Hello and thank you for your good videos,,,but😮 in a short video can you put your smartphone inside and outside of that faradebag and call it in order to people like me belive..this bag is working in that situation or not?
I thougjt for a faraday cage you didnt want a rubber seal on the lids. electricity needs to flow thru vessel. seal prevents lid from touching body. a wired ground wired needs to be connected to a proper ground pole as well for the charge to dissipate into the ground. some say using an airtight plastic tote works better. have you seen any info on that?
Non magnetic aluminum or low magnetic stainless steel is not good for faraday cage. Best is some kind of perm-alloy with over 80% content of magnetic nickel.
All our faraday cages have an itemized list attached to each container for quick reference. After an attack don't be real quick to open all the cages and keep them sealed when not in use in the event of a second or third attack.
Yea, Good Point. after one , everybody be opening thier cages & Removing all thier stuff. thinking that was it. & Then everybody's stuff is out & Boom - another EMP. Probably Be Prudent to Have a Full Backup of Everything in a Cage that is the Only Opened , used & Put back in after use. Kept Closed at all times mostly.
I work with high voltage electric motor drives and more, and I deal a lot with controlling harmonics, or magnetic frequencies and the shielding of electronics to protect them from a lot of power. Power which is very tiny in comparison to an emp. An emp can absolutely penetrate the metal of a faraday cage. The best actual method is to ground your faraday cages to draw as much of the energy away as possible and reduce the magnetics. Just like a magnet can attract another magnet through metal, the magnetic field of an emp can pass. Without the ground the energy passing through the metal has nowhere to go, and erratic eddy currents will occur, each producing it's own magnetic field through the electronics inside. Cages don't completely block the emp, but reduce it, and you have to hope the emp isn't too strong by the time it reaches your cage, and that your cage can properly divert the energy. Grounding helps a lot.
@@All6usto I think that depends on local standards. I have grounding rods, metal plumbing in the basement, grounded outlets etc. A metal shell on cement or dirt is better than on carpet or a wooden shelf. You could even bury it up to the top so it is still accessible, then toss something decorative over it to disguise it.
Please remind people to remove the batteries from the equipment so that there is no damage done to the equipment if the batterie burst. Other than that, an excellent job as always!!
I have spoken to a few survivors of some very nasty situations. Survivor of Hiroshima Survivor of Battan death march. Survivor of German POW camp. Survivor of the seige of Sareavo. Survivor of the death camp at Serbianca. Here are 3 things that they all said. Don't be the last to leave. If you think something is going to go down, get out and away. Be in decent physical shape. The old, the young, the fat, the women with children are the 1st to get caught and butchered. You have to be able to move, move,move. Without food and water you can not last. One of the survivors of Serbianca told me he hid in the mountains for 2 months while being hunted with dogs by the Serbians. He said he would take food and water over guns, gold, or girls. Radios would have been way down on the list. Remember, you're on your own, and no one is coming to save you.
Canned Food for the Win here. i Always have 2 Weeks supply of Canned Ravioli & Tuna & 6 Boxes of Oatmeal Rotating Stock as i Use it. 1 Plastic Crate of Canned Chicken Progresso Soup 60 cans. can be eaten cold right out of the can. i do it all the time. it's very tasty. 2 Plastic crates can be Grabbed with Go Bag & I'm Gone !
100% agree: you can’t eat radios, bullets, or gold (but all have value under basic necessities). I have never been in any tough situations like the ones you mentioned. I will say that with multiple faraday cages, placed at family members’ residences, could increase chances at maintaining communication/planning with original teammates.
Hi Lilly, I am a retired Comm’s Tech and I wanted to let you know that it is very important to remove all batteries and antennas of your radios before placing them in your faraday cage.
@@ronfox5519 Yes if they are lithium with a BMS ( battery management system ) . The BMS is made up of circuitry and this would fry. Most batteries should be ok as long as there’s no circuitry .
Great video, our Faraday Bag will hold 126L or as an example 12 of our 300W Solar Blankets or many of the Power Stations/Solar Generators on the market along with other electronics safely.
Wow, you're a million times more prepared for events than 99.9999% of norma citizens. Hope you can protect yourself and your equipment in case of an event. Thanks!
You may want to consider adding some usb sticks or an external hard drive that are already loaded with for all your digitalized stuff like documents important information and pictures. You could also do maps and all the info you would want if you need to leave, that you would normally just look up online.
I recall somewhere that the rubber gasket on your aluminum farraday cage may not be a good enough insulator. You can purchase metal gaskets online for the purpose of farraday cages.
