I'm building out a 1992 Delica L300 Starwagon as both a full time camper van, and a "bugout" vehicle. It's small, it's 4x4, and it's a turbodeisel from the factory. It has a few issues I've had to address to improve its longevity, but then again, what van doesn't. I was able to pick it up for 8k while I was stationed in Japan, and have it shipped home for free as my POV by the military. Theyre normally worth 15k in the states. Since it's deisel, it's kinda multifuel (especially if I set it up to burn vegetable oil, which I intend on doing). So I decided to build my entire build around just 2 resources: Deisel, and electricity. Besides the usual solar/battery setup and electric stovetop and the electrical side of things, I have gotten a pair of MSR dragonfly burners to build myself a custom multifuel dual burner, as opposed to propane. I got them because from what Ive read, theyre about the only burners still produced on the market that cleanly burn deisel. And they have a valve so you can turn them down and simmer food that way. Some future plans of mine, Im going to be installing a diesel heater, auxillary deisel tank, and maybe get a small deisel generator. If I did all that, I'd pretty much only need to worry about getting food, water, and deisel (or... Vegetable oil... Or JP-8... Or Jet-A... Etc etc etc... Btw, did you know you can make vegetable oil relatively easily if you collect enough nuts? You only really need a press to make it. Biofuel gasoline however is very difficult to make). I thought this would simplify my setup somewhat, as opposed to trying to get food, water, deisel for the van, propane for burners, gasoline for a generator etc etc etc etc. Part of that led me to the idea of getting an enduro or dirt bike of some kind to have as transportation option besides the van, but... Well, following this logic, I'd need to get a deisel bike. Lo and behold, there's only this one rare model of production deisel bike sadly... And 12-30k is a little steep for my blood, so I guess there goes that idea XD.

I’ve grown up riding in the woods since I was 6 years old (riding 30+ years now) with loads of experience on many types of bikes in many disciplines on and off road. A 2 stroke ~300 or ~350 will get you amazing low speed off road capability at low (quiet) rpms - excellent tractor like torque on bottom and mid range. Reliability wise, they have come a very long way since the old 2 strokes. There’s an extreme availability for parts, upgrades. Maintenance is extremely easy due to the simplicity. Many modern 4 stokes need maintenance done after 5-10 hours of ride time. List goes on, lots of reasons for them being great for what you are looking for Mike. For me, ~2017 KTM 300xc properly tuned to your height, weight (load out), skill, and oversized tank is my go to. Many other good bikes but too many to name.

I stole a Matco 6S toolbox that was almost brand new out of a DRMO dumpster on the flightline at Kadena a few years ago. One side kept breaking the lock because it was built a lil wrong at the factory, and CTK decided to just throw the whole box out... Theyre like 21,000 dollars new XD. A little elbow grease and some misuse of equipment (I talked my forklift qualified CTK buddy into using his super powers and a military forklift for an hour to help me), and I managed to get it onto a 2 ton truck I rented and got it home. ... It now sits in an autobody shop I worked at for a summer, whose owner I sold it to for 3500. If the military is gonna be insanely wasteful, might as well take advantage of it when and where you can.

Im not a Marsoc guy (MSOB/MARSOC units stood up with my Recon brothers after i PCSd) but those bikes were built for my unit. Raids & Recon, our R&D at Quantico started sourcing a build for the 650 in the late 90s and the first ones were tested around 99. I used the gas version up until about 04/05 and these diesel models were fielded. Due to the heavy deployment schedules the only guys that had a need for these were MEUSOC units or guys going to CAX (Combined Arms/Supporting Arms exercise) out in 29 Palms or Red Flag in Nellis. These were not ideal for CQB, which was our main mission in theatre. See my other reply.

I used those bikes. We would throw them in a 53 and drop them in the desert. You had to also have a truck, which we had an Ifav (tactical Mercedes G Wagon). You cant wear a 100lb mission ruck while riding it. I’ll always be the guy that says its better to walk in. Quiet and less casualty producing; definitely not as fun as HAHO. What usually happened is we would ride those bikes to the ORP a terrain feature behind the OP and walk from there. So you have to cache the bikes. Yes they are loud and you cant carry much gear. I worked the East German border in the mid 80s, and the GRU bikes were easy to find due to noise & engine heat using thermals. PS- nvgs over open terrain at night will get you a broken foot hahaha.

It amuses me to this day on the line, ‘load pipes saves lives.’ I wonder what the accident and wreckage percentage rate would be if this were true. As someone who’s been around military bases with Fighter Wing Squadrons all her adult life, I find amusing when a fighter jet can just creep up on you and you never heard them coming. Wait for it… until they fly past you.

Have fun finding diesel fuel every place you might go in America off grid! Gasoline is far more widely available.
