I installed an 8' jib crane into the bed of my bug-out truck. My bug-out preps are staged in cruise boxes that weigh about 500lbs each. With the crane I can drop four boxes onto my customized bug-out trailer and load anything that weighs less than 1000lbs into the bed of my truck. Total time from decision to bug out is less than thirty minutes for almost three tons of gear and supplies, including my motorcycle. Made the decision when I was trying to load a 250lb generator onto the trailer. If things get bad enough for me to make the decision to leave for an extended amount of time, I'm taking my tools, welder, acetylene torch, chain saws and whatever else I need to set up shop somewhere else for good if necessary.
I also just built a customized minibike that's small enough for me to carry but will do almost 30 mph. I've tested it by dragging a deer and firewood out of the woods and the big tires have excellent flotation. Got the idea when I read about how the VC used bicycles to haul supplies during the Vietnam War. I plan on using it as a kind of mechanical mule. The British used something very similar when they were blockaded during WWII.
