bug-out-vehicle

note the all naturel all time eight wheel drive ...the ultimate in getting out of dodge vehicle ..notice the low center of gravity for greater stability over rough terrain a truly green machine with a carrying capacity of upwards of 1/4 ton I can go from coast to coast on only a gallon of grade a kerosene a truly remarkable means of transport ...... with an added benefit you have something to talk to that doesn't talk back...here here people meet

Jack an Jill .... I just love this two fuzzy eared guys....that is if one plans on bugging out personally I plan on bugging in I got to much money time and hard work invested to just up and walk away

I always thought that bicycles would be a bug out vehicle option. They could be quiet and have no need for fuel (or feed). I think you can get around 100 miles a day, give or take on a bicycle. How many miles can you go on a tire, before it needs to be replaced?

I did look into bikes for desert escape. Fat tires, dual tires. A bit easier to travel in light sandy washes, tow a very small trailer (for limited supplies) but then got realistic and took into consideration of age, health, and distance to a safe haven. Decided to just shoot it out.

That's just about where I stand.

The Viet Cong heavily used bicycles when the roads were bombed out.

you can put solid tires on a bicycle
it's been 15 yrs since i bought mine and they're still in great condition
also they're heavy

Since you are not riding the bike but it is being used to haul a lot more weight that you can tot on your back the tire weight is not important but the durability is.

There are many variations of possibilities when it comes to bicycles. Here is a quadracycle.

Re: bicycles
Don't expect to just hop on one and pedal all day. If I got on a bike today, my wrists would start going numb inside the first hour and my rump would be sore shortly after that. The wrist problem is primarily due to how I end up holding myself, a nerve in my hand gets pinched. It's a common problem with cyclists. The butt thing just takes time. There's a bone in your butt called the "seat bones", your weight should be on those when riding. If you aren't conditioned or your bike seat doesn't fit you right, you'll be in for a sore time.

I am with you about the rump. I fell down some stairs in college, and hurt my tailbone. I have had to be very careful about where I sit and how I sit.

There are many people who do a lot of bike riding for whom this is not a problem.

I've been looking at electric bikes. Not to bugout but to use. You can use them as a regular bike or just electric or as electric-assist. Prices start around $500 and go up from there.
