What should I consider if bugging out with an enclosed trailer? With a large family, I could not reasonably carry much long-term bugout gear in the bugout vehicle.
How can/should I harden the trailer to prevent break-ins?
How do I keep the trailer from being stolen in its entirety? Would locks/chains be sufficient?
Could I safely carry enough fuel in the trailer (perhaps 100gal) for a long distance bugout?
How should the trailer be disguised (or can it be disguised) to hide the fact that it contains valuable bugout/survival supplies at a time when the contents would be needed by nearly anyone I encounter? Perhaps load the back of the trailer with frivolous junk so as to obscure the real contents?
What is the possibility that some government official might retain or sieze the contents 'for the greater good'.
Am I increasing the likelyhood of breakdowns by carrying the additional weight of the trailer? Should I add to the weight of the trailer by bringing repair equipment (additional spare tires, replacement belts and hoses, etc)?
