Are there others that carry a chainsaw ?
I've got a small electric saw that I carry in the RV, and the built-in Onan to power it. It's the business end of a pruning rig. I stuff its pole under the couch if I go seriously boondocking, but have never needed it. Biggest issue is keeping the bar oil from leaking. Also got the stuff for sharpening it. The 18" Husquvarna stays in the pickup.
I keep the Tiger gassed up, LP at least 1/2 full, and 1/2 full water except in winter. Even in winter, I keep several gallon water jugs in it, sitting in the sinks and a bucket in case they burst or leak. Canned food & a few sodas kept stocked over winter goes into Ziplock bags, top left partly open, as a freeze precaution. I can survive for a while on Spam, instant grits & oatmeal, ramen noodles, and instant coffee, all of which I keep in the Tiger.
I haven't had to use the Tiger as a bug-out vehicle, but I have used the previous class B's generator to keep the house reefer, Tv, and 'puter going for about 2 days after a power outage. I also used that RV for a water supply when the remnants of two hurricanes swept out city water supply line away.
