Things are getting a little sketchy right now, thought a Faraday cage would be something at the last of my preps, but now thinking I’d best get that up and sound. Anything is on the table right now. Stay safe all and thanks again JR

[@diypreppertv]

Thank you Mike!

[@gavinburnett5641]

Something to bear in mind with using an old laptop as a data store is that if it is placed in a faraday cage and not powered up for some time, the data on the hard drive can degrade - a phenomenon known as bitrot. It takes years to happen - but it is still a risk. It can be prevented by powering up the laptop every few months to check the data on it is ok. Programs such as disk fresh can be used to keep the data intact.

[@markcocks5295]

Many thanks for that useful info.

[@trekker8033]

I keep 2, not 1, but two emergency radios with spare batteries in 2 different types of Faraday cages in 2 separate locations on my Property. I am trying to get a 3rd one as well currently. That is beside everything else I have prepped in many years as a Prepper. Thanks DIY Prepper for all your insights!

[@44Special]

Very useful information. Lots of new ideas for the faraday bucket. Thanks man

[@TheMargo420]

JR. This is the most informative channel on KZbin. Thank you!

[@BigBlue1026]

Great video, thank you JR. The first thing that went in my Faraday bags was a Geiger counter. Next was a smaller solar generator with solar panel and a MacBook.

[@danam.8709]

I've decided that because of the vulnerability a generator creates I have moved mine to include it only in my medical preps. Additionally I have added another 30 pound propane tank (full) specifically to make sure I can Can any food on hand at such a time.

[@PaEMT_FF9]

Propane doesn’t expire. I try to always prep at least a dozen filled twenty pounders.

[@RitaH247]

This video has so many items I hadn’t thought about. Thanks so much!

[@Lonewolf259]

Great video JR and thanks for sharing. We all need to better our preps in this current environment to ensure survival. What a time, but another example of how important it is to be ready. Cheers from Alberta!

[@CosmicTaco333]

Good vid. I keep in mind Dave Canterbury's "5 C's" of minimal survival (Cutting tool, Cordage, Combustion device, Cover, Container) and the three B's of logistics that I learned many years ago in boot camp: Beans, Bullets, Bandages. I've tried to add to all of these things over the years and hope I can survive what's coming.

[@AnOdeto-uv3cj]

How much ammo should one keep in stores?

[@djo9941]

Greatly appreciate your videos. You explain in a way that is clear, concise and easy to understand. Thanks.

[@kimberlybrokaw1511]

Followed your advice and now have one in my cave. Pretty easy - only took about an hour. Love your channel

[@robertcritchley1338]

Hi, JR. Thank you.

[@Guns_RedRoses]

A metal truck tool box is also a good choice to make a Faraday cage. Also copper foir tape works better than aluminum.

[@sheliadean9548]

Thank you for sharing this information with us.

[@diypreppertv]

You’re welcome Shelia! Thanks for watching!

[@paulschwartz2464]

Good info, as usual. I'd like to see a vid on what actually can/will happen during an EMP event either naturally from the sun or man made. There seems to be a LOT of contradictions out there as to what will be effected. We can't cage everything we might need but if we knew that certain items for SURE would be knocked out we could plan accordingly. Duplicating everything that "could be vulnerable" isn't all that cost effective and would require the purchase of a shipping container sized faraday cage.

[@jonathanstevey1748]

A battery bank, radios, lights, solar panels...store in the cage. No one knows 100% what would happen but an emp would destroy the power grid.

[@enkisson666]

As far a saving phones, laptops and tablets, download a few movies if you can. If you have a means to charge, those movies will be morale boosters for sure. My Delta 2 can power my PS4 slim and a 40in tv on just 70W/hr. If i wanted to i can watch all 3 Lord of the rings or 3 episodes of Star Wars in one day if need be.😅

[@oldbloke204]

Or have some books, board games or whatever....................................................

[@RandoMuser-h1o]

all i can think of is Will Smith in I am Legend, muttering the lines to a movie, it didn't seem so morale boosting.

[@tammydexter8855]

Thank you for the info. I feel like we are close to either a EMP or some other attack, maybe nuclear? Things have just been so crazy you have to be prepared for anything.

