Lol. Yes but population helps to offset smaller shtf scenarios. Have neighbors close helps you survive and thrive in average situations. In Minnesota a mini shtf is a 12+ inch snowfall. If I didn't have neighbors I would have struggled for a week instead of a day.

[@kftc1980]

jainouye That depends on the neighbors. In an area where your neighbors are as capable and resourceful and have as much to lose as you, absolutely. To me that means somewhere fairly rural where people are naturally self reliant, but not necessarily selfish.

NickS. •• I get the appeal of that, but who is on watch when you are asleep, or doing anything that requires your attention? You have to hope no one finds their way to your location if you have no dedicated security.

[@WarHawk-]

@Kevin R. - A large percentage of the population simply do not have access to "the middle of nowhere" nor the knowledge and physical ability to survive even if they could get there. The real fact is that within a very short time after a SHTF event, most people would b fortunate to be able to travel even as much as 30 miles without being molested, robbed, injured, or killed by others. It is more doable to find a defensible position close by and stay put for awhile, at least until the initial violence of anarchism runs its course.

[@kftc1980]

Charles V Swenson The middle of nowhere is relative. There are places where people live with millions of others within 20 miles of them, and other places where there are less than a hundred thousand people within 100 miles. Moving from an overpriced overpopulated coastal city to an inexpensive smaller city or town in a red state is not hard to do, it is just a question of seeing the reasons to do this, and then going and doing it. Where I live now a 1200 sq ft house on a suburban lot is valued around 400k. Where I am about to move to, a larger house on several acres with a well and a septic system and a basement costs around 300k. It isn’t a question of access, it is a question of priorities and wisdom.

Horses are a "POOR EFFICIENCY machine" when running on only grass. You NEED grain to keep a "working horse" healthy and in optimum shape. Cows and Bison are much easier to provide for than a horse (which cannot even eat moldy hay without digestive issue). A cow-drawn cart can carry a MUCH HEAVIER load than a horse can. Oxen make the best hauling beasts having the advantages of a horse (easily trained) with a cow (powerful and easily maintained). Goats can also be an effective method of drawing a cart. They are even easier to care for than oxen/cows are. Dogs require meat but can haul larger loads than you would think. They can also be used for protection and hunting.

@@_DB.COOPER Nobody. Wild horses aren't hauling very heavy loads either. "Forage" or "graze" CAN substitute for feed IF you aren't using the horse right then. IF you are riding that horse or pulling a wagon, you will need to feed them grain to keep them in shape. Oxen or cows, when pulling a wagon, will also need "enhanced nutrition" but that can be something like hay or alfalfa which is easier to come by in a SHTF scenario.

If they really wanted to make a bunch of emp's that flatline an entire city through and through they could. Granted, popular knowledge of government-op's EMP is that they are only good for busting the main grid. But since when are goevernment secrets public? They are called secrets for a reason. And as a scientist i can assure you the physics behind an EMP blast is quite simple and any government who wanted to throw billions of dollars at it could easily make EMPs that kill every single electronic in a city.

We have 87 gallons of diesel in our fuel tank.. a diesel heater that uses roughly 1L a hour to heat the boat.. do cooking on shore and only move when wind allows or use diesel if we have to.. also gives us the ability to not only skip the country, but skip the continent as well.. odds are the entire world wont be in chaos.. so go somewhere that is still stable.

