#7 is a "Tiny House", they are getting very popular these days. #9 is an Aussie camper that I've looked at before, all store-bought campers are too expensive for me though 
, so as usual I'll be building my own soon.
I think bugging out in a camper is a valid option if you have the skills to live off the land, but you have to paint them a darker colour, white sticks out in the bush like dog's balls, you can see a white vehicle for MILES.

Yeah, but wa sit really 66 thousand? Ouch!number 7 isn't so bad either,with the weathered look it has,looks old,mis-used and derelict
Yeah, with the price of new campers it's either build it yourself or stay in a motel! I've actually camped in my car several times. Luckily the seats fold down and it's reasonably comfortable. I wouldn't mind getting a full sized van again and do a little customizing on it. I am kind of tied to the animals and gardening here, so it's tough to get away for more than three days, so I'm not too eager to go out and buy anything just now.#7 is a "Tiny House", they are getting very popular these days. #9 is an Aussie camper that I've looked at before, all store-bought campers are too expensive for me though

If any of you guys on any of the other continents are thinking about building your own bug out or leisure camper van I highly recommend you get a copy of the absolute best book on the subject its called TRAVEL VANS by John Speed.
we spent our honeymoon in the back of a small Bedford Rascal van, we have both lived in caravans(not mobile homes or park homes) for several years, I quite fancy one of those teardrop trailers, if I had the land I'd like one of those Airstream jobbies.
i like #6 as well as #3....#6 looks like that it can be set up on a hill side as well
I was going to say something like that, why buy one when you can take one for a 'test-drive'.
There are other 'useful' locations that would be good to take note of when the SHTF if you get what I mean...

Interesting. But in a SHTF incident most of them scream out "I got lots of money come get it". I'd rather stick to a wall tent.
Okay, and I thought we had the market on Red Necks in the South...looks like N.Z are kinfolk.
Even funnier would be someone sitting in the trailers...screaming...get your "hots here!" or they be throwing over the fence to the fans as an extra added bonus...here in Texas, we'd be throwing corny dogs or burritos!

I've ordered myself an OS map of my surrounding area and will be scouring Google Maps and marking the map of the location of any useful location, such as where I can obtain certain items when the SHTF.always keep your eyes open,scout your surroundings
A shame you don't live in the U.S. You can download USGS maps for free and have them printed at Kinko's.
Do you re-transposed those markings on handheld maps in case of losing the use of an electrical device?
A lot of money and comfort (in normal times) though I'm not so sure driving around in/with luxury in a post-shtf would be very smart to say the least, kindly throws out the gray-man idea. I'll stick with my tents or tarps. I'm really partial with not making myself a target in a post-shtf situation
i was just thinking of the very thought mav..but then again.if a person leaves out soon enough to a BLO,then they (might) be alright..and that'd mean more items for said location..
True, If that's the case hopefully there will be enough time with the warning.
i know the day will come,in which i'll have to bug out..and thats exactly what im hoping for.ample warning and time..
If you mean am I going to mark the 'paper' map with locations I see on Google Maps then, yes. If the S DOES hit then there is a possibility that we could lose power.
I am, however looking into buying a generator. Or I might put the location of where I can obtain one on my map and 'borrow' one when 'it' does happen.
We do have a camping room as part of our horse trailer, so if we had to bug out, we'd likely load up the horse area with supplies, hook the trailer up to the truck, and leave, if needed. We keep it pretty stocked up, most of the time, with other supplies, but would need to load up food and water.
Do you plan to stay in Florida? I personally think I need to go to higher ground since the effects of Planet X may put the state under water. Leaving mid month and hoping to form a caravan of like-minded escapees. First stop Western NC mountains. I'm new to this, so please forgive any newbie mistakes
Personally speaking, I think the so-called planet X will be the least of your worries
Though finding higher ground isn't always a bad idea especially living in Florida for multiple reasons. On a side note, youtube is full of misinformation especially regarding the planet-x thing!
I moved to the appilacian mountains about 11 yrs ago from Florida. I think it was the best thing I ever did. Where I was was overcrowded, over taxed, and something like twenty five feet above sea level. I loved living in fla., but from a prepping standpoint, this area in the mountains is a hundred times better.
As far as Planet X, I don't mean to be rude here but don't you think that someone with a telescope would have found it by now? They just found the lander that was knocked out from the bad landing on an asteroid, Philae, I think. There are pretty clear pictures of it and it's millions of miles away. I know they recently theorized that there could be things rotating the sun in different planes than all the other planets. Asteroids, ice balls, big rocks sure, but a planet? Pretty far fetched to me.
I think that there are so many things that can adversely affect our lives today that you don't need to worry about the really far out there things. Just my humble opinion here, which really dosent amount to much.
Oddly enough, they've all but confirmed planet X, but it's SO far out, that really, it's not much of a factor in anything (though it may explain some cyclic events)...

We're on decently high ground here. Just pretty rooted here, so yeah, not going anywhere.
