Would take the horse any day!!
Same here. I'll take my horses any day.
Well you can't eat a truck
Nope and horse isn't too bad on the grill.
More important is the bug out location .
True, but if you're going, you should at least enjoy the ride!
Ya'll can have your horses I have two rules I live by...
1. Don't ride anything that don't have an off switch.
2. Don't ride anything that has it's own brain.
If a 1000lb. animal don't want you on its back there is nothing you can do to stop it from getting you off of it.

That is very true Wild Man. My Hubs does all of our training and so far we have very few lawn dart moments and the majority of them have been mine and they are my fault because my seat sucks rocks. I would recommend riding your own animals that way you know them, you know how they spook, what spooks them, and the warning signals that one is going to blow. Right now we have one and funnily enough it is the youngest girl's horse, who is a spooky assed *******. Anyone but her rides him, they'd best sit deep and hang on cause he's a demon on hooves. She rides him and it's a complete opposite, it's like riding a 30 year old glue factory horse. He does what she asks, when she asks and goes through anything for her. So far she's had him in the water, over fences, through heavy smoke, heavy rain/storm, bicycles coming up on her, 4 wheelers coming up on her, as well as dogs, cars, and cattle; he listens to her and if anyone else tried to pull it off he'd throw them.
That's the one thing that just irks the **** out of me that you see in movies and on tv. People coming up on horses in a pasture and the next thing you know, they're on them and riding hell bent for leather. The pilot episode of The Walking Dead is a fine example, he didn't know if that horse was broke, sound, crazy, or anything else; you just see him hauling *** for Atlanta. Okay, off my soap box for now.

The first bug out vehicle I owned.............................................................. 74 Gremlin .......lol............. I'm not fooling.
74 ford pinto station wagon
With spinners
With spinners
No such thing .
Well no spinners
Lift kit and spinners.........................now that needs a picture post. $3,356 dollars does not include same. Personally I'd rather have a Pacer.
I'm a Ford guy
I had a GMC Concord that thought it was 4 wheel drive. Had a Ford Maverick that went through hell too.
I have run the gamut of Fords
Falcon pinto maverick 2 fiestas
Probe ranger explorer 3 f150's and a mustang

Only kidding about the Pacer, they blow -up if hit from behind................ 4x4 Bronco behind the workshop, gased up and ready.
What about Zombieland, Woody Harrelsons' Number 3 2005 Cadillac Escalade?
Currently, mine's an older F-350 diesel dual-wheel truck. I've got an auxiliary 151 gallon tank in addition to the two standard tanks, and all kinds of doo-dads on it (including a CB...may not get much use now, but post SHTF?). Gooseneck hitch in the bed, as well as a standard hitch on the bumper.
I love this behemoth.
In a bug-out situation, we'd hook up the horse trailer (which has a decently stocked up living area). Depending on the situation, we'd either take a horse and or just load up the trailer with more supplies.

AS far as bug out vehicles in movies. I'd go for the vehicle in Damnation Alley. Anyone ever see that one?

I like the horse and the modified school bus. =)
85 toyota
imo, it depends on the type of bugout.
people will probably want a good fuel efficient. Gasoline/Electric hybrids are probably the best option for cars. It is really hard to imagine exactly what people have going through their heads.
I'm really digging the rail trucks, as they can run on railroads. but I would want to improve that with suspension system for offroad. A solid 4wd truck that can run on gas/electric and even better if it can take diesel. You know what I'm talking about

The other really cool vehicle is the flying car, they really exist now in various models, one of them lands in water but can take off from a highway, while the other can take off and land on roads, but is more of an ultralight.
I figure the flying cars are great prepper vehciles because it gives you access to the air to.
I'm going to keep my eye out for an old RV over the years.. old schoolbuses are good because there are so many of them so parts on a breakdown could realistically be obtained. I've seen some of these turned into RVs. The problem with big vehicles is the need for fuel so anyone who has a bugout vehicle, it should be able to carry or acquire as much fuel as you need to get to your bugout.
The one doomsday prepper show with the retired I think cop turned radioshow guy is a good example of a dooable vehicle. the transport truck is a good buy too as it has a cab and can haul pretty much anything you need.
Meanwhile the military has a lot of good systems.. fuel efficiency still leaves to be desired though.
I think any really good bov will have 4wd off road an excellent suspension system the ability to haul on its engine ex. 180hp + good fuel efficiency, and room
I really like the hummers too.
So far I would want a gas=diesel/electric hybrid 4wd truck with rail runners. that is atleast 180hp, or perhaps even an RV with rail runners
probably extended cap, improve suspension with a cab cover that is down sloping to the rear..
they are pretty expensive though even this 2008 is like 50k.

this is a 97' and still going for 15k

I think any madly super bov will both have rail runners, and offroad and on road with gas/electric.
the rail trucks have good towing capacity and are fairly rugged. lots of potentials with them.
or check this out
these things have offices in them
for a bugout those HHO vehicles look way more attractive if you have some solar pannels but you will probably add some weight in batteries.. electricity in general is not really needed but it helps. having the ability to convert your piss or someone elses into ammonia for fuel can go a long way if the refineries are taken off line by long term disaster.
a good winch system is also a vital off road tool.
being somewhere where only air or train can access will be a big bugout bonus
this one is cool too
the lift could be used for gaining some height for both radio communications and for visibility long distance viewing etc..

I like the '87 Ford for movie bov
Check this out....
Oh, and if you happen to encounter a lot of electromagenetic pulses where you operate, protection against them is an option.

I had an 88 Suzuki Samurai but it had lots of probs. So I just traded it out for a freshly rebuilt Honda CR125 2 stroke w/some mods. Very fast and maneuverable and great on gas. I want to mount my AK to the handle bars and see if I could fire on the run, but just haven't worked up the cohonas to do this yet.
Based on where I live -> boat!
Best BOV is anything that is quiet and hard to see. haha I do love the idea of anything that will let me ride on railroads, that actually would fit perfectly into my Bug Out plan!
