I have a Ural sidecar motorcycle with 2WD. I've thought about what would be my better option, the bike or the Subaru. The car would also provide shelter, but the bike is much better on gas, more rugged and can go basically anywhere. However, the bike can only carry about a 1/4 of what the car can carry.
They make motorcycle carriers that slide in the receiver hitch of a full size truck so you could carry a bike like this without taking up your cargo space and without towing a trailer. These carriers either tilt or use a ramp for quick unloading of your "dingy" bug out vehicle.
Hey Mr. Roadwarrior. Can you please give me the name, model of that sight on the underfolder?? I may be in the market for an underfolder and like the look of that small optic. Thanks-
Awesome vid and info. ! Thank you for posting this video roadwarrior. Soo many people overlook the motorbike option for bugout situations as well as other disaster situations that could arise
No offence guys but the likelihood of you being attacked by an EMP bomb is slim to non-existent, isn't it? Surely there are other, more important things in life to prep for.
cool video. I had a 2001 KLR and loved it. I did several long trips on it where I camped out each night wherever I could. Along side train tracks was usually where I would end up. It is very difficult shooting a pistol while riding especially if you need to be riding aggressively. Practice shifting without the clutch and have a holster or tank bag that you can quickly stash the pistol in when both hands are needed. Also that is an awesome knife!
i have 1998 KLR 650 and like others said its great for rapid extraction form hot zones.Due to his low end torque, big fuel tank and decent milleage it can begreat means of transport. I've upgraded mine with small HHO drycell,so mileage varries from 65-78MPG(depends on loadout and type of terrain).its cheap addon and quite valuable too. One question though: i've been using small tent for most of my camping(transit sleeping), but im thinking if hammock wouldnt be better;
well that depends on waht you percieve as armageddon.For me(and prolly roadwarior too) armageddon could be economic colapse, mini ice age(has happened in last 200 years at least once),civil unreast due to shortage of food or sky high oil prices... he's doing what he assume it will be best for him, its your decision if you belive him or not.but given current situation i would be storing food and water too if I were you.And obtain good bug out vehicle too, if it becomes too hot.
Why not make a couple of racks on each side to hold two military gas cans. Use the fuel out of them evenly to maintain balance. You can also get a tank bag and a small bag for the rear seat/fender area and front forks below the headlight.
Great job man! Glad to see others with the dual-sport B.O.V. idea. I went with a DR650SE and I regret not getting a KLR (nearly twice as big of a tank). I'll def be looking for a 2008 KLR when I get back to the mainland. Want to figure out how to adjust the suspension & racks to see if I can get my girl on the back as well as the B.O.B.'s. Thanks again for the vid!
I bought the same bike make and model from MFI in Woodbridge, VA. They installed black out switches too. Flip the switches, and all of your lights turn off. It's just something to consider and only cost around $150 to have it professionally done. They also put in a DC power outlet for running accessories (in my case I wanted it for a HF radio).
@Darealwhip I'm not a fan of trailers. If you cannot carry it on you or in your vehicle, it's going to end up getting lost, damaged, or stolen. People go out and buy trailers and make great little YT videos about them, but no one has shown someone actually bugging out with one in bad weather (unless it is one of those extreme survivial Aussie trailers which cost 40K of course) haha
one suggestion for your bug out bike, I made heavy clothe "socks" with elastic tops that cover the brake light and all the side markers/turn signals. I can hide these shiny things in under 10 seconds, but i am still trying to figure out how to cover the headlamp though, without permanently damaging it
@Rocky1765 maybe velcro a custom cut IR shield over the headlamp so you can ride fast at night with night vision goggles? Just thinking outside the box like the SurvivalThinkTank charter dictates!
@theroadwarri0r How about the Harley Davidson MT350, it's a British army bike (and quite possibly the only good bike that HD ever made) It;s rugged, has front panniers and a case for an SA80 on the back, along with a rack and the option for rear panniers. It also has a convoy black out switch which will disable all none essential electronics. The alternator is also quite big for the bike so extra power can be tapped off with very little effort.
