If you are planning a bug out, it's important to have the right bug out vehicle. There are several factors to consider: size, off-road terrain and gear. Also, it is important to weigh the risks to help you choose the right vehicle for bugging. Whether you'll be bugging out in a military vehicle or a family sedan, you'll need to choose your vehicle carefully.
Construct a bugout vehicle
When planning your bug out vehicle checklist, think about the type of emergency situation that you might be facing. What type of emergency situation will you be facing? Thugs, riots, or traffic jams. What gear are you going to need? What is the best route? How can you overcome obstacles? The type of bug out vehicle chosen will determine the answer.
While it's great to bug out in your vehicle, it can also be a hassle. Your vehicle will be known by your neighbors and the police. Although they may attempt to catch you if you run, it is possible to make your vehicle less visible by choosing an unobtrusive exterior. Off-road vehicles are a great choice because they look normal on the outside and can be outfitted with the best bug out gear.
Purchase a bug-out vehicle
A bug out vehicle should be maintained for the duration of the situation. You want a car that is reliable, and simple to fix. You want to purchase a car you can easily maintain.
Your vehicle should have off-road capabilities. A vehicle that is not capable of driving on the back roads can be dangerous.
Prepare for your bug out car
An emergency first-aid kit is a must have for your bug out vehicle. You can keep these supplies in your trunk. However it is best to also make sure that your fuel tank has enough. Also, rotate your supplies to avoid any spoilage. Keep an eye out for expiration dates on food and other supplies. You should not let your vehicle's gasoline tank get below half. You should always top it off as soon as possible.
A bug out vehicle should include food storage and a refrigerator. You should also have a tent and bedding inside, since bug out vehicles are often used for shelter.
Selecting a bugout location
Picking a bug-out location is an important step in bugging. You should pick a location that will keep you safe, such as a friend's home, an abandoned building, or a piece of land away from the main road. It should be somewhere you've been to often and are familiar with. It should be an area where you can plant a tree, hide supplies, or create traps.
When choosing a bug out location, keep in mind that different disasters call for different places. If you live in an area that is highly prone to radiation, you might want to choose an underground location. High ground is a good choice in flood-prone areas. You should avoid high ground in areas that are prone to wildfires.
