Got a sub just for that

No doubt, LOL, some prepper channels are just , well, over the top!

Valuable comment. Thanks.

I was told that many old Mercedes and WV diesel cars would still run.

yeah but you would also be dead if you were near that

​@@user-ue4nq3kc3jyou are correct t on older VW's for sure.

Many older vehicles are not affected by emp.

As long as your car isn't on when the EMP goes off and has no power source then your car will not be affected same goes for all their electronics as long as they are not on and have no power source they will survive

Sorry you're screwed... People could even hack into it remotely nowadays.

Read “One Second After” for an accurate description of life after an EMP event. Spoiler- not a lot of fun

Vehicles are grounded through the battery and also rubber tires

The EMP commission did not specify the vehicle make and model. I am still looking for that.

i was going to mention that too. they only tested vehicles up to 2002. we really have no way of knowing how newer vehicles would handle it. just saying.

It's best to convert over to Propane since if I'm right Propane doesn't go bad like gas does? Since you can have storage tanks underground for "heating" it could be used to fire up that Buick, No?

@@SachiWI Yep, propane is the only fuel for running the generator, car and anything else that has to have its fuel sit for a long while and not have the fuel go bad.

Any update?

Probably "EMP and Generators" will answer that question.

Those cars would become highway ornaments, vehicles that do not rely on electronics ie mechanical diesels, and non fuel injected gasoline powered vehicles ( almost anything with a carburetor and mechanical ignition would be unaffected)

I would not have this remorse. It's always better to have than have not. And if you watch some other videos you will be ready.

Read the study he referenced lol

No

A blanket ANYTHING won't work.. any device must be envelope wrapped.. much like storing your electronics stored in a metal garbage can and sealed with aluminum tape

What vehicles are able to be converted?

@@Dubz101 if your vehicle has a distributor you can convert it. If you have coil packs you'll need something to trigger the ignition at the appropriate time, fords EDIS system can be adapted with units for 4,6,&8 cylinder engines, they can be found in junk yards in early 90's through early 00's

@@Dubz101 don’t bother mate, just buy an older car

No you're not. Apparently you don't understand shit. I've disabled a carbureted vehicle, it's easy. You're not safe period.

What did you find and why are you screwed?

IF and I say IF our grid goes down from a CME or EMP we are screwed - I don't have the kind of money to buy freezers and buy all this food everyone says you need to have. I can barely put food on the table every day of the month let alone buy a shit load more for a "rainy day" only the wealthy people can afford to do that. I'm lucky to not have any loans on anything. If I did I'd be starving right now. I can live where I am for $500.00 per month - that's internet, heat, lights, a/c phone taxes. the necessities there's NO money for anything extra

Start a community garden

Check into hydroponics. Using vertical PCP pipes with fish. I would also check into using window fans to run a small generator to charge batteries, golf cart batteries, produce energy for refrigeration. You can raise quail in a cage in a corner of your apartment and get more eggs then a chicken and use the waste to feed the plants; just mix it with water and run through the pipes. It takes four eggs to make one chicken egg; but very quiet and breed quickly and you can have a small meal out of the one male bird. I know of people in foreign countries and cities that are growing food in these pipes and quail in a rabbit pen and are growing enough food for them and two other people. They also took their balcony and are raising food outside in the summer with fish in a garbage can. They also have hard wood that they bought, and mushroom plugs, and are raising medical, and food mushrooms. Try to think outside the box and look on You Tube and just don't give up. God Says if their is a will their is a way. You can also use these plants to filter waste for water purification with a few extra steps. Many times you can find all the supplies you need to set these up by going to the junk yard and check at yard sales, Craigslist, and trash day. I threw out a vacuum cleaner and the man that took it took the pump out of it and used it for a project. You can do this just keep your head-up and keep researching and never give-up, never give-up, never give-up. ( Church Hill). Good luck and find Christ; he is the only way that you will survive what is coming. I look at facts and try not to get caught-up in the doom and gloom environment; but something is happening in the solar system that is coming and if we all share our knowledge and we all help each other become more self- reliant we will thrive.

As some other people have said.... look into building up.... not out. Lots of great videos about pallet gardening, trellis, PVC, etc You can even grow a lot on an apt patio. Don't give up. It's more difficult but there are options. Good luck and may God bless you.

You are right, he underplayed it majorly. Altho' I'm sure it did mention somewhere that some of the vehicles which stopped could be re-started this way. We are also talking quite old cars by today's standards and limited power being used for the test. I've also seen it reported that the cars were loaned not donated by the manufacturers and not purchased by the EMP Commission and they wanted them back so the testers weren't allowed to destroy them or damage them too much. The bottom line is no one knows what these events will really do until it happens. We can only make educated guesses. Well, maybe the gov't knows but they're just not disclosing. As you point out, transportation includes the road system and other things, not just the cars themselves. Fuel supply infrastructure will affected too. It's gonna be a lottery. Best bet is to buy an ex-mil vehicle as many of those are EMP hardened.

Me either!