You can do an active IR nightvision on a bike for fairly cheap.
Put a small 12v 7 inch LCD television between your handle bars, get 12v security cameras and IR illuminators, just make use they don't have anty anti ir fliter on the camera lens.
nice idea, but i guess you would be limited to quite low speed traveling that way.its waay too unsafe to drive motorbike at night without looking forward. Still better than nothing.i dig the idea :D.
@Rocky1765 its called a light diffuser they used to use them in world war one. their covers you put over your headlamp i have one and made it myself with some cardboard
You didn't mention one of the most important items a bug out bike needs...a pair of heavy duty cutters capable of clipping barbed wire and chain link fencing. If you can afford the weight mini bolt cutters would be better. I'd avoid any major roadway. When cars start running out of fuel people will start to realize the position they're in and it won't be safe within a half mile of any crowded road. Go cross country as soon as possible. Weather permitting of course. Have multiple routes & plans.
Awesome Video! As someone who used to ride a Ninja back in the day, i can assure you...YOU WILL go down at some point and it's best to have those crash bars installed to help save your bike. Were the ones on your bike all aftermarket or custom built? Looking forward to your next videos!
Great vid. Your choice of bike is about perfect for your purpose. I have thought about this traffic jam scanario myself as I have seen it here in Houston. Hurricane's or once even the threat of a hurricane along with media and gov. hype and histeria and all major roads out of Houston were gridlocked for days. I didn't leave my northwest Harris co home but to run errands. Split lanes on my Harley and in this instance people seemed to understand. Not ideal if I had to offroad...
You need a good pair of bolt cutters to cut locks, chains, and fence wire just encase you have to go off road. Do you have a better way to get through fences?
@theroadwarri0r hey could you use the same concept from my last comment (like 3 comments back) to store extra fuel without it getting in the way? Seems logical.. please tell me what you think
I know you can't carry everything on a bike but if you could find room for a cammo tarp it could be used to hide the bike at night as well as a rain tarp for dry sleeping.
Quick idea: put a high-capacity (.22 probably) rifle (ex-10/22 with 50-round mag) in an elongated side cage for suppressive fire in case you need it on the road and then bring it out once you reach your bug-out location and use it as a survival rifle. In the cage, it would be well-protected from damage (especially if you made a brace for it), and if you could figure out how to design it right, you could easily stick your hand in there while driving in order to pop off a couple of shots.
I saw a question about EMP. There is a old documentary on the construction of NORAD. They welded metal plate over the underground structure, in a kind of upside down boat. This was done to cancel out EMP waves. Also only microchips that have electric current going through them get fried, they often power them down when there where planned EMP waves. So.. this may be useful info when thinking about EMP survival.
I dunno man.... people hate on lane splitters even when they're not whacked out of their mind. Had a buddy that I always called Robo-Face kuz his orbital and jaw was mostly plastic... Well, someone opened up a door on him. I grew up around bikes and my family owned a import/performance shop in SF.... but I never did much riding because EVERYONE ELSE.. seen too many injuries known too many who died. Good thinking but BE CAREFUL OUT THERE MAN. They will try to take yor life- guage your response.
Very good and thought out plan. I don't know if you have done this in your plan but i would think it would be a good a idea to significantly underestimate your gas mileage. In a chaotic bug out situation, traffic will not be moving very fast, maybe even at a standstill. Yes a bike can go around stalled traffic, but at a much reduced speed and fuel mileage will suffer. Closed roads, bridges, and possible backtracking may occur.
thanks for taking the time to do these videos. a lot of good info. it's only a matter of time until something goes down. more and more signs all the time.
Have you given any thoughts or seen any videos about bug out or use of a 4 wheeler in an economic collapse? This is the closest video i've seen related to the use of something like this thank you for posting it.

