THIS GUY IS MAKING NO SENSE. A NUCLEAR WEAPON HAS RADIATION AND WHEN IT IS RELEASED, NO MATTER THE HEIGHT, IT " WILL " COME DOWN ON ANYONE BELOW IT, AROUND IT AND EVEN MILES AWAY DEPENDING ON THE JET STREAM OR IT BEING MANIPULATED BY TPTB. COME ON. THIS IS HOCUS POCUS CRAP. YES, THE GARDEN WOULD BE CONTAMINATED WITH RADIATION, HELLO! HE'S A LIAR. I'M OUT OF HERE, CAN'T FINISH WATCHING A LIAR!!!!!!!
@25mins - EXCELLENT Q
What about if you live in an apartment building?
@@fullofhope2222 IF YOU'RE COMMENTING ON MY COMMENT AS I SEE NO OTHER BEFORE ME, I DIDN'T ASK A QUESTION. I MADE STATEMENTS. SO IF YOUR COMMENT IS DIRECTED AT ME, THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT ON MY STATEMENTS. :) HAVE A GREAT WEEK END.
@@jevelwilson WHAT ABOUT IT?
Pretty bold statement that Mr. Bucchin makes regarding standing behind their product. If it does work, there would be no reason to contact them. If it doesn't work. it doesn't really matter because society (as we knew it) would be gone anyway. Not much risk on their part.
I agree because you won't find out it doesn't work until it doesn't work during a EMP attack LOL you won't even know the attack is there until everybody starts getting sick and then it too late to use a device and everything and if you live right now the rest of your life with wrapped up in some kind of device then nothing happens well that would be kind of silly to why spend your time worrying about that there's other things to be more concerned about like people's salvation. And you can do something about that
I was not impressed by the selling point on vehicles. In many locations, if not all, roads will be blocked by other disabled vehicles. How well will a functional vehicle help a driver in conditions where the roads are completely blocked?
Con artist with many false statements.
You can survive without electricity people did for thousands of years 😅. Be prepared start by cutting not needed use . Practice. Get ready
@@chuckbogdanowitz2785 The people who rely on CPAPs and oxygen concentrators would probably disagree with you or do we just write them off as collateral damage.
That’s why I have a 1972 Ford Courier with the old points style ignition as a “ hopefully it works” backup.
Same reason I have an old Toyota Landcruiser
Doesn't work for the Ford f250 2022
You will need to keep a condenser for the points, a coil , starter, a solenoid and a battery in a Faraday cage. You can build your own cage if you have some good materials and directions. GOOD LUCK.
First of all, have a pre solid state diesel vehicle as a back up.
Second buy a older exec condition or rebuildable 1940's to early 60's Generator, and place the
unit in a real faraday cage
for storage preferably underground or in a sub basement.
Third purchase older robust electrical gear like Motors and pumps. The more pre 1970 and the more heavy duty the better.
Forth: Purchase and FULLY rebuild one of the BIG Three
TUBE General coverage radio receivers from the late 1940's to 1960. they are:
U.S.Army R-390 or R-392 units.
Hammerlund Super Pro 600
National Radio HRO 50 or 60
With ALL the coil draws.
In any case replace all the aging capacitors even it the
unit is operational at present
Also always have three back up TUBES in storage for each tubes on the chassis.
Have as many as possible 1960 back tube Transmitters
Like the Johnson Viking or Ranger or the World Radio
Labs 300 or the better sets from Hallicrafters. some people use 1950s kit trans mitters from that Era.
Purchase and properly rebuild a good TUBE CB Radio from the pre 1970
Era of CB. Like Poly Com,
or Regency or Browning or
Marie use intended units like Ray Jefferson.
And don't forget batteries.
car batteries which will no longer crank cars WILL often give a few years of reliable 12 Volts continuous service. A lot of rejuvenation techniques DO work! But
you have to get to know the ropes AND any close contact with batteries IS can be very DANGEROUS. Always take precautions like eye and hand protection.
Good luck and we need you to survive and fight.
😂 us too. But dont let anyone see you driving it!!
Everybody is worried to death about their cell phones. What good will it do when the cell phone tower is fried?
Well, to be fair, after the E3 has settled out, of you don't have a physical compass, download a compass app and you all set. But... have a physical compass is better. There's also GPS receiver apps for cell phones. They do have other users besides calls and UA-cam.
Unless the flare causes the magnetic poles to shift then compass is useless anyway.
Plus you also need to have a protected power source to charge your phone.
