      None of these folks have any CB's, gmrs, vhf, HF, 2 meter/440, shortwave, police scanners, Sirius sat, Z-boost, true GPS
      NOTHING, ZILTCH, NADA, ZERO
      They think that crappie lil cell phone is gonna do anything when they TRULY need it an emergency situation.
      My van has the capability of talking to everything I've mentioned, plus aircraft and ships as well. I have 1 radio that when I key the mic, ( if hear them anywhere in the world ), they can hear my too. Anywhere! Africa, Russia, China UK, Australia, etc ...

      ​@@korkiemc6129 Yeah man, I totally feel ya - but that's not the point of this van. It's a camping van, not a bugout van. It can be easilly added though. Stick an anytone 578 and a Yaesu ft-891 up front both mars modded, tri band (you forgot 1.25m) and a screwdriver antenna, couple of HT's in the back. Throw an antenna you can set up for NVIS on 40m and 80m in a cabinet somewhere - because you're probably going to want to talk to people a little closer than Europe or Africa. Don't really need any more space to do that.
      Also that's not off gridding, that's comms - and it's also not priority 1 for surviving ... pretty much any of the scenarios involving bugging out - from natural disaster, to mad max - you need power, water, and food more than comms.

      I need to save up another 10 grand here then I get to make my first and sell it. Then make 2 then sell those... then make 10 then sell all 10 of them... then hire idiots to do it for me for 1/5 the costs. Then buy my own island.

      @@NorthFloridaMan I would think you could get a decent van for 10-15K. Then after another 10K in upgrades, Don't forget that you might want to take the engine out and put something MUCH larger in it. Big rims and huge wheels so this van can practically go Off-Road. (Well at least it could mow the lawn, or do cookies in a field). After the engine you might want to tack on another 10K in upgrade costs. Bringing the final price to produce a super beast bug out van to 45K. Now to sell it you want to at least turn a 1/3 profit so, Asking price possibly 62K.

      $62k? You could buy an actual RV for that. Or a cheap house. Nobody is going to pay anywhere near that for a modded, used van lol.

      I'd like to see a skinny guy, a medium built guy, a fat guy and a muscular guy go up against a man with a glock at 30 metres away.
      Pretty sure they'd all lose ;)

    Pretty awesome. The one thing I've felt like most of these van builds lack is a solid entertainment system. You did not skip that step.
