Bug Out Vehicle for Emergency Evacuation
Many families are preparing a bug out vehicle in the event of emergency evacuation.
What that looks like will vary in each case, but there are a few things that every survivalist will have in common when equipping a bug out vehicle for departure.
According to studies and reading in survivalist forums a common vehicle used as a means of evacuation is a utility sport jeep or truck with 4 wheel drive, and fully decked out for off road adventure, preferably with a lift kit for higher ground clearance, and big tires.
Since these all terrain vehicles tend to be less efficient on fuel, you will want the ability to carry extra fuel.
With baggage racks on top and space to carry passengers and pets, these bug out vehicles are guaranteed to take you where the normal cars won't be able to go.
The other important thing is to have a portable solar system or some form of alternative energy.

Regardless what you put into your bug out vehicle... the important thing is that you LEAVE IT IN THERE!
Don't use it , thinking you will replace it before a calamity hits. It's not worth it!
Me, Personally... I think a Pack Horse is Better!
If you are a single person, or even if there are two people, having a couple pack horses or mules is the best bug our vehicle you will ever have.
Here are just several reasons...
Horses can go where even trucks can't...you can cross very rocky terrain, swim across rivers, slip thru the woods with a horse or mule.
Horses do not use fuel... not gasoline anyways! They DO have to eat so carrying a bag of grain is a must if you use a pack horse.
People have used horses for transportation for years before the car was ever invented...and are capable of carrying a lot of weight without overburdening them.
So yes, I do believe a pack horse is the very best Bug Out Vehicle there is!