[@ibpositivemostly7437]

You have given me all kinds of things to worry about.😮

[@davidblanchard5252]

EMP is probably the only thing I've never prepared for. Every thing else is mostly covered. Anything electric or electronics can be affected the EMP. The peace and quiet should be super, but the other things needed will be. Thank you JR for your series, very useful survival information.

[@ritahassing2533]

Wow, youre really smart! Im going to have to rethink this! Im kind of confused with how to create a faraday cage. Arrrgh

[@brendaosterkamp4925]

Thanks Jr what about batteries for cars.

[@largo5348]

This is great information!👍

[@carolinaprepper6603]

thanks to you I got a large metal trash can. keep my solar gens. etc. how do I protect my solar panels?

[@christopherhorton821]

Not all rechargeable batteries would survive a emp. A lot of them have a small bms circuit built inside of them to regulate the charging and discharging. If you are using rechargeable batteries then wrap them with several layers of foil and foil tape, and wrap a usb battery charger as well. Use 5 to 6 layers of foil to protect them and seal it with the foil tape. Most solar charger controllers now have usb ports on them that you can use to recharge the batteries with a usb battery charger. Just know that Any battery will lose power just sitting.

[@dalestoner2928]

I keep any electronics that have a circuit board on it. Solar generators and Solar panels are in Faraday Bags with anything with USB Port to recharge.

[@edwardtham8183]

This is a great video with lots of info. Many thanks. However, I do have a question: can a large stainless steel cooking pot be used as a faraday cage. Pls advise.

[@gardengirl7258]

Hearing and being reminded of these suggestions just highlights how greatly my ex husband failed me, and continues to fail himself. Any man who fails to safeguard his family (when having the financial means to do so) will be the downfall of many family units.

[@scoutndad1941]

Some men aren’t even aware or concerned about prepping. You must be concerned about your family and friends so much moreso by taking matters into your own hands instead of blaming someone. You sound like one of those men bashing feminist weaklings. Be a strong woman and don’t waste energy on an ex that doesn’t matter anymore. No one wants to hear it.

Will outdoor repeaters still work with GMRS after an EMP attack?

[@IndependentNewsMedia]

God bless.

[@HeartTurnedToStone]

Thank you for all your great tips! Just curious.... Is there an easy & inexpensive way to "Faraday Cage" an entire room?

[@diypreppertv]

I imagine a mesh material, like copper would work, but it would be expensive. Anything conductive in a large enough quantity to cover a room, including the floor and ceiling would probably be pretty pricey. Thanks for watching!

[@dalestoner2928]

That would hard to do.

[@sherylfetik4126]

Can a steel filing cabinet be used as a faraday cage?

[@bobsblues9944]

I use filing cabinets of all different sizes , just have to tape the seams and the opening with metal tape and line the inside with some non conductive material

@@bobsblues9944 Thank you. I have seen the use of non conductive materials in faraday cages. Which materials would you suggest?

If a person put burner phones each in its own emp bag and gave one phone in bag to each family member would that be a good plan? If there was any service you could connect? Not trackable? Thoughts?

Would my big liberty gun safe work for a faraday cage? It’s got a dial lock… It’s nice n fireproof. Also, are Mylar bags good to use? I have a lot of extra bags. Thank you

Light discipline = shoot here. Thought someone on my team was smoking a cigarette. Nope, a ground burst simulator that did not "warn". That will clear your sinuses. My drone and a tablet (full of documentation) are protected with everything else. Did not think of power tools, gonna need another garbage can. Good info on the maps! Remember, stack beans and brass before gold and silver. But have some. At least junk silver.

The biggest issue is when we get hit by an emp, it’s likely that everybody’s house will be on fire. So your container has to be either in somewhere outside your main house or by the exit.

Not necessarily. Look into high altitude emp...

👉Have you trusted in the 🩸blood🩸 of Jesus ✝👈? Here is the bad news, we are ALL sinners and our sins separate us from a holy and righteous almighty God. Here is the good news, Jesus died for the forgiveness of all sins to anyone who believes in his finished work on the cross where he died, was buried, and resurrected on the third day. Paying the sin debt that we could never pay by ourselves and giving all believers in his sacrifice the promise of eternal life. For by grace are we saved through faith in Christ; and that not of yourselves; it is a gift from God; not of works, lest any man should boast. We are seconds away from disaster! Please find Jesus before it is too late because tomorrow is not promised! 🙏♥🕊
