My Grey Man Bug Out Vehicle Loadout For SHTF | Practical Preparedness

My Grey Man Bug Out Vehicle Loadout For SHTF | Practical Preparedness
Every prepper needs a way to escape and bug out in case a SHTF event forces you to. But, is your truck, car or SUV ready for the journey?
My truck is set up in a way that allows it to look and act the part of grey man while being plenty capable in a bug out scenario. Of course a lift kit, huge tires, a roof rack and cattle plow would allow me to rampage through the apocalypse like Mad Max on steroids in my BOV but, that is not practical for a daily driver, short road trip scenario for most people. Hopefully this gives you some ideas about what to keep in your vehicle for that one time things don't go the way you had planned.
Thanks again to Grey Man Tactical for helping out with this video. The Vehicle Seatback RMP is an awesome way to get things organized within your bug out vehicle!

Yes it a little bigger and it's heavy but given its capabilities its well worth it. I never leave without it as well as a tire plug kit. I can fix a flat without removing the tire.

*PREPPER PRO TIP #3* 8:42 *So just in case you get a slow tire leak & for whatever reason you do not have the time or it is not safe to change your tire, always keep a couple of cans of "Fix-A-Flat" or that "Smart Spare" as shown at **20:57** inside for easy access because you may not be the one that'll have to deal with the flat. You have plenty of space under that seat. Screw the can on to your intake valve, it automatically airs up the tire & seals it so you can drive on. (WARNING! The substance that gums up the leak from the inside can also mess up any tire pressure sensor inside your wheel rim, but if is chaos then the sacrifice may be worth replacing the $100+ sensor later)*

Just a little advice from a mechanic, Get rid of those garbage Autolite spark plugs ASAP!!! I seriously wouldn't run those in a weed eater or go kart, much less an every day vehicle and even less in my bug out/SHTF vehicle. Just like with the oil and antifreeze, get the correct spark plugs for your vehicle.

A BRIGHT RED truck is always good to be a gray man. I think white or gray would blend in better.

[@MagicPrepper]

Color might not matter as much as it seems. At least where I live. Any vehicle can be seen for miles. Especially the dust cloud behind them. But, I would argue that a lifted truck with light bars. roof racks, brush guard, snorkel, etc would get more attention regardless of color than a plain jane red vehicle would. Just my thought! When you buy used, generally price and practicality win over color. Or at least that's been my experience.

Of course I'm not really worried about aliens so much as I am of what others are capable of doing for survival. Carjacking, murder, etc. Not just about having supplies and a way to bug out, but a plan to avoid certain situations or ability to react to unexpected ones. If you're in the city, might be best to stay in place to avoid getting stuck in highways.

I love that molle panel in the back of the seat that’s so awesome I need to get one! Key to being low profile is to have all your stuff covered so you aren’t a desirable target. Keeping stuff locked up and inaccessible is good but making it look like you have nothing to take in the first place is even better. Oh I would add some traction aids you can slip under your tires if you get stuck. It’s like plastic ramps to get you out of a slick spot. Lots of overlanders carry those on board. Add a hi-lift off-road jack, a come-along manual winch and you can self-recover from a lot of situations. Nice to have the snatch straps but also need another vehicle to get you out.

FYI that tow strap should be rated for a more if you're using it to recover your Tundra. A good rule of thumb is just over double your GVWR. That being said those straps with built in clips are known to be cheap and have inflated ratings. I suggest one with a loop on each end, then buy the metal D shackles. Either that or get a kinetic rope. They're used a lot in recovery because they're easier on the vehicle (there is some springiness to them) and allow the recovery vehicle to pick up some momentum without posing more harm to the stuck vehicle.

But what makes this truck the best to "bug-out" with is the cap. It's a commercial style with tool boxes built into the sides, and the locks are all keyed to the truck's ignition key. At all times I'm able to carry a bunch of tools, recovery gear, and supplies. And the bed of the truck remains basically empty, and could be filled with food/water/additional gear. From the outside it just looks like a plain white work truck.

[@deezgrafix]

I have a Jeep with enough supplies to live out of it for months if I have to. It’ll carry me wherever I need to go.