They have satellite cell phones
@@lauravanbuskirk66 wont the satellite be destroyed
HEMP is a high energy (megawatts), broad spectrum (all frequencies), nano-second pulse. While the device inside Mr. Bucchin's EMP shield may be an extremely fast avalanche device, the wires (or inductors) leading in and out of the device slow down, attenuate, and basically isolate the device at extremely high frequencies. Furthermore, while I don't doubt Keystone's ability to create a testable pulse disturbance in the lab, no one really knows if a device is EMP proof unless it is subjected to a real-world EMP. As far as I know, I don't think anybody has actually detonated an EMP to see if their stuff says what they claim. IT"S ALL SPECULATION!
the maui fires are proof of emp use..
@@robertloutzenhiser1684that's not EMP but directed energy weapon.
So is it worth spending 400+/- to find out if he is right or wrong?
Greetings from Northern Québec Canada 🇨🇦 Are aluminum trash can to place electronics against EMP? Thanks, merci
Absolutely correct. His device is weak. There is a company that manufactures true capable products and that company is RayCap and the product is StrikeSorb. This product protects cell phone towers and electrical solid state devices. These guys don't sell anything in these markets.
Excellent explanation. I really appreciated the concise answers .
Thank you so much for this video. It clarified a lot of questions that I had about the EMP Shield. Using your discount code, I bought one for my home and some hours later, I bought one for my vehicle. It seems like a lot of money, but if needed, they will be the best bargain ever. About 24 years ago, I spent a fair amount of money on Y2K, though it never panned out, I have no regrets. It is all a matter of which side of the door do you want to be standing on: prepared or not prepared for such an eventuality. Thanks again and God bless.
You are amazing. It is about going back to a more simpler way of life not easier but definitely healthier. Learning to be more self sufficient even out in a desert. I bought a pickup truck water tank at Home Depot - no one wanted them… 210 gallons for $98 and they delivered it for $35. Now I have extra water for very cheap - if needed once I fill it up with a garden hose. I would never have thought about buying it had I not seen the tank in Patrick’s pickup truck😊
You need a camper drinking water hose or it will taste bad tank should be black on outside or alge will turn water green in a couple of weeks lead sheet will protect electronics
@@jamesbrooks5442 I bought a black round pool cover for it? Will that protect it from algae?
Painting it silver will be better than black. Metallic flakes in the paint will block the solar ray's better than finer ones in black both together would be ideal.
I am from Guatemala 🇬🇹...
I do know that you are 300% right.
Andrew..you are so humble, i remember your beginning. Bless you. Thank you.😇
Mr and Mrs. P ❤.
Lol..I can't believe I just got this...ugh, they are so slow.. would emp shield help this PP?😊
Food for thought. Having a working vehicle may not matter if the roads are littered with non-functioning abandoned cars blocking the roadways. They won't be passable. So while a great possibility, it shouldn't be relied on as it may not ultimately be useful if you can't travel the roads.
An EMP going off over our country is pretty low. If your home is lit after an EMP your a target for those who don't have power. The Grid would be destroyed and the power would be out for a long time. In my opinion you will need some if the following: Woodburning stove for food prep and heating,cast iron pots and pans a good supply of fresh water and a place to store it. Plenty of dry goods and self protection tools and seeds for those tools and a good head on your shoulders. Thats it.
So the fact is EMP shield will protect your electronic devices so that in 10 to 20 years when the power comes back on they'll work.
Considering that 90% of the population will die within the first year there will be no power coming back, ever.
I guess you could invest in solar or wind....why wait for someone else to do your work. Hate to be the one to break it to you, life dont care about your feelings or thoughts nor mine....your on your own,
There will be immobilized vehicles scattered along the roads so the more remote you are, the better. You will be surprised at how relatively small things can block the roads. This happened with Hurricane Sandy in New York and New Jersey.
I took a small break on here, but came back, and I couldn't found you all :(
I was looking for something else and bingo , there you were !!!!
I'd buy one just for the lightning protection! Thunderstorms in Florida are no joke!
During normal conditions they are not that bad but doing those conditions they would be a lot worse.
Amy idea what can be done if one lives in an apartment? Everything I've heard so far applies just to houses, not apartments. What can I do, if anything, to protect myself?
What floor do you live on? Do you have an elevator? Do you have a balcony? Do you have any solar panels?
If you live in an apartment building, you can create a Micro or mini safe zone.
First, do you have a Circuit breaker box in your apartment? If you do then having an EMP SHIELD will give some protection because you are isolating your unit from the rest of the apartment. Think of EMP Shield is like a " FIREWALL" it's there as protection. As they say just like chicken soup " It Can't Hurt",
Second, Do you have a ballcony or access to the outside from within your apartment if you do then you can setup solar panels with batteries for storage energy and or use a Small generator if needed. PLEASE USE GAS OR PROPANE GENERATOR WITH LOTS OF VENTILATION A.K.A OUT SIDE NOT IN YOUR HOME OR APARTMENT. PLEASE STORE ALL FUEL FOR GENERATORS WITH LOTS OF VENTILATION OR OUTSIDE NEVER IN DOORS
Get some EMP bags to keep your Emergency equipment in. Find out how to me make a faraday cage to store equipment.
