Let’s say your car has broken down or run out of gasoline and you are miles away from civilization.

You have two options: You can walk out, or you can stay where you are and wait for help. There’s pros and cons to both plans, but either way, don’t allow your vehicle to simply sit there and go to waste. If your life is in danger, you can strip your vehicle and use various items for survival. You can be creative in what you do, but to give you an idea of how your vehicle can keep you alive, here are six things you can remove from your car and utilize to survive:

1. Seat Belts

If you lack rope or cord, use the seat belts! Extend the belts for as far out as they will go, and then cut them. You can use the seat belts to tie and secure a shelter, or you can unravel them into smaller strands to make fishing line. You even can use them as makeshift slings.

2. Windows

Improvise, improvise, improvise. A knife is arguably the most useful survival item in the history of mankind, and having one when lost in the wilderness will be quite handy.
