I used to remember a prepper/adventurist/camping topic on here a while back. I found it and the person, why, because They have done YEARS of this and presented it here for US to learn from. This is our effort of Personal Respect to
Oshkalaboomboom and helpers.
The reality we see in front of us is hard to grasp unless we start thinking like we are going to go through the same as we have seen in other coup related Countries throughout history.
Most will roll eyes, most will mock or throw stones, but none of you last year thought we would be under Totalitarian ( dont kid yourselves that it is not ) control.
Firstly a great many very experienced people are on here and also lurk, my family and myself are Not experts, you want that then your a day short and a dollar lost.
So the good news is that this thread will give you some ideas that are rational and functional, as well as being scary, why scary, because we are living in this now and it is not a movie or a game, or shall we be back to “normal” PDJT style American Security any time soon.
Bug In - wrote on this a while back, and the thread stopped, but I think it was due to the fact people still have the psyop in their head that Preppers or Survivalists are nut jobs. The Media did a great job on making people look stupid, till they held their Coup, now how stupid are those two groups. They actually are the ones who were Not asleep or lulled into cotton candy land.
I can write more on Bugging In if it looks like it shall be needed.
Bugging out.
The web is full of BS sites from all those who thought it was great to just become web salesmen for the companies that wanted their goods sold. They did well, but most the time the info was rubbish as was the purchased results. This is why we will give “Suggestions” and not brand names or any sort of sales pitch, we do not have the smarts for all that, and it is to late to get on that wagon anyway.
Noone talks about “what If” but if they do it involves moving people, and supplies from one spot to another, hopefully in safety.
SHTF city - If your still stuck in a city then you best know how to walk and crawl out of it into the suburbs and beyond. As mentioned I will write about this is asked.
SHTF - Urban - Same as above, but you got to know that if you think you are going to hop into that beast and drive out to your Bugout location then you best learn that two things shall be in play. The Tornado Effect and the Greed Effect.
Whenever you see the Weather centre say get the heck out of dodge (think florida) you have the roads going one way, you have things planned out on where you are heading and etc.
Now think Armed groups and individuals, and the gangs and groups that run the inner suburbs, so insert key and your away. No, though you may get to the first street corner when you turn onto the highway or any sort of arterial roadway you are going to meet a few things.
Everyone else trying to do the same, Many do not have a 1/4 a tank of gas or food etc so they block the roads to get these things form those who come upon them, And the “Authorities” name them what you like that shall and have practised blockade tactics to hold all those within an area in that area.
So unless your in a concrete and steel fortress, you are going to have to either get most your stuff out into your Safe Location and then use a combination of these four items. Motorbike, 4x4 ATV, Bicycle, and your own two feet.
For those who have a big dozer type setup with ballistic coverings, your going to be ok till you hit the roads, sorry, logical not hollywood.
If it takes gas to run it you have a finite ability to carry what you need unless using a trailer as well as your supplies. For a Bicycle and feet you carry what you can.
Now a help on that matter, because you SHALL become wise to the facts that becoming a transient is infact what you shall become. Tough luck, the Unicorn Bus services do not run during any form of lawless scenario.
Needs, 5 speed TRAIL Bicycle with FAT no-flat tyres. you need extras like spokes and tyres (in case) and cables (speed changes)
Needs, a Trailer for the Bicycle, dual purpose (you got to carry food, shelter BOB and etc. etc.
A trailer is not dumb, nor is it stupid, if you think so then why do you see all the displaced in all the news footages showing people dragging old trailers, carts, anything they can get that rolls and carry weight.
The Bike Breaks or is Damaged - Here is one, NO, it is Not the best, it is Not what we are saving for (we have two different ones) The pic is for Walking out.
Told you walking shall be on the list - Try carrying an over weight pack and armament when you are unfit, cannot carry weight, are too young to carry body weight, etc. So how do you do it.
Use a trailer to carry your gear as you walk, make SURE it has a Fast Release harness so if engaged you are going to be able to drop the trailer and be active in a heartbeat, and not just trying to run to cover with a 60lbs pack and kids and etc. all in the same boat, slow, falling over and easy non dodging targets.
Yes it did mention up the top of this page about reality.
That is a personal trailer, again, not good, nor the best but now you get the idea at least.
I have more info, but so do many more on here, and to be sure they have more insight into this than My family and I do, but if we did not share, then everyone would be rushing out to buy metal that cannot be eaten, or paper that is worthless as soon as it is changed to something else.
Love you All, learn to barter!!!
Blessings.
a better bug out transport
Don’t lol, this guy and family make it look playful, but in reality think of why he is doing what he is doing in his other camping and project videos as well.

And yes it is real.

This. Having spent a little time in the proximity of a homeless camp, I’ve seen things reduced to basics. The ability to transport your stuff, good flashlights, solar chargers for phones...
