SHTF Travel Guide | How to Survive Going Long Distances Without Cars

[@StevieChilds]

I've gone 40 years without driving. I did try it, wasn't for me. I walk just about everywhere. I even have a 200lb capacity wagon I pull to go grocery shopping (it's about an hour's walk to my house). I can walk all day no problem. I also have a folding scooter- the foot powered kind, not electric- that cuts down travel time significantly if you take advantage of hills. It's easily carried as well. If I had to drive I could, but knowing I can cover 15-17 miles on foot a day is reassuring. I think my preference for walking will be an advantage in a shtf scenario.

[@reliableprepper]

Stevie, that’s impressive! Your dedication to walking and being prepared with that wagon and scooter setup is solid. Covering 15-17 miles on foot is no small feat, and in an SHTF situation, that kind of stamina and adaptability will definitely give you an edge. Keep on trekking!

[@hotrodprepper656]

Hey Dustin hope you are well. Something else to do is when walking through dirt or sand use a thick pair of socks to pull over your boots ... this will help cover your tracks and make it harder for anyone to follow you. Also, set up camp before dark eat something and rest for a few hours, then be back on the road a couple of hours before sunrise... less chance of being detected. Keep up the great videos.

Socks? Going to need something bigger like cardboard or carpet

[@hotrodprepper656]

Hey William, that’s an awesome setup! Charging your fat tire e-bike off your solar system is such a smart and sustainable way to stay prepared. Plus, having a non-electric mountain bike as a backup is a great move-definitely covering all your bases. Thanks for sharing, and I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

A trailer enables you to haul much more weight/gear. I think that's the way to go, but I don't have one yet. How much more drag/rolling resistance did you find the trailer to add?

I watch your videos often and the content is great. I think you missed something major with this video though in regards to perspective. All these tips are from the perspective of adults in their prime traveling either alone or in groups. Our family includes pets, small children and elderly who need assistance even walking. These factors contribute many complications with the information in this video.

@@mikejewg Hey Mike, thanks so much for watching and for pointing that out-you're absolutely right. Families with pets, small kids, or elderly members who need extra assistance face a whole different set of challenges, and I can see how some of my tips might not cover those complications well enough. I’ll do my best to work more of that perspective into future videos to make the advice more inclusive and practical for everyone. I really appreciate you bringing this up!

[@careymcwilliams3277]

hiking will be it as far as going anywhere. Bikes break down and you will be climbing over the rows of dead cars on the road, so best to get into shape and make friends with the weather. I hike six miles everyday with stuff on my back just to bring home store-bought food. Put dry socks in plastic to keep them dry and use the sun to dry all wet clothes when possible. Best not to stop to deal with really useless electronic gear. In situations where it is better to bug out than shelter in place, no one will be transmitting anything and the internet will be down, so forget that. Besides, you might get shot fiddling around unnecessarily with electronic stuff, solar panels so forth. Tools can help you collect what you need along the way, so don't pack allot of extras as the weight will limit your range. Remember, pipes always have water and water towers drain by gravity, so drinkable water can be found for a while. Eat fridge food first, canned on the road only as you don't know if food has spoiled. Smells funny, toss it. fill containers as needed and keep moving. Slow and steady wins the race as they say.

[@reliableprepper]

Hey Carey, that’s some excellent advice. You’re absolutely right about the importance of fitness, staying adaptable, and traveling light. Hiking with a pack every day is a fantastic way to prepare-it’s all about building that endurance and getting used to the load. I also love the tips about water sources and drying wet clothes, super practical. Thanks for sharing all of this, it’s clear you’ve put a lot of thought into it. Keep up the hard work and stay safe out there!

[@steveturansky9031]

While it would be nice to have a car or truck for travel, post SHTF, you better have an alternative. Even if your vehicle is functional, all it takes in many areas is 1-2 cars stopped ahead of you and all traffic stops. I live in a SoCal beach town and 10-12 years ago there was a Cascadia earthquake off Oregon with subsequent tsunami warning for my area. There's a hill less than 1/4 mile away and my neighbors took off via car within 5 minutes of the warning to get up the hill. Three hours later, long after the warning was cancelled they made it back home. Turns out they didn't even get halfway to that hill and they were stuck in massive gridlock, completely stopped. Do not depend solely on your car, especially in a medium or high population area. My plan is now bikes or boats.

[@reliableprepper]

That's a powerful story, Steve! Nothing like firsthand experience to drive the point home-cars aren’t always the best bet in an emergency. Bikes and boats sound like smart alternatives, especially with SoCal traffic. Thanks for sharing; it's a great reminder for all of us!

[@DigitalCleaner]

In the first couple of days, you'll have time to make big moves. But after that, people will figure out there are no police and the real face of unruled man will come forward. You won't believe how many sociopaths you've been living amongst all this time. Your best bet is to fortify your home now. Know that you'll have to get out of your house to fight. You can't use your house for cover. They'll just burn you alive in there. Don't get trapped like that.

