Assuming that there wouldn’t be advance notice of NEEDING to protect devices, am I understanding it right that there are some things one would want to have after an emp attack that you’d put in a protective area like having extra cans in your pantry for an emergency. If so, what extra devices would one expect to have duplicates of to put away?
Absolutely. Need to get back into the habit of trading my Kindles in and out of the military grade EMP bags. And the solar charger, too.
Gee, I’m not that good at this stuff. But for example, I have a lap top that I take with me when I travel, so I could simply store it that way with little effort or inconvenience.
I have hand crank radio and battery operated multi band radio that I don’t use daily. I have extra boom box radio/cd player that can operate on batteries.
Most important, I need to get a backup for a cpap machine and battery. I do have a portable solar generator that will run cpap for a couple of nights without recharging, but I’d like something additional, as we can’t always depend on Sun here.
I have a couple of battery operated fans that could be stored in the same manner. IIRC, Marcella told me that if electronics were not plugged in they would not be impacted.
IIRC, cars engines and generators that are not running and are unplugged are ok as is, but as I said I’m no expert, and at the mercy of what people more knowledgeable tell me.
cell phones wouldn’t be much use after an EMP -
flashlights, batteries, portable radios ???,
I’d say, stock liquor, toilet paper, salt (learned this from the book, Alas Babylon!), sugar, and lots of macaroni...good for trading...
