Great article! As an experienced prepper, I appreciate how comprehensive your guide is in detailing the various aspects of bug-out situations and vehicle choices.
I'd like to add my two cents on choosing a bug-out vehicle. As a sailor and owner of a 40-foot sloop, I believe a watercraft can also serve as an effective bug-out vehicle. In certain scenarios, taking to the water can be a viable option, especially when land routes are compromised or overly congested. A well-equipped boat can carry ample supplies, is self-sufficient, and can navigate varied water bodies, making it a practical option for certain geographical locations.
I'd also recommend preppers to factor in the maintenance aspect of their bug-out vehicles. My experience maintaining my vessel has taught me that a well-maintained vehicle not only ensures reliability in emergency situations, but also instills a sense of confidence and readiness.
Finally, the point about not panicking and not waiting too long to evacuate is crucial. In my years of prepping, I've found that a cool head and decisive action are two of the most valuable assets in any emergency situation.
Thanks for the informative read. I'm sure many will benefit from this guide!
