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.

Until it killed for food. Along with you.
Yep, easiest way to get by is leave something valuable laying around and just wait for someone to try and take it.
So is anti freeze(green not the new stuff)
I would go for the seat so I can sit and watch the morons take it apart
My dog and gun
good thing we won’t have to worry about shtf now.
Can you scavenge a shell check program?
I thought it was really gonna tell me something. Check the glove box console are you kid’n me. WHO DONT KNOW THAT!

Fuzzy dice on the mirror definitely my number one!
Yeah but if i see an abandoned car with windows…. 14 years old again.
Cut the fuel line
Trying to read the deal and boom a huge scam pops up and won’t let me finish reading reporting this to Facebook
Wiring, tubing, fuel, mirror glass, seat/headliner material, maybe some foam, rubber or plastic, there is tons of useful things one can get from a car
Any man worth his salt can scrap just about the entire car.
I grew up in Northern WI, always had blankets, winter gear, shovels and 2 sandbags in the trunk. Didn’t even think about it when I drove out to Los Angeles to go to DeVry back in ’93. Took some classmates home one day, opened the trunk to put their backpacks in and they must’ve thought I was nuts.
Oh come on dude, just give us the link after the first ‘break’.

Just for the record, modern day cars don’t have inner tubes, either. 😉

Worst post ever
I’d take the door so if it gets hot I can wind the window down.
Thanks!

Lol, well finally time to pull the plug on following this page. Enjoy your breaks and talking about the SHTF.
It doesn’t mention things like windshield washer gallon plastic containers that are under the hood. They just lift out In newer cars. Have hoses in top that are easily plugged. Rinse and use for water, gasoline for fires,etc. Trunk carpets make shelter walls, or warm,dry floors. A dozen sets of rubber floor mats if near a plugged freeway and are headed to woods may be a bit heavy but make waterproof lean-to roofs. It won’t take long for junker cars to be everywhere. Broken off antennae for weapons. Hubhaps,real ones for cooking. Even if you don’t smoke, keep tobacco you find. For trade. And it’s used to remove internal parasites. Drinking Creek water? Eating whatever? You’ll need it. Correct amounts to bodysize you can look up now.
Alternator.
Get the doors, if it gets hot we can roll down the windows.

Obviously you would take the fan and bolt it to the alternator, wire it to the battery and attach the cigarette liter to it!
