How To Build Your Own Trailer

Trailers can be quite expensive if you get one all decked out. But if you're good with DIY, you can build your own and save a lot of money. Get your kids involved, and you can make it a teachable artivity for the whole family 😉

Using a Trailer to Bug Out

There are a number of different prepper philosophies out there. Some people believe that all the answers exist out in the rural parts of the nation. Others believe it’s only safe to go underground and into a bunker.

Also, there are those that are looking to bug out and those might be concerned with bugging out by vehicle. Do you have any idea what a bug out vehicle might look like? What about a bug out location on wheels?

Maybe preppers are looking for a mobile housing option that you can create in DIY fashion, on your own!  I love that I can check out how others build their own trailer: it helps me get inspired and motivated.

It’s a good move.
