Government studies have a fatality rate at 80 percent of the population just two years after an EMP, either Natural or Manmade. There has NEVER been a weapon invented that has not been used. Even with my preparations, I think my chance of survival is very low. Then again, I didn’t expect to live this long. How long we live is really up to God I suppose. For those that do survive they may wish they hadn’t. An EMP would be the worst case senario. Biblical catastrophe. Mass starvation, disease, murder desperate would be an understatement.

@superbungabunga Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The morally bankrupt are going to get a real wakeup call and go through some real life changing corrections. But maybe that is what this is all about. Living in a world of filith and trying to raise children in the modern sodom and gomorrah makes a person start dreaming of sulfur rain, Judgement and Justice.
there goes all the digital porno, its a good idea to have magazines just in case of an EMP
My friend you have a seriously useful and interesting channel. Thank you!
Would a steam engine be a good investment?
@fireengineer LOL! you are pointless. Do what you want. I will prepare for the worse.
Yes those would make great f-cage but the only way it would be effective is if it was grounded very well.
if u made a concret box and put it underground with your electrinmics would it survie an emp
@kaneyoushie Well, theory would have it that the natural gas would be cut off as well. In an EMP grid down senario pretty much everything coming into your house would be off. It’s all controlled with chips.
If a EMP did happen should one shut off the Natural Gas headed to their house?
I love your videos,
I hear tinfoil is good, wrap the devices in it and store it, after EMP event.
unwrap and use.
I want to know if you know, on how much tinfoil will i need to wrap, say on a handheld radio, Well actually it don’t matter on what, but how much wraps around ( how many layers do i need ) do i wrap for full-on secure guaranteed protection?
would you happen to know, although i think a couple wraps will do
@TheDomSkill
LOL. Try not to offer advice on things you obviously know nothing about.
If any of you are truely interested in studying the potential effects of an EMP attack I would HIGHLY recommend “One Second After by William R Forstchen.
Most if not all electronic military equipment used by the US has built in shielding, even at the circuitry level.
There are plenty of things youcan do against an EMP. And plenty of people are doing them.
Don’t measure other people by your limitations.
My advice to you is a fool should be quite for the most part, lest he sounds like a fool.
@zachmaster2000 Yeah but it is true, most of the people will die out, because of ignorance, and not preparing for anything. What is funny is that if they see you storing up and food or other resources they will tell on you, or think that you are weird or something, after that they start to hate the people who prepared for bad times. Our countrymen are brainwashed not to think for themselves, all they care about is using up all the resources that they can, and keeping up with the Jones!
Check out my channel Yankee. I too am very interested in PV survivability. I know my inverters and charge controllers will need to be kept back and shielded, but what about the panels? Great channel BTW!~
i looked up the casulty rate in america in the evet of an emp….89%… scary.
Your thoughts on gathering those like minded individuals together for beer is very interesting. THAT would be better than Sturgis ! Call it the “Patriot Pilgrimage”. What can we do to explore the possibile reality of this?
Haha!
It does start to sound like that after I have had 4 to 6 of them,
I thought Smithwick’s was pronounced “Shmiticks”
What a great video. The diodes in solar panels are blocking diodes they are not neaded when panels are in parralel Xantrex charge controllers will not backfeed the array. In worst cases a human can be a great charge contrller with a simple switch on off.
You don’t actually need to ground a Faraday cage for it to be effective, but to avoid arcing from it toward ground (you may not want it to hit you) you may want it grounded. Use 1-strand Cu/Fe conductor, if a lightning hits it a multistrand may literally explode.
Make good connections between all metal sheets and parts.
For the solar panel you could use some fine metal “mosquito net” but the cable would also need shielding and that would have to be connected to all other shielding.
It would help even if not grounded or connected to anything (passive). Avoid risk of sparks tho.. if the shield is passive it will not transfer current to the cable/gear directly but possibly as induction.
A passive and insulated layer inside it can reduce the reactive effects drastically..
As a thumb rule they will, but limited to the openings where .. oh, I think, 1/8 of wavelength is the border of the “high pass filter” effect.
Then, the cables may collect and introduce transient voltages into the circuitry, especially when stretched out or coiled, depending on .. vectors.
Folded back and forth will counter the “antenna effect”.
Ferrite toruses and similar may counter transients. Powergrid transients may be extreme.
