EMP survival faraday boxes   do you need one
risks to EMP  Power Grid Failure Nuclear Event
hi it's AlaskaGranny have you thought about
prepping
and what it really means  Prepping means trying to 
think about the risk that you have and
trying to mitigate or reduce your risk
to the different things that you might
be concerned with so I was reading about
EMP's   electromagnetic pulses
and
things like solar flares
nuclear bombs and I think
I can remember when there were no cell
phones there were no
computers there were no
microwave ovens  and television  tv  was in black and
white
for me worrying about something
that's going to  take
those things away was something that
I thought
I'm not share that and EMP and risk of losing electronics
is something that I am worried about if you
think about
the electromagnetic pulses and their
actual  uses in today's society for
example the microwave oven
uses the electromagnetic pulses   and  keep the EMP pulses 
inside a microwave oven
to use them for good  some people
say
if you have an old microwave oven  you can
use it to protect things
so there you  take your old microwave oven  stuff things in it that you're concerned
about
are electronic and you want to have it
there is an emergency
did you realize it elevators have you ever beenn 
in an elevator
and then you're  cell phone  didn't work
because the metal around an elevator
is a  natural   protector to EMP electromagnetic pulses
from EMP events have you thought
about
your USB or coaxil cables  those  have
protection around them
and they're protecting the
things inside from actually coming
out so that's the uses that these
things have
there are  booster bags and they're saying
you can get a booster bag to  protect your
electronics from an EMP   but the most common usage of a booster bag is by shop lifters
because they go in
and they put things in a booster bag so that their
little radio frequency devices inside
then can't be heard by the store
security systems
and then there are electrical line men
that wear suits to protect them
from the  high-powered
voltage and those types of things
these are very good  uses but I'm not sure that
I need to worry
about having a Faraday box
and maybe you've heard about it where
you're supposed to take aluminum foil
and plastic wrap
three layers that aluminum foil
and some plastic  wrap   wrap it around
your things like radios
flashlights  batteries computers cell phones
seriously if the world is
coming to an end you are going to worry about
having
your computer
then you put all this electronic equipment in
a  garbage like a metal garbage can that is  lined with cardboard boxes
so if you are concerned with that go
ahead and do that
that for myself I'm not sure that if
we're really in terrible situation
that I  want to worry about having a computer
cell phone  a walkie-talkie a ham radio
I want to make sure that I have enough
food and water
to feed my family I want to  make sure that
I have some candles
because if you look at research people
in emergency situations
all over the globe  have no access to
any of these things
they want food  water and a little bit
of heat and warmth
for their families  while I have been
reading How to Build A faraday box
how to protect myself from the loss of
electricity computers and all that
stuff
I have decided for my family that that's not a  risk that I am willing prepare for and so
I hope you'll think about it and decide
what is  extremely important to you and your family
leave a comment and let you think about
prepping  or building  a faraday cage or  box and
worrying about
the electromagnetic pulses or nuclear
bombs going off  how you're going to prepare for
that
if that's a concern for you because I'm
trying to
prioritize my list  I'm thinking
that's just not one emergency that  I'm going to  think about
