Thread: Bug out vehicle

  1. #1

    Default Bug out vehicle

    How about it all? Do you have a primary vehicle\ rig set up for your great bug out? If so what is it and why?
    I've got my F-250 super-duty with a my 25 ft (old) tag along to get me down the road if I decide to roll out. It's equipped with the basics for 4 of us to make it for a couple of weeks, or until I get to my "retreat".
    But if all else fails LPC's and buttpacks are on the agenda.

    IMHO if it is major SHTF the best BOV may be to HOOF it.

    Packs ready, extra gas, just need to grab firearms and I am off on my Honda Rincon. I can be deep in the hills & hollows from my back yard in minutes. Place planned to hide the Rincon in the middle of nowhere, then a little walk and I am all set. I also have alternate plans of course.

    Sure wish I had a neighbor with a Hummer. Never tried a bicycle thru the woods & brush or a canoe either but to each his own "said the farmer as he kissed his pig" I will do my thing. I will never see 60 again but I sure can learn if someone has a better idea.

    Trail trekking bro, hike the canoe thru the woods using a trail. And the closest river to me is about 100 yards from the house... soooo. Yeah trail trekk. And the neighbor works for GM so he gets a great deal... till the shtf and I take it from him.

    Now "borrowing" the Hummer I can understand, just convince him he should keep a full tank for "emergencies". Don't think I could backpack a canoe. I live between two lakes but I guess I will get water transportation like you will get a Hummer. Just be sneaky.

    Sneak'n and snoop'n are great traits in shtf survival situation and sometimes just for shi*s and giggles. Actually I'd be "aquiring" the HUMMER and would return it when... ... ever

    A big bag of popcorn, warm fuzzy slippers, a big blanket, a couple of good books and lots of ammunition for my rifles...digging in as opposed to bugging out.

    Actually, I could think of one other criterion, but I'll just shut the **** up now, don't want to cause any blushing.

    It was set-up with all the amenities needed to fully live in.

    2.) 3000 watt power inverter
    3.) Propane RV refrig. (mounted in the back under the bed.) W/50# propane tank (mounted underneath)
    4.) Portable outside hot water shower
    5.) 20" LCD TV w/ DVD player
    6.) A VMAC 12 volt belt driven air compressor w/5 gal. air tank
    7.) 2 quick connect ports for air hose (Frt. & Rr.)

    Plus upper storage bins for clothing, blankets, etc. And much more.

    I sold it when I moved into the back country full time.
    Everything I have posted is pure fantasy. I have not done any of the things that I have claimed to have done in my posts. I actually live in Detroit.
