We found this old fuel truck at a gas station about twenty miles from New Eden .
One our recon crew said we had tires in storage for it back at Dix , ............ as soon as we refit it for a part of our foraging convoy , we're off .
Journal note : About foraging , .......... when the world my father knew changed forever , food was pretty much hunted .
It was too dangerous to forage because survivors were vicious cut throats . Then there were the undead zombie like things that fed on anything , ........ especially humans .
Many years after the " change " foraging for food and fuel in empty desolate towns began .
My father and his Piney friends discovery of the hidden underground bunkers at Dix the size of a large city further made the necessity of wide ranging foraging a moot point .
Evidently food and survival stuffs for a few thousand people were stored in these hidden bunkers .
We here in New Eden are a band of a few hundred .
Yet that was fifty or so years ago .
Foraging has now become important , ......... not for lack of food and survival things , ........... because we need to explore and learn about our friends and enemies in the surrounding country side .
Fort Dix is well stocked but not a bottomless source of supplies .
Back when we started foraging we found that there just couldn't be many survivors , .......... every town we found had stocked shelves and larders , nothing looked " picked over " ........... or taken .
Canned goods are always like finding gold before the change .
Unfortunately the labels have decayed so opening each can is like Christmas morning .
Soooo , ......... now we refit the tanker for our foraging convoy to further add to our fuel stocks , ........... and forage for anything we feel we may need , .......... whether it be necessities or extravagances .
The build :
I'm using this ARV kit to morph this tanker into a post apocalyptic vehicle .
I hate building chassis cause it's so hard to get things lined up and straight when it comes wheel time :laugh:
Oh and the wheels are just placed on for the pics.
The shotgun was made about ten or twelve years ago , ........ found it and a few other things in a cigar box full of random parts .
The pics.
[ Yeah , I know , ....... I really like that shotgun :laugh: ]
