Many People Tow A Caravan Or Trailer,

behind their vehicles for a holiday break,


photographs Mammoth Overland, but what happens if you want a trailer to be survivable in say a bear attack, or even a nuclear war? behold the Extinction-Level Event (ELE) trailer from Mammoth Overland, the camper starts with double-walled aerospace-grade aluminium sheeting for the outside and high-density foam insulation, the company’s engineers then added submarine-style pressure doors that each have four pins that extend into the walls, to keep air out, the solid construction lets the ELE sustain up to 0.25 psi of positive pressure, that keeps the outside air from sneaking in through gaps in the walls, doors, or insulation, a medical-grade air filtration system from E.L. Foust filters the air that does get into the cabin, the system can completely purge the interior air in less than 3 minutes, and the system has the capacity to purify the air for its occupants for up to 6 months,

regarding bear attacks the company says that it's designed to withstand a bear attack, there are controls inside for bear spray emitters,

the interior includes a combat information centre that allows the user to observe the surrounding area with a night vision camera mounted on a boom, launch a drone, or monitor radiation with a Geiger counter, as well as an onboard weather station. AC, heat, an Icom dual-band radio, and Starlink Internet hardware are also standard, a 100aH battery system from Renogy gives campers or survivors up to 20 hours of electricity, the batteries can be recharged while driving or using the two 100W solar panels, a WEN gas generator gives you power when the solar system can’t. Ticking the options box for the extra armour and paying an extra $25,000 gets you Level 3 ballistic protection. Mammoth Overland didn’t mention specifics, but National Institute of Justice Level III means it will stop 7.62mm lead core rifle ammunition, or .357 and .44 Magnum rounds fired from a long-barrel handgun, the trailer comes fully loaded (except for the armour) for $67,000, it is a tad small, but it has a king-sized bed.