@bbyersonthesax Have you read Halffast's story Lost & Found? You can find the first 26 chapters @ arfcom. He describes using a quad as a BOV quite admirably.
Koraynovich ARMS AK-47. Have you heard of it there is a YouTube video under the same name sold by Atlantic Firearms.( Russian RAK AK47 Rifle Red Classic ON SALE) Apparently its a converted Saiga. Good? Bad? I'm in the market for a AK-47 and the guy in the video says its on par if not better then a Arsenal. Im a DPMS AR-15 owner so I'm not new to the gun world. One last question it would be my first AK, so under folder or solid stock.
Freaking awesome Roadwarrior. I have been thinking of the same setup, bugging out on a bike as a last ditch effort. I'd rather bug out in my truck if I am lucky to have enough foresight to be the general masses, but a bike as backup just in case. That and I always wanted a dirt bike. Great points in your vid as always. I like that radio you got there, those are sweet. I like the extra fuel idea, I was thinking more like 2-3 gallon can instead. Smaller and lighter, just my take on it.
Good video.My bugout bag video has to do with getting home through the kaos and what you need. Fuck the sheeple who do not believe that the shit will hit the fan. They will be the hungry ones shot in front yards trying to get in for food. Take care and keep up the good work.
Great video, this can also be modded to a bicycle easily. Shelter should be added to pad/bag set too. Having a gore-tex bivy bag and/or a silnylon tarp adds next to nothing to weight but huge wealth in environmental support. FWIW, with my bike fully loaded, I lost about 10 MPG on my last BugOut test.
This is exactly what the roads looked like for Rita. People died just waiting, No gas either. Next was Ike for us. People stayed home. The outcome was better. Some learned how to get along low tech. Neighbors helped neighbors. Some guy on a bike would take the place of TV for amusement.
Thanks roadwarrior. Great onfo, my only problem is I have a wife, two kids, one mother inlaw, and my mother. That would make for a pretty loaded bike. But if we had to get out the gear you were showing would come in handy.
-- Great info as always sir! --- BTW...Do you have a presence on FaceBook? There seems to be a growing community of "like minded" folks there. We are --FaceBook(dot)com /AppachianFreedom
Dude! Best video of the decade! If I didn't already have most of that stuff (or similar), I would be out shopping. Ruff up that gas can with a sander and it will hold the paint longer. I'm wondering how I can mount bolt cutters, as I have scouted a few fire and powerline roads as emergency egress routes.
nice option, I think it is a good move, I think a secluded island like the end of the remake of dawn of the dead is a solid plan, this bike may be needed to get to the dock though. Great video roadwarrior, I dont think we have long to wait now, next 3 months or so...... the road warrior index will be in the red for sure. All the best.
i have an old tractor that has points instead of electronic ignition...im thinking a wagon and old tractor may be a good thing....i dont plan on heading into a city..im fortunate to be in a very rural area....i also have caves located and simistocked with weapons and food...all will require hiking in none are close to transportation routes.
I keep sayin' it's about the motorcycles. Someone here on the 'Tube got a cruiser Silverwing used for about $1200, it looked more than adequate and had enough space to strap your pack in the back + some compartments. You won't be able to squeeze through some of the smaller places, but you can probably carry more. I dunno how it'd perform off-road, but a motorcycle bug-out is appealing to me for many reasons. I just need the dough to get started.
Thanks RW... been stocking up on the three BBB for awhile now..Again thanks for the vid. even if its not for everybody it keeps the mind thinking about what if.
One thing I would worry about is the possibility of someone trying to take the bike as you weave around the traffic. So maybe you might want to have a small pistol handy like a CZ-82 strapped to the side of gas tank? Just a thought.
Great video! I concur with everything you've said. However, I do have one question. In your mind, is something like an EMP worth preparing for, or are you focused on the economic cause alone? In other words, if an EMP were used against the United States effectively, does that completely fry and make your system irrelevant? I know a guy who's done the same thing you have, but he's purchased a '78 Honda, which apparently is impervious to an EMP device. Does that make sense for you or no?
@veritasfiles Sure, EMP is a real threat. My bike is not fuel injected. Has a carburetor. All the instruments are analog also. In order for EMP to be a threat you must be line of sight to the EMP device. I don't live in a likely line of sight area unless we see a high altitude air burst. It's a threat but the nuke or other EMP device must be line of sight for it to be a factor for you.
