now i could just take less , but id rather not.
this lweaves me with 2 options.
work my son and daughter like hell untill they can carry a decent weight, and this still may not be enough for a long term semi-permanent bugout.
other option build something to carry all the excess weight leaving my arms free tocarry a good weapon.
ive decided to have a go at building a robotic vehicle to do all the heavy carrying.
the idea is to use a dissability scooter (have you seen the size of some of the people on these) with the seat removed and with a cart fitted onto it instead.
this would be controlled by my son or partner. leaving me totally free to defend and not weighed down at all.
i know it would involve making sure i have a battery charged at all times. but i also plan on building a roof for the cart with a solar panel on to recharge the battery when not in use.
my bug out is less than 3 miles away, and a single charge could easily make this distance fully loaded.
any oppinions and ideas would be greately appreciated.
when not being used as a cart it would be simoply a solar battery charger. charging a large battery.
providing me with limited power at the bugout.
once on site, it could be easily adapted and used for allsorts.
raised up , its rotational power could be harnessed to operate pumps , saws , etc.
the possibilities are endless.
Why not just buy a cheap MOT failed car and strip it out and keep off road? You may even be able to get one for free if you let it be known that you're looking.
With a very small amount of monthly maintenance it will be able to be kept in good enough condition to make the short journey you are contemplating.
