I read a great thread online about using an old microwave as a Farraday cage. Wish I would have known that as I sold my early 80's monster at garage sale last month! <br />Great advice again in your post.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305198483214282911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-51013284933083750272009-05-15T04:33:00.000-07:002009-05-15T04:33:00.000-07:00I have many backup items Faradayed such as two way...I have many backup items Faradayed such as two way and shortwave radios an extra A/C inverter,GPS and a laptop computer. Of course the web will be down but the laptop can be used for viewing CDs and DVDs.<br />They are simply boxed and gift wraped (if you will) with space/emergency blanket material.<br />These items as well as some electronic ignition tools,backup generator, chain saws, ect. are stored in an aluminum shed that is well grounded with a 3/4 X 48" copper rod.<br />Hope I never have to find out if all this was worth it!Northwoodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14848263728568617253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-25442411366523080182009-05-14T14:01:00.000-07:002009-05-14T14:01:00.000-07:00I would recommend reading the EMP Commission repor...I would recommend reading the EMP Commission report from about a year ago and the novel "One Second After". EMP is a killer for the US. All of your preps are a good idea. The one piece of good news is that the effect of EMP on cars is not as bad as once thought due to more recent EMP tests on vehicles. Most will still run but the EMP will cause a lot of accidents and kill a lot of secondary systems in the car.Dr. Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12435884108289624212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569971501728849222.post-57897741855047013302009-05-14T13:02:00.000-07:002009-05-14T13:02:00.000-07:00Sure wish I could find an old Cummins 4B diesel fo...Sure wish I could find an old Cummins 4B diesel for the Jeep....