@theroadwarri0r The carburetor won't be affected like a F/I bike would be, thats right. But your ignition system would probably cut out because most bikes after 1978 have C.D.I. ignition which relies on solid state circuitry. All I do is dual sport and off road for years. If you ever need any info , I could almost guarantee you that I can help with a decent answer. BTW, I like the bike, its reliable and has a large tank. But that one is the BEAST of the Jap dualsport world. 75% street/25% dirt
@theroadwarri0r We may experience a solar event that could produce EMP effects. The chances of one strong enough to knock out vehicles is small, but its possible and would be the end of modern civilization. Then you just gotta get yourself a four legged bug out vehicle.
@theroadwarri0r The worry is an EMP set off at 300 miles above the earth. Pretty much everything would be in line of sight. Whether or not it will happen is anyone's guess though. Glad you're thinking about it at any rate.
@veritasfiles Odds are if an EMP hit North America 80% of the population would die before the third year. If you do some extensive research on all of the effects of an EMP. Pretty much everything with a circuit board would be fried. Though a naturally aspirated diesel engine would still run. Good to know that diesel has a much longer shelf life compared to gasoline when stabilized.
@veritasfiles A thick roof could be enough protection for the bikes as for the othe small electronics like radios and gps a good idea is to store them on a microwave oven any brand and doesnt have to be new or in working order all u need is the microwave oven metal box .
Good to see you back again RoadW0rrior! I have a wife and dog otherwise this would be ideal. I will have to rely on early warning signals and leave early. Unless there is some sort of "attack" and I can not for see it. This bile looks rock solid though. I bet you will have no problem getting around.
Great info and sounds like a solid plan, but you may want to rethink how you are going to camo the gas cans. Spray paint usually doesn't work (I've tried), as even the paint made for plastic will peel off. I was also told the gas (very very slowly) permeates through the plastic and will bubble the paint up, and then it flakes off. I think the best option is some sort of cover for the tank...maybe even with some molle on it :)
nice tips. Recently bought a TT600 for the same reason. Makes good sense to me, cheap fast and goes anywhere. One thing I found you also need when your going cross country are wire cutters for all the fences, and a small gerry can
My state outlaws mags greater than 10 rounds. They think they're so smart, well guess what I went out and bought 4 of the same gun to overcome this BS.
It would appear that bugging out on a cycle isn't very different from bugging out on foot as far as the gear you would plan on taking (except maybe gas). Glad you stressed the point about only bugging out to get to a secure location (already stocked). Also, you seem able to leave in under 15 minutes, which is key in an evacuation situation. Of course your fallback option to the cycle is walking, so make sure you also pack boots, extra socks, and foot powder.
ridden bikes my whole life have a stunt bike now !! my ideas 1. head and tail lights rewire to a toggle (with a fuse) 2. gorilla tape for all reflectors 3. bright green safety vest 4. front fender rack 5. atv handle bar gun racks will fit dirtbikes !! i'm a lefty ftw !!
god stuff as always, bikes are great when you dont have family or pets. Check out the expeditionportal (dot) com , bug out vehicle are very much like expedition rigs, they have great stuff for adventure bikes
Good video, only thing is you're not really using the word "redundancy" properly. Redundant systems would be having backup systems that do similar functions to the primary system. For example, having a knife with a serrated edge and a wire saw would be redundant, because if one breaks you can still saw. Similarly, having multiple flashlights would be redundancy. You're talking about multiple-uses per item (per pound, in fact) which is a great point, but not redundancy per se.
@silvermediastudio I'll add one other comment.. depending on where you intend to go, if hunting small game is part of your survival plan, bring some kind of .22LR weapon should be on the list. Either an accurate pistol (such as the Ruger MkIII Hunter) or a scout/survival rifle like the Papoose which breaks down and is very easy to pack. Five hundred rounds of .22 are light, take up less than a quarter of a cubic foot, and will feed you and friends/family for weeks. Can also be used in trade.
As long as they dont jump out their car and swamp your bike need to mount that AK on the bars that can be fired with out stopping that will require thought throttle RHS can you shoot LHS.Can you listen to the radio with your helmet on? So what is your range with that bike fully loaded?What about bolt cutters chained road way? How you gonna survive folks that think like me with razor wire across the road way waiting for a free AK with lots of other goodies. My investment $3 wire cutters.
great vid.by the way check out mossbergs new ar style 22lr. # 37202 . a aircraft cectional map from a local airport. it shows rail .rivers creeks, towers,many things not on road maps
