Re: EMP Proof Stashes
If I understand correctly, and Emp messes with circuitry in electronics and the grid a bit. A CME like cardington messes with power lines and transformers taking down the grid over a larger area. This gives info on both. http://www.thepreparednesspodcast.co...n-emp-and-cme/

Re: EMP Proof Stashes
Hence my comment about my decision in how I spend my prepping dollars and effort. EMP and wide spread, long term power outages make for good books, but not so much in reality when one digs into it. When weighing where I wanted to focus my efforts, I weighed all the probabilities of all of the things one could "prep" for and this fell off my list, along with extreme economic collapse and TEOTWAWKI. I'm thankful that pandemic bubbled towards the top, with local disasters such as tornadoes, flooding, snow, and the occasional hurricane topping it. As mentioned before, YMMV, folks certainly need to make their own decisions based on their budgets and other means.
Life has a melody. Not great, not terrible.

I wonder if the digital locks on a lot of gun safes these days are protected?

Re: EMP Proof Stashes
I apologize for my ignorance, I was reading this thread and a little confused about EMP protection. I was under the impression that like a faraday type device like the bags they sell for car key fobs that are insulated with RF protection was needed. It's as simple has throwing stuff in a metal box? Because if that's the case I can probably get some of this squared away myself with stuff I already own.

A simple galvanized garbage can with a lid will do the trick. Just make sure to line the inside of the can with cardboard and a piece on the bottom. No electronics should touch the metal sides of the can. Once the can is loaded, seal the lid with a copper or metallic HVAC duct tape. Put a strip along the seam of the can, the handles on the sides to seal all apertures.place it on a solid concrete floor...basement or garage would be my choice.
One can also make a Faraday cage out of metal window screen material. Its a little more involved but works nonetheless.
If you use one of the job site lock boxes, you should consider grounding it and making sure all openings are sealed.
There is a video which demonstrates the effectiveness of these approaches to sealing up valuable electronics. I couldn't find it...it was a Y boob channel.
