    B.O.S.S. Trailer

    I was looking through a recent Popular Science magazine and ran across an advertisement for a teardrop trailer specifically designed for preppers. It's from the Little Guy company at www.golittleguy.com and advertises it comes with gear to let you live off the grid for 3 months. Don't know the price but it looks like an interesting concept.

    MSRP according to another site is $20,000.

    The following link is to the PDF flyer for it. Not real impressed by the food included.

    For a hard shell compact for one or two theses are nice.
    You don't need to be the strongest
    or the most intelligent to survive
    but by having the right tools and
    the adaptability of change
    is where you will prevail.

    I think they are rather proud of what they are offering! I think that could be done for 1/3 the price. I'll check the local teardrop manufacturer and get back to you on this.

    I'm quite sure that you can set one up yourself for a much better price. You pay a lot for the convenience of having someone else take care of all the little details.

    Let him know if you need 550 cord, a hank of generic rope, and some duct tape

    That's what I'm thinking.

    There's some really cool trailers on that site, I like the layout. It's cool that it comes with gear, but for that price I would think you could outfit one much better according to your own personal needs.

    If you are handy with tools there are plans out there available for sale. Depending on size teardrops equipped sell from $3000 to $8000. S I think that you could put together your own for much less than $20K.
