ULTIMATE BUG OUT VEHICLE "THE FOUNDATION"

Time to start the BUG OUT VEHICLE VIDEO SERIES.
A little over a month ago we asked if there was interest in doing a series on setting up a bug-out vehicle. So today is the first video of the series. We are currently rigging out the BattlBox 6X6 Jeep to be added to the series.
But what about the average everyday driver. Here is the first Vidja of an Everyday driver vehicle Bug Out Build.
You first need to think of a solid foundation for your build. Storage is a premium. These products Currin1776 selected as his foundation. If you have a pickup you're gonna want to check these products out.
We hope you enjoy the Vidja and we hope you continue to follow along with this build and be on the lookout for the 6X6 video. Its gonna be Awesome!
If you want to see a quick install and first impressions of each of these systems, there will be Vidjas on the CURRIN1776 KZbin Channel soon.

[@berryavery8297]

I love this build! The only thing I would want to change is the truck color- that red sticks out like a sore thumb in the woods or any other place for that matter. I would wrap that truck in matte black it would be good to go! Other than the color, I would be happy to have that vehicle!!

[@Staff2-fk7sv]

Always keep some spray paints,GR ,tan brown, G2G 👌

[@michaelumina5815]

Great ideas, well thought out! I want one now! All that's missing is a small trailer with big wheels and ground clearance to carry other things, or a teardrop one to sleep in. I'd add a small dirt bike so when the truck breaks down you can ride to get help or parts etc., or explore on a small amount of gas.

[@richerich853]

Yeah bright Red wouldn't be my first choice. But ya gotta use what you have, not everyone can just go buy a new truck. Good video.

[@tylerphelps4868]

I would argue it’s a great overlander bug-out…. After the EMP it’s not bugging out of anything. Need a carb and points for but-out

[@dgracias12]

I'm late to this bbq, but better late than never to comment.😁 I live in NJ and what I have done is, carry a bug out pack in each of my vehicles. Depending on the season, I pack accordingly. Plenty of water, non perishable nutritional snacks, tourniquet, IFAK, and cash. Backpack weighs 20 lb if I need to walk. Jumper cables, flares, flashlight, empty 5 gal. gas can, wool blanket, socks, clothing, stay in a sealed bag/container in the vehicle. You get my point. Great content btw. 👍

[@gagetman69jeffhebert32]

iv'e read alot of the comments, and to me this is exactly what i have been looking for. I imagine it costs alot. But I love having my tools and gear with me because i like to go on trips or just get away at the spur of the moment. as it is now i have an extended cab, and ive lost part of that room do to keeping bug out stuff there and i have bed box in the back filled to the gills . For me this setup would be awesome. Thx for sharing looking forward to more videos

[@Dies1r4e]

10,000 dollars roughly

[@jerryrichards8172]

That's nice a latter for both sides so one person dosen't have to climb over the other in the middle of the 🌙

[@blah646]

I guess the number one question, “ did it keep the bugs out?”

[@TheSinaloaCartel]

blah Ha Ha

[@WindWolfAlpha]

And... "What kinda bugs? Skeeters, sweat flies, hornets?" Lol

[@dvig3261]

Aww....I see what you did there😏👉

[@lobopropredatorcontrol]

Just bought this same pickup, I know I'm buying the decked system but am undecided if I'm putting a canopy or rack system. I liked this setup thanks for sharing! From a SeaBee

[@michaeldriggers7681]

My everyday vehicle/bug out vehicle is named Bessy the Suburban, she's big on the inside and outside, she's reliable, she's 4wd, and she's got a 36 gallon tank.

[@wesman7837]

Man I really miss my Suburban it had the 55 gallon fuel tank, and I could get damn near 700 miles on a tank, well I bet I could have gotten the full 700 miles if I wasn't such a lead foot, and riding the governor everywhere I went.

[@bloodiedberserker7574]

Just bought a burban to build into a capable family bugput truck.

