After the EMP all stores , fuel stations and the ability to resupply fuel or stores will be gone likely for at least one year if the now disbanded United States EMP commission is correct in their warning . So going any distance is mute for most folks if they are not up for walking . -- However I could see wanting a useable vehicle to make a last desperate dash whether it was to rescue someone caught in the wrong place or trying to reach a bug out location , that is if they have the fuel on hand for such a trip . -- My tribe has workers that sometimes work thousands of miles from our survival retreat , so that is one several reasons that I bought a 1946 airplane that will even fly on regular car gasoline . All we need to do is be able to communicate to the stranded tribe members and I can send in an airplane to fly over the panicked and desperate people on the ground , land at most any airport , scoop them up and return them to our survival grounds . Actually I have two of our group about 2 thousand miles away as of right now . The bad thing is one of those is our piolet . --- As for as the communication thing for retrieving someone , I am in the process of setting up a ham radio base station . The radio is sitting by my computer on the desk right now but am going to need to do some more antenna adjustments . -- Well I need to get off here , grab my shovel , and get back to work , getting ready for the Nuking .