Use the nesting method for protecting items. That's put a box in a box concept. Use multiple layers increase survivability of items.
It's a lot but we'll worth learning what to do.
YOU ONLY HAVE ONE CHANCE TO BEAT AN EMP, AFTERWARDS YOUR OUT OF LUCK .
Just my 2 cent
Good luck
Great Question and awesome responses. Each situation is a bit different...look at your situation and evaluate your options. A great place to start is building a community of family and friends who are like-minded and develop some plans. You will want to be discreet in your decisions about who to include. Food and water (stored and the ability to find and purify) are high priorities, as is security and personal protection. Look for safe, low tech solutions to meet your needs, but a protected power station may help with critical needs such as medical equipment, etc. Travel will be difficult...perhaps not possible or safe. Having a community close is not just nice, but critical if at all possible. If you have vulnerable electronics that you will want/need, build or buy a Faraday enclosure to protect them. Look at everything you do and determine is that activity is critical, and if so, how you will meet that need. So much of our world revolves around all things electronic/digital. I certainly hope and pray that an EMP/CME never happens, but as I look at our crazy world and the threats that are facing us, we need to prepare as best we can. In my opinion, the most important thing you can do is develop/strengthen your positive, faith-filled attitude of cheerfully doing what lies within your power, then allowing God to take care of the rest. This will drive and direct you and bring peace of mind. SMALL STEADY STEPS! Connect back if we can help further...keep being part of the solution!
@JonathanBJones Unfortunately, if you live in an apartment... just plan an escape. If your stuff still works your neighbors will kill you for it. The power was out from the Atlantic Ocean to mid Michigan years ago. I worked with the team analyzing the event for the power company....
Roving bands of mercenaries were forming in Detroit in less than 24 hours.... and that was just a hiccup in the grid.
2nd amendment anyone?
i can imagine being the only house on the block that still has lights on after an emp. How long do you think i would last before i was overrun by all the neighbors. This is just asking for trouble.
If the Grid goes down-- The municipal pump lift stations go down. If these go down, Sewage backs up into everyone's house making them unlivable. Learn how to prevent this ;-)
It’s something to eat.
Could you tell us how do we prevent it?
Can you tell us how to prevent this from happening?
@@claytonb3044 If you use a septic tank, you should be fine in this respect. If you live in a suburb, try and have a one way valve and clean-out pipe installed in your sewage line. If power goes out for a day or two, open the cleanout port just in case. Many new homes already have this.
People that don't eat much don't shit much either.😊
Good comment: prepped for EMP = ready for most anything.
Unless you are prepared to be on the run, with what you can carry on your back, you are definitely NOT prepared. An EMP will be the worst situation we could face. And anyone who has a stockpile of anything, it will be taken from them by the desperate. There will be no law enforcement, there will be no medical services, there will be no way for you to defend yourself, other than with what firearm you have in your hand. The reality is that in order to survive, you will have to be on the Run, otherwise you'll be a Sitting Duck.
I am normally a consumer of Contant. But when I see information that will miss lead preppers, I feel I have to correct that information. This product will only protect this product according to its own testing most electronics will be safe or partially damaged, depending on the impact of E1, E2 and E3 event if you are directly impacted Only a faraday cage will save you most will not be directly impacted. Meaning your car and all electronics will most likely operate or mostly operate. I feel fear tactics are in here to get you scared they don’t mention reactor stations that would trip or any other black sites or safety measures or counter measures that are already in place for these events, I love the prepper community and need to let you know that this is an issue but not as big of an issue unless you are directly impacted within a few miles. If that happens, you’re most likely screwed, but the area outside that is most likely going to be fine meaning that you will not take everything out unless we are attacked by thousands of these which is unlikely And the probability of intelligence on this is Linda not yes the risk is there, but the risk is low and the risk for hitting you directly is most likely very low or minor impact so even if it shut your car off, it will most likely turn back on with the check engine light on, but still function I hope this information helps my fellow Americans when seen information like this, reduce the risk and probability meter and focus on preps. As always be prepared.
In your opinion, if an EMP is centered over the USA to take out the countries electrical grid, and your in the outer edges of that, how bad will the EMP be on your home, vehicle, etc.
An attack would be designed to generate the strongest pulse over the widest range possible, like three detonations from coast to coast. It won't be localized or render minimal damage, so if this isn't what you're telling folks then you're doing them a great disservice.