[@reliableprepper]

Hey DigitalCleaner, you make a really strong point, and I completely agree with your assessment. Those first couple of days are critical for making smart moves before things take a darker turn. It’s unsettling to think about how quickly society can unravel, but being prepared to defend yourself and your home is crucial. Fortifying now and having a plan to avoid being trapped is solid advice. Thanks for sharing your insight, it’s an important reminder for anyone preparing for tough scenarios. Stay safe out there!

[@GoonieLord]

I still have my good old fashioned bicycle. Doesn't need batteries just good old pedal power. Plus bike tires can last some time

[@reliableprepper]

That's a great mix of options for different terrain!

[@johngalt5504]

I got a set of panniers for my mountain bike. They have three compartments top, left, and right sides. I wear a small backpack to add to what I can carry.

[@steveturansky9031]

Would you consider a trailer?

[@johngalt5504]

Yes, I would think a trailer would be nice for road travel. I'm not sure if it could be used on trails.

[@RichardAStonemasonNOTfreemason]

Good choice John. Panniers are a must in my opinion. Did you know that front wheel panniers and handle-bar bags are also available? Having spent the best part of five months, way back in 1989, on the road cycling through parts of Europe, camping at least six nights out of seven, i can attest to the fact that the more 'stuff' that can be loaded directly on the bike the better. Avoiding a backpack made a wonderful experience much better, giving total freedom of body-movement and a release from any back-pack associated aches and pains. i Love cycling.

[@DigitalCleaner]

To hold a property in the stix you'll need at least 20 well armed people. This would be a commune that would have to patrol and eventually supply runs. It will be pretty bad if you aren't prepared.

[@reliableprepper]

You’re absolutely right-holding a remote property takes teamwork and coordination. A solid plan and the right group can make all the difference. Thanks for the insight!

Between 2 pickups, an ATV and a side x side, I shouldn't have to walk. We shouldn't have to bug out as this small town is rural, yes we have a smaller college but most of those would try and go home if things got bad. Good video, keep them coming

[@reliableprepper]

Hey Bob, sounds like you’ve got a solid setup with all those vehicles! Being in a rural small town definitely gives you an advantage, especially if most people would be looking to leave rather than stick around. It’s always smart to have backup plans like you do. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and I really appreciate the encouragement. Thanks for watching, and stay safe out there!

[@RichardAStonemasonNOTfreemason]

Many thanks Dustin, Some very useful information on a generally overlooked subject as you mentioned. Firstly, as with any physical endeavor, fitness is key. Whatever the modum onerariis, be it walking or cycling as examples, practice in order to gain relevant experience and to perfect techniques as well as improve strength, stamina and general fitness. Invest in good clobber. For walking, buy the best walking foot-ware you can afford, including socks. Be prepared for ailments such as blisters and sore muscles and cramps. For cycling, protect the arse and crutch area from saddle sores. Don't forget a puncture repair outfit, pump and tools to make repairs. Personally, i'm a cycling fan. Cycling can be quicker on certain terrains plus a cycle has a greater load-carrying capacity. Foot note: When traveling, a map comes in quite handy.

[@reliableprepper]

Hey Richard, I really appreciate your kind words and the great advice you’ve shared. You’re absolutely right about fitness being key. Practicing your travel method ahead of time, whether it’s walking or cycling, is such an important step. Investing in good gear, like solid footwear or cycling tools, really pays off when you’re out there dealing with the challenges. I like your point about cycling being faster on certain terrains and carrying more load. And yeah, having a map on hand is a lifesaver. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. It means a lot!

[@RichardAStonemasonNOTfreemason]

It can get a bad press for various reasons, none of which i'd take seriously until i'd experienced it. i Love the idea of a tech-free existence and self-sufficiency. As i've been lead to believe, the Amish have become quite persecuted by 'authorities'. so they must be doing something right :~? Cheers Dustin.

[@TimeToStartOver]

There's a saying in Germany: Der Fußbus fährt immer. Meaning: The 'foot-bus' always runs. I'd never rely on any technology in a real SHTF. Even electric bikes. If I fall off my bike at high (or even slow) speed, I might seriously injure myself, so I prefer to travel slowly but safely.

[@reliableprepper]

Hey there, I love that saying-"Der Fußbus fährt immer." It’s so true, and it really captures the importance of simplicity and self-reliance. You’re absolutely right about the risks with bikes, especially in a high-stress situation. Traveling slowly and safely can make all the difference when it comes to survival. Thanks for sharing that wisdom, it’s a great perspective to keep in mind! How are things in your part of the world these days?

