Bugout Vehicles for Normal People: Field Reference 4 (FR-4)

Odds are you spend a lot of time in your vehicle, commuting or working or recreational travel. What if something happens while you are in your car? Do you have what you need if you are stranded on the interstate in a snowstorm? If you must evacuate your home due to a natural disaster, you will need a vehicle you can trust to get you or your family out of harm's way. This book is the place to start.

This handbook will help you outfit your vehicle to take on everything from a minor crisis to the often talked about societal collapse. The context for this manual is always that of the Professional Citizen Project - we write manuals for normal folks. These are proven techniques you can use to help you survive. This is not another list of irrelevant prepper fantasy gear or overly expensive off-road components; the approaches are carefully and thoughtfully written to help you setup a readiness vehicle. This book is applicable to both seasoned and new preppers looking for a way to stay safe on the road during a societal or environmental crisis.
This is not some click bait post-Apocalyptic bug out vehicle (BOV) make-believe manual. This is focused on the "normal" person who wants useful techniques. Yes, some of the approaches we discuss include more capable survival rigs and some team tactical applications post-collapse, but all these concepts and techniques apply to everyone in some way. This book will help you identify the gear and tools you need for a daily driver that will keep you safe in a crisis and also prepare your rig for the worst-case scenario.
If you are a seasoned off-roader or a square body restoration guy there is still tons of relevant info for you here, but these endeavors are not the focus. Nor does this FR cover training / driving your vehicle; this is not a manual that teaches you combat or pursuit driving.
You will get the most out of this work after you have read the CM-1 Individual Tactical Skills manual and fully understand the context or the "why" you should do these things.
Finally, this reference is written by a human...100 percent by me. No AI written garbage. This info is in its purest form; original content driven by decades of experience and current research to assess modern bugout vehicle accessories and tools. I hope you get great value from it.
