As for old vehicles…. well as a confirmed bachelor for life who does not have atleast some vintage vehicles… more storage is what you get a guy with everything lol.
Other thIng is we halter break all our cattle makes them easy to handle in emergency. Also allows for harnessing for the wagon…. for now it’s fun just like the sleigh. I can’t bring myself to get horses… too much expense minimal return. Plus I would have to ride a percheron to carry me plus gear.. kitted out is over 300 lb total weight for a 7 day pack with battle rattle. No Arabian can carry that….
One vehicle you can get cheaply now for post shft John park is a 6×6 5 ton. Handy on the farm for hauling stuff including the heavy equipment on low bed. Can find the auction for $6,000 or so at auction. Ours came with a surprise…. a gunner hatch on passenger seat with a hard point.
As for fixing after emp it’s a crap shoot…. having a working vehicle after that is going to put a target on you. We have a old tractors 3 of them two for parts one running it has 4 wheel drive and is a darwin award machine…. you mess up you win one or get horribly maimed near zero saftey stuff. It has 100 horse and plows just as hard as new kubota. But the seat had to be replaced… those old farmers where tougher than me sitting on that torture device for 12+hours a day.
