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.

Kraig Cochran dude if u need the gas that bad its pretty easy to get out of any vehicle
Ya the door. You can roll it down when u get hot
I hate these next page click ads fuckn write an article on one page and i will probably read it.
Fucking click bait
Hey. Did you know you can actually write this whole article on one page? I didn’t get past the first. Who wants to wait read a sentence and wait a minute for the next page to load? Not me.
John Saccucci research
Barry Grice the fourth paragraph literally says you can obtain a hose from the vehicle
Lol people are in so much of a hurry to trash a link they don’t even read it.
I’m going to practice on your’s now
Huge fan!! Read the island series !
Kelly Probst got those first…..i was looking for Turtledove and found this guy,,,lol
Oil is another great resource you’ll need. Great for starting wet firewood, sharpening blades, smoke markers, smudge pots, etc.
seat belts. Seat foam. Check the ashtray for roaches. That’s about it.
You’d need a wagon to catty it all
Tires can be used for makeshift armor, boot soles, and various other uses. Seat foam can be used for bedding, vehicles themselves can be used for shelter. A hood can be used as a roof for temporary shelter.
Alternator was my first thought as well
Drr
Lmao.i had the same thought.
Alternater for charging the car batteries. All light bulbs and their sockets with wires attached. Head lights aswell.
Rubber from around doors.
Smash the windows and bag up the broken glass, to spread on paths to your camp, so as to hear anyone trying to sneak in. Or to load into shotgun cartridges.
Front and rear windscreens for dew/rain catchers, or windows in shelters.
Radio to monitor if there’s any news.
Interior roof lining for various uses. Window washer bottle for water bottle.
Window wipers, to fashion into prongs/spikes for traps.
Tow ball to make a mace type weapon.
Brake fluid for various uses.
Leaf springs to forge weapons.
Window squirter pump might come in useful.
Oil dipstick for more spikes.
Wheel nuts for shanghai ammo, aswell as any bearings or other nuts.
Fanbelts for use with alternator.
Radiator fan for wind energy.
Sparkplugs.
If they’re there…..fluffy dice. ☺
As Daniel stated, the seat covers can be removed and made into backpacks, waterproof jackets, and such. Gas lines for distilling fresh water, leaf springs for axes and machetes, head linings for insulation in clothing, leaf springs for knives, and sheet metal for arrow heads and knives.
Decent article. But why do we have to click ‘Next’ for each item?
Seems cheesy and click-baity, and definitely not professional!
No crap
If you were really desperate for fertilizer and there happened to be some crap in there, it could still be handy. ☺
Too damn much click bait! I’ve clicked thru 3 pages and have 2 of your 7 items listed so far. “1)Whatevers in the trunk. 2)Whatevers in the glove box.” F*** that! Just common sense sh*t buried in a sea of ads 🙁
I know this young lady, didn’t mean for it to be bad comment, some of us just know more than others. Your post will be great help for those that don’t know. And if need a stool,sample that bad we’ll take your crap, lol
U are not the only survivalist in the world get off your ego trip
Thank$#%&!@*for that. Here i was thinking i was the only one too.
I’m not on the ego trip yet mate. It’s booked and paid for though. I was going to say i might see you on the trip, but i my guess is you’ll be in first class.
Wouldn’t this be done after an extended period of time, let’s say months or years after. Wouldn’t the abundance of equipment found at home and in stores last?
I have successfully and accidentally dehydrated food in a Buick century. Only took a few hours
they do tbis every day in Newark NJ ?? just because. and they dont ask permission
Peoples feat of emp’s is really overrated. Any vehicle with a metal body will be largely shielded from the effects of an emp. Your vehicle will still run, just need to swap a few things out and your good.

Air bags my number 3 after battery and alternator
Sally Moore
Soooo I guess Jeffrey AgentProvocateur Hunter just wants me to die?
Poking a hole is the quickest way and you are less noticeable
No lol
What a hideous list. Everyone could use extra hoses, battery, little motors and belts.
Here’s one I made. Git the idea from dies the fire.
First thing I’m going to take will be the car door because if it gets hot I can roll the window down
We always have used the back dash of a car to dehydrate apples. Works like a charm.
The Benzo emblem for a necklace to trade for$#%&!@*when one comes up on some local tribesmen. Then sit down and smoke some stuffing from the seats.
Don’t forget to riffle under the seats -pocket knife loaded gun other loose beer etc. Etc.
Next page my nuts! Hate click bait.
Engine oil and trans fluid to fuel my Multifuel diesel Army truck!
Lol

Never have to swap anything out in your water buffalo…
