  • My Grey Man Bug Out Vehicle Loadout For SHTF | Practical Preparedness
    Every prepper needs a way to escape and bug out in case a SHTF event forces you to. But, is your truck, car or SUV ready for the journey?
    My truck is set up in a way that allows it to look and act the part of grey man while being plenty capable in a bug out scenario. Of course a lift kit, huge tires, a roof rack and cattle plow would allow me to rampage through the apocalypse like Mad Max on steroids in my BOV but, that is not practical for a daily driver, short road trip scenario for most people. Hopefully this gives you some ideas about what to keep in your vehicle for that one time things don't go the way you had planned.
    Thanks again to Grey Man Tactical for helping out with this video. The Vehicle Seatback RMP is an awesome way to get things organized within your bug out vehicle!

    I would keep the med kit in the center console so if your vehicle is pinned somewhere you can access it instead of going to the backseat. At least keep a tourniquet behind the wheel.

    The number of people whose idea of grey man means (I'm not wearing FULL kit, just a war belt, BDUs and carrying a rifle!) is wild. He's keeping his truck looking like all the rest. I agree with many of the comments here - many of those things would be hugely helpful to have, but if the truck is loaded for low profile evac, it's self defeating.

    *PREPPER PRO TIP #3*
    8:42 *So just in case you get a slow tire leak & for whatever reason you do not have the time or it is not safe to change your tire, always keep a couple of cans of "Fix-A-Flat" or that "Smart Spare" as shown at **20:57** inside for easy access because you may not be the one that'll have to deal with the flat. You have plenty of space under that seat. Screw the can on to your intake valve, it automatically airs up the tire & seals it so you can drive on. (WARNING! The substance that gums up the leak from the inside can also mess up any tire pressure sensor inside your wheel rim, but if is chaos then the sacrifice may be worth replacing the $100+ sensor later)*

  • @AnUprightAnimal

    Just a little advice from a mechanic, Get rid of those garbage Autolite spark plugs ASAP!!! I seriously wouldn't run those in a weed eater or go kart, much less an every day vehicle and even less in my bug out/SHTF vehicle. Just like with the oil and antifreeze, get the correct spark plugs for your vehicle. I believe the OEM for the new Tundras are Denso Double Platinum or Platinum, not copper and most definitely not Autolite. You would seriously be better off running burned out plugs over those.

      Color might not matter as much as it seems. At least where I live. Any vehicle can be seen for miles. Especially the dust cloud behind them. But, I would argue that a lifted truck with light bars. roof racks, brush guard, snorkel, etc would get more attention regardless of color than a plain jane red vehicle would. Just my thought! When you buy used, generally price and practicality win over color. Or at least that's been my experience.

Of course I'm not really worried about aliens so much as I am of what others are capable of doing for survival. Carjacking, murder, etc. Not just about having supplies and a way to bug out, but a plan to avoid certain situations or ability to react to unexpected ones.

    If an SHTF event was a nuclear attack, then your TOYOTA and every other vehicle made since the early 1980's isn't going anywhere. The magnetic pulse will kill their electronics. So your bug out vehicle should be something that uses a points style ignition and no electronics! Like my 69 FORD F100.

    FYI that tow strap should be rated for a more if you're using it to recover your Tundra. A good rule of thumb is just over double your GVWR. That being said those straps with built in clips are known to be cheap and have inflated ratings. I suggest one with a loop on each end, then buy the metal D shackles. Either that or get a kinetic rope. They're used a lot in recovery because they're easier on the vehicle (there is some springiness to them) and allow the recovery vehicle to pick up some momentum without posing more harm to the stuck vehicle.

    From personal experience I have found having a collapsible 1/2 socket wrench for removing oil drain plug and tire lug nut is so handy. The wrench given to most vehicles are too small for the leverage needed. I’d also recommend getting a worthless Chinese half inch torque wrench for the Lugnuts removal only.Because tightening them too hard tire can break the lug nut during travel. Always have a top-of-the-line tire plug kit for those nails and screws that the tire attracts + (kneepads or cardboard).
    If you’ve never changed the tire on your vehicle do a trial run so you know what to do on the roadside in the middle of the night while it’s raining on you.
    Case in point my Toyota 2018 Tacoma pick up truck.The mentally deficient Toyota designers make a special adapter key that work in conjunction with a rod for security purposes. Doesn’t work and it broke on me good thing I was changing the tire in front of my garage 11am Saturday that I had access to a hose clamp to fix their design flaw. Not to mention it took far too long to get the tire when needed. My 1997 blazer was so much easier to change the tire due to design genius A.k.a. the kiss method. Too bad they designed an engine that couldn’t handle the California smog Gestapo. Crushed at 80,000 miles🤢🤮🤮.