A couple of comments. 1. When I was much younger (about 45 years ago) I was planning a long trek (backcountry hike/travel) of about 950 miles. I realized I could not carry enough consumables, even considering periodic deviations to "civilization" fo resupply. Talking with a forest ranger and very experienced backwoodsman I met in Wyoming or Montana, we discussed various modes of transporting additional gear for such extended nomadic excursions. I had considered horses and mules, both for riding and transporting food, camp gear, etc. He suggested donkeys (burros). He pointed out they can carry up to 150 pounds each, and they are like dogs: where a horse will wander off, buffos will not and tend to like hanging out with you. Domestic horses also require more medical care, just like humans, so look for "mountain horses" raised in cold, harsh climate of the mountains. 2. Hovercraft are another option too often overlooked. Look at the options at Universal Hovercraft (www.hovercraft.com), the Hoverwing being the most impressive and my favorite. Hovercraft traverse water, land, ice and snow, mud, sand, etc. Most ride a few inches above the ground, limiting their utility, but the Hoverwing model uses ground effect with a pair of stubby canvas covered "wings", allowing it to hop over obstacles and "fly" for short distances. The ground effect does not allow for true flight, and the higher it goes, the less stable it becomes. However, this makes it a true all terrain vehicle, and I would take it in many scenarios over a traditional 4-wheel ATV, except for the lack of sudden stop brakes. The Hoverwing model had two fans, one for downward thrust and a larger one for forward thrust. With a "hop" height in excess of 10 feet (better than 3 meters) this vehicle can clear downed trees or even roadblocks at speed. Top cruising speed is around 60 mph with a range of 160 miles (unless fitted with a larger gas tank). Payload capacity, including fuel, passengers and gear, was close to 500 or 600 pounds after subtracting the vehicle weight of around 800 pounds. You are not moving these around by hand unless on a trailer or dolly. (Flatbed trailer behind my bugout vehicle was always my vision.) Check their website for accurate details, as I am writing this from memory. In an interview their chief designer, a retired aeronautical engineer, would not say the maximum altitude this vehicle could achieve, mainly because anything over 10 feet requires registration as a light sport aircraft. Other articles I read estimated 10 to 30 feet as easily achievable for short hops, and 50 feet a possibility, but it would be VERY unstable beyond 20 or 30 feet. Ground effect is meant to operate near the ground. This is NOT an aircraft. Drive it off a cliff and it is as aerodynamic as a brick. But as an ATV it excels for many scenarios. The Universal website looks like they have reduced their offerings since the last time I looked, but at least they still offer kits and plans.

Bike or e bike seems the way to go. Like you said. Quiet relatively slow but cheap or free to run. If you're bugging out in a survival situation you don't want tons of gear anyway. Fun video!

Electric bikes will go down in price. I believe that they will be about $299-$500 more than a good conventional bike within 5 years, have a 100 mile range. and double that with a spare battery. lightweight foldable and portable solar panels to charge the batteries will also be available and relatively inexpensive. Within 10 years I believe electric assist bicycles will constitute most of the bicycle market and cost only about $100-$250 more than a non electric bike. The same will be true for electric motorcycles, electric ATVs, and electric cars and light trucks. Solar panels will also become much cheaper and more efficient.Charging stations independent of the grid will abound, perhaps most parking lots and many roads will be covered by solar panels. Your vehicle won't need to be plugged in in order to charge, charging will be wireless, and perhaps "on the fly". This technology will cost less than ICE vehicles do today.

About the only thing I'd the rethink is the tyres, they are Maxxis Crossmarks, semi comp tyres and are a bit thin, so some cheap Chinese knock-off tyres should be more puncture resistant and last a lot longer, besides being cheaper.

Maybe 4 of us guys work in teams of two and we scout and loot and loot for people etc ahead a ways so by the time someone like you snows up for the already collected loot to be loaded up. I think the bihhest mistake we csn make is to work agaisnt certain people we come across. We have paragliders that can scout ahead farther than motorcycles and having groups with capabities like this early in the apocolypse when there is still fuel stored to make it a while will make a huge difference in how many people you find that will join your group and extend uts capabilities. You need people farming, hunting and gathering as well at the same time. To have this many capabilities one person cant do alone. You start collecting people the gorup geys bigger you have children, you need people to defend them when many arent around doing work to keep the colony alive which is when they will be most vulnerabke amd when their defence will be important. It will also be important to be smart and not get involved in situations that arent worth it. Maybe youre area isnt going tk make it and your group has to leave fkr an area whwre another group is know. To exiat. They wont elt your group into their group if its not full of farmers educators medical knowledge, people capable of huntig farming fighting. If we all retract into our holes for the apocolypse we will be doomed. I just think tour option has cpaability but its not getting you far easy in an apocolypse. With a motorcycle witj new tires if you had several sets orepared to burn through, you could go 1500 miles each way maybe 50mpg 3 gallons for 150 miles. Thays a big. Ranfe for little fuel in an apocolypse. Veing a motorcycle i wouldnt be abke to bulldoze a pathway like you could which is a limitation but one tank of fuel would get me to the farthest colony away from me thats even worth visiting in an apocolypse. So id be able to tale around thinhs like messeges, sadslebags could hold a lot of cans of food.

I'd say a diesel-powered 4WD camper converted VW combi van. On your way to the place where you can keep horses or donkeys. If you're not an experienced horse rider go for donkeys and carts. They are easier to keep than horses, eat less and are safer to handle. They can also help defend flocks of other animals (donkeys can kill wolves or large dogs if they need to, and keeping a few donkeys with flocks of sheep is a well-known wolf deterrent in mountain areas). They are also probably the cuddliest way of transport. You mention hot-air balloons, which shows that you're not serious. One, in the 1800s there were no hot-air balloons, there were only gas balloons. Attached to the ground by long cables these made good observation points on a battlefield, until weapons were invented that could shoot them down. Modern hot-air balloons were re-invented in the 1960s when propane and lightweight nylon came available. Great fun to fly (I should know, I've been doing it for more than 30 years), but as they drift with the wind when flying free, they are not a practical means of transport from A to B. At best a balloon might be able to get you out of A over an otherwise impossible obstacle (say a major river, or famously in the Cold War, the Iron Curtain between East and West Germany), but once landed after one or two hours of flight you will generally not have gotten very far and you must abandon the balloon - absent a way to refuel and reinflate it you will at best have the burners for cooking food for a while using the pilot flames, with the few litres of fuel left, while camping out next to the balloon. The nylon envelope might make good shelter material... Anyway, not very practical - you can't take a lot of luggage either - maybe a decent rucksack for each person on board, that's it. After the 20 to 40 km flight you will be forced to continue on foot.

What about the most used method in all history - the horse? Coupled with a cart/wagon, it is reliable, strong and can pull huge loads! For relatively short periods it can survive (like a human) on relatively little food beyond what it can forage (provided it can get water!). I read a very good article about pre-prepping a remote location, so that when you get there, the heavy construction has been done up front (eg building foundation, fireplace with chimney, etc), so that when you arrive, construction can get under way asap. Modern materials will also help considerable (eg polycarbonate roofing sheets are extremely light, strong and indestructible, and some extra tools indispensable, block & tackle, splitting wedges, felling axes, saws, etc).

One type of transport that has been around for thousands of years is the Chinese wheelbarrow. It's one large wheel, of wood, about 4 feet or so in diameter with an axle in the middle. Handles on BOTH ends and a platform over the top and down each side. It can easily carry several hundred pounds, even small people (kids or infirm), When full it needs two people to handle it, one on each end. Lightly loaded, maybe onlty one person to handle it. It was originally designed to allow it to follow narrow, single track paths (long before carts and two track paths like those used for cars. It can follow a single track only about 3 inches wide.

Suggestion: I would avoid any train tracks and also highways if at all possible. The reason for this is simple, everyone knows them. They are useful landmarks. Marauders *WILL* set up ambush points along them, and you risk getting attacked and stolen from or killed (or taken as a slave) because no matter how Rambo you think you are...you are not likely to win against a group of armed meatbags unless you also have a group of trained and armed meatbags yourself. Other places of note to avoid would be malls, hospitals, sporting goods stores, supermarkets and known warehouse depositories. Those are going to be taken over by some group or another (or you could take them over if you have a group) but if that is not part of your plan you are better off avoiding them. If you aren't prepared enough to last at least a year (barring unforeseen circumstances) then that should be your first order of business. The best choice, if at all possible, is to hunker down and wait for the massive die-off. After a year it is likely that SOME form of order will be restored, depending on the nature of the crisis, and you can then decide how you wish to interact with that form of order.

No matter which form the collapse takes, if it is severe enough to cause great disruption there will be several phases. *Wave 1* These will be the meatbags which are caught in the initial occurrence who die. If it is severe or affects national level or greater, then shortly following the event there will be others who die to accident, violence, rioters, or even a government attempting to implement martial law. *Wave 2* This will occur a few weeks to a few months after the event. If services are greatly disrupted this will result in a whole lot of meatbags (especially those in large metropolitan cities) to quickly run out of supplies. Dehydration, lack of medicine, and possible toxins or contaminants will kill even more. The elderly and children are likely to be heavily affected. There is also the probability that bodies will be lingering in the streets, growing ripe as they decay and spreading other diseases. *Wave 3* This will be from malnutrition setting in, as most meatbags do not have the skills to grow their own food and scavenging will only last so long. Particularly if the electrical grid is out, backed up sewer systems and rotting food and rotting bodies will cause many outbreaks of plague and death. Those who do not die to starvation or infection will have to contend with desperate meatbags who were not prepared.

