I'd say they are area specific, and more than likely, yes, short time use: You'd have to feed the machine. A lot of airports removed them after 9/11/01 but some have reinstalled new ones that are credit card activated (which has its drawbacks) but still lower off the tread mill places like a bowling ally or health club would still have personal lockers. If you are that wanted by the wrong folks...a membership may be the least of your problems.

I like the idea of adding self-storage units, especially if you have someone not associated with your name as the owner, but has you named on the local paperwork for access... A town or two away you could have a bike or quad just sitting there ready to go...

I'm not a "prepper" just thinking outside-the-box if I had to leave my house in a hurry. Where to go with just a BoB and some guns is only the beginning...
