LOL, no.
If you are worried about a zombie apocalypse or breakdown of society, then you need a vehicle thats simple, robust, no electronics, can be fixed with basic tools and runs on old diesel.
You need mechanical injection, not ECU controlled management.
A 200TDi Disco if you want to keep it green oval, if not an old Hilux or Pajero or something like that.

Hope that there is no EMP is involved with the crisis situation. Because the Freebie will be a shed on wheels, if so.

The only problem with a Defender is if they are anything like mine all the doors don't lock. Still at least they don't fall off when it rains

My L Series Freelander is already a "Bug Out Vehicle" as I said recently when discussing the size of the fuel tank....

Depends on what you mean by bug out vehicle, like grumpy if it's just to get you out the city and away from a volcano or something then yeah fine. If it's to survive a 28dl zombie outbreak of a nuclear winter then prob not. U less your opening a zombie hairdressers, then maybe....

at least in a freelander we would be able to get to a bug out location quicker than walking pace, dry, and warm

If you bugged out in a defender then
- Half the supplies space would be taken up with a year's supply of Waxoil
- The undead could just follow the trail of engine oil
- If the zombies caught up then you'd have to shut the driver's window and wouldn't be able to turn right cos your shoulder would be wedged.
Yes.. its fine, you would be dead before you counted the carabineers you attached to it in the pre flight checks.