Lilly, I want to share some info with you about Faraday cages in general. Though Faraday cages seem simple, there's a bit more to them than most folks know. To start with, yours will not protect anything. There is one major problem and another that folks don't understand about what they are protecting their equipment from. EMP and CMEs/solar flares. 1st, you have no insulating walls or lid. Your devices CANNOT touch the metal sides. 1/2" of basic foam insulation is required. The energy you are trying to devert from your equipment flows all around the cage walls. You must insulate from the walls, top and bottom😢 of the cage. 2nd problem is, your cage without a ground, will not protect it from an EMP. EMPs are from air currents like lighting. A ground is totally required. There might be a slim chance some equipment may survive but not likely. On the other hand, it will work fine in the case of CMEs. CMEs are ground currents, so a ground is a no-no. Just an insulated cage is all that's required. This is why I have both types of cages. It's definitely a PITA and costly, as we double all those sorts of supplies. Best of luck in your future endeavors!
When I saw in my notifications that you were publishing this video, I felt like you were reading my mind haha, since yesterday I've really been thinking about a faraday cage for my team, and watching this video gave me new ideas, thank you very much
Very Nice Video Lilly. Add some aluminum foil or better yet metal window screen material, over your entire rubber gasket inside the box. Long seams are a major entry spot for an EMP to propagate through. Free Pro Tip To Viewers: Do not ground a Faraday Cage, since it acts as an antenna; we are not trying to protect our cages from an electrical shock, but rather electromagnetic wave propagation.
Hi Lilly, very nice selection of equipment. I remember most of the items from earlier videos. Looks like everything is covered. Some in duplicate even. I like your hand crank radio with custom battery holder. Hand cranking gets old after a while. Your large Faraday Box Is well stocked with lots of room, kinda reminds me of an "Oh I forgot" box. Anyway, thanks for the review of Faraday Cage, boxes and contents. 🙂
A good aluminum bin with a decent ground could work. A quick test would be to drop a phone or a pager into one and see if you can get a signal. If not - you have a "cheap" cage.
Girly rubber is not good in a faraday cage as a seal. Throw a turned on ham radio inside what you think is a faraday cage and then call it with another . if it receives what you are broadcasting your, Faraday cage is garbage. You have more Chargers than you do batteries. Sanyo batteries are fantastic they have up to 1200 charge cycles. you have a flashlight that only uses One battery. I like that. A better flashlight that uses three different types of batteries AA AAA and CR123a is a Streamlight 88061 ProTac 1L-1AA 350-Lumen Last thing crank radios if truly being used only lasts for about 2 weeks
Lily there are some things you don’t have to go into a faraday cage like on powered antennas and anything that doesn’t have components in it. Antennas have no components just basically wire. Most are like that anyway.
Lilly...you need a label maker. Just put a label on it so you always know what's in it. I bought an EMPShield device for my vehicle, not cheap but gives me a little piece of mind.
Hi Lily! To see if those Faradays boxes work, could you introduce a mobile phone inside and try to make a call to that device? Thank you very much for your attention.
Fun! It is wonderful to see another minded person following similar lines of things to store away. Very much identical to my Faraday Boxes I made up in contents. Very fun stuff. Never know what is eventually going to be needed.
You should have a nonconductive layers of cardboard or cloth between the items you are trying to protect and the outer layer of the metal container. This will cause confusion among the less experienced preppers. If you don't explain that that is needed. Otherwise great job as usual.
Cordless drill and soldering iron for repairs after collapse. I also keep a large hard drive with computer backup and many survival websites saved . Important docs on hard drive. I also keep a Blu-ray player and a small projector. I guess I'm crazy but I'm the only one with entertainment after the shit hits the fan
If you can't afford a Faraday cage. Find a used ( broken ) microwave oven, the bigger the better. Take out the electronics, but dont disturb the lining surrounding the oven. The oven is a Faraday cage, it wouldn't be safe to operate if it wasn't 🙂.
I have faraday bags for my solar generators and for various electronics, including battery banks. But something that i don't think a lot of people really think about is entertainment. I actually purchased a gameboy advanced SP and some original gameboy advanced games to go with it and a couple of nintendo 3ds with games as well for the kids.
I don't remember you mentioning a multi-meter. I keep both a small analog and a digital one, nothing fancy but from millivolts to 1 kilovolt, amperage and resistance readings. Have some spare fuses for it. USB sticks with copies of my ID and important documents. A smart phone to read the memory sticks. I try to make sure my battery chargers can take 12 volts power directly to avoid the huge losses created by inverters. If you can find one that also takes USB, even better. Test your solar calculator to make sure it does run on solar.... some cheap ones cheat and actually use a battery.
Good Video ! Lily , Have You Ever thought about How to Make a Room in a House EMP Proof ( A Safe Room for Opening Faraday cages. ) or Can an Entire House be EMP proofed ? Might make for some interesting video information. Lily - i Think you need 1 More piece of cardboard on the inside lid of the Big faraday cage. silicone the cardboard to the inside lid. video idea - What Materials Can u make a faraday cage out of - 1) Metal - Yes. all metals ? steel ?aluminum ? Copper Pipe with caps ? Pipe nipples with caps ? to hide usb Flash drive inside. 2) Plastic ? - I'm guessing no. Thick enough plastic ? double layers ? 3) Rubber ? - 4) Households items that are faraday cages ? old Non-Working Refrigerator ? i'm thinking Yes ! other items ? Just some ideas for you. Laptop ? spare Computer ? ipad ? Emergency Generator needs stored in a Faraday cage / Faraday Room ? Faraday Garage - To Park Your Car in ? Video - To Turn your Garage into a Faraday cage ? Take care Lily.
