I mortgaged the house and bought 2 commercial freezers and 4 large homeowner freezers, maxed out the credit cards to fill them with four years of food, and wrapped the electrical cords in aluminum foil, so I’m pretty much covered for whatever North Korea can throw at us.
Quick thinking.
But, if there is no electricity....

Sorry to tell you, but you wasted all your time and money. Very few electronics today would be effected by an emp. It was an extremely rare event when they tested the first bombs. And now it would be even rarer.Just plain old scare tactics. No truth to it. Don’t let the enemyies of freedom distract you from the real fight happening now by wasting your valuable resources on decoy worries.
An EMP detonation will fry the electrical grid. Your freezers will be worthless. It doesn’t matter what you wrap your electrical cords with.

As long as you have electricity.
You gonna plug them into the wall socket that’s connected to your circuit box that’s connected to the power lines that are connected to transformers with tons of circuits that will be fried?
Or are you going to connect them to your generator that will be fried?
Short of putting a generator in a Faraday cage, you’re screwed.
Perhaps I should have read the rest of the comments before posting. It’s clear to me now that you forgot your /s tag.
But seriously, generator in a Faraday cage, with a bunch of replacements for your necessities (boards for freezers/etc).
This is what I would do if I seriously thought an EMP was a threat.
I’m kind of a prepping skeptic. If I go all out and prep magnificently, all it takes is one person besides me to know that I have, when the system crashes I’ll have to be shooting people all day long, every day.
I think it’s more practical to buy things that will allow you to survive, hunting gear, etc. Some antibiotics, other medicines, flint, weapons, warm clothing, camping gear, one of those nice hand held water filters that can filter sewage , Iodine tablets, maybe a few packs of dehydrated water and some dehydrated food, perhaps a weeks worth. But why stock up on food/water? This makes you a HUGE target, and when the SHTF you need to be GONE , OUT, MOBILE.
“so I’m pretty much covered for whatever North Korea can throw at us.”
If there was to be an EMP occurrence, you have done nothing to protect yourself... Fortunately for you, it’s not going to happen anyway.
I hope your tinfoil is grounded.
How are you going to shield every the inductive coil from shorting out?
I’m curious, HOW do you propose to power all that stuff WITHOUT electricity? Better own some sizeable generators and lots of fuel if/when the “Red Dawn” actually happens.
ut oh, Now you done it.
A Christian, can quote the Constitution and this......Big Sis says you are a terrorist.
Glad to know you brother, me too!
I hope you held back enough money for a solar system. :-)
You would be better off to have propane refrigerators such as are in motor homes and trailers. They do not depend on electricity except 12 volt batteries for ignition, and a solar panel can continuously recharge the batteries.
