You start with a deuce and a half.......
Hmmm, what comes after a deuce and a half?

If a five-ton isn't big enough...
Then you need a tractor-trailer 
900 series 5-tons are going cheap right now....
The government is dumping them on the market in large numbers currently, so prices are way down. This is the time to buy if one has thought about being the owner of a large military vehicle.

They are an immensely useful vehicle, and not particularly hard to drive, although I was never licensed in the Army for anything bigger than an 1114.
just curious. but roughly what are the prices? i road in
them in the army never thought of owning one, but....... what kinda mileage do they get [ diesel fuel i assume ]
thanks
Watch this one and see

They have about 300 of them on line starting in the next few weeks; this one is the only one in AK. Last time I looked they were bringing a couple grand, but that has been a few years ago. Buyer is responsible for getting the thing moved home once they buy it, which would be a bloody fortune if you buy one from the lower 48. The truck may or may not run. They use the same 855 Cummins engine and Allison automatic trans that were common in commercial trucks once upon a time, so parts for those shouldn't be difficult to find. Fuel mileage? I don't know that we ever kept track, but I doubt you'd ever get out of the mid single digits. I could be wrong. They'll haul anything, just about anywhere, with central tire inflation that comes in handy on soft surfaces. Their only real limitation for military use is that they were too heavy to be moved by helicopter, which I doubt would be an issue for most civilian users.

Bug out: to leave in a big, darn hurry

A bug out bag (BOB if you're cool) should be packed and at the ready with everything you will need for a predetermined amount of time...days to 'forever'. It would, of course, include the means to defend oneself or harvest game. This would be a BOG (again, if you're cool).
Well, that was plan A, range fire made leaving a possibllity

otherwise yes stay put. I will be making changes to better withstand a fire immediately.