Ur antennas dont need to be protected from EMP so you could save space be putting those aside. Also you want to tape off the ends of any unwrapped or packaged battery or nut battery containers especially for lithium ions.
£407.00 for Faraday Bag, Room for all of your Electronics, NO US SALES TAX!!! Cheaper to get a metal dustbin and line it with cardboard/aluminium foil surely a la Reality Survival?
Have you thought about including a smart phone loaded with offline reference materials? That would already be useful, even if the phone network never came back online. It would also give you a calculator and voice-recorder to replace those in your chest, and a camera to boot. If you included a cheap tablet you could then access external storage drives, which would allow for an extensive video library among many other possibilities. For better and worse, smart devices are incredibly powerful, useful and portable. I know that's being used against us and our societies now, but in the sort of event you're prepping for I think the damage will already have been done. I think at that point they'll become extremely useful. But I don't know, maybe I'm missing something.
Bei mir geht der Deckel weot drüber. Glaub nicht dass der emp um die ecke kommt. Aber ja ich könnte die Dichtung entfernen oder Aluminiumfolie drüber legen
Great that you have a cell phone in there. Perhaps what's called a "burner phone" (I don't know, really)...BUT...I...would write down all my family's cell phone NUMBERS, along with maybe my Primary Care DOCTOR (might need prescriptions refilled as soon as possible when power comes back)...and LAMINATE that paper so it can be TAPED ONTO THAT PHONE. Maybe you can simply remember all your crucial phone numbers, but I need a cheat sheet. ;o)
Burner phones are only found in the USA. In most of the EU, countries make you register your phone to your identification card or tax ID number. This way they know where to find you if you speak up against the government or some big shot or politician. Registering it will basically it means you have no privacy.
Come on lets be realistic. If it gets serious enough for all electronics outside a faraday to be destroyed in a SHTF scenario, they are not going to be useful anyway even if they are protected. Radio stations gone. Phone service gone. Preserve your books not your electronics.
LOL!! That's not what you use a faraday cage for! Well, it's one thing, but it's stupid. Use small ones everyday for credit cards, ID with chips in them, large cash with stripes in them, cell phones, devices, tablets.
Hello Lilly and other Ladies & Gentlemen Survivalists and Preparers, I hope you are all in the Blessings and Peace of God and Jesus. Lilly, I really like all the videos you produce, they are very important, including, I miss the videos where you show your layoff and news videos. This type of video you posted about the Faraday Cage is very important, and, having seen the two raduis from Baofeng UV-5R and the 777S, please, could you do tests with it or other models? How can it be distant within cities, open countryside and forests? In addition to the average battery life? If you liked the idea of radio tests, please like it here. Everyone stay with God and Jesus....Greetings Brazilians.
If you have a ebike. In case tinfoil wrapped aroung bike. Did not work. Then a controller and battery might be good to have. Battery has a circuit in it that protects cells when charging. Also if you have a ebike it can be used as a generator. If you spin the hub motor with your legs it will produce voltage. With it's permanent. Magnets and coils. But it is AC so need a diode to convert back to DC. Because your hand crank radio will make your arms tirered. Bike needs a stand so rear wheel can spin freely. And you can only charge 12v batteries. This a back up until sun comes out. Also ebike are quiet so easy to get around road block and bypass military. Might need a miro controller for solar panels in case emp takes out that board? A portable tv? Also if you have a dirt bike the ignition module. Might get fried. So a spare module. It is the box that goes between the magneto and ignition coil. Magneto will also produce voltage to charge batteries. But slowly. Not much amps. A speaker mic for hand held radios will help also. So you not drop radio.
Hello and thank you for your good videos,,,but😮 in a short video can you put your smartphone inside and outside of that faradebag and call it in order to people like watch this in action
Better buy one of each, computer modules, sensors, spare alternator, AM FM radio, you kinda get the point, all electronics used in the car. A very expensive cashé to get todays cars running. Your better off finding something from the 70’s where you only need a set of points and condenser, ignition coil, alternator and starter. A whole lot cheaper than investing in all of that computer equipment and peripherals that are needed for modern vehicles.
All of the computers and peripherals and sensors needed to run the car, a very expensive venture. You are better off to buy a car from the '70’s. You only need to invest in points and condenser for the distributor, a couple of sets of spark plug wires, needed since the wires are actually resistor wires that can fail with a high energy pulse. An ignition coil, starter and alternator. These cost very little compared to all of the electronics in todays cars.

Well,youtube wont let me comment for some reason, but was going to say add a voltmeter, might come in handy if we do have an EMP.
Lilly i think we will have water problems in the upcoming years no water = no animals = no food = chaos = Mad Max

how would you go about grounding them, mate? I mean, are there any tips?
@@All6usto I think that depends on local standards.

You could even bury it up to the top so it is still accessible, then toss something decorative over it to disguise it.
Two layers of iron filled with iron wool can help ?
Or nickel permalloy instead of iron ?

I have spoken to a few survivors of some very nasty situations.
Survivor of Hiroshima
Survivor of Battan death march.
Survivor of German POW camp.
Survivor of the seige of Sareavo.
Survivor of the death camp at Serbianca.
Here are 3 things that they all said.
Don't be the last to leave. If you think something is going to go down, get out and away.
Be in decent physical shape. The old, the young, the fat, the women with children are the 1st to get caught and butchered. You have to be able to move, move,move.
Without food and water you can not last.

So true. Just a small remark, for the sake of accuracy - it's not Serbianca but Srebrenica.
Yes, basic survival skills without electronics...
Lily will do well.
Ehhhh, PROBABLY on your own.
There IS a SLIM chance that help could arrive.

Take the antennas off the radios while they’re being stored for additional EMP protection of their sensitive circuits. Batteries out as well.

just a little point Lilly, those antennas are useless with baofeng uv-5r. The receiver get overloaded translating in not reception.
You can use a Mylar blanket to cover your backup generator and bigger stuff!
Or maybe to line the containers, too?
Another good idea for a Faraday cage is a metal garbage can.
A good aluminum bin with a decent ground could work. A quick test would be to drop a phone or a pager into one and see if you can get a signal. If not - you have a "cheap" cage.
Yes, just add insulation on all inside surfaces, and metalized duct tape for the lip edges of the can and lid.

