After a SHTF situation, one reality is that there will be a lot of abandoned vehicles due to the severity of the aftermath.
Abandoned vehicles can provide a lot of survival materials, tools, and applies that you can utilize post-collapse. However, before taking advantage of that car that's no longer in use, it's vital to make sure it's actually abandoned. You can't start taking things from the car unless you've established that it's indeed left behind by its previous owners.
Once you have established that the car is abandoned there is an unlimited amount of supplies you can re-purpose for survival uses.
Some of these items include hoses, mirrors, and the list go on and on. Use these supplies to your advantage and add them to your SHTF stash because at one time or another these items will be useful to you.
To learn about an incredible list of supplies and parts you can salvage from an abandoned vehicle, visit the next page.

A small hole in a gas tank will not make it prone to explosion. If their fire consumes the oxygen inside the tank, fire goes out.
Battery would be the 1st thing I’d grab.
Wires from the car.
I am getting really sick of your 20 page click baits filled with ads and little information. Start changing your$#%&!@*or start losing likes.
A door! So when it gets too hot, you can roll down the window. Make sure it’s a mechanically operated regulator though.
They would actually have to read the comments to care.
I see what you did there.
Alternator

Take the registration and insurance papers so ya can roll yerself some doobies.
The speakers, naturally…

since most likely the gas will be the first thing scavenged. I would go after the wiring harness (For cordage), Seat Foam (For fire starter), and Engine Oil (For making torches)
Catalytic converter would be worth the most out of it all
Use them as bait and just pick em off
I am assuming this article was written by one of my 1st graders friends. There is so much more to be scavenged. You all can have the 7 items mentioned in this article. I will take 7 different items and you all will be coming to me for stuff long before I come to you!

Seat covers for blankets, seat foam for insulation off the ground (when you go hide from smokers) waterworld reference, carjack if you need to move things elsewhere like If TSHTF for real for real.
That is actually smart, if able drop the axel
Cigarette lighter, so you can always start a fire…..
Pretty bad article just click bait mostly. Fyi its almost impossible to siphon gas out of a car built since the 80s because there is a check ball inside the filler neck that keeps the gasoline from pouring out in case a rollover accident, the quickest and easiest way to get gas out is just to use a punch of some kind and catch the gas in a pan then transfer to a suitable container.
If you are bugging out how could you carry a 50+ pound battery? Unless you have a vehicle already
There’s no gold in catalytic converter it’s got platinum.
I knew it was something awesome lol
Just clicked on this and it set off my anti virus software, and froze my computer as virus tried to take over my computer.
I was going to say, You could use the car for shelter or a green house.
The foam from the seats would be more useful!
Have a great afternoon Mysti Chae
Thanks! And you as well
WAY MORE THEN THAT MY FRIEND 🙂
Sharp sheet metal scrap
and most modern ethanol gas will be worthless in a week or two. you’re gonna want the springs for forging the melee weapons of post apocalyptia
Nothing but clickbait here, don’t bother.
Poke hoke in tank, your not going to have a tube on ya
Yup
C’mon jumped off quick, what a waste.
Good One.. I need to write that down..
I just gave away a car that sat over a year it started fine after a jump and drove away.
Preferably with a metal object striking another metal object hopefully creating one spark. Sparks and has goes so well with each other. You can still siphon gas from the new cars but it is hard if you just stick a hose down the fill tube. Just have to be smart and understand how things work. Much safer than striking metal objects together near flammable gas. Just saying let me know when you are going to do it, I’ll dial 911 for you.
Copper wiring, anything rubber or foam, common bolts and screws, all fluids.
Haha classic blonde joke

Hey stranger where you at now still in indiana geneva way or?
