I sit roughly 1 mile from the third largest stockpile in the US. I won't have to worry long if one detonates......neither will anyone within a 90 mile square radius. That is roughly the blast corridor of just a single safe one. A radius is not square. Zim

would an emp destroy a transfomer or just the circuit boards? computer chips and that kind of stuff. aren't most of those circuits inside a grounded metal box? isnt a metal box another word for Faraday cage? EMP is very destructive to electronics.....all airborne planes hit would crash for instance....

You guys give the "hordes" too much credit, most if not all city folks will die curled up in a ball sucking their thumbs in their tiny apartments. Yup...nobody will get any further than the gas in their tank.

Yup...nobody will get any further than the gas in their tank. Hunger tends to make all animals more ambitious and turns the fat and lazy into thin and fit . Now if they can survive long enough to figure out how to feed themselves some other way than taking from others is another story entirely. Heck most folks on this forum would have no idea how turn corn,soybeans ,milo , acorns ,and whole grain rice or wheat into something palatable and nutritious. We are all hunters and trappers but very few are foragers. I doubt MOST (NOT ALL )on here have even successfully started a fire using primitive techniques .

I had a discussion with a guy apparently planning on bugging out to the country . I told him it was best to stay where he was at. I told him it was people like him that were my biggest concern. Not for his safety but for me and mine.
I recall watching the news when things started falling apart in Venezuela (?) and the food shortage started the folks that lived in the country were victimize by city marauders- murder, rape, pillage, plunder.

Private gun ownership was banned in Venezuela. In America those hordes of city dwellers might make a good alternative food source for country folk.

EMP is very destructive to electronics.....all airborne planes hit would crash for instance.... Marty, if I think of it I'll ask the avionics techs at work tonight if that applies to military aircraft, as I recall in the late 1980s on the A model UH-60 Blackhawks, we were converting all the wiring to a shielded type so a garage door opener would not bring one down [I am not making that up...] We were having problems with the Stab actuator's driving un-commanded - which believe me is a real bad thing. To this day, all Blackhawks have a manual slew pinkie sw. on the cyclic sticks..... I'm almost positive that all the white tops - VH aircraft [Presidential] are all protected against EMP I'm now curious about other military aircraft. As for civilian FAA aircraft, yeah.... I think you are right on the money - especially since everything today is fly by wire - which I am still not sold on. I suppose a good question would also be how would an EMP affect today's modern automobile... lots of them are fly by wire too. *wish my 79 C-10 truck was running.... that had none of that crap which is used today.

How do you protect these electronic devices, other than making a Faraday (sp?)Cage.....and exactly what is a Faraday Cage? According to most prepper/survivalist books it is simply a metal box. Would a metal sided/roofed pole barn then be a Faraday Cage???????