Suffice it to say that some of my countermeasures cannot be deployed until after a collapse, but they will be.

Realistically, most people would have or have access to multiple modes of transportation even if SHTF so like a car would be good if you really have to travel a good distance, otherwise conserve it and use a bicycle or canoe or some other non costly mode of transport around your area. This video was fantastic!

[@jhendricks203]

Elon was very timely in his intro of the electric truck !!

[@captaincoolness55]

Since we're talking about alternative vehicle's for shtf, as well as alternative fuels, could you show us a video of how to make said alternative fuels?

[@AceMBP]

Electric golf cart, bicycle with BOB trailer, 4 cycle dual sport motorcycle with quieter muffler. Good video.. Gave me some new ideas. Thanks

[@JasonSpenc]

My favorite mode of transport are LPCs - Leather personnel carriers! Just kidding, Brotha. Great video as always!

[@alexandervannevik3967]

I love to walk but I'm a horseman the best ATV and car . Video tho. Thank you

[@lindahipple4817]

Vet/farrier care for mules will be less that a horse, but no probs. Good horseman/horsewoman knows how to care for their animals. God bless.

[@glennhill1143]

Yes the ariginal off road transportation

[@JasonCunningham-ne4ui]

Reminds me of my first street bike when I was 16! I had a Honda rebel 250, pretty nimble, SUPER cheap on insurance, it got like 100 miles to a gallon of gas! Top speed was only 85 mph, but I used to do it almost everywhere I went, lol. One of those with a set of knobby tires, it would go just about anywhere you wanted to, even with bald street tires, I used to take it MILES into the State gamelands!

A few days ago I saw a man riding an ATV stripped down to the frame, being pulled by a dog sleigh team. I think that is the ultimate vehicle

*Laughs in Cybertruck throughout the entirety of this video*

[@A-G0005]

I mean a Cybertruck is very Useful and Nice, but what if it breaks down? You can’t just simply fix it on your own, and many Mechanics cant either.

Two years later: still laughing?

Of course a pre 1985 vehicle will survive an emp as they are not computerized. Manual transmission Would be best in the case of emp as you can push start them or use a hill to roll start them.

[@AlejandroP1980s]

Elaina Plays what about a 1991 Jeep not much electricity not even ac or radio will it work manual

[@AlejandroP1980s]

Elaina Plays what about a 1997 Toyota truck

[@enriquecastellon6524]

If it has a computer, it will be toast. An all mechanical engine is where it’s at. Manual transmission. Your battery might die also.

[@enriquecastellon6524]

John Mcclane I don’t think anything in the 90’s can survive an em except the early 90’s Dodge Ram Cummins diesel, all mechanical no onboard computer.

[@AlejandroP1980s]

Enrique Castellon but they have power steering and power brakes

[@superhealthchannel9691]

Thanks for making me a bike/e-bike type of survivalist!

[@johndye4625]

My Emergency vehicles are a 1978 moped, or a bicycle I rigged with a gas engine. My bike with the motor uses a jackshaft to use the bike's gears as a transmission so I also get much more speed than you might normally get. I added a spare fuel tank so I also have more range. I set up a trailer so I can haul cargo as well. It's light, fairly quiet and jackrabbit fast and can go places a lot of vehicles can't go.

[@MonkeeJack]

I got a Honda Trail 70 rigged up to pull a wagon it has points ...Soo it can go no matter what

[@codyroden719]

When one has a Chevy Sonic it’s almost impossible to keep above half tank lmao

[@Amber-mv8wz]

The larger breeds of goats can be used to pull small carts or as pack animals. They can thrive on brush found in the woods & on much less food than a horse. (Also edible.) Electric golf carts are another option you might want to consider. A used one can be found cheaper than even an e-bike & they have much greater hauling potential.

[@danreynolds8282]

Good info Sir!
