I think "Scientists" is being used very loosely here. “Just 100 Survivors Remain Uninfected After 100 Days” Yeah ok, the fact they don't account for survivors killing zombies tells me they are just playing a numbers game vs infection rate.
I.e If there are 7 billion people and x number are infected at rate T and they then infect y number who in turn infects z number etc etc until everyone is infected then it probably is only 6 months. It won't work that way in real life as we know there are MANY variables.

Alot more than any quad can carry that's for sure. If I need to bug out then its highly likely its long term. I wouldn't bother taking a quad with me, too much wasted space vs supplies. I would have one at the BOL already. Don't forget a loaded up quad en route to a BOL is going to be much more of a target than a 4x4 which people are used to seeing everyday which makes them grey. A quad draws attention, especially as a BOV on the roads. Depends on the situation. Sure though IMO 99% of the time 4x4 > than quad. YMMV. |

BOV probably not so great for the cons you listed. Main being size, just to small to really fit the role of a BOV. Now a Bug Out Location Vehicle (BOLV), they would be ideal. Quicker and more agile plus will go more places and use less fuel doing so than the BOV. It depends on the individual situation. How much gear do you want to carry? etc etc. In my end of the world every third vehicle I see has a quad on the back. Alot more than any quad can carry that's for sure.

I usually drop some hints but this year I couldn't really think of much, plus everything I'd like is getting too expensive for anyone to get me as a gift so I'm expecting stuff I don't really need. In any case I bought my self some new toys |

I have several of the Klean Kanteens, all different sorts. Be sure to wash them a few times first, I think they must wash them out with bleach as several of mine had a strong smell/taste of bleach for the first few times I used them.

It certainly sounds good from the above, just assuming since everyone hasn't jumped to it there are still other quirks.

Pretty cool but I'd like to read another V's story and more info on practical use of Vanadium setups from an article that is not so terribly bias.

2. How long have you called yourself a Prepper/Prepared for when SHTF?
Less than 5 years
5 - 10 years
21 - 30 years
31 - 40 years
41 + years
No 10-20 years?

Agree with Austemplar. A plane would be like a magnet for people, even if not to rob you they would see you as being help for them.
I think though it could be very handy at the start to get you quickly and relatively safely out of a populated area and to your remote location, if you have one. After that though I wouldn't use it unless to leave for good so as to prevent drawing attention to your location.

Not much left of it.
Wonder how a 9kg extinguisher would go being in a car long term and subjected to the temperature differentials of inside a car. I'd imagine it would shorten the life span some.

Yep, doesn't hurt to have a few, or a lot, of noise makers around the place |

Morgo, if he made a statement to police that's all they need to get a conviction. I know this from personal experience, when I was young, far too aggressive and not as smart as I thought I was. Ah yes, well if he admitted guilt in a statement to the police already then hes a little less well off. |

The old guy with the bow is in a world of trouble. Is he though? Its unlikely the bad guy is going to come forward and press charges against him and really there is no solid evidence against the old guy nor proof that anyone was indeed shot in the ass. |
