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.

Plus you can eat the horse if you get hungry.
no one ever considers the need to be covert… think a motorcycle would be best… or a horse… because anything else will be turned back at the first government check point.
yes… cammo is not very good cammo.
Some of the best “cleaners”, dressed like Priests, and walk in and out without any thought or second look.
a sound you never forget…the deuce and half whistle!!
Why did the vw bug not end up on this list?
Does that have ttb
That’s awesome
Still have my jungles those are the best

My “toy” works.
I want one too. Heard you can feed them used motor oil.
And what you going to do if we are hit with an emp bomb? The electric and electronics on yours will not work.
Just saying
What about the coil?
Its small enough to keep a spare in a metal box, loke a little tool box to keep a spare alternator and coil, if i switch it to breajer point ignition the alternator and coil are the only critical electronics to worry about
In Toyota, I trust.
Joseph Shadden
What’s that
My trucks carburated, stick shift, has a gm 1 wire alternator on it, only electronics to worry about is the icm, once i put in a breaker point distributor theres hardly any electronics to worry about
My 2004 Mustang will carry enough ammo and camping gear to cross the country. It is 4×4, burns easily scrounged renewable fuel, and will go anywhere. Note the wet marks up to my pockets. Do THAT in your BOV and let me know how that works for you.
I’m in big trouble.
Do you by chance deal with any m1009 parts?
I love mine so far.
Any of you guys switch to 12v starters?
Also can the axles from m1008 get bolted right in place?
Tia
The 24v is just under hood…..buy a cheap $350 12v starter and do some wire shuffling…..and switch from the 24v glowplugs. And you the 60 and 14 bolt with bolt right up.
Here is a little info…

I stand corrected…..starters are only $100 now…..wow they’ve really came down since I had mine.
Hell yea the CUCV. I have a jacked up k5 with a 383 stroker and those knobby knobs. It would take hundreds of BLM protesters to bog her down!
ATC’s are awesome
I have 2 I also have an 84 big red I got for $75 that runs pretty good
Ya gotta Remember guys, during SHTF , EVERYone will know what you have , friends Nieghbors, anyone who reads this and other formats, and so will the Government , OPSEC dictates that you attempt to use more “Grey Man” Tactics when putting together a Bugout Vehicle, keeping in mind .it might be extremely short term, you have to also consider , Family members, Items you may have to “Carry” Backpacks, yes, coolers, no, plan food accordingly, … I love the Deuce too, climb right up the side of a steep hill, ford water that would stop any other car or truck cold,… But Stands out and also says to everyone(Especially the Bad guys) “HEY, look at ME, I’m a Bugout Truck ” ! I’m using something different ..
Unless it’s a points ignition I would think an EMP would leave most of these vehicles inoperable
It’s why I have a 92 dodge cummins 4×4 with 5 spd all mechanical
1986 Toyota 4×4 Factory Diesel (On Crags List) 40MPG
1986 Toyota Diesel 40 MPG
So is my 86 Toyota Diesel
I f it’s not mechanical diesel it won’t run after emp or nuke solar flare and if it’s not manual trans to push start how will u get it started u need a batter basic wiring and a solar charger put in a Faraday cage to protect it
Adam Belles
Richard Zebley that kinda looks like yours
Would not recommend for anyone driving off road either. Lol.
Jeep chrokee
Drove plenty of these back in the day…..
Whats top speed after the conversion? Many top out around 40 mph depending on tire size in stock form
My Jeep will get it done
Convoy speeds were 45 mph for safety but many would do much more if the governor was set for it.
Daniel Rodewolt
That’s what I been telling yall
I’ll stick with my jeeps