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

I’ve been shopping for a 2500 ‘burb to build into a platform as well. They’re getting hard to find. Duramax swaps out there too! ;)

[@321southtube]

Big red truck and a loud engine with lights, reflectors and chrome. More like Tactifool. 👍 "Real nice, Clark"

[@B_A_Images]

The bottle opener and cup holders sold me on the decked system

[@Ibiron]

Well played Bro, Thank you for your video you're much appreciated. Better safe than sorry. You covered the 6 "Ps" as I learned in The US Army. Proper planning prevents piss poor performance ! Your rock solid.

[@hyenapeacekeeper2220]

Can't say I'm too much of a truck guy, more about building small fast cars, but I'd love to have a set up like Reba. Very nice!

[@daveunderwood6498]

Bugging out with Rebba would be awesome. The truck would be alright to, I guess. 🙂

[@blackriflemensorganization6139]

Nice rig. My F350 is named Matilda, we call her Tilly for short. She's been a great truck and has taken me coast to coast while towing a 29 foot trailer.

[@anthonynicholson5523]

Whoa...my parents had a 1969 Ford station wagon with the exact same name and nickname.

[@oonicello]

FYI...those big bulky tents you see are for families. The large ones cans sleep up to 6 with a vestibule. Great video. You’re on the right track.

[@bacon81]

Great setup. I only thing I would change was the color

[@matthewenglund3502]

Dude, one of the best adventure vehicle walkarounds Ive seen! Greatly aporeciate that you took the time to open things up and share the details. Great video and your truck is looking great!

[@wesman7837]

Hell yeah that rooftop tent is badass, but I'm paralyzed so it wouldn't do me much good but it's super cool! That whole rack system is really cool!

[@jerryrichards8172]

Insulation on roof really good idea

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

Good video. Reba is well thought out. Betty White (my ‘16 Silverado) is set up with an ARE CX HD camper shell which has the internal aluminum frame and can carry #500lb on the roof as my platform. I have the toolboxes and solid doors on each side which act like the XL gear pod you’re showing here. King shocks, 35” bfgs, 14 gallon fuel cells (harbor freight), tools and such round out the baseline that I roll with. Don’t forget a gmrs and ham radio in the cab ;) Always liked the Leitner design stuff and haven’t seen a video that puts the features to function like this. Good work.

[@chirogirl67550]

You did a good job showing this product…Brilliant!

[@Rakaben]

Ooh the color? easy to target from miles away!

[@AA-gj3kt]

76 Blazer. Takes a lickin and keeps on tickin! We call it the "Thrash Machine".

[@d.j.9961]

Nice! I've always thought that I was a bit extreme carrying all the tools that I carry but, I hate being broke down!!! Your rig blows my daily out the water but, my car is not a bug out vehicle but, my daily. I keep a Complete tool set & many things to keep a vehicle running from air compressor, tools, jacks, stands, jumper cables, & much more but, Nothing like this!!! I need a truck!!!!!!

[@Jesuslovesamericans]

Bought a 98 Ranger brand new back in 98. After 22 years of being my work horse, it's getting a make over with: 3" lift, 33s with steel rims sporting 12.50 wide mudders, 1/2 ton Kargo Master holding 4 5 gal jerry cans, a 3x5 basket, and some recovery gear, a hitchgate for my spare, a steel big ass bumper holding my winch and light bar, and some back up lights bright enough to scare Bigfoot. A spray on bed liner with plywood mini cabinets holding a bed to sleep my 100# wife and me will keep us dry under my canopy. Added some small solar panels to power my Yeti to have some light when needed. If I pull my 5x8 cargo trailer, I can fill it with more necessities like ammo and food.

[@tburrows357]

I really suggest the Westin HDX grille guard. With or without the winch mount. It’s a cheaper alternative to a a full steel bumper. It’s bolt and is rugged and all welded one piece and not bolted together. Solid and you can get the westin hdx bolt on light bars in 6 or 10 inch pairs. looks bad ass . Yea has!

