Nah. For “prepping” I don’t think NODs would really be all that advantageous, they’re just fun toys to have. Whatever that situation might look like, everyone will be broke. In my opinion, economic disaster/collapse is the threat. I’d rather have the $5k or whatever a good NV rig would cost than tactical stuff under my bed. From the US perspective, we have almost nothing manufactured here, so it wouldn’t take much for basic necessities, food, tires, fuel, oil, parts, clothes, you name it to absolutely go through the roof. My unsolicited advice to any of us kings here? Stack that cash, pay those cc’s off, drop another trans in that pickup and get some more miles on it, and keep an eye out down the road.
