Howdy folks and greetings from the Great Plains of North Texas!
With so many people on Steemit talking about the End coming, the collapse of society, and even a Zombie Apocalypse and the need to plan your escape route...well...I figured I better start looking for an escape vehicle.
I was thrilled to find a company that makes Doomsday campers right over there in Dacono, Colorado. They're called Earth Roamers and here's one of their models, the LTI:
Light but super tough
The entire body is made of carbon fiber so it's much stronger than conventional aluminum camper bodies. It's built on a massive Ford Super Duty chassis.
They're all hand-made to order so you can design your own interior.
Not bad huh?
This thing has a 100 gallon fresh water tank and a 65 gallon gray water tank. It's a diesel with a 95 gallon fuel tank.
It's got solar power too with panels on the roof that generate 1,320 watts of power and a 11,000 watt-hour lithium ion battery pack to run equipment on the inside.
It sleeps four but you also have the couch and over the cab bunk so you could squeeze six in there.
They do make a larger model also, the LTS:
The bad news
The price. They start at $590,000. lol.. What's amazing is that the price isn't stopping anyone. They have an 8 month waiting list! Jason Momoa bought one, I think it fits his personality.
I was really salivating over the LTI until I saw the price. I reckon I'll have to settle for the redneck version:
If you can find a junked earth mover that would work too. If you're headin out into the wilderness you gotta have the height for the zombies and Big Foot. lol.
Let me know if any of you are prepping for rough times ahead.
Thanks for reading folks, God bless you all!

Howdy again zirochka! I was trying to give you a 3 cent vote but I failed the first time so I took the vote off and tried again so if you see a removed vote that's why. It still didn't work so I'll have to make up for it on another comment that you make. lol.

Oh, thank you so much, but don't worry! Besides, I am not sure when it is worth to upvote comments with #newsteem dust threshold

Well, my understanding is that it has to be 3 cents or else it does to dust. I will ask someone to make sure though.

I believe the threshold is .02, but the upvote curve means you'd have to give a .08 vote for it to register .02, maybe even more than .08. I have stopped upvoting comments (which is frowned upon in newsteem like so many other things anyway) and go upvote a post of the commenter's instead.

Oh that's a great point sir abitcoinskeptic. The yacht sounds great because you would be away from all the chaos until you had to refuel. I guess you'll have to buy both!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I'm always wondering how one would refuel during a disaster, stopping by a gas station seems dangerous. If it isn't blown up, chances are it's a trap.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Very true sir abitcoinskeptic. If you had the means to buy such a vehicle as the EarthRoamer I would assume you would have something planned out like having your own fuel tanks in a hidden location. Great point though because we know the gas at the stations would be gone in a day.

RE STEEMED!
Howdy Jonboy! Great article on this doomsday RV. This thing is badass! You had me sold until I saw that price too. It sucks only people who have money can afford one of these things. I wonder if they have a hippie version HA HA. Maybe a doomsday Volkswagen Van HA HA.

Hahaha, but a doomsday camper cannot help, unless they turn it into an amphibious vehicle that can travel on the seas.
Maybe we should look at a floating camper hahaha.

Howdy Janton! Long time no see, lol. Well I ad the surgery this week Wednesday, but now I can catch up. I can type with two fingers on my left hand and of course my right is fine.
Anyway, this vehicle is really something and even if I don't believe in doomsday I wouldn't mind to have one. My son in law would have to be really nice to me if I do lol.

Howdy Miss lena! oh so the surgery was a great success, yes? Does it hurt? It has to be sore I think. I love that vehicle too, and big enough that it would fit your daughter, grandkids, and son-in-law, yay! lol.

Howdy Janton! The surgery went well, thank you for asking! I have Tylenol 3 for the pain, but it makes me sleepy so I can take only one before I go to sleep. At day time I just take extra strength Advil.
And yes, that vehicle would be perfect for us, lol.

I'm not sure how useful that would be in the "end times," to be honest. Without a robust oil sector, gasoline wouldn't be available and you'd be a lot less mobile. I wouldn't mind having one, though, for a bachelor pad. It would be great for a travel photographer, too: not so easy for someone to break in and take your equipment.
If you wnat to go full-on Mad Max, though, I saw a site that had tracked vehicles for sale. If you were good with a welding machine, you could totally make yourself a tank-house. It might even be cheaper than the $500k!

A tank house! lol..I agree, that would be the way to go in a Mad Max scenario. I figured that if you could afford a million dollar Earth Roamer then you would have a system for fuel worked out. If you were buying it for that purpose.
For a traveling bachelor pad, wow, that would be fantastic!
