Every once in a while, I get feedback about articles that feature high-end gear. The comments are typically respectfully presented as they ask, ultimately, if I've lost a screw or two.
Paraphrasing, these comments go something like, “Who can afford a small plane to bug out with?” (“Bug Out Above the Chaos”; https://www. asgmag.com/news/bug-out-above-the-chaos/); “It’s pretty bad-ass, but I’m not spending $250K on a custom bug-out vehicle!” (“Lucky Gunner Garage PSV: The Ultimate Bug-Out Buggy”; https://www.asgmag.com/ survival-gear/survival-gear-reviews/survival-vehicle-reviews/lucky-gunnergarage- psv-ultimate-bug-buggy/); or “I can get a lot of good gear with the $300 they want for that knife in your Gear Guide!”
I want you to know we get that. Heck, I can’t afford any of those things, but I’m still curious about them and hope that, if nothing else, our readers will pick up a useful tidbit or two or at least be entertained or intrigued by the article. I follow DuPont Registry, but I’ll never have the cash or driving skills to run a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Even so, they’re interesting to look at and often provide some insight on technology and performance features that could eventually make their way to my local Chevy dealer. Feedback-of any kind-is good, and I want you to know that we do pay attention. This month’s cover story is about an off-road vehicle that’s much more popularly priced than its bigger and much-badder distant cousin, the Lucky Gunner PSV.
