All nuclear weapons are capable of emitting EMPs.....the bigger the bang the bigger the EMP. Hydrogen bombs are bigger than Atomic bombs and were designed to destroy major cities or other stratigic targets (such as fields of missile silos) they are usually measured in megatons...one megaton...

Any unshielded electronic system can be fried by EMP...even if they are not in operation. It is the initial burst of powerful electromagnetic energy that does the damage. Cell phones, radios, hard line telephone systems, electic power grides, wind generators, solar power systems, satellites...

That is one thing the deuce has over newer vehicles.......EMP will not affect it. EMP will not affect batteries or alternators....just electronic ignitions. Most vehicles with the older points and distributor ignitions systems will not be affected either. EMP will disrupt or destroy any...

"I love it when a plan comes together".

It's a "DAMIFINO".

There will be warm air coming through the holes in the floor. If you put on a lot of clothes you will overheat. The biggest problem in a truck without a heater is the lack of defrosting capability....you can't see crap out of fogged up windows. Makes changing lanes in traffic a real adventure.

In old movies I have seen them start aircraft with a hand crank. I would assume that there was some sort of gearing system to make the engine spin fast enough to crank. Either that or some sort of compression release that allowed the engine to gain momentem before starting. I'm not a big fan...

I try to have a little bit of everything....including a big reference library. At one time (many years ago) I was a member of a local survival group....one time when it was my turn to host a meeting one guy was looking through my books on butchering. He was somewhat surprised (aghast...

Like married first cousins.

One of the issues I see with using animal based fats as a fuel would be the thickening once it cooled down from the rendering process. If you could find something to mix it with to keep it from clogging up tanks, filters and lines I would say you could use it as an emergency fuel. If you used...

Gimpyrob used to know a guy that knew a guy that was kin to a guy that knew where some were. They sold a chit load of them out of Ohio a while back. Shoot him a PM.

The standard multi-fuel is rated at around 140 HP on a good day. The deuce is prob not the best truck for what you have in mind. You are also going to have a real problem with the water in a Jacuzzi sloshing around and causing you balance issues. I would look at a school bus. Busses are...

No matter how bad the movie is I ain't leaving till it's over.

Not at my place...I got plenty of free range possums trained to come when I put out food. Kind of like a possum deli.:D

Probably the best and worst prepared group of people for when the WTSHTF are the old order Amish. They are mostly still off the grid and are fairly self-sufficient.....they are also pacifists which make them an ideal target for bad people. The best they can hope for is a group of decent folks...

There are three 10 tons within 5 miles of me....they all belong to the same guy. Unfortunantly I couldn't afford them even at scrap prices. And I don't need another project.auaauaaua

Well........the cat in the picture appears to be very well fed.

One thing to consider is how the commercial distribution of fuel works in this country. Fuel travels from refineries though pipelines to terminals where it is loaded onto tanker trucks that carry it out to the service stations. The pipelines are dependent on the grid to run the pumps (there...

That truck looks familiar.....I seem to remember something about those twin stacks. It may have been posted on here.

What he said. Colder than a Siberian well diggers butt.
