A tanker, even empty, cannot get into the bush. Even an unprepared 4WD is often unwise to take into the bush. A few jerry cans of gas in the bed are no bother at all.
- chrisseaton 4y ago> A tanker, even empty, cannot get into the bush. I’ve literally personally driven a diesel tanker off-road through the Kenyan bush.
- nicbou 4y agoI was just thinking about the water trucks in Nepal. They go anywhere, it's impressive. You probably know things that the person you are replying to doesn't and arguing is futile. Nonetheless, electric isn't so great if you have to pack generators to make it work. It defeats the purpose, right? My comment up there was from the perspective of a long distance motorcycle traveler. When I look around, I see cars that are already packed: children on parents' knees, one child in the back, and luggage on top. A generator and fuel wouldn't be trivial to add to this. Above all, it means that fueling up becomes something you can only do where you stop. It's no longer a five minute break, but a constant logistical issue. I'm not saying that it's impossible, but it's a tough sell. Have you seen The Long Way Up? They attempt a Pan-American trip with electric bikes, and boy what a headache.

- nostrademons 4y agoIf the river swallows your tanker truck, how do you answer his first question: > There's no diesel in the bush either. So how do you refuel a diesel vehicle?
- llampx 4y agoRidiculous. Then what's happening in the bush except for being a rich person's safari playground?
- chrisseaton 4y agoThis person is single-handedly driving all resources into all remote locations, in the bed of their truck. No other transport allowed.