[@hexzerone7034]

You can’t rely on all cars, older cars may still work. Other cars, if you disconnect the battery and try again, may work. Have the proper tools available in the car. But if the roads are filled with cars that won’t move, you’re screwed. Having a bicycle is best

[@reliableprepper]

Hey Hey!!! You’re absolutely right that not all cars can be relied on, especially in tough situations. Older cars, like those built before the early 1980s, usually have a better shot at surviving an EMP since they don’t depend on modern electronics. Having the right tools in your car is a great point too... Could really save you in a jam. And I agree, bikes can be a solid backup plan when the roads are blocked. How's life treating ya?

No they're not going to make any noise of whatsoever and if need be I can just use the ranger band as a fire starter.

forget it. Your BOL has to be in the woods around your local water source, 2-3 nights of walking beside a laden bicycle, at most. The roads will be full of flat tited, shot-up cars and ambushes. All it takes to stop cars is 1" of wood and some 3" nails, found in any wooden structure. Driving, you wont see such tire-flatteners from more than 50m away and then it will be too late. The ambushers will pop pup from their trenches (one on each end of the ambush, 100m away and each one will get 10 rds or more into your car. You can't be out and about in daylight at ALL. you can't show a normal light at night, or make any noise. Doing those things will get you shot the firrst week of shtf.

[@reliableprepper]

That’s a really intense but valid perspective. You’re absolutely right-roads could be incredibly dangerous, and staying out of sight at night with minimal noise is critical. The idea of a bike and a carefully chosen BOL near a water source makes a lot of sense for safety and practicality. Hopefully, the video gets people thinking about these harsh realities and planning smarter. Thanks for sharing your insight!

@@reliableprepper it only takes one person to kill you and that person can be a 12 yo girl with a xbow, pellet rifle or muzzleoader. millions of people know how to mount a silencer of one sort or another on a 22lr rifle. With subsonic ammo and holding the bolt shut, you wont hear the shot at 50 FEET. So they wont hesitiate to shoot at you with such a combo. They will want your stuff and not want your competition. 500 rds of 22lr weigh just 3.5 lbs, so it's going be a long time befofre they run out of ammo. Such a combo can brain men, deer, dogs and hogs to 50m, cattle and horses to 20m and then only with temple hits. They can deliver (eventually) lethal torso hits to 125m.

Bicycle's, easy to maintain and repair. I don't think so. Well maybe if you get a single speed beach cruiser. I am a bicycle mechanic, and even I'm at a loss some times with some of the new bicycle tech. As for a solar set up to charge a ebike battery. Now your getting into a whole nuther kettle of fish, that can stink real easy. Most ebike batteries are 36 or 48 volt. So not only do you need a good solar panel, and a big one at that, but you need a solar controller that will up the voltage, plus a go between of some kind, so your battery is getting clean power. I have a set up like this, and it is not light. So I would need to pull one of my trailers. Plus, if its an emp, my ebike is screwed. But I can convert it to a pedal bike easy enough. Lots to think about. I live in the west, distances between towns can be 50 to 100 miles. Easy enough to do on a bike, but on foot or horse back, will take 5 to 6 days. And you are going to needs lots of food and clean water.

[@reliableprepper]

You bring up some excellent points, Longrider. Maintaining or repairing modern bike tech can definitely get tricky, even for a pro. And yeah, the idea of setting up a solar rig for an e-bike battery sounds like more hassle than it’s worth in a true SHTF scenario-especially with the weight and complexity. A single-speed bike or converting an e-bike to a pedal bike might be the way to go. Out west, with those long distances and limited resources, keeping it simple is probably the best bet.

Get out to the sticks now, you will be in a bug out location. I can make engines run on steam, fueled by wood and water so cars will work for me. I'm where streams start so clean water is no problem, boil it to be safe. I've seen all sorts of scat where the streams come out of the ground. The best thing to do is live in the sticks and learn skills. Skills may change you from a loot drop to a member of a community. If you are in a city learn skills such as wood and metal working. The cars abandoned on the roads would be a resource for building things like APCs and weaponry. A well rounded community in the middle of nowhere is a better chance of survival and rebuilding. If you make it here have the skills to make you needed.

[@reliableprepper]

Hey David, I get where you’re coming from, but there are definitely scenarios where traveling long distances might be unavoidable in an SHTF situation. For example, if you’re forced to evacuate because of a natural disaster like a wildfire or flood, you might need to cover a lot of ground to reach safety. Another possibility is being separated from loved ones and needing to reunite or even running out of critical supplies and having to travel to find more. There’s also the chance of being pushed out of your area due to civil unrest or dangerous conditions. It’s not ideal, but sometimes staying put just isn’t an option. I think it’s smart to prepare for every possibility, even the ones we hope we never face. Thanks for sharing your thoughts-it’s always good to have these discussions!