Fun fact: if you couldn’t read it aloud in a single breath YOU NEED PUNCTUATION!
Without punctuation it’s nothing but word salad.
Have you called the EMP Shield number and asked these questions or is this all your opinion? Id love to see what they say after you call them....Im always skeptical about most things in life. When you have that info back please respond and let me/us know what they said.
I can’t see how a plug in EMP shield can protect most things. They’ll generally have some kind of converter changing voltage or ac/dc etc. I don’t understand how the circuitry beyond there - IE the processors, transistors, diodes etc are protected. Also I’d love to know how these are tested, proving beyond just theoretically.
Please don’t think I’m being negative, I’m truly interested in this and realise how catastrophic an EMP would be to civilisation.
It makes no difference whether electronics survive there will be no power to run them. No fuel, no electricity, no radio or TV stations. No water from the faucets, no natural gas, no refrigeration, only the food you have stored or can grow.
Just because there is an EMP doesnt mean all your electronics will be effected. It depends on your proximity to the EMP.
Just because you have fire insurance doesnt mean your house is going to burn down.
@@raysteel6317 did you think of that all by yourself young man?
@@mannyfragoza9652 I certainly did, do you have a point or just trying to spark up a conversation?
@@raysteel6317 Your comment was Elementary, Elementary, my dear Watson
@@mannyfragoza9652 I agree, and it was based off your comment.
Whats your take on EMP Shield? Legit or no? Many people leaving negative comments appear to have given an "opinion" most if not all have not called the company for answers to these concerns.
Nothin in life is guaranteed other than death. Perhaps $400 +/- isnt a bad gamble if questions/concerns get answered?
What say you?
as always, your channel is the best!
Wow, thanks!
For a second, I thought that outdoor table at the intro was a giant Oreo on a stand that y'all were about to eat. Great video! Thx!
I want an EMP shield on my car. I costed it up. With fitting by a mechanic, it was about £650. That's a big investment for me.
You don't need a mechanic. I think you could do it yourself. Watch for another video coming out about the micro EMP shield.
Yes my grandson say it's so simple
@JohnSmith-xs4sx
They'll just snatch you off a bike. If one can store fuel it can get them to where they need to be I'm case of an emergency. No-one said you have to cruise up and down the street.
I helped design your cars electrical system. It can't be protected this way against any real size EMP. Each circuit, sensor, injector... would have to be individually protected. This hooked to the battery only protects the starter and alternator....MAYBE... physically can't be done. . Don't waste your money... the cars fairly good built in protection is as good as yer gonna get. 40+ years in Auto R&D here
Shielding with faraday cages are all frequency dependent, and so, are sensitive to the frequency being applied. Plus you need Next level multiple hard grounding points. And an actual EMP (or CME) has much of the power of the pulse will be occurring at much higher frequencies, in a blast wavefront. So you are talking about shielding from X-ray and Gamma Rays too. And remember Gamma-Rays go through everything. You need multiple concentric cages of differencing materials. Oh, and it will blow solar cells like 1970's era flash-bulbs, because many panels have cross wiring inside of the panel.
MYTH: wrapping electronics in aluminum foil will protect them from the emp.

I have heaard vehicles prior to electronic ignition won't be affected by an emp and preppers are snagging them up. My concern is what happens if my vehicle is on the road and mobs are out looting and decide to take the only vehicle on the road.
That was my very first thought. Not a chance a person with working vehicle will have it for long. The violence that will erupt will be unimaginable.
Look at these cities that have had riots over the years, people become absolute animals in the matter of minutes. Steal or destroy anything and everything, just because. Sorry but I don't want to be a "survivor" to that world.
2nd amendment is your only chance at that point...Facts
You'd be driving. They'd be walking. How would they keep up with you? 😅
I agree!
All H Bombs emit an EMP. Detonate a 5M weapon at 300 miles above the Dakotas and you'll start melting Rail Road Tracks and the Power Grid along with all none hardened and or shielded electronics are toast. Including the wiring in your house.
Faraday Cages are one way to shield stuff.
Farady cages dont officially work unless they are grounded.
Celphone might survive inside of an faraday cage especially an extra thick casing.
Better chance inside of several faraday cages.
But also is the company that you use may or may nt be covered.
Tip: more antenna equals more EMP collected!
Even without an antenna it comes in as super boosted as an EMP.
An EMP on a ,olar system estroys circuits in the elrctronic devices.
Best idea have back ups stored in a faraday cage.😮
The gentleman you had on your video from EMPShield stated that the items you have in a home made EMP container has to stay in the that container and can not be used after an EMP or did I misunderstand him? If true then why is this so and what is the use of protecting anything? I was under the assumption that the EMP disrupted everything and then dissipated, the possibility of further damaging effects did not linger. I don’t know how I can get your answer from this inquiry but I really need an answer.
