Did not say that!
Take advantage of the sheeples misfortune and lack of prior proper planning.
Use their piss poor planning to my tactical advantage, to ensure survival.
In no way harm or cause harm intentionally to anyone that is not an aggressor to me or my family.

Unless you live in the desert or your BOV is amphibious, you are going to be stuck the first time you get to a bridge that's either down or closed to traffic.
The best BOV is your house. You can store years worth of supplies there and you don't have to worry about clogged roads.![]()

Thanks, you made my point.

It's not about the truck and it is not about the distance traveled. Get out there with whatever you have, meet people and see things. Push the envelope of your comfort zone and live.
I'm thinking a five year old Crown Vic would blend pretty well and besides having among the best parts availability they are actually quite rugged. The Popo runs them over curbs at speed regularly. They are also large enough to carry plenty and even tow when necessary. Ex Police issue versions go for $2000 at auction every week.
If it really is an emergency, though, Camrys and Civics are on both sides of any obstical and start with a screwdriver.

The whole bug-out concept is fun to consider/plan, but realistically where are you planning to go? If you live near a large population, all roads are going to be packed, likely to the point of shut down. People will fan out from the city, choking the surrounding suburbs until there is 100% gridlock and no ability to travel by vehicle. The home plan is definitely the best, unless you have some sort of secret hide-away that won't be filled with people. Or if you live far enough away that the panicked and unprepared won't ruin your day.
