Bug out vehicle

[Sam Reeves]

My bug out vehicle will be a pair of work boots so I can keep chopping wood. I won't be going anywhere. Folks will probably be coming to me.

Every vehicle I own is a bug out vehicle. Well, I am in the pest control business.

I think I'll just hangout here at the house. Unless I have to go into Anchorage to get my daughter and grandkids to bring them out here. In which case I'd probably use the T-100. I'm thinking that the two most likely "SHTF" scenarios for this part of Alaska would be an earth quake and or a tsunami. It would be hard to run from either.

Most likely I'll just stay at home because I am pretty much out there already. But, my truck (pictured) is pretty stocked up for flight. I guess I could run further back in the hills behind my house by dog team or pack train, or ride into the sunset on my 4wheeler or ol' Tundra (snow machine not Toyota). I won't be heading to the local river however...because it eventually ends up in New Orleans...a place to run from, not to

#1. Why am I bugging out? Is it a natural or man made problem?
Depending on what it is will define what I need to do.

Can you see Slim Pickins in the Fail Safe movie? Yee Haa!

Hmmm. Because I'm bored.... How about a

Diesel Chevy Suburban...four wheel drive. Outfitted with satellite communications abilities (phone & internet), GPS, run-flat tires, a brush guard and winch, towing package, well-stocked medical/trauma supplies, a nice arsenal of weaponry, a good supply of food and clothing..

Hitched up to the back a bumper pull camper with propane/electric appliances, shower and toilet, satellite, generator, and an extra supply of food and clothing as well as all the other essentials.

Then if you really wanted to get funky...have it all doctored on to be air tight and ballistic.

Hey Ranger - You'll need a bigger engine. You'll have to tow one of these.

If you live near the water, these seem to work pretty good.

Actually I have this and sent it to get "pimped out." Just didn't want to make anyone jealous.

They tell me parallel parking the thing is a booger.

Alternative methods are available to parallel parking.

Here's an interesting site on BOVs. They have an article on jumper cables that I thought was interesting.

Several years ago I was able to get my hands on about 30' of temporary power service. This is the stuff the power company throws on the ground for construction sites, etc. until the finished permanent power entrance can be used. The insulation is tough as nails and it's probably in the 1/0 or 2/0 gauge size. I bought a set of heavy duty clamps and made a set of jumper cables out of them. No more worrying about getting close enough to use them. I can park behind you and still jump start you.

Nah parallel parking is a breeze. That baby turns on a dime. And would you believe the gas mileage is great?!?! Well, that's only because I took the gas engine out and installed a miniature nuclear reactor. It'll run for 3,000 years before needing a refill.
