Whether it’s survival in the back-country or hurricane season on the coast, one can never be too prepared for the unexpected.  And to help you be prepared Mossberg who has been manufacturing guns since 1919, has developed the JIC or Just In Case series of guns.

There are three distinct models in the JIC lineup each with a specific purpose but the heart of the JIC package is the venerable 12 gauge Mossberg 500 Pump-Action. Fitted with a compact 18-1/2” barrel and rugged synthetic pistol grip and forearm, it’s offered in your choice of the blued Cruiser model, the Mariner, or the Sandstorm.  Each is sealed in a re-sealable clear bag, and is packaged in a heavy-duty, waterproof synthetic carrying-tube complete with re-sealable top and nylon carrying strap. You’ll also find convenient accessories including the waterproof ‘Survival Kit-In-A-Can’ (Cruiser® model), or the durable multi-tool and serrated lock-back knife combo pack with cordura case (Mariner® model).

If you’ve been waiting for personal transport that darts you around looking like the Firefox logo, your time has come. Hop aboard the Motorized Monocycle and you’ll be tooling about at speeds up to 25 MPH while powered by a 31cc, four-stroke 1 1/2-hp engine.

Amazon.com explains that it “operates by using a centrifugal clutch on its inner steel frame to engage the larger 67″ diam. outer flywheel that actually makes contact with the ground with a rubber tire.” They go on to state that the device is steered by leaning to one side or the other, and can safely negotiate any dense surface such as pavement or grass.

So what are you waiting for? It can run for up to two hours on less than a 1/2-gallon of gasoline. In times like these, you can’t afford to not get one.
