How about bugout boats?

[Mick]

I pulled this pic off the net because it has a serene, tranquil spiritual quality to it (sorry was i rambling), but in a SHTF world it might not be a bad idea to anchor in some quiet backwater like this.
Mind you if that was mine I'd paint it in stripey green camo paint.
There'd be plenty of water and from the river, and we could hunt game birds and rabbits etc around the area, and get a small veg plot going in a nearby secluded field.
Paraffin lamps would provide light, and a small propane cooker for cooking, what more would we need?



PS- Many years ago I actually seriously thought of buying my own boat like that one but ran up against a wall of red tape from the Brit Waterways board, so I never bothered.
Apparently they don't allow you to live permanently on little boats like that, you have to buy a proper expensive houseboat or canal boat, and on top of that the licence fee is very steep.