If I wrap up my solar panels and electric devises in aluminum foil will that stop emps
I know you spoke about the high atmospheric explosion. Does a localized EMP release nuclear radiation besides the electrical damage that it causes? And would this ever occur?
EMP protection needs to be like armor proofing on a vehicle.
Shielding from every direction and glass.
Antenna or without can still colect a charge frying a system.
Tip: a larger EMP can still wipe out devices.
Extra faraday coverage will be required as layers.😮
The people at EMP shield don't seem to work. I have never been able to get ahold anyone.
His product is only protecting the incoming power lines (maybe)? What about the general wave of EMP that hits your home from the atmosphere?
The best resource on nuclear and EMP is Dr Eric Wormsley from Goshen Prepping. He was an Army Nuclear Specialist and has at least 8 informative videos on those subjects.
@GoshenPrepping @Thatcreative bug
What can I do to protect my home which is a 5th wheeler?
EMPs do not affect primers
He made a contradictory statement about electronic devices working after an EMP. At first, he stated that it doesn't matter if the device is powered on or off, the free electrons will induce a voltage and kill the device. The device must be in a faraday box\bag. But then states that his device (whether on or off) will protect from EMP if properly installed in the home, auto, etc... I do not see how that is possible. His device will not stop free electrons. His device my stop or reduce the induced voltage on the powerlines, but the free electrons would still pass through the individual devices in your home or car, etc. Also, he stated the solar panels wouldn't be affected by and EMP, and later says anything with a transistor, resistor, microprocessor, diode, etc., would be damaged. Solar panels have a diode to prevent the panel from discharging the batteries at night, so they would\could be damaged during an EMP.
What about all the other cars blocking the road.
Regarding Mr Heater and other brands of propane or kerosene heaters. For those thinking of purchasing one for emergency yes it is a good idea. The starting system on those is just like your barbecue with the snap click red button starter. It's just like the clicker under your stove it's a single snap of static electricity that makes a bright Spark it's not integrated with any other system of the heater, such as an overheat or a tip over safety contraption. You can start it with a barbecue lighter or a long wooden match for that matter just like you would holding a long stick match up to your propane Lantern to fire it up.
1999 called. They want their website back.
I have one of these on a breaker box. Will it work? Nobody knows until we get some type EMP or solar flare. However, I had one on my solar controller and it damaged my controller which forced me to have to purchase a new one. I now have a Midnite Surge Protecter on it because my controller is a Midnite controller. The original controller worked fine until I attached the EMP Shield. The replaced controller has been working perfectly. I would NOT attach one of these to a solar controller as you'll definitely risk it being damaged. When this occurred their support told me they do NOT test these with controllers, so, there is NO way to know if the controller will work once one of these is installed.
Have a back up charge controller
lol. Solar flairs. Heard about those when I was but a kid. They stopped that bs long ago
Love you guys, you have a great show my wife and I have followed for years. BUT, have you actually read the warranty? If not I suggest you do so. I am sure you will be as disappointed as I was. I recently purchased a unit after watching your video and used your discount code, thank you. But after a couple of phone calls about install questions to the company I am now having second thoughts. Yes my install is "different", but my disappointment with technical assistance so far and after actually reading the warranty ( buy the way you have to download it they don't sent a copy with your purchase) I am not sure this the right choice. Did you have a licensed electrician install your systems?
Thanks for your kindness! We have a friend who used to be an electrician that helped Jonathan install it. If anyone wants to read the warranty here is a link www.empshield.com/warranty/ I'm pretty excited to have it installed. That's sad that customer service wasn't helpful. Maybe you should call back and get a different person.
computers, USB, refrigerator, freezer, etc
How long does this effect last after the event has taken place? How long after event can you remove items from faraday cage.
There is no mention here if unshielded can it affect our health. What is the most dosage we can physically endure without getting jolted violently while one is sleeping in the dead of the night. I feel like a guinea pig when this happens. I am terrified to go to bed.
You are safe lol. An emp is completely safe for people. You are more at risk from your cell phone and microwave oven than from an emp. Seriously you are, try this for example; for one full week, every night before going to bed, turn off all cell phones completely, and leave outside of your bedroom along with any other electronics that use Bluetooth or wifi. None of that should be in your bedroom while you sleep.
Each day, log your sleep and how well you did. Then resume your normal routine and note the difference. If you are an "on-call" person, at least leave your cell phone outside your bedroom door, or as far away from your head as possible while sleeping. Same goes with any Bluetooth or wifi devices. You'll be amazed at how much these things are robbing you of sleep.
if the power grid goes down,and your house has the emp shield where are you getting the power from. to run the electronics.