@mlong5151 +1 on the sectional maps. -1 on the Mossberg AR wannabe. Its based on their 702, with unnecessary weight and size bolted on, no collapsible stock. Youd be better off just sticking with the 702 or a 10/22, etc. If you are going to carry an AR, carry a real AR, in either 5.56 or 308, etc. For motorcycles I'd agree that the AK is the better choice. An AR pistol would be pretty sweet though.
@mlong5151 It has the same basic shape, nothing more. Different: safety, mag release, bolt catch/release, magazine, and the charging handle is non-functional. The Mossberg is inexpensive, something like $210... but if you want something similar to a AR you'll have to go with a S&W 15-22 or maybe the Colt version, which also lacks full AR functions. Better yet go with a dedicated .22 LR upper or a CMMG or other conversion bolt. Sorry man, thats just the way it is...
YOU KNOW WHAT...you assholes talk about buggin out but the economy isnt collapsing...we have regional economic malaise . i just went yo the outlet stores and got stuck in a half mile long line to park my car which tells me alot . enough with the economic collapse already
@PREPAREORSUFFER blow it out your ass. You've been shitting on my channel in the comments section for too long. Go dump on someone else's channel, no one wants you here anyway.
@theroadwarri0r I tend to agree with PREPAREORSUFFER in the economic spectrum, but as his own name suggests, there is value in being prepared. We may disagree on whether or not the Titanic is sinking, but at least you have a boat, roadwarri0r. And you're telling others how to make their own boat. I honor you for that. Keep doing what you're doing.
@theroadwarri0r Yeah but he ain't entirely wrong. Things really are not as bad as some would say you should believe. Alex Jones for example does make a lot of money off fearing people into buying gold.
If the economy is going to collapse, most of us will be to old or dead by then. And the possibility of a societal collapse is still highly unlikely.
I'm not worrying about it anymore. There's no point. There are more important things to worry about.
@PREPAREORSUFFER WTF is wrong with you. Why are you watching and why make that handle. Nothin more than a low life troll. Get real, get bent and get a life loser.
@PREPAREORSUFFER Well, prepareorsuffer, your name should have said it all right? You should be up to date on what's going on in the economy and how easily it will be for it to fall, but yet here you are talking shit. Look, the economy may not collapse, on the other hand, if they put this new stimulus bill into action, we are going to go into a short term hyper-deflation to be followed by a perhaps long term hyper-inflation where it very well may cost you 10 dollars for a loaf of bread.
@PREPAREORSUFFER You know you have to physically use your mouse or keyboard to conscientously select the videos you want to see on Youtube. Now if you've had enough of these type of forums and have nothing to contribute. Why don't you quit being an idiot and institute some self-control and not click on these videos. No one wants to read your ignorant comments. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ROADWARRIOR. BZ
In a real SHTF scenario it will be like GTA... grab whatever the fuk you can get your hands on and go... when you get jammed up, jump into something else.
Nice bike - I take it you don't have a family... :)
The police won't be everywhere. I honestly think you'd have higher odds of being ambushed by a civilian than the police if the stuff really hits the fan!
you might want be able to hang two five gallon cans of fuel on the panniers, with ten extra gallons you'd have about a thousand miles of range, augmenting with a full tank. also rig up TWO End to end glass packs, the exhaust note will be VERY low. also point them STRAIGHT UP, and rig it up accordingly the noise level will SURPRISINGLY quiet. and the thumping blat of a big single bike is VERY VERY pronounced and attenuated, if you dont knock down the noise.
how about motor scooter bug out? i have had the thing since i was a kid and it still runs like a dream. i will put that idea in the back of my dooms day folder.
@theroadwarri0r If you really want to survive then buy a surplus hummve, use all your savings and buy a minigun with 5,000 rounds! lol, not really but its one way of doing business...
It sounds fun in a MadMax kind of way but leaves you extremely vulnerable to the elements, other vehicles, etc and does not allow you to take much gear and any other friends/family members. I think 4x4 pick up truck or a large 4x4 SUV loaded with food, water, medical supplies, spare fuel, lots of ammunition, spare tire(s) and other supplies would always be my first choice. Fun topic though! Its good to be prepared, any plan is always better than no plan at all!
I have a Ural sidecar motorcycle with 2WD. I've thought about what would be my better option, the bike or the Subaru. The car would also provide shelter, but the bike is much better on gas, more rugged and can go basically anywhere. However, the bike can only carry about a 1/4 of what the car can carry.

