>not having 500 liters of gasoline stockpiled
I'm not retarded enough to trust that a 70 liter fuel tank will bring me far when I'm burning 30 liters to move 100 km since city roads will be blocked with destroyed cars. My destination is only 300 km from Vienna, so if I'm efficient at driving I could do it on one tank assuming I can use highways for everything after the first 50 km of escaping this shithole.
>inb4 but fuel expires
The idea is to have the 500 liters in rotation, fill the gas tank from the "oldest" jerry can, and fill the empty jerry cans with fresh fuel. Since I'd use my car at least once a week the fuel would be in constant motion and wouldn't ever expire.

>>74364599
No, my bike is a little thicker than that one, I just didn't want to dig for a picture of my bike. When I haul gear on it, I just use 4 pannier bags on the sides, then strap a backpack to the back rack and sleeping bag/tent fit up on the front wheel.
1.3L Jimny sounds like a better idea
>>74363478
I was reading a book in the expanse series and one of the charavters brought upa really good point when an apocalyptic event happened.
>bicycle
Better than a car in terms of maneuvering through small spaces since roads will be fucked. Better than a horse since you dont waste resources on it and it wont bolt. Faster than walking. With a little know how should be easy to repair if something breaks. Light enough to carry over difficult terrain if necessary. Relatively quiet when in operation.
I was actually surprised by how strong a case they made for bikes.

We have the same shit here in Colorado. All diesels need to pass yearly smog test and only new trucks with DEF are exempt. Our EPA has a mission to make bringing diesels to the US market as difficult as possible (look at the recent VW scandal)
Lucky for me I don't live in a emissions county, living in butt fuck east Colorado has it's benefits I suppose.

>I totally forgot about spare parts availability for a Cummins
Well shit I'd have to import 3 of the fuckers all in one go to make sure I'm properly kitted out.
Hypothetically, maybe its a better idea to go to a wrecking yard and buy some old truck diesel engines.
>shit reliability
>excellent fuel flexibility
I'm pretty sure they exhaust test cars here when the annual registration check is done, which means that I couldn't register a Cummins for daily driving anyway.
>>74365307
I wouldn't steal from a fellow white
Notice I said lawyer...
Or nu male

>>74365419
You got to use what's available to your area.
Isuzu and Mercedes diesels swaps are a thing where I live, Some guy swapped a Mercedes sprinter diesel out of a UPS truck near me even. I would expect you could find something in Europe.
>shit reliability
For a Cummins?
These engines run in gen sets and telehandlers hundreds of thousands of hours, they are reliable as fuck son.
>>74365372
It will carry not just enough for a day or two's camping, but enough to live comfortably away from civilization for a week or more, provided you find water to filter. The bike is a bitch to slow down with that much weight though, and long downhill rides are harrowing.
>>74365765
Shit reliability was referencing buying locally available but used stuff.
I know how good a Cummins engine runs.
The most common vehicles around here which would sport the 400 HP I'd like to see from a pickup truck are 6x2 box trucks and tractor cabs for trailers. I'd say DAF and MAN are more common than Mercedes and Volvo, the remaining trucks all being equally uncommon.
Europe is cucked when it comes to motor vehicles, which is probably why we export all of them.
I know someone in the countryside who bought a Russian military surplus KAMAZ truck with the utility box in the back. Only question with that thing is spare parts and fuel. Military trucks guzzle fuel like there's no tomorrow, in exchange you get a net payload of like 4-5 tons, comfy space in the back (watertight as well), and good performance in horrible road conditions.

I remember happening on some UAZ trucks for sale cheap. Most cheap military stuff in the US is obviously US equipment though. You used to be able to buy duce and a half trucks for 2k and they would burn practically anything that was flammable

It gives you options, you can push/pull vehicles and take it offroad. You can always abandon it as well if you need to, and it will haul a shit load of gear.
The truck isn't really the solution but it is a means to take you to one.

Hmm, I was thinking of a motorcycle because they can go anywhere, even when the roads are choked, don't burn a lot of fuel and can carry some stuff. But a bicycle could work too, I guess.

This, maneuvering a bike through a forest to find secure camping is far easier than trying to find parking for a car or truck, and you'll be able to hide from attention much easier.
>>74367453
I have seen bicycles with very small motors before, usually carrying no more than a gallon of fuel but very efficient. Switching between pedaling and using the engine to climb hills would seem ideal if you have access to fuel along your journey, and can carry both the weight of the motor and your camping gear.

Horses run on water from a ditch and grass... I see that as potentially more useful than anything that requires any kind of fuel or batteries. A bike is even better though imo, because I think they're easier to fix than a horse. And easier to stash/hide away for a while if you don't need it.

>>74370051
Mechanical motor is a must.
People go full retard with the EMP thing, when the fact is most things in your car will still work. (window switches for exammple). I know the auto trans in my FJ80 will default to manual "limp home" mode (first 3 gears only) if the computer stops working, but even then I'm planing on swapping a manual into it.
A safe bet would be something carbonated and manual.
>>74371031

You still need to own, house and feed it right now if you plan to have it during SHTF. It's about what can practically fit in your current lifestyle.

In a situation where you've run out of fuel or your vehicle has broken down, a bicycle will likely (under most circumstances I can think of) help you make more efficient use of those calories.. People don't ride bikes because they use more energy than walking, anon. They use bikes because you can reach higher speeds/cover greater distances on the same amount or less muscle power.

Btw, I just remembered that my dad owns a boat. Maybe we'll retreat to an island or a remote (as remote as one of the most densely populated countries in the world gets anyway) field somewhere when the looters inevitably crawl from the cities.
>>74377863

>a pedal boat?
Not pedal perhaps, but you can always paddle boats by their very nature.. Or use a boom, if you don't want to die of heatstroke (and if it isn't too deep for your boom). It's main source of power is a petrol engine, but it being a boat makes it inherently versatile (as long as it's in the water obv.).. I could tow it while swimming if I absolutely had to. Or with a sail boat..
