Bug-Out Vehicle (BOV)

3. • Always keep your Bug-Out Vehicle
topped off. If a further distance is
required, a full tank could give you 3-
400 miles total.
Keep Plenty of Fuel Water is A Priority
• Water is priority #1. You can only
live about three days on water, so
make provisions for everyone to stay
hydrated.

or non-lethal based on your comfort level.

7. Ensure You Have Energy, Light,
and Warmth
• Jacket
• Wool Blanket
• Mylar Blanket and Bed sheet
• Candles and Lanterns
• Road Flares
• Electric Blankets and Portable Inverters
You can make it several days in a vehicle with almost none of these items, but
your comfort levels will be extremely low, and it will reduce your actual survival
expectancy.
