I have the choice of two BOVs (mine & SWMBOs), Nissan Navarra D23 Double Cab and a Nissan X-Trail.

Tom,
Sounds like the situation we would all like to be in.

Well she's my best prep and due to our location/situation is gonna be essential in a whole range of shtf scenarios.
A lot of the stuff is just good sense with a landrover and especially a 23 year old one so it was easy to go that one step further. A good location to bug out to would be the ideal addition now as if our home goes down the landy is our only destination!

The landie always seems like a good choice especially the older ones - solid engineering, reliable and more or less bullet proof. The only draw back as far as I am concerned right now would be the fuel consumption - but if you get a diesel you could have a few options there with regard to what flavour you run with if supplies hit rock bottom.
As things are at present if you can get one pre 1970, I think, you do not necessarily have to pay road tax!!?

At the moment we have a SWB Transit van fitted out as a very basic camper which acts both as a mobile retreat, day van, and commercial vehicle for collecting logs for the stove, and we have a Mitsubishi shotgun pinin 1.8 for EDC and Recce use.

Jeep wrangler 4 door CRD, I can carry a stack of gear, sleep 2 in the back and if cross-country is required (and it will be to get to my BOL) it does a good job.

As I live where I live If I tried to store anything in my vehicle it'd be gone after one day...

I certainly hope we will, I sure could use a vacation from this silly shit."