Line your Faraday with some caarrdboard and seal the lids with aluminum air condition tape.
How can you use an E Bike if an emp hit? I dont think you have a faraday that big lol.
Sms is good for communucation during shtf as it uses less "bandwidth" than phone calls. The phone "grid" will be under a lot of pressure during shtf

Good Video ! Lily , Have You Ever thought about How to Make a Room in a House EMP Proof ( A Safe Room for Opening Faraday cages. ) or Can an Entire House be EMP proofed ? Might make for some interesting video information.
Lily - i Think you need 1 More piece of cardboard on the inside lid of the Big faraday cage. silicone the cardboard to the inside lid.
video idea - What Materials Can u make a faraday cage out of -
1) Metal - Yes. all metals ? steel ?aluminum ? Copper Pipe with caps ?
Pipe nipples with caps ? to hide usb Flash drive inside.
2) Plastic ? - I'm guessing no. Thick enough plastic ? double layers ?
3) Rubber ? -
4) Households items that are faraday cages ? old Non-Working Refrigerator ? i'm thinking Yes !

@@random2829 well she could make a short 6-7 min video on the subject matter lots want to see. I sat though this video to be nice !
Even simpler, keep these things in your car. which is a faraday cage.
An "EMP event" can last several days, weeks or even months. How do you know when it's over and safe to unpack your stuff ?
an EMP will mostly only last minutes to maybe days if it comes from the sun.