Put a small 12v 7 inch LCD television between your handle bars, get 12v security cameras and IR illuminators, just make use they don't have anty anti ir fliter on the camera lens.

You didn't mention one of the most important items a bug out bike needs...a pair of heavy duty cutters capable of clipping barbed wire and chain link fencing. If you can afford the weight mini bolt cutters would be better. I'd avoid any major roadway. When cars start running out of fuel people will start to realize the position they're in and it won't be safe within a half mile of any crowded road. Go cross country as soon as possible. Weather permitting of course. Have multiple routes & plans.

Great vid. Your choice of bike is about perfect for your purpose. I have thought about this traffic jam scanario myself as I have seen it here in Houston. Hurricane's or once even the threat of a hurricane along with media and gov. hype and histeria and all major roads out of Houston were gridlocked for days. I didn't leave my northwest Harris co home but to run errands. Split lanes on my Harley and in this instance people seemed to understand. Not ideal if I had to offroad...

Quick idea: put a high-capacity (.22 probably) rifle (ex-10/22 with 50-round mag) in an elongated side cage for suppressive fire in case you need it on the road and then bring it out once you reach your bug-out location and use it as a survival rifle. In the cage, it would be well-protected from damage (especially if you made a brace for it), and if you could figure out how to design it right, you could easily stick your hand in there while driving in order to pop off a couple of shots.

I saw a question about EMP. There is a old documentary on the construction of NORAD. They welded metal plate over the underground structure, in a kind of upside down boat. This was done to cancel out EMP waves. Also only microchips that have electric current going through them get fried, they often power them down when there where planned EMP waves. So.. this may be useful info when thinking about EMP survival.

MisterAvis 1 year ago
Very good and thought out plan. I don't know if you have done this in your plan but i would think it would be a good a idea to significantly underestimate your gas mileage. In a chaotic bug out situation, traffic will not be moving very fast, maybe even at a standstill. Yes a bike can go around stalled traffic, but at a much reduced speed and fuel mileage will suffer. Closed roads, bridges, and possible backtracking may occur.

Koraynovich ARMS AK-47. Have you heard of it there is a YouTube video under the same name sold by Atlantic Firearms.( Russian RAK AK47 Rifle Red Classic ON SALE) Apparently its a converted Saiga. Good? Bad? I'm in the market for a AK-47 and the guy in the video says its on par if not better then a Arsenal. Im a DPMS AR-15 owner so I'm not new to the gun world.

Freaking awesome Roadwarrior. I have been thinking of the same setup, bugging out on a bike as a last ditch effort. I'd rather bug out in my truck if I am lucky to have enough foresight to be the general masses, but a bike as backup just in case. That and I always wanted a dirt bike. Great points in your vid as always. I like that radio you got there, those are sweet. I like the extra fuel idea, I was thinking more like 2-3 gallon can instead. Smaller and lighter, just my take on it.

