Not sure how useful a toilet will be at that point, but the shower might prove useful.

Update 12/09: Owner Bill Swails tells us that EarthRoamer went into Chapter 7 bankruptcy but has emerged as "Xpedition Vehicle Service, LLC," a company that services and manufacturers EarthRoamers, whose trademarked name they've somehow kept. Both the Jeep- and F-350-based EarthRoamers are still being serviced and assembled for sale.
The Jeep J8 would have been a better platform for a car like this -- and that's only $50k for what would probably cost more than that to replicate.
Well, I want one.

That with a CIWS mounted would be pretty great for post-apocalyptic living. Just stock it ahead of time with imperishable supplies and then only make landfall on known safe coasts with your rifle to hunt for food, or mount a fishing rig to be completely independent.
Oh, or this!

Which is why I would choose a sail boat. Yes I know that the hydraulics on modern yachts are energy hogs, but one can re-rig for manual deployment.
If the pesky energy problem would not be an an issue in a post apocalypse world then this would be worth a consideration.

I bet that thing could house its own nuclear reactor. Energy problems, solved!
I'm reading a book called Snow Crash, which features a villain that rides on a motorcycle with a warhead sidecar that is set to detonate should he die. I would have a similar system with my nuclear yacht. Nobody would mess with me in the places where my boat is moored.

In the post-apocalyptic world (assuming it's just a regular apocalypse and not a Cougspocalypse), you want an armored nuclear-powered ship big enough to hold a helicopter, a few useful people (mechanics, doctors, gunners, etc.), nuclear fuel processing, fishing rigs, guns, some land vehicles of a few sizes. As long as you're the biggest thing out there, and don't fuck with other people, your society should survive.
Or, just go with a small boat and an ATV, and carry a couple of people and some guns.

V6 AT Accords.
BTW, our Enterprise had a Wrangler Unlimited with the freedom top the other day. I so wanted to drive that.
as cool as living in a decked-out mega-yacht in a post-apocalyptic world seems, you would have to arm yourself to the teeth to protect yourself, being an inevitable target for pirates. you would most definitely need a crew to operate that kind of firepower, in which case there's always at least a slight risk of a mutiny.
surviving the fall of civilization as a renegade lone wolf type, I would opt for something like this:

F/A-18 can handle.
The Westinghouse nuclear reactor has 140,000 shaft horsepower, and doesn't need to be "refueled" for 15+ years. And, to appease the few remaining hippies/greenies, I'll keep all aircraft below deck and turn all areas not dedicated to landing/launching aircraft into a wind/solar farm with organic vegetables growing in between.
Brilliant!

Your is a form of ownership, whereas you're is an abbreviated you are.
Anyways, the USS Harry Truman has a ship crew (minus the air wing and all of it's staff) of 3200. Of course, I'm sure that if the situation called for it, the staff could be drastically reduced.
Then again, I don't know why Minnie's getting technical over the reality of methods of survival in a thread about a hypothetical apocalypse in which options mentioned include
space ships from video games, TV shows, and movies. ;)
Oops, missed the last sentence of the first paragraph.
Galactica will survive because the Apocalypse will come from computer networks, and Adama doesn't allow networking on his ship. He requires that all data must be transported between computers on punchcards with the corners clipped off.

Resistance is futile.
The Borg expect to only be attacked by the most advanced technology. Quantum torpedos, subspace weapons etc. Their shields are not generally configured to deal with primitive kinetic weapons as seen in First Contact, so......

Damm while surfing the BSG wiki, I found out that unlike Pegasus, Galactica's batteries are manned. :mask:

That job must suck. It also makes Adama's order during the Ionian Nebula battle, "Tell our flak units to only fire at the nukes heading towards the fleet. We can sustain hits they can't," have all the more impact. I am assuming that "We can sustain hits," does not refer to those glass canopies.
I have to strong survival instincts for a job like that. If I had a choice between fireing at a nuke heading toward Colonial One, or fireing at one about to explode in my face, I know what i would do.
Yeah, there were some good shots of the turrets in action during the final episode.
I really like to watch Resurrection Ship II, where the Pegasus and Galactica gang up on a Base Star and blow the shit out of it with their guns. :praise:
Yes, that is awesome.
YES
I just started watching the series again. Today I knocked out the Miniseries.
It's like crack.
Battlecrack Galactica.
