I'd have to say the biggest expense I've shelled out for my prepper lifestyle, more than my whole cache of tinned food or fancy Berkey filters, was my Land Rover Freelander 2 which I bought last year specifically for prepping.
I just had visions of me bugging out to Scotland or somewhere else with my kids in a disaster scenario and there not being enough room in the car if I had to stack all of my bug out gear as well as the many boxes of food stores I had. They stopped making them in 2014 so mine is a 2011, and still cost over £8k, but has been so dependable and I know I could take it off road if needed, will have all the space I could need and I could even live in it if push came to shove. I think the next thing I would buy would be a caravan to stick on the back of the 4x4 should I need to bug out, or at the very least a tow trailer and/or roof rack to double the amount of space. I did an article for my own site on how to live in your car, and although I researched well and made many good points, I personally would not like to live in a car for more than a week.
Has anyone else bought their car or another vehicle to cater to their prepping mindset?
