Who in here has an "EMP Proof" Bug Out Vehicle?????

Yup, got three. One is a fast trimaran sailboat, no power needed. Two, a couple of fine bikes. Ultimately, bikes may be your best bet. An average person can cover over 60 miles a day. Do get a trailer for them or good bags though.

True, bikes may be good, but I can hold 140 gallons of diesel in my tanks and go over 2400 miles with them full.

Anyone who thinks they are going to "bug out" of cities after the shit hits the fan will find that it was all fantasy. They will die along with the rest of the city fuckers.

My chevy volt is covered in tin foil. That count?

Is yours stock or you make mods? Bigger fuel tank? How can you test that it is emp proof?

I thought it was pre 1970-something cars that did not have electric starters.

Give details opie Cunningham

1969 Chevelle Malibu ss, dad left it to me with instructions to never sell it.
Was he on to something??

same exact truck... and about to buy a 1993...

$2995

this will be my THIRD in this class. Got one for a BOV

One at the farm, and one to trade for silver and gold AFTER the balloon goes up.

There is a field mod package available.

Here's a problem. If you attempt to bug out and have the only working vehicle, you will probably be shot by a guy who will steal your vehicle, who will be shot by somebody else stealing the vehicle from him, and on and on. Board up the windows and keep your head down for the first few months.

Remove battery and run a ground wire from engine block into grounding pole hamered about 6 feet into the ground. Should work.

Jeep :) Manual transmission, too.

Only problem, there is a lot of people will revert to their base nature pretty quickly in a SHTF situation. Hell they're already doing it. In cities there will be burning and no one to put out the fires. Hunkering down could be more dangerous than running for it.

A lot of these so called EMP proof vehicles are EMP proof... ECU's and distributors will be destroyed




my 1926 model t is 100% emp proof, as well as my vintage and 2 stroke motorcycles

a 92 ford anything is not EMP proof

ECU still controls ignition timing

duh any vehicle with spark plugs would mean that it is not emp proof

my mountain bike.

i have a fred flinstone car. just kidding, i actually have a small moving star at my disposal. not kidding.

Rather than just someone posting a dumb laughing smilie, I will explain.

Diesels do not have ignition, spark plugs, or in this units case, any electronic controls. It will probably keep running even without the alternator, but that means no headlights. None of the gauges will work post EMP but that is ok on that truck. They probably don't work anyway.

I still LOL at the Bug-out-tards though... Survival is not a camping trip or a bike ride.

And who ever said he will get shot and have the truck taken is probably right. If a mob sees a running vehicle, they will mob it and probably destroy it while trying to take it.

Wrong.

A car with a points distributor will run just fine. They have to be pre 1972-73 I think... before electronic/CDI ignition.

Will not protect the IC chips in a computer or any electronics.

The girl and I have bicycles, rollerblades, and kyaks. Its all good, the bug out is the farm no worries here

I don't think you people talking about hoofing it out are taking into consideration that there will most likely be a lot of people really excited about the fact that they can do ANYTHING they want and get away with it.

I cant know anyfink about cars, but I have wondered about this.
Can anybody tell me if my 1996 ford courier is good to go or not after a cme

these cars look particularly good with anti aircraft machine guns attached to the tray... am hoping to get one soon, thatll keep the bloody cops away

1983 Diesel Suburban
1988 Ford/IH crane truck
1997 Dodge Cummins PU

All have mechanical injection engines. If I can get them started, they will run. Fuel, Compression, and Air are all that's required.

Well, there is nothing to test. It's mechanical, an emp will have no effect on mechanical devices. Injection pump, everything that is vital for the engine to run is mechanical, no computers whatsoever. Yes, I have an aux. 100 tank that is full in the bed. And for the other guy that says people won't be able to "bug out", he's full of crap or in denial. I at least am giving my family and myself a way to get out. I live in a city of less than 100k anyways, so it won't be that hard to get away.

You're a smart guy, the IDI is a VERY good and robust engine that will run 500k miles easily. The only other choice I would choose would be a 12 valve 5.9 cummins, but the Dodge bodies are junk.

It's got a computer, it will be fried, sorry.