Install emp shield on the power grid transforms. Problem solved.😌
Guest states: "EMP will bounce off the ground". Can people simply bury the electronics they want to protect? If deep enough?
How do you protect a solar power station like the Bluetti plz
Learn to start a fire. Learn to learn to live without! All good
To learn a lot about EMP read the book One second after from William forstchen! You will learn a lot👍
Even if your emp shield saves your car, how long will you be able to access gas? If your car is electric, well that's a no-brainer in my mind. Solar only works if there's sunshine. Batteries will be immensely important, but again they will run out of juice. In my mind these are only temporary measures and you will eventually be forced to use natural sources for heat and transportation. The horse will probably be back as main transport in the future, how crazy does that sound? All of the scenarios I've heard predict the power grid would take at least 2-10 years to replace so the emp devices may be for nothing in the end. It may save your butt long enough to get you home, and power your lights and fridge for a while until your generator goes down and there's still no power grid working.
What is our government doing to protect the grid?
Not enough!
How do we protect ourselves from the invading army which is proberly coming next?
Guns and ammo. Stock up now.
Emp is a weapon right so it goes after any kinds of metal objects right
This is even below ground like water pipes
Anyone who understands how EMPs work will also understand that EMP Shield products are overpriced gimics at best. For example, the vehicle "EMP shield" that they sell is a glorified DC power filter / surge protector. It will do absolutely nothing to mitigate the high voltages induced in the semi conductors in the vehicles electronics as the emp wave passes through the item. Only proper shielding of the electronics will be effective at this. Connecting a surge protector to battery of the vehicle will do nothing. Don't waste your money on an "EMP shield," your better off improving the shielding. These guys sell EMP snake oil and will file BK and disappear the moment an EMP event happens, so don't count on any guarantees getting honored.
Solar panels have DIODS that will burn out. Cost $2
Thanks
This is in the KJV Bible, The Beast suffers an injury, "not quoted" but is healed. BUT who who will be inserted the "mark of the beast" THEY will be tormented "as the KJV Bible states"
EMP shield may protect your home devices, but you’re not going to be able to get power from the grid. So… there’s no point.
Isn’t it a coincidence that, just like a year ago, there’s a large balloon flying over the USA when this recent event occurred? Considering my cybersecurity education and experience, I believe this recent attack could have been a test of a mini EMP, or more likely, a cybersecurity attack. What are your thoughts on this?
Greetings from Northern Québec Canada 🇨🇦 Are aluminum trash can to place electronics against EMP? Thanks, merci
Good info, but he is selling snake oil.
With an electronics background, I called their company one time for a better explanation of how the device works. All they gave me was mumbo-jumbo BS and nonsense. Snake oil is right!
@Robnord1 I felt that from this guy at times. The consumer takes on all the risk. I will stick to my other solutions, for now.
What about sealing your phone in a stainless steal pot and duct taping the top closed?
Food for thought...while an EMP bomb itself may not cause radiation to us, the resultant grid-down will eventually make the nuclear power stations melt down and that WILL certainly cause catastrophic radiation all over the country. We also won't have tv/phone/radio to tell us about that, so wise to just prepare after an EMP for the likelihood of that next event. Depending on where one is located near you or the prevailing winds above you, that fallout could travel significant distance even if you aren't near a power station at all. The EMP is just the beginning, the catalyst, not the result. Harvest what food you can, quickly, after an EMP.
What about a pacemaker.
I purchaced the sp/120-240/rl year or more ago and installed it. But the grid will be down. So what did i gain?
Is a gasolien genertor going to be proteced
What year of vehicle is safe from an EMP?
We have the EMP Protection device installed on our 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz. Now our battery is down to 44% within 2 weeks of install. Is anyone else having their battery drained by this device?

In a world gone dark, your home lit up will be a beacon emblazoning provident prepping. From across the valley they will come.
Better have a deep finished well equipped basement. Just leave the wreckage that was once your home alone so there will be no interest by others. The better destroyed it looks the better off you will be. No one will want to waste their time.
@@franklinmartin8103I meet a man who was extremely rich. He had a big house with custom cars and all those fun toys that come with wealth. However, when he would go to and fro around town he drove one of them big older 80’s vans. The van’s paint was sun baked. He’d wear well worn clothes. You’d never expect he was as wealthy as he was. I tell my wife we should paint our house with clear polyurethane so it looks worn out because every time we do anything to improve the property the taxes go up. This is a little town that time forgot. The property doesn’t appreciate in value to justify doubling the tax rate. Political corruption parallels with the crime rates. Its absolutely disgusting what human beings can become.
