Stronghold 2: Fight or Flight





In the Summer of 2011, InkaHoots was asked to build a Stronghold at the DiRosa Preserve as part of the Zombie Proof House exhibit. The crew, wanting to explore the concept of camouflage, decided to build a survival shelter disguised as a plane crash. Made from found lumber, cardboard and old canvas billboards, the stronghold:fight or flight contained some new features like a nitro-powered rat hunter:2, various surveillance tools, and a micro powered radio station that broadcasted transmissions into the Vulture Shine/Outhouse. As part of the exhibit the Inka Hoots team filmed a zombie movie in collaboration with the students of the Oxbow School Summer camp. The Stronghold: Fight or Flight was built over the coarse of 3 weeks as part of the DiRosa residency program. Joel and Josh were hosted by some of nicest people in Napa.

Vehicles of the Stronghold




InkaHoots utilizes a variety of remote controlled vehicles for two main functions. Firstly the RCV serves as a unmanned reconnaissance. In WROL (Without Rule Of Law) and SHTF (Shit Hits The Fan) environments you need as much "behind the lines" support as you can get. Secondly, Inka Hoots utilizes the RCV as a form of rodent control. The Rat Hunters are equipped with a several offensive weapons including a pike, automatic pellet gun and a sonic blaster fashioned from an old megaphone.
