Gas may become scares. I see this being viable and even great but only for so long. Eventually horses will take over because they run on the same fuel we do.
@@notsoupmotoI bet with a nice reliable trail bike that can thrive with 87 gasoline you can siphon gas from cars for an extremely long time. Old gas will gunk up carbs faster but you can clean carbs with simple solutions and tools
I honestly don't feel like writing a lot of stuff but I just wanna say. Great video, I also LOVE the apocalyptic genre and talked about exactly this with my brother recently. Having a fuel-efficient off road bike like a dirt bike or even an ADV bike would be a really useful asset if this did happen. Of course, in any everyday situation, an apocalypse would be horrible, but occasionally the thought does tickle a little bit. All things considered, it could be kind of cool. Apparently I did write a lot but as I said great video, you earned a new sub. Definitely underrated.
Haha yeah I agree! Definitely would suck and don’t want it to happen but would be kindaaaaa cool 👀 in a strange way Appreciate the comment and glad you enjoyed!
@@notsoupmoto If you want to experience lawlessness and fighting for survival, just go to Mexico. You'll be glad we have civilization when (if) you come back.
I came across a car meeting where they were blocking the road some people in car turn around with kid in their car but here i was on my trail bike … should have choose a other day for their meeting 🤣
I have several camo colors of spray paint I use on my rifles. If the time comes, my dirt bike plastics will be getting sprayed down to camouflage my bikes better. Another thing I did to one of my bikes is install 1913 sections for bright weapon lights and IR illuminators for riding with night vision.
Wow! Finally Something That I Like to talk about, I've been Prepping since 2011, Even bought land off grid. I never really though about using a dirtbike but i guess it will come in Handy if something happens to my 4WD Truck. Thank You Very Much For Sharing this content become SHTF is Coming Sooner than Your Think 👍
I love the thought experiment but I don’t know how practical it would actually be. My bike can be heard from a mile away and could easily be taken from me in that kind of situation
thinking about it a Crf 300L would eliminate most downsides. 1: it is very fuel efficient, if you put the big acerbis tank on it you get like 350-500 km out of a tank 2: it is one of the most quiet bikes on the road 3: for a offroad bike you have very low service intervals 4: if you have the right equipment put on you can carry some things on the back. the 2 downsides for this you get with very low power and a heavy bike. but i think this would probably be my bike of choice.
i'd personally take a trail 125, internationally proven bulletproof engine, more fuel efficient than any hybrid car, easy centrifugal clutch, you can strap things at the back, thing even comes with an engine snorkel.
Great video! You mentioned it being easy to steal a dirt bike if you were to leave it alone, but, as far as a vehicle goes, they are by far the easiest to hide, just get a decent size scrim, tip the dirt bike on its side, and throw said scrim over it and some leaves over that, and voila, you have an inconspicuous pile of leaves that no one will be any the wiser to unless they walk directly into it. And even if you don’t do that, it’s not like theft isn’t extremely likely anyway in a scenario like that, no matter what it is; dirt bike, car, food, medicine, you name it. Even now when the times are good(ish), there’s still the potential of your things being stolen. My point being, it isn’t necessarily a disadvantage of dirt bikes and more so an unfortunate reality for all of your possessions, given a situation such as that. (Call me ~political figure~ for how much I ramble pointlessly)
@@salazam Pretty sure everyone on RUclips has access to many, many online dictionaries. But, since I’m nice, kinda, it’s a type of camouflage which essentially amounts to a textured piece of material (what exactly it is depends on who you get it from and what the quality of it is) with either holes in it, or it’s kind of cut to be designed like leaves. It’s pretty good on its own for something the size of a person when layered with other types of camoflauge (snipers and ghillie suits, kinda), but for something the size of a dirt bike or larger, it could benefit extremely well from being coated in leaves or other plant matter. I’m no camouflage expert so that’s a pretty amateur explanation, but as I said, we’re on RUclips, pretty sure you have access to the internet, and even if you somehow don’t have the two of those together, guess what, I know for a fact there’s also RUclips videos detailing scrim and its use cases.
@@eatingwithoutyoutube I get what you’re saying but e-bikes are a thing now and also backpacks exist. I agree the noise factor to combustion engine bikes is a big disadvantage but I wouldn’t say it’s something to write off completely. Firearms for example are also extremely loud, but I bet you wouldn’t say firearms would be impractical in an apocalypse.
Dirt Bikes for Prepared Citizens by Dirty civilian Yeah I like the genre of media as well or how useful all the safety equipment would be against zombie bites lmaooo
I was going to comment this! They also made a video about electric dirt bikes (“E-bikes for prepared citizens,” the title is, I believe) and a third video comparing the two and weighing out the pros and cons (that one was titled “Dirt bikes vs e-bikes for prepared civilians,” I think).
@@notsoupmoto I believe that it was one of those that were Dirty Civilian was using, they look pretty sick! I wouldn’t personally buy one now with their limited range and long charge time (which I am sure will approve eventually), simply because a typical dirt bike typically has two to three times the range and can be filled up in seconds at the pump or a minute with a gas can. Though I can definitely see the advantages; lack of a clutch and general lack of maintenance for beginners who have extra cash to throw around is great. That just doesn’t appeal or apply to me, though, since both of those would carry over to my car when I get one (I want to do my own maintenance and ideally get one with a manual transmission), and I’m low on personal funds
@@Cringetoefur yeah they’re definitely not for everyone but I’m also excited for when technology improves and some of the range issue gets taken care of
Not me lol That’s why I said four stroke trail bike would be ideal. Maintenance intervals are wayyyyy more spread out compared to competition dirt bikes. ADV would definitely work in some cases but they massive so it would kinda defeat the purpose of getting to many places larger vehicles like atvs could not get to

