  1. The EMP, CME, Grid-Down, No Power SHTF Forum
    I want to protect an emergency handcrank radio in my bugout bag from a possible electro magnetic pulse. I want to do that by wrapping this radio in a mylar food bag. Can I improve this EMP protection by using multiple layers of mylar bags? If so, how many layers of mylar would you recommend...
  2. The EMP, CME, Grid-Down, No Power SHTF Forum
    First problem is that I went on Amazon and found this huge table of specifications unknown to me. What are the main characteristics I should care about? and the second problem is that I could order anything from Amazon but how do I check the reliability on my own? That those specifications...

    OK, first off, I've not been active on the forums in almost 10 years. Not for any other reason than I just sort of stepped away from the Internet. Turned off social media channels, stopped using Gmail... just got tired of being plugged in. So, instead I chose to go online using a more secure...

  6. Firearms General Discussion
    I've been shopping online for a small home safe, and I've noticed that nearly all safes now have digital keypads. Apparently the general population really likes the James Bond touch, and doesn't realize what a truly bad idea this is. Electronics malfunction. All it takes is a strong solar...

    EDITED BECAUSE I THINK FOLKS ARE MISSING THE POINT: I believe we are on the brink of war and civil war. We are living in the last days. I think folks are missing the point: Both these pastors saw the coming of covid and the riots and are now predicting extreme dark violence and eventually...

    I read a lot about the danger of an EMP attack from North Korea. Some guy in the Pentagon even wrote a book on it. I'm going to take the contrarian position and say it's currently unlikely for the following reasons: 1) According to the rocket scientists, Dictator Good Hair doesn't currently...
  9. The Tech Zone
    Hey Guys and Gals, I just thought I would see what everyone thought about the EMP Shield. Here is the website: https://www.myempshield.com It's techy so, figured this may be the thread to get opinions. I'd love to hear the good, bad and ugly. I've already seen some great stuff and nasty...
  10. Vehicles, Transportation, & Overlanding
    I've been reading about how many of you want an older car or truck with simple electronics, so it won't be very vulnerable to the electromagnetic pulse that accompnies a nuclear explosion. I wonder if it is very difficult to protect a newer vehicle from EMP? I know our military has many planes...

    Is an EMP Attack on America Possible? The following information was gleaned from this site. http://www.businessinsider.com/north-korean-emp-attack-the-dark-possibility-2017-7 If an EMP attack did take place, it would be beyond anything we have seen before. The Commission to Assess the Threat...

    I don't think anybody knows, but any guesses or hard info? Naturally I wouldn't expect much of it to survive.
  13. Manmade and Natural Disasters
    Hey all, I was freaking out a bit over the two North Korean satellites and started doing some research. I eventually came to the conclusion that the satellite risk seems quite low, not because it isn't possible (it is), but because it would be far far easier to hit the US in other ways...
  14. Disaster Preparedness General Discussion
    At the end of a geology retreat, our conversations revolved around an EMP. We discussed short distance (size of a house) EMPs that we can make (though illegal, from disposable cameras) and I brought up the possibility of larger EMPs being released over major cities or communication byways. Then...

    Was just wondering if there was a massive EMP would your watch still run?

    How resistant is a solar power bank to EMP? If it is vulnerable, is there any way to protect it or rebuild it if damaged? EMP has to be the greatest international military threat, e.g., launch from container ship off coasts. Think nut cases of Iran and Korea. Thanks.

    Calling all electrical engineers, HAM operators, or EMP shielding experts! ;) I have 8 Baofeng UV-5R radios. 2 of them we use around the farm. But the other 6 have just been sitting in their cardboard boxes . Figured it was time to protect them. So, I can pack 2 radios in a standard 1 gal...
  18. DIY - Do It Yourself
    I have purchased an 18x21 metal garage situated on an asphalt pad to park my car. Will this serve as a Faraday cage in case of an EMP? Do I need to do something special to make it one? Thanks.

    On Thursday President Obama signed an executive order for "Coordinating Efforts to Prepare the Nation for Space Weather Events" -- i.e. solar flares that cause an EMP. https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2016/10/13/executive-order-coordinating-efforts-prepare-nation-space-weather-events...