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

Good suggestion. I don’t like the full bumpers as most of them look like bubba gumps lower lip😂 and don’t. Protect the grille & factory lights. How has the Westin held up for you? I need a bumper & grille guard as I’m tired of feeding the front end of my truck whitetail deer as I drive through Appalachia.

[@rickkephartactual7706]

I'm impressed. Very well laid out and planned.

[@PotatoWhyKid]

That ‘Foundation’ you were talking bout is amazing! I didn’t even know half this shit existed. Looks like you put a lot if thought into it. Great Job 👍🏼

[@alyxchristophe4385]

Really nice set-up Brandon. Thank you for doing the research for us.

[@jasonl3185]

A GOOD WATCH THANK YOU!

[@Battlbox]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jayc3051]

I appreciate your insight of the gears and I will be checking those companies out. I was looking for a bug out equipment I can put into my truck and the way yours is made gave me a great idea thanks and I will be checking those manufacturers.

[@ShieldArc200]

Have fun trying to start it.

[@edtaylor6431]

Very good video. I’m all about being ready to bug out! I would love to build a group of trustworthy like minded people to be able to have a off grid location that nobody else would ever know about.

[@corysatterfield7570]

Your gonna need that truck soon

[@MAGABeard]

Brother, I grew up in Georgia Deep in the Heart of Dixie. I set up my mid-2000's Suburban K1500 - 6.0 L Vortex 1/2 ton 4WD TOW package : electronic transmission (rear pew seat removed) Mid bucket seats fold down for 8' X 4' sleep/storage Pewter outfitted w 15: mag rims

[@Blackwolffe097]

We placed a small 5 gallon propane tank & a fire extinguisher on each side of the passenger side gear box

[@paulhare662]

I had a 1971 Deuce and a Half, multi fuel that was cool to play with and all kinds of manly but my 1991 Ford Festiva will be my bug out vehicle.

[@321southtube]

The thumbnail shows how stealthily a huge cherry red truck can blend into its surroundings......Tacticool!!

[@Staff2-fk7sv]

Camo Spray paint 4 that time ,Come on bro

[@jasonjoseph3975]

The ultimate vehicle in my humble opinion is a pre ECU diesel! Fuel is fairly easy to make or come bye and then theirs always a gasifier which I have friends who've built and driven vehicles using this technique 1600 miles and they've passed on their knowledge to me & my associates

[@morganml3983]

When you said "black is slimming", I almost choke on my four loko!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@Staff2-fk7sv]

4 LOKOOO 👌 Definitely one in bag ;)

[@24Alisonall]

Hi and thank you for sharing your bug out truck, Reba! Good ideas for having the things to help keep you safe, warm and alive in a bad situation. Or just a fun situation you're going on! The frame, deck and tent are top notch.

[@JoseP-hj5zo]

Like to see it with a slide out refrigerator/freezer unit . That rack looks super functional .

[@williamwatson9166]

Thank you just starting out on mine.

[@henrycarlson7514]

interesting , Thank You. Good Idea

[@chrismullin8304]

I wanted a "decked" drawer system for my truck, but they don't make an 8' version. Their solution is 6' drawers with dead space up front. I built my own.

[@84greenbear]

It's easy to build your own. And probably cheaper too.

[@bigtony4829]

Bright orange kind of stands out ....I think i would prefer a matt black or green colour myself if i was trying to wind my neck in and avoid trouble

[@ThinkHarder]

i just love his voice, such a good narrator voice, i could listen to him for hours on end, cheers

[@no0channel0at0all]

That’s a perfect color for a bug out vehicle

Great BRIGHT RED "bug out" vehicle. Hopefully the people you're hiding from are color blind. :-) Seriously - good build!

Dude, well done. Love your color commentary and light antics.

[@michaelhall2737]

Stuff was cool and I would love to have. Only problem I need a very good winning lottery ticket to buy. Let's keep these videos in real life. Just a salesman.

[@SimpleLivingForever]

If you waiting for the lottery to win, you might miss the SHTF already. Just get your skill saw out along with a few outdoor screws, 2x4, and 3/4 plywoods and you can have yourself and draw system like mine on the 8' bed.