From personal experience I have found having a collapsible 1/2 socket wrench for removing oil drain plug and tire lug nut is so handy. The wrench given to most vehicles are too small for the leverage needed. I’d also recommend getting a worthless Chinese half inch torque wrench for the Lugnuts removal only.Because tightening them too hard tire can break the lug nut during travel. Always have a top-of-the-line tire plug kit for those nails and screws that the tire attracts + (kneepads or cardboard). If you’ve never changed the tire on your vehicle do a trial run so you know what to do on the roadside in the middle of the night while it’s raining on you. Case in point my Toyota 2018 Tacoma pick up truck.The mentally deficient Toyota designers make a special adapter key that work in conjunction with a rod for security purposes. Doesn’t work and it broke on me good thing I was changing the tire in front of my garage 11am Saturday that I had access to a hose clamp to fix their design flaw. Not to mention it took far too long to get the tire when needed. My 1997 blazer was so much easier to change the tire due to design genius A.k.a. the kiss method. Too bad they designed an engine that couldn’t handle the California smog Gestapo. Crushed at 80,000 miles🤢🤮🤮.

Triangle Reflectors for an breakdown emergency. Gray man tactical has great stuff. A little pricey.

[@Ikaria1717]

I’m not a prepper, just a fan of firearms but this video was fantastic. Well done

[@jewlzgoldstein6]

Thank you - I learned A LOT!!!!! Doing some rearranging today and only need to do a little bit of shopping. I do like it when you do some reviews because you don’t always give items a thumbs up, you aren’t afraid to say “I’ll Pass On This Item.” Thanks, Magic 👍

[@concernedpatriot.2221]

I carry an AR-15 in my truck but I keep it locked up under the rear seat with a bicycle wire lock that’s lined with rubber. I keep it there all the time along with combat equipment, you never know what might happen while you are on the road.

[@oscarcaballero8692]

Alright magic prepper love the truck color

[@tennesseetactical1864]

MAGIC PREPPER this was a GREAT VIDEO.. You're rolling out READY..The seat setup is very nice..The tote with all the best essentials and locked in gas can. I need to add some things to my car now.. ☆☆☆☆☆

[@MagicPrepper]

Thanks TT I appreciate it. There are some other great ideas in the comments here too that might give you some more ideas.

[@TheRedneckprepper]

Leather gloves ! hands r handy, but not if ya hurt them !

[@classicrocker81]

Good choice on the Tundra! One day I’ll have one to park next to my Tacoma.

[@classicrocker81]

@Joseph haha who knows

[@MagicPrepper]

I just figured, if I am going to get a used truck that's 7 years old, it might as well be a Toyota.

[@MagicPrepper]

@Brian Chambers so this sounds weird but, I don't fit in a Tacoma very well. The cab is too tight and I need to be able to get three car seats in the back so Tundra was necessary size wise.

[@MagicPrepper]

@Brian Chambers I'm 6'3 with really long arms which makes the difference I guess haha.

[@semperfi_ny]

I looked into that molle panel from greyman tactical. I couldn't justify the price. I found a knock off version on Amazon for $65. Does exactly the same thing. I mainly use it for my rechargeable flashlight, roadflares and other fire department gear.

[@MagicPrepper]

Always good to shop around and if it worked for you then great. I think there is always something to be said about American made but we all have a budget as well. Thanks for the input!

[@TM-ey5py]

@@MagicPrepper you need a psych eval

[@TM-ey5py]

@Predbeau101 I actually do live well prepared and have great situational awareness, but I think some of this is extreme. I wasn’t even this paranoid after coming home from Iraq 1x and Afghanistan 2x. I’m sure M.P. has watched “Red Dawn” a few too many times.

[@TM-ey5py]

@Predbeau101 My initial comment was just a joke. I don’t appreciate your comments. Relax.

[@macrocrypto112]

Tundra with a 2 3/4 lift, -1 inset, 35 inch tires, front and back bumper upgrades, rock plate is the gold standard for shtf imo. Red probably isn't the best color

[@MagicPrepper]

Sounds pretty beefy! Yea red is not my first choice. But when buying used I had to choose price, practicality and transportation requirements over color. Especially out here in ND where trucks are swooped up the day they arrive.

[@mahatmadoo2566]

Red doesn't give off the scent of being a bug out vehicle. Very clever double-reverse psychology.

[@macrocrypto112]

@@mahatmadoo2566 I don't subscribe to Grey man for shtf. Imo, noone is going to care what color your pack is. Only how full it appears. Red however is hey look at me. Not that I'm knocking practical prepper. He at least has a truck currently.

[@troysutherland734]

Beautiful truck.

[@youngguns1319]

I painted my 89 first gen dodge sarg green and keep a white big tarp in the bed so I blend Good in summer and cover it in the winter if I had to stop

[@MagicPrepper]

Good stuff. I bought this truck used. Red is not my color of choice but, price and practicality came before color on this purchase.

