Same thing you'd do with one BP haha.

Curious now what you mean by a Tranny Sunna. To me that means BP's translation, or a Trangia cook set.

i'm assuming a TRANSIT van, again concealment would be an issue!

keeping warm,you have got to have something to do[or do you ] on those cold winter nights

[Scythe13]

Transit van, that makes sense. Or a VW Transporter.

I saw an old lorry the other day, had a hooped canvas cover over the back, looked like a motorised version of the old American "covered wagon"!

Sorry Scythe, I wasn't very clear, was I? NR's advice was the military mantra for camming up a vehicle, or anything else - my contribution about carparks was meant to be tongue-in-cheek...

GG, It may have been tongue in cheek but it was a viable option and effective too.

After a bit of scrounging through the local pharmacies for supply of the life sustaining meds I require, and no one else will want, my vehicles will remain parked in the drive, just like the millions of other vehicles in my part of the world.

If you live in a suburban or rural area the presence of vehicles is not going to draw attention any more than the presence of any other normal item.

Absence of vehicles in the drive would draw attention to my location. In my part of the world people are not looking for other people to rob, they will be looking for abandoned places with no people. You go poking around someone's house and you are going to get killed.

My vehicle tanks are kept at 1/2 full always. That is 70-100 liters of fuel I need for running the tractor, tilling the garden, cutting wood and occasional use of the generator. That much should last me for the first year.

If things are not back to normal after a year the vehicles are a treasure trove of raw materials for other life sustaining uses. Carpets, seat cover fabric, glass, wiring, led 12v bulbs, alternators for power systems, batteries for the solar system, heat treated metals for tools, tire tread for shoe soles, sheet metal for arrowheads. A nice transit van would make an excellent chicken house!

Attempts to camo my vehicles under tarps and nets would draw more attention than the vehicles themselves.

This post has got me thinking about long term transport after the shit has settled a bit....as a biker it was always going to be a bike and i really fancied a diesel one but the yanks are taking forever with there mil spec oil burner based on a 650 kawasaki and the german handbuilt sommer based on an indian royal enfield with a static diesel motor in it is to dear at 7500euro's so i think i'm going to have to fashion my own....honda cg125 with some mods i'm thinking purely on economy ease of use and simple maintainence grounds. both my current bikes are to big unwieldy and uneconomical at about 50mpg

Those last two photos shows what I was saying about not having the cam net touching the vehicle [still looks like a vehicle],.. about covering all glass with something like hessian,.... remembering the wheels, or in this case the tracks,... and think about the background color, you need to match it