Gas may become scares. I see this being viable and even great but only for so long. Eventually horses will take over because they run on the same fuel we do.
Very true… honestly in that case maybe E bikes would be a better option if you could get solar or other means of producing electricity going
@@notsoupmotoI bet with a nice reliable trail bike that can thrive with 87 gasoline you can siphon gas from cars for an extremely long time. Old gas will gunk up carbs faster but you can clean carbs with simple solutions and tools
@@smward1126yeah and I guess if you had some big gas cans you could probably siphon and store a bunch somewhere safe to get you by for a while
Speak for yourself. I don't eat grass and hay.
@@notsoupmoto yeah if u get like a surron and a solar generator u have infinite fuel basically

@salazam Don’t hate on Mexico dawg. Not cool 👎🏼
@@notsoupmoto Ok Brazil, same difference. It's all 3rd world below the border.
@salazam U should stop watching the news and just live your life man
I think a 2 person team with one person on a bike and one on like a utility atv would be the best combination for an apocalyptic scenario
So true you’d have way more ability to carry more weight with the ATV but could still scout ahead and clear trail on the dirt bike
Oh yeah, the UTV would be huge, or even an ATV

Riding with night vision would be so cool! That’s a cool idea with the illuminators. Would be a neat video to make in the future

Very true! And I agree, not necessarily a disadvantage just to dirt bikes. I hadn’t thought of it that way. Thanks for the input!
No one knows what a scrim is, dude. And I won't have a dictionary in my bug-out bag.

You definitely didn’t have to do that haha but thanks for the explanation it was very helpful 🙏🏼
@@notsoupmoto You sir are very welcome!
You get out of city and thats it. Then you need a bicycle, wheelbarrow, showel, saw, axe, bow, rope, traps... sugar... And skills.
the noise from bikes make them so impractical and they only transport ppl not things so its also just impractical
@@eatingwithoutyoutube I get what you’re saying but e-bikes are a thing now and also backpacks exist. I agree the noise factor to combustion engine bikes is a big disadvantage but I wouldn’t say it’s something to write off completely.

Could you do more videos on the CRF 125 FB Please. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the suggestion! Yes I’ll definitely consider making more videos on the 125f in the future
That was an interesting and fun video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool video👍

I have a KTM 350 excf, it's a real doomsday bike.
Niceee
Are you going to do the ECU by chance?
probably not anytime soon. i'd end up doing suspension first
Perhaps a carburetor would be beneficial?
A carbureted bike?
No... you'll need an adv bike... who is doing an engine rebuild after 100 hours on a dirt bike in the midst of people tracking your trail
Not me lol
That’s why I said four stroke trail bike would be ideal. Maintenance intervals are wayyyyy more spread out compared to competition dirt bikes.
