I read a post on how firefighters charge their phones when away. You need nine volt battery, a ball point pen, tape, 12 volt adopter with cord. The pens springy wire piece is what you will need from Pen. I’ll try to find directions and post.
Since nobody knows when an EMP is going to happen, we would have to have two cell phones, two laptops, two iPads, and any other electronic device we may feel we need and keep those spares in a faraday bag at all times? That hand crank radio has a circuitboard, so the EMP will fry it. Just buy extra everything and put it in a bag and stick it in your attic just in case or maybe keep it in your car.
Evertime I go in & have my 'outdated' phone replaced I bag it. Solar power banks, crank/ solar lites & radioes along w/ rechargeable batteries & several rechargers, 2 of em solar are stored too. Gets to be a habit. Walkie talkies nice too. Husband starting interest in Ham radios.
Ya the only way that would work is having duplicates of every electronic device in a bag all the time. Not many people can afford that. As for old iPhones you’d have to make sure any app on it can function with no internet. Other than books or some games and specific map apps that you download for off line use will work. So many don’t. Good info but not practical for many.
Great list I've got most of the list already bagged and tagged in storage , thank you for sharing we just don't know what might happen here soon if any , but it's best to be as prepared as you can be
@@nephilimivritt8216 the ones I have aren’t this one but I got mine off Amazon they block phone as well as ham radio signal so should do ok , fact is nobody can be sure they will work if a emp would happen but something is better than nothing
Ummm ☝️ if there was an EMP, how would your phone work if the cell towers are down & internet is down. You can’t call or text anyone, except play games if that.
The EMP [assuming it was from the solar flare first] will only target a broad area, not the entire earth. And its not going to be a blanket , there will be gaps and it comes down to chance. A state could be zapped entirely, or just a few cities, or even just one big central city. Satellites also orbit the earth, so we can also assume a few survived on the opposite of earth, orbit around and then send and recieve signals . Itd just be very low data and very slow given the distance. Cell towers are just big radios that connect devices to a network. And some are highly resistant to emps And even without a network, access to some information will be crucial and gps can get you to a safe spot.
@@assasin8913 who said I was worried about my phone? I was commenting on the video about using your electronic equipment after an EMP. I never said anything about me using a phone. You need to learn to read my friend.
Android phones and some iPhones give you basic maps, gps, e books, music, time, torch all kinds of stuff. Cell towers will also probably be one of the first things re built but phones themselves will be hard to come by.
There are quite a bit of prepping books/magazines. You all know about food prepping, buying in bulk, food proof containers, camp coffee pot with coffee grinds, powdered milk(box), spices, SEEDS, tools, sleep bags, tent, bug out bag, boots/extra socks, good gloves(work), generator if one can afford, batteries, head flashlights, flashlights for all, duck tape, extra propane bottles for camp stove, extra charcoal, oil lamps with extra oil and extra WICKS, barter items(cig/alcohol), extra gas for car, medicine, vitamin a supplements, WATER(bottled), food a needs for PETS, all your important papers and documents(fire proof box?) ready to go(extra copies), photo identification of your children a birth certificates, ready cash in small denominations, include coins, know how to turn off water and gas mains and shut down electricity, fire extinguishers?, all doors and windows have working locks, Manual can opener, extra reading prescription glasses, handi wipes a garbage bags for personal sanitation, extra hygiene products for women, paper and pencils. Place sleeping bags and spare clothing in plastic garbage bags(one for each family member). Keep your pets collar w current address a updated(keep a bug out bag pack ready for them containing all items they will need to survive away from home(leash, extra collar, 4/7 day worth of food water, feeding bowl, blanket, crate. Photograph your pet in case it get lost!!!!! Know what hotel will accept pets! Jumper cables, flares, protein bars, and I highly recommend a Preppers Survival Pantry Handbook and Preppers Medical Manual Handbook. BIBLE🙏
First ... go home, secure your property, have a gun on or close at hand ... you should already have spare food and a garden. Don't leave your house, it's your fortress. 😊🇦🇺
I'm confused about why anyone would waste space in a faraday bag meant to protect from EMP by cluttering it up with cell phones? It doesn't make any sense to me. They won't work. They would last a few hours without a charge and their only function would be the games that were downloaded on them, or the calculator, which wouldn't really help anyone survive, it would just distract you from impending threats.
You could put a couple of battery banks for your cellphone, your cellphone with tons of downloaded reference material, and a backpackers solar charger in emp proof bags and have an ultra lightweight library. I have an old Android phone that probably has 30 books on it with room for many more.
@whiteprivilegedenier7459 I bought EMP Faraday bags and there not a waste of money or space. Get a solar battery and solar charger put them in a Faraday bag and job done
@@whiteprivilegedenier7459 Cell phones could be a waste in the beginning if all the towers in the emp radius were destroyed, but eventually things would get fixed & you’d have a phone as soon as that happened, or you might be able to travel to an area that still had functioning towers.
So we have to have a second cell phone and a second laptop who can afford that plus you have to have your cell phone paid for and have the service already installed. That means you’ll have to pay for two cell phone service is going at once. Sounds crazy expensive
I bought a rugged cell phone just in case for a EMP put in a Faraday bag Prepping is no cheap thing but you can't buy a new life. If you go cheap you but twice
1.) If your specific electronics work, but all the other electronics AROUND you that you would otherwise "connect" to are not, what good are your electronics? 2.) Will batteries and solar-powered gadgets survive an EMP?