[@jaybeauvais4311]

Why does everyone of these vehicles have a back board in the kit.

[@jamesklingler1098]

@@SimpleLivingForever $150 tops vs $1900 buys a bunch more needed items. Spare parts being tops to keep mobile.

[@thebeagles1929]

Love the truck. I have a 13 Ford Raptor. Great ideas on your rig. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks

[@troypurnell7479]

Should have done this long ago, little bit at a time, maybe its not to late, i got a old skool pickup that would be perfect.

[@eric2cc]

That is a great setup you have and expensive. Don't get me wrong you get what you pay for and this is great but not many people can afford this setup. The tent and it being raised really has my eye though.

Thats where the whole 'ultimate' part comes in.

[@bryanmartinez9428]

This is a pretty frickin awesome vidja right here.. I watched it all the way and enjoyed it truly, thanks for showing us Reba.

[@4theloveofDub]

I personally want to build a Tahoe or Suburban adventure/bug out vehicle. Basically the same capability offroad as a truck, but the majority of my stuff can be kept INSIDE the vehicle. I dont have to worry about weatherproof boxes, or even getting out to get into those boxes... I can just climb back and have access to it all. People looking at it just think its another tahoe with dark tinted windows. These truck systems are cool, but they show everyone "Hey, this person has a bunch of stuff/supplies" Trucks like these are highly visible rolling loot boxes. An SUV can look like a soccer mom car but actually be a rolling base camp.

[@Dusther210]

It’s a solid bug out build foundation. I feel overlanding is good practice for bugging out. Have you done an update to this build? Suspension/armor/comm mods? Do you mind sharing a cost breakdown for the components in this video to assist those with budgeting and expectations Thank you! @BattlBox

[@dannyryanlannon784]

Love the video, I'm waiting on my buddy to sell me his f150 forget the year but shes got 2 tanks!!!. Also no offense but I will be painting her black, green, or brown. Like my canoe I rebuilt this spring which I painted british racing green with black gunnels(yup I know, they get hot, but guess what I got water to cool em down) stylish green color and ready to be hidden if necessary. Having the initiative in a survival situation is a life saver, in the words of Gandalf "is it secret? Is it safe?" Keep secret and keep safe.

[@ridgerunner106]

It's always good to experience new equipment and ideas. I watched and enjoyed this video.

[@johndoe4164]

[@Staff2-fk7sv]

There are other things that ( slip) through check points too ,Some are even grey MAN ;)

[@Dangling_Carrot]

That roof top tent has been on back order for years. 3500K for plastic top and bottom with 3 yards of canvas. I'll sleep on my ruck like I did for 20 years.

[@TheTyrial86]

This should be put on a trailer. The stuff on this truck is cool. But that is all it is.

[@jeramydygert2611]

Umm to think that he just painted a target on his back is kinda of dumb. It just looks like any other offroad camping vehicle. Also people who prep also have guns. Some may think about it but it's one of those risk vs rewards scenario. And people who say they are gonna be looking for this are usually talking out their ass

[@darinization]

@@jeramydygert2611 he has gas hanging in the open. In shtf, if you need gas you would look at this and just keep moving? I'm all for it being a offroad vehicle. But he's says shtf, not offroad.

Good presentation and a bit humour. You’ve got a well organized and feature filled Bug Out Truck and usable as an everyday driver. 👍 from 🇨🇦

[@hbhighlander]

Question: Why did you decide on the XL Pod on the passenger side? I would think that having it on the driver side would be better visibility while daily driving (with the assumption that the Rotopax would be added when it was "time to go"). I love my Decked system and I am about to install the Leitner Forged on my F-150, just thought id get your input.

Thanks, this is excellent. I'd be proud too. I'd need a wardrobe, fridge and power, which you can throw in the back of the cab. Have you camped in it in the rain? When it falls alongside the tent, it would hit the pods. Does it tend to fall to the outside or inside?
