Post by: DMCakhunter on September 26, 2014, 09:22:35 AM
Saw this company in my latest american survival guide.
Wish I had the space for one.

I got the space for all of them, no cash for any of them.  :facepalm:

Liked how you can procure firewood with them.  :thumbsup:

For $130K I could buy land and build a great cabin in a very rural location.  :facepalm:

Oh...I already did  :dancingBanana:

Lol that made me laugh Jmac. You usually don't boast. But yeah it's silly to spend so much on a mega bug out machine when you could just use the money to buy a perfect bug out location.

Due to some weird connection issue I can't check out the whole website and thus didn't see the specs of these beasts but I can only imagine that they're incredibly thirsty. I know that it's not nearly as cool but apart from 2 cars that I'm prepping for a bug out I also have 2 electric bikes (you always need a little redundancy). I can't say that I'm 100% happy with the bikes but they are quicker and less tiring than walking and get almost 200km on a single charge (actually designed a little buggy using their motors and gears which would be cool) I am also looking at possibly getting 2 petrol conversion jobs from Motoped. They became quite popular at a stage due to their "survival bike" but I would rather grab the standard and kit it out myself.

I've been living in a 6x6 ex-Army truck for 14 years, I love it to bits but also I argue against it as a BOV for real TEOTWAWKI. For short-term natural disaster stuff you probably can't do better, just turn the key, drive somewhere safe and sit there in real comfort until it's over.

But for serious WROL it is way too high profile, just a trouble magnet I think. In that case I'll be firing up the Landcruiser, or even the hiking boots.
