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.

Unless they were killed in their car, then I might look for weapons or ammo.
Take the entire tank and you won’t have to siphon. You also have a tank for fuel storage in the future. Solves a number of problems.
It amazes me that people have to be told these kind of things
For a second. ..I thought it was a trump supporters car link…

I used to work at a scrap yard stripping good parts & components before the car was crushed. I would use a shaker style siphon pump. Never had any problems getting down to the tank on late model vehicles.
Is this a “how to not die if you’re retarded” instructions manual?
Ya know….
i love folks who watch survival shows while eating cheetos and drinking beer act like theyre survival experts on FB…

I’d go for gas and alternator

In EOTWAWKI You can just hacksaw the neck off and siphon it out, or just poke a hole in the thank and catch it.
An LS motor lol
They forget the change in the ashtray
Find you a nice Audi, heated seats for the winter!
Also, (even though they can get pricey), buy a good swiss army knife with all the extras and a good hunting knife. Always very handy in countless ways. Also a good Zippo lighter.

Oil? How about oil? Alternator, pulleys, belts, battery, wiring lights, dc adaptors/lighters wheels, rear axles from don’t wheel drive car… intact glass… seats….
I got this one Jerry M Peterson Jr
I don’t know about you, but i don’t see myself lugging around a 25 pound car battery.
Nothing said that you had to carry all the items in one trip. It was merely what would be on your list of items to scavenge.
Good point. Didn’t think about the oil. Could also use the$#%&!@*fluid.
1, trunk
2, glove box
3, mirrow
4, wiring
5, seatbelts
6, gas
7, other random s**t
I would say if it rains you could sit in the car for shelter but your Fuckers stripped it of everything. This was a pretty weak article.
If the car has a working battery and fuel why not start it up and drive it to an abandoned Walmart or other stores and scavenge them!
1. Whatever is in the trunk
2. Whatever is in the glove box/console
3. Mirrors
4. Seat belts (for cordage)
5. Wiring (for cordage)
6. Battery
7. Gasoline
There. I saved you from clicking through that. If you already didn’t know how to scavenge a vehicle for useful parts, you’re zombie food.
Windshield washer fluid is flammable too

Well Eric crawson is a dumbass.
Pisser that it won’t load. Got some interesting ideas from the comments though
Interesting comments.
Phone charger

Mirror (can’t be running around all unkempt)

But power windows are so much cooler. Only losers get the cranky windows
Eric can’t get back to you right now. He’s out protesting the election results.

Big crossbows…. you’re on my team.
John Bishop nice !!
Hopefully they have a hula girl on the dash. Get that too.
Or a nice apology with your insurance information.
Where there’s a tractor there is most likely a redneck with a rifle….
Kate Castleman There are a lot of dealerships along roads that sell tractors and other farm equipment, Even riding lawnmowers can have some use, better then walking
STOP MAKING ME GO TO A SEPERATE WEB SIGHT FOR EACH ITEM, and maybe i will start reading your posts again.
Alternator, don’t forget the alternator
Jake Swearengin
Simply disconnect the rubber hose that connects the fuel tank to the full line, of simply cut a slice in the rubber connect hose and slip your sushi hose into the tank!