@@franklinmartin8103once they get desperate enough they will.
They set up a crisis " then" come in as the great expensive saviors!
Smh!! Hagalian theory!
I’d personally keep all lights off and use what alternate energy I have strictly for the fridge, freezers, mini-split and well pump.
I just had a lightning strike hit a large oak tree about 25 ft. from my home. We did not notice any electrical problems until my wife tried to use the electric clothes dryer. It wasn't working. We went to the electrical box and saw that the breaker was tripped. Hit the breaker and a flash bang it tripped again we hit it a few times and finally looked up on top of the panel the EMP SHIELD was almost black like it had been burned. Then we knew lightning had hit our electrical system. We had an electrician come out that day and he knew what happened. He took off the panel cover and showed us what happened. The EMP SHIELD has to be connected to a 220v line and that was the dryer. He disconnected the wires to the dryer and all was well.
The EMP SHIELD took the hit from the lightning and did its job with on harm to our electrical box or service. We called The EMP people and they sent a new unit out to us in 2 days at no charge (usually its a $50. charge).
THANKS GUYS.
What about your dryer?
I don’t think lightning strikes generated EMP.
@@Just_Johnnie It's a shunting mechanism, it shunts power surges to ground, which would also include lightning.
SO your breaker did its job!
Wow cool thanks for sharing
Read the book “One Second After” by William Forstchen. Very scary to read what will happen to civilization after an EMP 😳😩
Very eye opening...lots of things I hadn't fully thought about. Things like nursing homes, hospitals, insulin (huge problem), and those with addictions that can't be satisfied, to mention a few. Lets hope and pray that we never have this happen, but let's prepare as though it will! Keep making progress!
It is on UA-cam as audiobook with one year after then one day after. All 3 right here.
Whoa! 😂 I'm currently writing a emp aftermath novel myself I hadn't heard of this one 🤦 anyway after a brief moment of panic he's gone down a different storytelling route so whew 😂 it's a fascinating topic and one I've been wanting to write for a while, I'm glad I'm following in the footsteps of giants 😅 thanks for posting that author and title btw. Interesting read but I don't think it's going to be as dark as he writes it, it's going to be serious, but I have faith that while some people will be destructive, most people will pull together .❤ love from southern New Zealand
Actually a sequel called "Five Years After" is coming out in August, by same author, William Forstchen!!
@suzyburrows
thx Suzy will chk it out 📚
If it doesn't work for an EMP, how are you going to contact customer service? Communications will be down and nothing will be able to be done about it. Genius! 😂
😂Good infomercial.. hello im billy mays😅
don’t forget, you will be on hold several hours also.😮
@@firstlast2034 well, if a strong enough EMP hits, there will be no phone calls to place on hold.
You're pretty sharp, JD! So few people have done anything to survive an EMP, be it at their home or business, they won't make a bit of difference when the time comes. Not only did I work for SoCalEdison for 15 years, but I learned a lot about the power grid even before then.
The magnetic field pulse from either a CME or a nuke over our heads, will travel through everything that is not properly shielded, and induce a surge of electricity in it. Diodes and transistors generally run on less than five volts, so the amount of electricity being broadcast per square yard won't need to be very high to fry them. Every power line, both Transmission (high voltage, like 66KV to 220KV) and District (25KV and lower) will be a giant antenna, picking up huge amounts of electricity from the air. If you go to YT and see the arc of electricity between the contacts of a line disconnect that has been opened, that is from the electricity that is in the air all around us. There are huge circuit breakers with pressurized Sulfur Hexa Fluoride gas that are opened up before those disconnect contacts are opened up. The gas under high pressure keeps the high voltage electricity from jumping the contact gaps inside.
YOU ARE ALL CORRECT. BUT, I RATHER TAKE THE CHANCE AND SPENDING THE MONEY NOW BECAUSE MY MONEY WON'T BE WORTH CRAP IF AN EMP DOES HAPPEN. I AT LEAST HAVE A CHANCE WITH THE EMP SHIELD WORKING AND MY FAMILY AND I GETTING HOME SAFE AND BEING TOGETHER TO MAKE OUR NEXT MOVE THAT WE ARE PREPPARED FOR. THEN TO NOT TO SPEND THE MONEY AND HAVE USELESS MONEY IN MY POCKET WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN AND BEING STRANDED 50 MILES AWAY FROM HOME WITHOUT A WORKING VEHICLE. PEACE OF MIND!!!
30 seconds in and I know where this video is heading advertisement lol
It's funny how u get the truth from someone trying to sell a.product lol
Will car salesman try to tell u why not to buy there car
To late pole flip IMMINANT. Dont have years or months . Expected in just days away . Get right with GOD our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Depends on the EMP. If its a Superflare, which we are expecting any day now, you are looking at a X1000 to X10,000 flare. The magnetosphere is down 25% (3 auroras in low latitudes this spring alone). Those flares will burn anything with wiring. Like every structure in a first world country. All cars. Big threat.
