If I was planning a EMP proof vehicle I would look at a pre 1970 model. The new EMP weapons are not more powerful, after all Fission is Fission. The new arms are focused effect. Getting full coverage EMP to a large area (like the USA) with the old-school nukes required multiple bursts to create a blanketed area but there still could be spots where the effect is week or not even effected at all. With a more focused effect an invading force can pre-position assault forces locally with out worrying about messing up there own army with the first blow of an EMP. In the end, the ONLY way to protect electronics is to put them in a Faraday Cage, permanently, until needed. It would also be a good idea to have back-up part's in case of a 2nd or 3rd EMP attack. Also, mechanical machinery needs a good mechanic to keep it going. The Cummings 4B and 6B are very good small diesel's they where popular in the early 1980's, hell, I remember seeing old 60 series Detroits in the 1980's crammed into regular pickup's, takes some mechanical know-how but there where pretty cool!

Old land rover is the best option where im at. But jeep parts are harder to find.

I know! A decent mountain bike and a couple of saddlebags. And then get in good enough shape to ride it anywhere.

😵‍💫👍

Great video, I appreciate the good info.

How does an air powered starter work with the Cumin's?

Yeah, you're not going to get Humvee parts at NAPA either...

Probably one of the most common low profile autos, is 80/90s full size trucks, with the inline engines, or v-6 Add in a 2nd muffler to one of those engines they are incredibly quiet. Pre 1987 fords with the 300ci/4.9L there still carburetor and can easily be reversed to points ignition. As well as there well known for being capable for being rigged for gas and/or propane fuel. Not crazy hp so that just helps add to there efficiency, and life. The diesels ford used tell early 1994 are also full analog.

Don’t forget the Americans left behind and how Traitor Joe would not help them and tried to screw over anyone who tried to get them out… A friend of mine was there and said brand new trucks still had the stickers on the windows left behind, probably had the keys in the ignitions…

That prepper moved to a rural area but then moved back to the city. He will be bumped off and all his stuff taken pretty quickly and agree with your assessment. Radio transmissions maybe traps to find groups or peppers to find you and take what you have.

Your link is hacked. 😒

Great break down. You mentioned "City Prepping" is an oxymoron. I lived in a post collapse nation in 2003 in the capital of that nation (Kabul, Afghanistan) and witness first hand people making it and surviving. Was it easy for them? No, but they made it happen. What I found interesting was that the people outside of the towns had it the hardest as they were on their own. Definitely would love to chat more with you!

CP like most of the bigger "prepper" channels are a joke. He was so mentally and emotionally weak that he had literal anxiety attacks (his words on a video he shot) when he moved out of the city/suburbs so he had to move back into a MAJOR metro area. By definition, anyone who chooses to live in a MAJOR metro area (not commute to work) can't be taken seriously because they do not understand what a true societal collapse type situation would do to people and major cities. Too many playing preppers online and very few actual ones.

I live in a climate where for 3 months we travel on roads that are cleared / salted daily. I'd love it if you did a talk on this kind of situation because in 6hours after TSHTF you might be stuck for months until the snow melts.

I thought this was a good analysis of City Prepping's views on a grid down timeline. I was pleased that you were so positive on most of the CP ideas and offered your take on what was correct and incorrect from your point of view. I just finished both your books and have recommended them to my prepper friends and my CERT group.

Hi john,John, love your vids! My biggest concern is when grid goes DOWN,, what kind of generator to recommend? Gas, solar, propane! I mean, like HOW can you survive without electricity?? PLEASE ANSWER 🙏 0:13

Jonathan - your books are excellent. Listened to both on Audible. Thank you. Very hard hitting and eye opening. Regarding the Faraday Garbage Can - can that work or is it bs?

Please tell me where you got the Suite 4 panel art behind you of the Crusader

Basically you are up the creek without a paddle.

You mentioned clutch/starter switch. I vote for permanent bypass. If your clutch slave or master cylinder craps out you can put vehicle in first, crank starter and hit the gas. The vehicle will start in gear and will be moving. You can gently shift when the rpms hit the sweet spot. It's risk versus reward, but appear worth it.

I believe that there could be thousands of bad actors that are just waiting to take down the grid with rifle fire. Remember the Metcalf assault. I doubt that that they would use an EMP as they would know in minutes who did it, and retaliate instantly.

Question: What is the capacity of Iran with EMPs? Second part; with the new attack by Israel on the Iran embassy in Syria, does that up a possibility of retaliation on the USA?

Thanks for posting on utube Johnathan...

2:24...I am discovering their is a division in the Prepper community... two mindsets.... A Competitive survivalist vs Cooperative Survivalists. I hope that when Long term SHTF comes to my town, we continue to unite, and work as a team , to thrive and not just survive.

Is your vehicle EMP proof? Test 1, Crank it up and disconnect the battery, is it still running? Test 2, for how long? Test 3, disconnect aternator, is it still running? Test 4, crank it without battery?

Is it possible to put a modern day car into a faraday cage to keep it alive during an EMP?

They can go to McDonald’s or Kentucky fryed chicken

I have a question, I am looking at buying a 2006 Toyota Tundra automatic 4WD system. Is there somewhere where I can research if this is vehicle that would t be affected by an EMP?

As much as I enjoy this topic, and having the capability to protect my family from what is coming, the ultimate prep is to be a Born Again Christian, and be taken in the Rapture to escape what is coming upon the world.

2005 2500 chevy duramax with EMP shield installed ? Yes, No ??

I have a 2006 M1152 military HMMWV with the only electronic computer it has for the transmission in a EMP proof box. 25 gallon main tank and 2x 10 gallon backup cans. With its 6.5L turbo diesel I think im pretty sure i can at least get out of my city before shit falls apart. After that ill ditch the humvee for something else if i need to.
