Improved bug-out-buggy?

Post by v-rog »

This last week, I went through ACL reconstructive surgery and now I am walking with an aid. I'd like to call it the bug-out-buggy;

AndyC recommended that I add yellow tennis balls on the rear legs but I am prepared for most zombie attacks. For those who cut me off in foot traffic, watch out, I am armed with a bug-out-bicycle bell... :thumbs2:

Any suggestions for improvements or add-ons?

Well, the obvious addition would be a rifle rack.

I was going to add a "tennis bag" to the front (in order to store an AR-15) but I figured it might look odd considering the nature of the device. :lol:

I would add some larger wheels with pneumatic all-terrain tires for better mobility. Oh, and if you bolt on a few feet of Picatiny rail and paint it flat black, you can call it "tactical!"

I don't know why but walkers always look nekkid without tennis balls on the feet.

Speedy recovery! :thumbs2:

I was going to suggest an NRA bumper sticker or decal, but seeing you don't have a bumper or rear window ... :mrgreen:

Just back from my eye exam, so vision is a little blurry right now. I didn't know an M&P 9c was yellow. What's that black thing in a case behind it? :confused5

You need a lock box afixed to your walker with a stout cable to store your firearm when you crawl away.

Yep, needs a lift, bigger wheels, tow-hooks, maybe a fishin' tube if you think you might get amphibious, spot-lights for ferreting out critters and critter toys in the dark, shootin' stick attached to front leg, spotting scope on other leg, fish stringer and whole thing wrapped up in camo para-cord. I see you already have the requisite tactical beverage and sandwich holder. Man... I may to to get one of these!

At times like this, I feel sorry for the newcomers who joined after dukesean's wally walk.

I'd suggest getting AAA Texas' best towing coverage.

They'll tow you up to 200 miles home if that unit breaks down. :-)

When my father was using one of those, I tied a Home Depot canvas apron on the front of it.

Oh, and it had fluorescent green tennis balls on the back feet! :lol:
