A good sealing method is to use adhesive aluminum tape used for HVAC sealing of duct work. I use it as a method to ground items all the time. Also it allows for a good connection to the frame using a sheet metal screw.

Those "FAT" ammo cans make great rocket stoves!

Love your channel, Miss Lily. I am grateful for the time you spent researching this topic, and especially for sharing that information in a demonstration. That the protection from EMP can be so affordably easy is a wonder to me. This has set a fire under me to readjust my thinking, and stop passively accepting failure.

I thought those old style round galvanized steel / metal trash cans / bins (they come in all different sizes) was a cheap Faraday cage, just put something inside so your electronics don't touch the metal. (In a survival situation those trash cans / bins that can actually hold water/ rain water catch would be useful in many ways anyway.) But I don't know if they are chemically coated with paint or protected where you would have to scrape the rim of the and and the bottom of the lid to guarantee a solid electrical connection?

After the EMP is over, at least you will have working devices. GMRS radios are extremely useful, but you have to be able to charge them (via solar or some sort of generator). Your smart phone is also a camera, word processor, calculator, etc. You can have an internal network, which is how the internet was created. At some point you will be able to connect with other people. The government will make sure that their networks are protected in their "continuity of government" bunkers, so if you last long long enough, you'll be able to make contact. Getting, learning to use, and protecting a bicycle generator, charge controller, inverter and some deep cycle batteries is also something to think about. If you can protect your car (with a Faraday cage car cover and maybe some sort of surge protector), it is also a 12V generator. The issue is that it needs gasoline. If some EMP happens, there will be many fried cars with gasoline in their tanks that could be syphoned out to run your car or generator. Lots to think about.

Very good video Miss Lilly

Great tip" Thanx Lilly..

Awesome idea !!

Try an aluminum/ or stainless steel trash can. Line it with cardboard, way more space than the microwave but cool ideah!

awesome job 👌

For the devices that charge off of grid power, get a small 100-200 watt inverter. Here in the US it would be a 12VDC to 120VAC inverter. Not very big, but you can hook it to a 12 volt battery or the solar panel and plug your devices into it. Don't forget to put it in the Faraday Cage!!

Probably worthwhile to put the battery in there too as they have a Battery Management System built in which is probably pulse-vulnerable.

Your videos are always very interesting and you learn a lot of useful things. Hello, good day👍

Pretty cool idea. About the items to store, I would add a flashlight, LED and other electronic parts are vulnerable and the metal casing is open to the glas front. Maybe a fiever thermometer also if you do not use one with mercury.

Lilly, you can get USD cords that fit those radio chargers and they work very well.

FYI you need to cut the cord off entirely.. the cord will pick up energy and transmit it into the inside of devices.. you either need ferrites or to remove the cord entirely.

I started to update my bug-out bag. I took out the crank radio. For me, if the ga-ga has hit the fan that bad that I am bugging out, there won't be many radio stations working. Similarly, I took out my suture kit and tourniquet. If things are really bad, what good will stopping a lot of bleeding if the infrastructure you'd really need after the first-aid, is also gone. It's about a four day walk to my bug-out location. Worst case. So I'm going to make a secure burial system for all the bug-out items I no longer want to transport and leave them safe at my bug-out spot.

Lilly. Does the Faraday Cage have to be grounded? I'm not sure where in my house I would find those wires. I see those wires sometimes in bathrooms. I never knew what they were for. I don't think I have them in my bathroom. If I only have a bucket, does that need to be grounded? Could I go to the recycling centre and beg for an old microwave someone is throwing away, and then pimp the microwave up to be a Faraday Cage?

grounding will increase the chance that your gear survives. but also without grounding you will have a good faraday cage.

An emp will hit faster than you can blink. Unless you plan on leaving your stuff in there, it won't work

It isn't like a radio frequency, it's more like 20,000 volts.

The exhaled air from the mask goes through a pipe downward and through a one way valve into a hip worn container that has an isopropyl / bleach mixture inside, before the air vents to atmosphere. I did consider UVC sterilisation for expelled air, but chose not to go that route, in order to avoid the high power requirements (and its limitations in a disaster environment) Pipe sizes and 2x HEPA filters where chosen for air flow, to make sure it was easy to breathe (no flow restrictions on normal and light load usage) and so could be worn comfortably for extended periods.

Now thats what i call homemaking .

i think id rather keep my seals,for water protection, and put auminum foil, and/or aluminum/copper tape, on the outside, and seal the gap that way. I would also scrape off paint between lids/doors, and solder on connection wires between parts to make sure everything is one solid container.

I'm not an electrician, but depending on how the actual grounding in your house is realized, isn't it the case that the grounding part of the cable works as a very large antenna? Which, in case of an EMP, would be contraproductive. Does someone reading this comment know more?

Should be easy enough to modify wall plugs to work with whatever power source you have even if you just have to wrap some bare wire around the plug no?

In a thunder storm, a discharge happened directly above my satellite system. it didn't damage the panels or controller, but fried an expensive inverter. I think I'll store extra inverters in a microwave.
