I have been looking at my BOV recently and wondering how best to protect it if I'm forced to Bug in for a while before I can use it to get the f#ck out of Dodge!
How do I stop it being stolen or looted? Or worse, set fire to in some riot or other post SHTF disturbance? I have made it look as inconspicuous as I can, never washing it has built up a nice layer of grime and leaving all the dents and scratches on the body work have lessened its appeal to would be thieves.
I was thinking that I could take a wheel off or maybe let a couple of tyres down, but what if I needed to bug out unexpectedly in the middle of the night or leave in a hurry during the day and don't have time to replace the wheel or pump up the tyres?? Potentialy I could be trapping myself in a bad situation!
What have you guys done or intend to do to protect your BOV's from possible damage or theft if you are forced to leave it somewhere before you can use it?
