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.

Got one of my own
That truck looked like the one you wreaked
Get an old school carberatwd truck, times get hard ya can make moonshine out of anything, it dont have to taste good or be drinkable, just burnable

Land rover for sure lol jk it would break down and you would die
Jeff Stroud
I will just kill and take it most likely
Good luck finding parts if anything breaks on it.
Al Hallonquist
Did you find me one?
I’d rather use a horse or a bicycle.
one of them is the crown vic police interceptor . you will be surprised where they can go and what they can do .
The ford explorer is my every day truck and my big baby is my let’s get the hell out of here truck.

Reckon I’ve got some work to do to make it EMP resistant.
12v cummins with a 5 speed should be on this list and its not wtf
Bicycle
Here is mine
The problem with this vehicle is everybody will know it’s loaded with survival gear.
Almost everything on that list is not readily available, not sustainable today, or not relevant.
The pre 2008 generation are simply great, I’ve had both an old one and a 2009, I liked the old one better and probably shouldn’t have upgraded it. Never failed as long as you knew how to wrench on it.
Shes not pretty but it gets the job done

I would imagine if any of us make it that long we’ll be bartering or stealing a horse for sure!
I got a 1984 Toyota SR5 pickup wonderful 22 miles a gallon out 4 Wheel a 4 wheeler and go 80 MPH with enough road. I’ve had the 6.2 diesel motor in several Suburbans and Blazers. Unbreakable slow as my Toyota but still Unbreakable and about 35 miles a gallon on the old Diesel with red dye.
S*** hits the fan the paint job will change
Older atvs should be on this list. I have to old 3 wheelers that run. One is a pull cord only to start. It has no battery at all and has no computer and the electricity is requires is generated by the motor. When parked it uses no power no battery to go dead when sitting for long periods of time and will go damn near anywhere.
Mine won’t either lol
Nothing better than a good Cut V
Got two CUCV’s love them
My old harley Davidson
Dude, that’s an army m1009. Military version of the Dodge Power Wagon. Solid, reliable, carbureted SUV.
Owned an 84 CUCV Blazer and it was my daily driver until the floor evaporated. It was no salt flat record setter but it would go a week on drops of diesel. Once you learned the nuances of how it ticked it was reliable everyday transportation. It wasn’t comfortable in heat or winters but could easily be fashioned to do so.
Not a good ‘first date’ veh….
John Shepherd M1009 is a Chevrolet Blazer. 6.2 mechanical fuel-injected diesel with a turbo 400 transmission.
Laura Steele..this is Johns truck
Glow plugs on a cummins … lol
CUCV all the way!
You can keep the Duce and a half.
Worked on too many to to know parts are like trying to scaveng to keep a Studebaker on the road.
Can you say PCMS
Those old military Chevrolet blazers are the biggest piles of junk, I know, I had one before. Weird 24 volt system, cracked the flywheel twice, was constantly breaking starter bolts off in the engine block, the engine is non-turbo has very little power, is totally worthless in the mud.
Jake Doubya
Don’t forget the glow plugs and how hot it was in the summer.
The engine is a pos, a 350 block with some diesel heads, tada, it’s a 5.7 diesel now.
Cory Mobley
They arent emp proof but they are emp hardened. The p71 crown. Vic has atleast a dozen more grounding points than the ” granny versions”. To prevent emp burn out damages.
Why is an old CUCV the cover pic for this?
Those things are junk!
Drove them in the army.
Total junk. Absolutely agree with you.
Whoever made this list is well just dumb. Those CUCVs are absolute junk.
