I’ve thought that some kind of rail hand car would make a good bug out vehicle. I wish this article had some pictures.

How To Build a Railway Handcar

I also have see rail bikes that people have made.

Maybe. But keep in mind, in an apocalyptic situation, routes like the roads and rail lines may become popular travel routes for the hordes. Humans are creatures of habit, so they will have an affinity for paved roads and rails and trails and when they camp out, they won’t want to get too far from them.

There was an interesting and alarming article recently about a massive bunker that a family is building in VA. They made their fortune as consultants to the intelligence agencies. The thing is a massive, impregnable fortress. Frightening that they are building it for themselves. I’ll see if I can find the link.
