Honda CR-V stands for Combat Reconnaissance Vehicle

@ando633 Lol good one.

[nolideleon2010]

this is a nice idea, just buy an extra computer chip or what ever fuse or chip that may fry in an emp, i think there are lots of surplus of it, then put it inside a home made emp case, then your good to go after the emp threat,

i think a 3" lift and an aggressive mud tire maybe just a little bit bigger than stock, to make it still fuel efficient, then some custom alum skid plate under critical areas, its will be a nice bov,--good video btw- keep em coming

@nolideleon2010 Thanks for watching.I actually ended up buying a 1997 Toyota RAV4 AWD.

Couldn't help but laugh that your neighborhood is like a ready pull-a-part for supplies for your bug out vehicle when the time comes :) just sheer the sheep I guess... "Hey buddy, I need a water pump,you don't mind do ya..."

@wb5mgr lol, of course I am mentioning it as if everyone has left town or died of unpreparedness or the vehicles are damaged and abandoned but still have useful parts. I wouldt arbitrarily just go taking parts if it were just a week of power outages or natural disaster. Im talking more of a collapse of government, civil war, etc etc. Something major. If possible I would ask to buy or barter for parts. I sure dont want to get shot lol.

@shoota941 I dont doubt it one bit. I think you missed the point. With this little car you can drive it 5 days a week (reliably) and cheaply compared to your Ford sitting on 38's. And as you can see in the video, it can go more places than most people think. I would rather have an F150 or F250 diesel with big tires and a lift if SHTF but I also need to live my daily life and not go broke.

i did same with my 2000 dodge caravan made it a bug out vehicle. first started using it a tail gate party vehicle then modified it and it now has off road capabilities.

when that vetec kicks in in goes fast lol im getting one

I really like the concept of this video since a CRV is a perfect daily and still capable offroad. one thing most people neglect is gas mileage. when SHTF, we all know that gas becomes unavailable and its useless to have a huge truck if you have no gas. Not to mention, diesel is even more rare (remember hearing this from katrina).

anyways, im not getting a crv but hopefully a jeep patriot trail rated. very capable off road and very fuel efficient. like the looks more than the crv too lol.

Awesome BOV! I have a 99 CRV and was thinking about this or if I needed to get something different. Stop by prepperlog com forum and share your ideas about BOVs if you want?