@@Battlboxsearch Jonathon Hollerman who sat on those commissions to harden our grid. Great guy. Read Jonathon Hollermans books or go to grid down consulting. Great information.
Are you talking about a car? I don't think it'll matter what car you have if the grid goes down. How are you gonna pump your gas? You'd have to siphon from standstill cars on the road, and I feel like just having a working car in times like that will just make you a target when literally nobody else has a working one lol
What's the point of a faraday bag if the EMP is going to wipe out all electricity. What are you going to do pull your phone out the faraday bag after an EMP and try to make a call to someone, HOW ? If all electricity is down after an EMP then how are you going to make a call to someone if theirs no cell service. Remember If an EMP does happen then it could effect the satellite's also depends on how strong the pulse is. Remember an EMP will be random so how are you going to put your phone or device in the faraday bag before an EMP happens and hope someone else across the world did the same thing. What are you going to do have a back you phone with another cell-plan for emergencies and hope someone across the world is thinking the same way you are. Not everyone has solar powered device to help them through an EMP and trust me you don't want to be the only house in the neighborhood with your lights on. Lets just say that you are a prepared citizen and you knew that an EMP was going to happen before it happens and you put all your devices in your faraday bays before hand you warned your friends and family before it happens too. Then boom the EMP strikes everything turns black in your neighborhood and city. Then your try to turn on the TV but you can't because of the EMP then you have to remember even if the TV did work then then how would you get the news if all the LOCAL TV news station have no power in the buildings. Then your try to find your family and friends in the dark because the EMP strikes at night time. You start to hear screams and shouting in the distance from outside your home, now everyone in your home is starting to panic because no one has experience nothing like this before. Then you remembered that you have prepared for this exact event because you have a hand cranked radio and a cellphone and a satellite phone in a faraday bag. Remember that there is no city back up power or no hand held flash lights because it's an EMP event and lets hope all your preps and not behind an electrical door because you won't be able to get to it unless you have a key, assuming it takes a key. Now you have found your faraday bag by luck in complete darkness and you pull out your hand crank radio and start cranking it LOL but you remember that this is stupid because even if you did get power LOL🤣 THEIR IS NO POWER IN THE CITY AND NO SIGNAL BECAUSE OF THE EMP.. Then your pull your phone out of the faraday back then you power it on and you get excited but then you look at the signal bars and there's none. So you try the good ole satellite phone ok so you have training with this device and you know that you will get the best (SIGNAL🤣) if you go outside and climb on your roof and point it at the sky so you try this BUT THEN YOUR HEART STOPS The EMP took out the satellite's. So now you can't contact other preppers or family and friends and you can't find out what's happening on the news because of the EMP. Let's say you prepared with your family and friends and neighbors about this exact event years ahead of time and you somehow find each other and start talking and trying to figure out a plan of action. Since there is no news then you will have to take someone else'e word for what is happening. Electrical components may not work for your electrical solar powered device. Just cause they are solar, it doesn't mean that are not electrical devices. An EMP could effect all electrical device on earth and out of space. But let's say your cell phone and satellite phone and your car survives 🤔 for how long🤔. We don't no if the EMP was caused by hackers and the problem could be worse than it appears to be. Have you seen the movie (Leave the World Behind) it came out in 2023 with Ethan Hawke Kevin Bacon and more. It could be a combination of hackers causing the EMP attack. You can prep and train ahead of time for SHTF but 99.999999999999999999999% will panic and mentally break after and during a real SHTF/APOCALYPTIC/EMP/NUCLEAR WAR event because most people in the world haven't experience nothing like that before. This is probably the longest comment in history but this was really to target the faraday bag and solar powered devices but everything else on this was spot on👍
The only problem I have with a faraday bag is, how are you gonna keep all of your electronic crap in it, when you have to use it? Which is pretty much most of the time.
I hear A LOT of people complaining about battle box and saying it’s a rip off and that customer service is non existent. Anyone have any input? I just signed up so I hope it isn’t true.
Some of the best customer service I’ve experienced. Twice in the last two years I’ve had a defective item in my box, most recently in the one just delivered. I contacted them and in less than 24 hours they had a replacement on the way. Doesn’t get much better, IMO.
@@BigRed56 Not at all. I have been consistently pleased with the contents, and often follow up with additional purchases either from BattlBox or the manufacturer. For instance, after seeing the body wipes in the last Mission I promptly ordered two full boxes. The only item that didn’t work for me was the sleeping bag. It was too small, so I sold it to a friend.
Personally, I refuse to hand my money over to a business that uses the stupid "Someone in Kansas bought the donkey shitter a few minutes ago" pop-ups on their website.
You won't, and a solar flare is more likely than an attack by far. Maybe you will be informed by the enemy over the devices that will no longer work after the attack.
And go ahead and practice making that homemade sourdough bread, canning, freeze drying, ect. You will be glad you did so you will know how and what you need to prep and keep to feed your family.
Honestly, most 'prepping' is psychological salve, just like the oxygen masks on a plane during an emergency. They look good, the pure oxygen gets you high to make death easier, but are ultimately useless.
Only one item is required and that is a very close relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, if u on the fence one foot in the world and one foot with the Lord u r in deep trouble and u better take this mans advice!
