There are many heated debates across the internet about what might be the best vehicle to get you out of harms way in case of some natural disaster or “zombie apocalypse.” Well, I’m going to lay it out for you now. The question of the best bug out vehicle is a pretty simple one. Because the best bug out vehicle is the one with four wheels (two wheels for a bike) and an engine that runs.
Many people care about having the biggest baddest off-roading machines. The only problem with that is… If you wait until something happens to try to get out of wherever you are, you aren’t going anywhere. Let’s be realistic, if you don’t leave prior to whatever event’s taking place, everyone is going to be trying to leave. And that usually means no one will be able to leave. So what’s the point of a bug out vehicle if you can’t go anywhere?
Obviously if you don’t live in the major cities or suburbs you won’t have this problem. But if that’s the case you probably wont be bugging out in the first place because you’re away from the general population.
I’m not trying to put down anyone who builds their dream bug out vehicle, because I love to see the work people put in to stuff like that. But the problem is, it needs to be a perfect situation for everything to work out. What if traffic is at a standstill or roads are closed? The last place you want to be is stuck in your bug out vehicle, which others can tell you clearly spent a lot of time creating for this exact situation, with a bunch of panicked people fleeing town who are willing to take what you have because they think it might help them survive.
My advice is to keep up with your hobbies and enjoy yourself. But please, look before you leap. There’s no reason to jump the gun and put yourself in a situation you may regret. The best of times are still ahead of us.
