During WWII in Europe, most of the civilians trucks were running on wood.

I enjoyed it also. Wonder how he keeps 20 feet of dirt from caving in his bunker. They didn't show that part. Still, some good ideas.

That was a Utah Shelter Systems Bunker, It's well engineered.

ok to Play devil's advocate.
Sure wood burning is a cool way to run a truck but what exactly can you do with a truck that can seat 3 people and the entire back is filled with all the components to run it. sure you can carry a little and probably tow some but just looks like alot of work not to walk.

Now I think its cool to run genset or other devices by it but the truck just seems like e PIA

I love the bunker idea, now if only i were rich i could make it happen

I thought it was worth watching but that is about as far as I would go. I was thrown off by the x-mil guy that had 4 ARs that used the same ammo but had at least 3 different pistols. I would have leaned more towards the rifles/pistols using compatible ammo. (IMO)

You said it. You can tow a utility trailer for all your hauling needs. Would be handy for some heavy items. You could also still tow a holiday trailer if you had to leave the BOL. And the same tech could be applied to an old crew cab 4x4 as well to carry more people and cross difficult terrain......
