The decision to purchase a bug-out vehicle should not be taken lightly. There are a ton of variables you have to consider or you will end up with a vehicle that does not meet your needs or is more than you need.

There is also the issue of expense.

You could spend a small fortune on a vehicle and at the end of the day, end up with a really expensive target for thieves when a much less expensive or vehicle that won't stand out as much could meet all your needs.

In many cases, even plain and inexpensive vehicles can be modified to enhance a bug-out experience or to give you the edge you need.

On the next page, we discuss elements you must consider when selecting and buying a bug-out vehicle and also some upgrades you can add to your vehicle.

    For real man. If you buy an H2 as your BOV, just go ahead and shoot yourself.

    Some people will have to bug out in a corolla, or what have you. It’s a lot better than that. Out of curiosity, what is your vehicle?

    Nope, sure ain’t. An H2 shares the same chassis though, but is more robust and more capable.

    That’s cool. Ya know, I hated the H2 when I saw it in concept at the autoshow. But later worked at a premier Hummer dealer. I drove lots of 1’s and 2’s. The H2 is surprisingly capable, roughly 85% of H1. The torque-trac system makes a huge difference as well. It’s one of the most capable (stock) vehicles you can get.

    The original H1s were the$#%&!@* The neutered versions they came out w later just made me sad. Apparently I wasn’t the only 1 since they dnt make em any mor

    7.3 Excursion…a real BOV. Solid axles, will rub on dirty fuel, plenty of room and power to haul, sleep in, drive over anything you need to. Mine is sitting tall.