[@youngguns1319]

@@MagicPrepper Oh I get it price is always the first thing to look at I got lucky and got given the truck I talked about from my father in-law and I just thought hey would make a great shtf truck and this is where I ended up

[@minarchist1776]

I realize that getting a general purpose basic camper shell that comes up even with the top of your cab might make the truck less able to do some of the things that you might want to do with it in terms of hauling stuff around. However, for SHTF I would recommend that you have one available that you could mount on your truck quickly. That way you can haul around your various stores of food, water, whatever without being blatantly obvious about it. Black plastic garbage bags and duct tape are your friend for providing cheap, easy and rapid curtains for any windows the shell might have. Also makes living out of the bed of the truck a more viable solution if that's something you have to do.

[@MagicPrepper]

I used to have a F-150 with a camper shell and man, it was nice to have. Good points!

[@countryboy5413]

1 thing i suggest is getting an older truck that doesn't have all that fancy stuff on it because that stuff can tear up like push button or other things. I also suggest getting bikes just incase, just my thought

[@ebony5766]

I checked out greyman tactical site. WAAAAAY overpriced. Lots of other ways to achieve the same thing. Good video buddy.

[@bravowhiskey4684]

I don’t have chapstick… I’ve got fresh cat oil though. It works the same. 🤔

[@MagicPrepper]

What about batteries?

Thank you for the information. Not ready yet but I will by next week

[@MagicPrepper]

I try!

[@davidallen7404]

Nice truck but how far are you going to get after the EMP? I went with a 1984 Chevy, 3/4 ton rebuild engine old school carburetor.

[@DIYDad1]

I have a 98 Chevy, gettin there! Lol a lot less electronics than the newer vehicles. Still somewhat susceptible. There’s countermeasures you can install to help shield your vehicle against EMP’s even modern vehicles. There’s a good chance that your vehicle will shut off in an EMP but a lot of times can be started up again as long as the ECU isn’t fried.

[@youngguns1319]

Yup I run a 89 first gen dodge Cummins 5speed 4x4 3/4 ton great mpg if a gear goes just skip it I got a bed cap on it fuel cell that holds 75 gallons fo diesel with 12v pump full size tire under the bed and two more in the bed I weld for a living so I made a front and rear bumper with winches oh and I forgot it’s a four door I build the truck my self sarg green pint looks like a 50cal ammo can on wheels lol

[@deepbludude4697]

89 F250 2wd with winch, 7.3 IDI, 1 wire to run, extra tanks 76 gals at 19mpg, 12vdc fuel pump to extract from tanks, full ladder rack over bed/ cab an old canvas tarp cut and stitched to fit to get out of weather. Backup is 71 dodge W200 same setup with full rack. Ive got a 96 F350 4x4 PSD box truck i just spent 300 for an EMP shield but i have my doubts itll work. I just added up I have 8K in all 3 vics most was in tires...Bought em all several years ago but just bought a 71 Coronet 500 bucks im building for my kid when his high end car wont run...

[@arnoldgallegos6247]

I have a fully off-road upgraded 2019 taco, but also have my 1978 jeep cj7 just in case.

[@bulleit9459]

There is NO proven science an EMP will kill vehicles. As a matter of fact the only test of this kind was conducted at the white sands missile base in New Mexico and all of the vehicles whose engines died after the emp, they started back up after simply turning the key.

[@oldman-zr2ru]

I had to put out a SMALL dumpster fire that had no more than 2 trash cans of paper in it. It cost me a fire extinguisher 4 TIMES the size you have PLUS 15 gallons of water. Take from that what you will.

[@Eric-ew8jt]

Great logout Magic prepper! Lip balm keeps the warrior lips supple!

[@MagicPrepper]

Gotta keep 'em popping in the apocalypse.

[@mattgamble5422]

Nice truck hoss! That Tundra will give you 400k trouble free miles. (I’m on my third and I’ve passed on the first two over to second owners in near-perfect condition)

[@R3D_R0CK3T-5]

Did you forget to mention the pain in the ass oil filter and miserable skid plate ( unless you took yours off )

[@mattgamble5422]

Yeah, the lack of a pass-through on the skid plate is unfortunate. I usually change the oil / filter myself during warmer months and take it to the dealership during the winter. (This helps shave down the annoyance a bit)

[@troybartlett4584]

Really good ideas! Thanks!

[@caifan444]

Great video magic prepper!

[@J.P.101]

Very good presentation, I like your load out, we are similar. I also carry a hi-lift jack and gorilla brand duct tape. I can't carry a dedicated firearm in my vehicle because I have to access a military base and they are prohibited. Definitely got some good information and will incorporate it into my own loadout. Thanks 😊

[@AlexSmith-mq1tb]

don't forget extra bulbs for headlights, break lights, extra windshield washer fluid and wiper blades...

[@calebbearup4282]

Another spare tire thought. A lot of people will increase the size of their tires for extra ground clearance... Then don't think about increasing the spare tire to match
