Sam,<br><br>Gee, that's impossible to answer - you've left too much to my imagination. I'm guessing you mean "bug-out" transportation and I'm further guessing that you're thinking about going solo... from an urban area to a "wilderness" area. If you're asking a "TEOTWAWKI" question, this is the wrong forum, 'tho I guess you could ask to move the thread to the Campfire forum (that's up to Doug).<br><br>What event(s) are you planning to survive and what is your general plan? How long (duration) are you planning to "survive" and how do your wheels figure into that? Sounds like you're thinking of the Toy as "stage 1" and the ATV as "stage 2", but again, I'm guessing. How do you haul the ATV? Trailer?<br><br>The simple answer to your question is to figure out what you need to do and then figure out how to best use what you have to accomplish that. Just like any survival situation.<br><br>Don't forget walking. On three occasions so far, we've avoided being thrust into a SAR survival situation on late hunts in the Rockies by simply walking in and walking/snowshoeing out instead of doing some macho nonsense with our 4wds and/or ATVs. Hundreds of others were not so fortunate, especially one year - many heliocopter evacs and abandoned vehicles and equipment. Sometimes walking is best. (Or horses, in Chris K's case <grin>)<br><br>If you can frame your question a bit to narrow it down, I'll offer my opinions for your consideration. For example, does your Toy have Birfield joints? If so, do you have the capability to repair them when they break? It's usually an essential capability with desperate "off-road" use of a Toy, because they don't break at a convenient time, but no big deal if you're prepared for it. This may be irrelevant, depending on what you're planning for.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Scouter Tom