Cheaper to get a metal dustbin and line it with cardboard/aluminium foil surely a la Reality Survival?
Have you thought about including a smart phone loaded with offline reference materials? That would already be useful, even if the phone network never came back online. It would also give you a calculator and voice-recorder to replace those in your chest, and a camera to boot. If you included a cheap tablet you could then access external storage drives, which would allow for an extensive video library among many other possibilities.
For better and worse, smart devices are incredibly powerful, useful and portable. I know that's being used against us and our societies now, but in the sort of event you're prepping for I think the damage will already have been done. I think at that point they'll become extremely useful. But I don't know, maybe I'm missing something.
Keep in mind that protected 18650 batteries also have circuit boards inside.
Remember to recharge all the batteries inside of your devices. Even in the radios you choose for sale.
In anderen Videos heißt es immer den Dichtring wegen dem Kontakt zu entfernen. Wie siehst du das?
Bei mir geht der Deckel weot drüber. Glaub nicht dass der emp um die ecke kommt. Aber ja ich könnte die Dichtung entfernen oder Aluminiumfolie drüber legen
Thanks right on target areas
Great ideas!!!
I bought the orange Pudibel Geiger counter following your recommendation.
Great that you have a cell phone in there. Perhaps what's called a "burner phone" (I don't know, really)...BUT...I...would write down all my family's cell phone NUMBERS, along with maybe my Primary Care DOCTOR (might need prescriptions refilled as soon as possible when power comes back)...and LAMINATE that paper so it can be TAPED ONTO THAT PHONE. Maybe you can simply remember all your crucial phone numbers, but I need a cheat sheet. ;o)
Burner phones are only found in the USA. In most of the EU, countries make you register your phone to your identification card or tax ID number. This way they know where to find you if you speak up against the government or some big shot or politician. Registering it will basically it means you have no privacy.
Do you expect to find mobile phone antennas in working condition after an EMP event ?
I use steel cooking pots, and they work better from everything I know.
Will mylar reflect emp energy?
You could just use a metal pipe with screw on end caps for your cb antennae
Hello Lilly . Nice ! Thanks !!
All i need is Whiskey and Water.. I'll be Fine...
It's a variation of POE, OPE, EOP. Mandrake.
What do you use to test your radiation detectors/Geirger meters? I suppose you don't have a radiation source at hand? :)
Even the pail should be lined with cardboard, rubber or anything to keep away from the bucket. Fred VE3FAL
Someone tell me something the bags look just like insulated lunch bags, if that's the case could not the lunch bag be used as a Faraday bag?
I like that voice recorder idea. That could be useful.
What are the best Gieger counters/Dosimeters for high radiation?
Come on lets be realistic. If it gets serious enough for all electronics outside a faraday to be destroyed in a SHTF scenario, they are not going to be useful anyway even if they are protected. Radio stations gone. Phone service gone. Preserve your books not your electronics.
You need tablets with sdcards, with media, books and entertainment
Im going to get one of those bags. Awesome video. 🙂😀😊
Never mind the bag, where do I get that can?
Thank you 🙏
Hey, Lilly, what happened to PostApocalypic Garage?
Auch Bratwurst und Brot
Hi there, where did you find the square metal box used in this video. Thanks!
That 220W solar blanket cost $1800!
So? She doesn't seem to have any financial problems like the rest of us! 😅
I see you ave the suitcase lined. same with bucket.
LOL!! That's not what you use a faraday cage for! Well, it's one thing, but it's stupid. Use small ones everyday for credit cards, ID with chips in them, large cash with stripes in them, cell phones, devices, tablets.
Great video, Mahalo for sharing
I guess if you purchase some RFID fabric on Temu instead and build your own large Faraday bag you can save around 95% of the whopping $500
Hello Lilly and other Ladies & Gentlemen Survivalists and Preparers, I hope you are all in the Blessings and Peace of God and Jesus.
Lilly, I really like all the videos you produce, they are very important, including, I miss the videos where you show your layoff and news videos.
This type of video you posted about the Faraday Cage is very important, and, having seen the two raduis from Baofeng UV-5R and the 777S, please, could you do tests with it or other models? How can it be distant within cities, open countryside and forests? In addition to the average battery life?
If you liked the idea of radio tests, please like it here.
Everyone stay with God and Jesus....Greetings Brazilians.
If you have a ebike. In case tinfoil wrapped aroung bike. Did not work. Then a controller and battery might be good to have.
Battery has a circuit in it that protects cells when charging. Also if you have a ebike it can be used as a generator. If you spin the hub motor with your legs it will produce voltage. With it's permanent. Magnets and coils. But it is AC so need a diode to convert back to DC. Because your hand crank radio will make your arms tirered.
Bike needs a stand so rear wheel can spin freely.
And you can only charge 12v batteries. This a back up until sun comes out.
Also ebike are quiet so easy to get around road block and bypass military.
Might need a miro controller for solar panels in case emp takes out that board?
A portable tv?
Also if you have a dirt bike the ignition module. Might get fried. So a spare module. It is the box that goes between the magneto and ignition coil. Magneto will also produce voltage to charge batteries. But slowly. Not much amps.
A speaker mic for hand held radios will help also. So you not drop radio.

Ride, Faraday, ride!
Hello and thank you for your good videos,,,but😮 in a short video can you put your smartphone inside and outside of that faradebag and call it in order to people like watch this in action
Beautiful medicinal sticky icky canna buds
You can make your own faraday Cage with a metal garbage 🗑️ and cardboard simple and pretty much Free
Hello and thank you for your good videos,,
What vehicle parts could be stored there to replace the fried originals?
Better buy one of each, computer modules, sensors, spare alternator, AM FM radio, you kinda get the point, all electronics used in the car. A very expensive cashé to get todays cars running. Your better off finding something from the 70’s where you only need a set of points and condenser, ignition coil, alternator and starter. A whole lot cheaper than investing in all of that computer equipment and peripherals that are needed for modern vehicles.
All of the computers and peripherals and sensors needed to run the car, a very expensive venture. You are better off to buy a car from the '70’s. You only need to invest in points and condenser for the distributor, a couple of sets of spark plug wires, needed since the wires are actually resistor wires that can fail with a high energy pulse. An ignition coil, starter and alternator. These cost very little compared to all of the electronics in todays cars.
thermal scope?
If an EMP is triggered, you’ll need guns more than anything else...
Do you have a ham radio license?
A basic feature phone?
bellissimo video
I don’t know if I would put up a huawei modem post event, especially if the Chinese military is still aiding and training with Belarus and Russia. Unless they are normal in your area
Valid point...
Please bring back your montlhly news!
