Never see people talk about this much, but it's one of, if not the most important factors for a successful guerrilla grow. Let's talk about different access methods, anything & everything related to getting to/fro your spots.
Some of my favorites:
Pitbikes, little kids dirtbikes, etc.
These are great for several reason, cheap is the first that comes to mind. For under $800 you should be able to get something to last you all summer every day of beating the crap out of it (Maintenance & upgrades not included in that figure) They also don't seem to piss off neighbors/land owners as much. You can load them onto a truck by yourself in seconds, throw them over a gate if you have to, etc. A 2-stroke 80 can be great if your good at working on them, fast & fun, but headlight options are limited. First choice though would be a klx/drz110. They are indestructible, highly reliable, and for $20 you can go to walmart & have a working headlight. You'll want to get some big boy bars, throw some heavier oil in the forks, and a manual clutch kit & anything except the stock tires is nice as well. This is what I used this past summer, I hauled 10/gallons at a time using 5- gallon buckets with lids on each handlebar- it's harder than it sounds though. 3.8 cu/ft bales of promix are easier to haul on them then you would think. I would drop bales near the road, ride back in a different way, and haul them 1/2 mile to the edge of the swamp- it's a little tricky but you'll get good at balancing the bale between your nutsack and on the bars, I actually enjoyed this part. Trust me, these things can get places my 6x6 amphibous machine couldn't, simply because you can carry the damn things if you have to! The klx/drz's are also SOOOOOOOOOOO QUIET!
ATV's:
Sport or 4x4, they all have their ups & downs. Buy a Japanese one if possible, you don't want your Polaris throwing a CV joint or frying it's computer while bringing in the harvest.
On/Off road enduro bikes:
These are great because you can drive them around legally to get to the good spots, then dip off to all sorts of garden locations. This is my plan for this summer, I expect to use spend about $3k-4K for a decent one including taxes/fees.
Car's:
Suck balls. At the least make sure you have a dog or fishing pole. I agree with Mr Jules here. trunks are nice. 4-door japenese sedans are pretty reliable BTW.
Pedal bikes:
like 12 speeds, mountain bikes, etc. I've got a sweet roadbike that I used here & there, this year I'll be peddling around the areas with cornfields at 4:00 am dressed in the typical cheesy biker outfits......... secretly OG'ing the place
Canoes/boats:
Not much to say on the subject, they work killer. Nice when it comes to bringing in supplies also since you can have it all loaded up & just drop off & be gone.
Gates:
These can be a problem, but also a blessing. Check the locks, a lot of times they aren't locked. Other times they will be locked with excavator keys. E-bay has master kits that will cover every type of heavy equipment, though it's usually a new style cat-key in these situations. The lock will say cat right on it obviously. Everyone should have a cat key anyways It's ballsy but in certain situations that you deem nobody will notice you can cut a link off the chain & put an additional lock on it, use this one with great caution though, like places that already have 2-3 different locks & you KNOW multiple large companies access the area.
