Another awesome place to find ideas, survival or not, is instructables.com

I found an solar oven that is sooo easy to make, that even I can do it.. solar cooker

(note: at least one of the sections has sound so turn down your volume if necessary)

That technique will only work for older vehicles circa 1980s, and with GM style solenoid. Ford style solenoids, and some imports from the 80s still wouldn't work. Newer cars are virtually impossible to hotwire in enough time to make a getaway. If your car has a VATS or similar anti-theft ignition, the ECU will not power the crank position sensor unless the chipped key is in the ignition. These cars are impossible to hotwire. Ok, not impossible, but maybe 2 people in 50,000 have the equipment to do it.

So if you're going to hotwire a ride in a SHTF scenario think old, and simple. Anything mid 90s and newer will be really hard, and anything around 2001, and newer virtually impossible without special (read expensive)tools/skills.

A collection of survival and self sufficiency related pdfs can be found at survivalstation.org/dl If you're looking for something in particular, let me know, chances are I have it.

Just thought I would state that I'm not trying to promote my site but rather share what I have had freely available.

My computer for some odd reason has all of a sudden started to save files off the net in
C:\Documents and Settings\(my name removed for posting here)\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5


It would then refuse to even find them when I did a search for them. I have to be carefull to change the file path on every save or go there and get them. I have to do a override to get them then.

It just started that mess when I down loaded the lastest Adobe Reader. I have done some checking and a lot of people are having the same problem. That is the default path to save files to and it CAN NOT BE CHANGED to another default path. You have to change the path manually everytime. A lot of people are not happy at all about.

And just in case any of you might want to see what else that site has to offer, the directory index works:

modernsurvivalonline.com...

I'd suggest downloading only what's interesting. Leeching everything could end up costing the site owner $$$ if he/she doesnt have unlimited bandwidth.

Enjoy.

And what make and model vehicle would this work for? Because I don't think this would be useful for any vehicle made after 2000.

Excellant post and extremely useful. Those born in the 1930-1940s would still know some of this stuff.
