You may think you're fully prepared to bug out, but bug out preparations are a lot more than just stockpiling food, water, supplies, and assembling a top-notch bug out bag. You also need to ensure there's a plan in place to get yourself to a bug out location when the grid goes down.
Even if you don't have a bug out location setup, it's still vital to have a rugged vehicle you can depend on when SHTF. Think about it: when all of the stores are cleared out and police have abandoned their post, it's important to stop criminals from discovering your whereabouts. They are designed for fuel efficiency and safety, not SHTF reliability.
Today's vehicles simply won't do when it comes to being rugged.
That's why this list of 10 vehicles you should consider will save your butt. Find out which bug out vehicles won't let you down when the grid goes down.

toyota tacoma, 4runner or land cruiser. proven capability, durability, reliability and longevity.
Dakota?
Almost on topic: as a consideration to familiarize yourself with possible evacuation routes and getting a better general knowledge of your big city, consider taking a part time job as a taxi driver.
Yes you heard right, a taxi driver has a much more intimate knowledge of the big city. Companies like Uber and Lyft make it possible to get acquainted and make money at the same time.
At least that’s the revelation I had while getting my taxi license for NYC this year.
Horses best transportation ever ….. Don’t live in a big city less chance of escaping it …. Stay vigilant ….
Ya how stupid to not put a jeep. Id choose that over any of them
Yeah, these old military vehicles are hard to find and are not reliable. My 2010 Nissan pickup is far better than a duce and a half…your list needs a jeep, dirt bike/quad
if you have a GM…you INT GOT MUCH;

CUCV great vehicle never got stuck.The 1st Humvees sucked in mud and muck. I got stuck once with the USAREUR deputy commander, division commander and brigade commander .I buried the Humvee in mud up past the middle of the doors. I had to wade through the muck and flag down an M88 to pull us out. This took place at Hoenfels West Germany.

The first thing that comes to mind I see that picture is grumpy old men…
But my very first vehicle was a 91 jeep Cherokee and that thing ran like I champ! Seeing how much hell my buddy put it through since I bought it from him lol
Hj 60 land cruiser un stopable
Can’t forget mid 70’s and earlier benz diesel cars.
I wouldn’t trust a 6.5 with my life they’re all hunks of s**t
56 Willy’s Jeep
I had one or two old CUCV blazers.
Terribly unreliable. Wiring is s**t
CUCV is not a reliable truck
I have a surplus M923 5 ton truck. EMP resistant and 6X6. With an automatic trans and air brakes it is easy to drive. And a ’75 Bricklin for efect. 😉
I was forced to trade my faithful jeep for the all new cucv,,I kept putting it off and off, my co was pretty up set with me because i refuse to trade my jeep in, on 4 different field exercises we came across a lot of stuck or broke down cucv, my co commented to me wow these new vehicles are not very reliable,,I told him imagine that sir, and you wonder why I refuse to get rid of your jeep sir, we both sir would be walking had I followed your instructions to trade in your jeep, well finally I was ordered to trade in the jeep, on that day I also gave up my military drivers license, my excuse was I am a short timer, sir you need a new driver to go with your new not reliable not field tested cucv, saluted him and walked out of his office, I heard him on the phone telling the 1st sergeant to find him a new fucking driver, his exact words, miss them days.
Nothing stops this beast! Built 355, 35″ mud tires and locked diffs
110 Landrover…
I dove a CUCV in Hawaii and Korea. They can get stuck if an idiot orders you to drive into a mudpit. In the rain. At night. BUCKLE UP, WE’RE GOIN IN…BUT WE WON’T BE COMING OUT!! #toldyaso!

Having some$#%&!@*whipe go through it all, stealing what they want, destroying what they don’t. losing all you appliances every piece of furniture all your tools, all your memories !!

I am going to ask people out there to do one last try at these calls. But I need info back. Can you all make calls again to the News Channels and the Reps and courts etc. and keep a record of when and who you talked to and how many times you called so I can keep some sort of record. I could sure use the feedback on this, it’s all becoming to depressing any more. Thank You All,,, CHECK MY WALL !!

Those military Blazers are cool. Our local school district has a bunch of them they use to tow around their big lawn mowers.
Reverand Thomas Casey check these out
I’ve still got my license somewhere. 🙂
What the CUCV this that?
Well…. When the SHTF this is the last vehicle you want to be in….. You don’t want to be wearing ANY tactical clothing or driving a Military type of anything…. Those that do… Won’t last long as they will be targets from both the state and those targeting provisions and gear.
KLR-650
It wouldn’t be what’s in the pic. I like the old blazer, but!
Camo Blazer in a bug out?? You get shot first thing and your$#%&!@*stole camo is a bulls eye.
Tasha Nicole Tunis
Let’s see urs….
Mines not camo hide in plain sight with a truck or jeep that doesn’t stand out.
Lol 85 toyota
Im on it!!
I’ve had two K5 Blazers….loved em wish i still had em
I’m good
No vehicle us reliable.
I think you have to look at the sustainability of your transportation also. Gas only lasts about 1 to 2 years with stabilizer added. Less without. Diesel about 5 to 7 years with a stabilizer added, less with out. A good 5 year old Gelding about 10 to 15 years. Although you may want a Stallion and a good Mare to extend their use. So maybe a good Diesel with a Horse trailer to get you to the wilderness and the horses to keep you going for years to come.
Come on…..89-93 dodge 5.9 mechanical diesel, dana axles, bed to haul supplies, no
Electronics to mess up from emp, good as it gets
Only down side was voltage regulator was in the ecm. Put a single wire alternator on it and you’re good to go.
Keep a good supply of glow plug control modules. They always went out.
Missed buying one by 15 mins….damnit…
Gotta give my old first gen. Trooper II “Further” some love. Don’t go nowhere fast, but she’ll climb a damn telephone pole. Especially since I gutted all the emission control bs out of her and took her back to 1930’s technology.
