This Bug Out Trailer (BOT) as it is presented here is intended to be a concept rather than a set of building plans. This is a low-cost structure that only requires only common tools and materials. The photos provided can say more than I could describe in a multi-part article.
The BOT can be a single-purpose utility or a multi-purpose platform that is lightweight and inexpensive to build. In essence, it is a modern version of the horse-drawn wagon trailers used beginning around the 1860’s that became the modern RV. It is an example, of what the Marine Corps advocates: That we should improvise, adapt, and overcome a problem in the best way we can with what we have, and where we are located. At its heart, it requires a can-do attitude that allows us to use our ingenuity.
