Okay. So you survived. The $hit hit the fan and your bad a$$ took no prisoners and came out on top. Congratulations! You are officially... bored!

You destroyed what/who needed to be destroyed, moved on up from your temporary bug out shelter to your prime bunker, have a quite the sweet little garden growing if you do say so yourself. You've also scavenged enough supplies to get a small army through the New Dark Ages, and are currently sporting a very sexy beard if you do say so yourself. Quite honestly you can admit that you have read everything that looked interesting in your scavenged library, and now you officially have the wanderlust. You are itching for something to do. The lingering feeling of unrest which hits much of the population around spring is not always a precursor to travel. Sometimes it simply means you are insanely bored. The following is a non inclusive list to get those creative juices flowing.

Cuz We Gotta Have Friends
Eventually, you may need to find a buddy out there you can chat with. Years without human contact may drive your mind to some unhealthy ends. Be careful whom you choose. Poking your head out the door and befriending the first vagabond you see could prove disastrous. In addition to finding a buddy, your body will start to let you know that you need a mate of the opposite sex. If you succeed in finding a partner, you’ll have plenty to do. (Clean the bathroom, take out the trash, scavenge for valentine’s day cards, etc.)

Scavenger Hunt
Make a list of random things to find such as hubcap, lego, spoon. Then scour the land and try to find them. An interesting twist to this is in an urban environment. Your list can include: a full beer can, an unopened electric bill, a corpse minus the left arm… again, the sky is the limit here.

Tower Defense
Now that your home is safe and strong it's good to practice defending it from unsavory marauders. Pretend you are under siege, and throw rocks, fire homemade bows and arrows, set up nets and traps in strategic areas, and play around with it. You are a one man army, kick butt!

Be YOUR Make a Wish Foundation :)
Remember that tree house you wanted when you were a kid? Now is the time for your dream to come true! If there are no trees around, try telephone poles or scaffolding.

Random Bowl
Set up your ‘pins’, a binder, empty liter bottle of juice, sturdy sticks, a blow-dryer, or whatever else you can find, and try knocking them down with your softball or rock; of course, if you actually posses a bowling ball you are one cool cat! You get two points for every strike, one for a spare.

Save the Orphans
Rescue a critter from one of your snares. You can perfect your medical techniques, and once your little friend is healthy, gain his trust and companionship. Everything is always more fun with someone to share it with! Make sure he is not rabid or bipolar first, though.

Be the First Post Apocalypse Author
Start journaling your experiences. You made it through TEOTWAWKI for a reason. You have a spectacular story to tell.

Cut Your Hair
However you want. Anything goes now with no corporate butts to kiss!

DIY
Build your own blowguns, crossbows, solar panels etc.

Set up an obstacle course.

Using random items you scavenged. Remember that pool noodle? You knew it would come in handy! Use it as a hurdle! And the leftover emo fishnet shirts? Stretch those out and tack them to a frame you make out of sticks to simulate the exercise of low crawling under barbed wire in Army Basic Training. Your imagination and stock of random items are the only limit.

Disclaimer: Do not use anything with which you may potentially injure yourself. Nothing sharp or dangerous! Remember the key words: SURVIVING the apocalypse!