I keep sayin' it's about the motorcycles. Someone here on the 'Tube got a cruiser Silverwing used for about $1200, it looked more than adequate and had enough space to strap your pack in the back + some compartments. You won't be able to squeeze through some of the smaller places, but you can probably carry more. I dunno how it'd perform off-road, but a motorcycle bug-out is appealing to me for many reasons. I just need the dough to get started.

Great video! I concur with everything you've said. However, I do have one question. In your mind, is something like an EMP worth preparing for, or are you focused on the economic cause alone? In other words, if an EMP were used against the United States effectively, does that completely fry and make your system irrelevant? I know a guy who's done the same thing you have, but he's purchased a '78 Honda, which apparently is impervious to an EMP device. Does that make sense for you or no?
veritasfiles 1 year ago
@veritasfiles Sure, EMP is a real threat. My bike is not fuel injected. Has a carburetor. All the instruments are analog also. In order for EMP to be a threat you must be line of sight to the EMP device. I don't live in a likely line of sight area unless we see a high altitude air burst. It's a threat but the nuke or other EMP device must be line of sight for it to be a factor for you.
theroadwarri0r 1 year ago
@theroadwarri0r The carburetor won't be affected like a F/I bike would be, thats right. But your ignition system would probably cut out because most bikes after 1978 have C.D.I. ignition which relies on solid state circuitry. All I do is dual sport and off road for years. If you ever need any info , I could almost guarantee you that I can help with a decent answer. BTW, I like the bike, its reliable and has a large tank. But that one is the BEAST of the Jap dualsport world. 75% street/25% dirt

@veritasfiles Odds are if an EMP hit North America 80% of the population would die before the third year. If you do some extensive research on all of the effects of an EMP. Pretty much everything with a circuit board would be fried. Though a naturally aspirated diesel engine would still run. Good to know that diesel has a much longer shelf life compared to gasoline when stabilized.

SurvivalWithBushcraf 1 year ago
Great info and sounds like a solid plan, but you may want to rethink how you are going to camo the gas cans. Spray paint usually doesn't work (I've tried), as even the paint made for plastic will peel off. I was also told the gas (very very slowly) permeates through the plastic and will bubble the paint up, and then it flakes off. I think the best option is some sort of cover for the tank...maybe even with some molle on it :)

It would appear that bugging out on a cycle isn't very different from bugging out on foot as far as the gear you would plan on taking (except maybe gas). Glad you stressed the point about only bugging out to get to a secure location (already stocked). Also, you seem able to leave in under 15 minutes, which is key in an evacuation situation. Of course your fallback option to the cycle is walking, so make sure you also pack boots, extra socks, and foot powder.

kingggrick 1 year ago
Good video, only thing is you're not really using the word "redundancy" properly. Redundant systems would be having backup systems that do similar functions to the primary system. For example, having a knife with a serrated edge and a wire saw would be redundant, because if one breaks you can still saw. Similarly, having multiple flashlights would be redundancy. You're talking about multiple-uses per item (per pound, in fact) which is a great point, but not redundancy per se.
silvermediastudio 1 year ago
@silvermediastudio I'll add one other comment.. depending on where you intend to go, if hunting small game is part of your survival plan, bring some kind of .22LR weapon should be on the list. Either an accurate pistol (such as the Ruger MkIII Hunter) or a scout/survival rifle like the Papoose which breaks down and is very easy to pack. Five hundred rounds of .22 are light, take up less than a quarter of a cubic foot, and will feed you and friends/family for weeks. Can also be used in trade.

Youd be better off just sticking with the 702 or a 10/22, etc. If you are going to carry an AR, carry a real AR, in either 5.56 or 308, etc. For motorcycles I'd agree that the AK is the better choice. An AR pistol would be pretty sweet though.

@mlong5151 It has the same basic shape, nothing more. Different: safety, mag release, bolt catch/release, magazine, and the charging handle is non-functional. The Mossberg is inexpensive, something like $210... but if you want something similar to a AR you'll have to go with a S&W 15-22 or maybe the Colt version, which also lacks full AR functions. Better yet go with a dedicated .22 LR upper or a CMMG or other conversion bolt. Sorry man, thats just the way it is...
