Bee trying to find a copy of that movie forever.
Yeah but you would need to do something about soundproofing it and then the cooking smells...
Cap’n Toby’s gonna do some huntin’!
I’d prefer a sturdy vehicle that could move quickly and over rough ground. My ideal bug out location would be far from crowds and stocked ahead of time with everything that I would need.
A camper, imho, would be a liability.

I like that.
If it has a computer in it, to run the engine - then no good.
The next war will - without a doubt - involve the use of EMP devices.
They are cheap, effective, and if you do it right you don’t even know who hit you until it is too late to find out.
Nobody dies, right away. It’s just that the power goes out - for a year. No car made after 1975 or so will work. No radio made after 1970 or so will work.
Everyone just ends up starving to death and killing each other over what little food is left.
No big deal.
One Second After - William Fortchean. The forward, believe it or not, is by Newt Gingrich.
It will change the way you look at preparing for a SHTF scenario.
I disagree about the 6, in that it is gasoline.
The original chain-driver 4 cylinder “turbo”* diesel is an amazingly tough little engine. It’s the same Perkins diesel found in London Taxis, de-tuned even more. Basically bullet proof.
* it’s barely boosted.
Well, I have 4 mud tires and 4 snow tires.
(It’s the vehicle we leave at our mountain house. Lots of people seemed to figure out they are perfect for leaving up there. Diesel doesn’t go bad near as fast as gas.)
Damnation Alley is on YouTube.

About a decade or so back, I wound up at the national storytelling festival in TN a few times.
On the way into Jonesboro at a little garage sat a jeep commando that no one did anything with.
I have a 65 Willys Jeep that I swapped in electronic ignition. It runs really good when it runs which has been a while.
The 82 cj7 needs an engine and I am looking at a jasper this summer assuming the shekels are there. The engine is locked and taking a chance, a remanufactured has less risk.
I would like to frame off restore but I would be paying for that for years. I wish I had a proper building to do real work. An open carport in the burbs is what’s available.
WOW I have never seen one of those.
I’m familiar with the 4 cylinder, 85 HP Perkins used in construction equipment, and it’s pretty good on diesel.
Some do...mine is a WAAG. Fastened really well and shouldn’t fold. Bumped a deer...bumped, didn’t hit hard...and have pushed a couple of vehicles with no serious damage.
My fog lamps are Hella. I posted that wrong.
Not saying it isn’t fixed well. I think what they were talking about is the bars that kind of go up around the grille, the unfixed part, that in a crash, get folded down back into the grill and get crushed into/onto the hood.
Dad has a 225 v6 jeep and that little motor has a lot of get up and go when it runs.
buy a used ambulance..
can convert to a camper real easy, and if the lights and siren work, it just might give you the little extra edge you need to beat traffic