Great points guys but think bigger.
I heard you can try to store metals in rubber containers! Wonder if that would work
If/when this happens I have feeing we wont be worrying a whole lot about anything. There wont be anything left to worry about. But if this doesnt happen it may be worth considering.
I LOLed when he described how the box blocks the pulse on BOTH sides (inside and outside the house). If the pulse is on your interior wiring it's too late.
This is nothing but an overpriced surge protector. Any quality surge protector operates in the sub-one nanosecond time frame.
I'm happy youre willing to bet your family's life and safety on your conclusions, despite the pages of research and endorsements which contradict you. Best of luck.
@Viz1111 I agree and I hope many think this way. It will be easier to get things back going with less dead weight bitching.
So what your saying is he's lying.....about all the testing all the government experiments and big business watchdogs? I am reading his so called proof, where is yours disputing his claims, or is it just more opinions ?
This was great!! I actually had a phone get hit by lightning back in the 80's. My mother used to yell, don't talk on the phone in a lightning storm and I alway blew her off...then one night. huge bang, phone across the room smoking. lol. believed her after that :) I am thinking about this for my home, more for lightning then anything else. If an EMP or CME took everything down, my car wont do me any good running. Either, it will be taken away from me, just over run by people (ever see war of the worlds ) or I just wont be able to pass all the cars and people blocking the road...Live in a very populated area. But lighting strikes, thats the biggest possibility and something I really never thought of. Thank you for this !! its was very informative !
Your mother is a wise woman.
Stop living in very populated areas, get out and away from them.
Our landline phone gets hit at least once every year or two.
Still, you dont want to be stuck far away from home. Just keep your gas tank full all the time. And most likely you will be able to drive home. And imagine if you're able to help a stranded elderly person. Or disabled person. Everyone should have an emp in their car.
My '85 Ford 4x4 w/ 460 engine carries 55 gallons of gasoline which I keep fueled all the time. It has a factory electronic ignition; that is all the electronics the engine needs to run as it has a carb. I have a mechanical distributor with points anda voltage regulator for the alternator that I can install in under several hours which is immune to emp. These older vehicles (damn Cash for Clunkers via obummer) are well worth having when SHTF after EMP. I have material and plans for a gas fuel generator using wood and vegetation gasses through the carb.
Smart man, I have a feeling you are a little more on the side of caution and prepared than most. Stay safe!
Greetings from Northern Québec Canada 🇨🇦 Are aluminum trash can to place electronics against EMP? Thanks, merci
@@Katouzine I do not know but a search for aluminum emi shielding effectiveness suggests an aluminum can would be effective. Not only is my truck to be protected but my '89 Isuzu Trooper with electronic controls is being converted to a dizzy and carb setup.
My 80 bronco runs on propane, I can fill it off off a tank at my (or any) house.
I'd like to see a video (if this is possible) on how you can prepare to make sure you can get your car up and running (at least on a basic level) after an EMP.
Pre 1986 diesel truck. No computer. Stable fuel.
With all most everyone carless you might find yourself in more trouble than without. In any area you could be in danger of hordes of people with or without weapons trying to take it from you. Be careful. Esp. pumping gas if any can be found wirh electricity to pump.
@Tk-iz2ws Not true! If I have a running car, I now have a two-ton projectile weapon, with which I will simply ignore the "thump-thump" as I drive over them. My wife and I are both armed and can shoot back, as we fight/drive our way through the ambush. It's also a great barricade mover (stalled cars, or cars moved into position to serve as a roadblock). I also have at least one half of a tank's worth (often a full tank's worth)of gas in Jerry cans at any time. Finally, most people won't grasp the severity of the situation in the first few days or weeks. All I need my car for, really, is a one-way trip to my family's retreat.
Can't less it's old. You just needs points to get it running again.
Wrong attitude. You are a moving target and you will have your vehicle taken by someone like me. Its your choice if you walk away from the interaction.
You might want to rethink your strategy and hope we never get to this point in society.
When i think of DHS. I am immediately filled with a warm fuzzy feeling of trust... NOT!😂
This is a very interesting conversation. As a former U. S. Air Force, Strategic Air Command officer, the question is more, Do you want to survive any of these issues? In the 70"s I really thought about this a lot. My choice is to be as close to ground zero as I can get. Am I prepared, of course. However, if you want to be the 10% that survives any of this, It will be a very slow and painful death to just become the 1/2% of the remaining. Your life if you still survive it will be life resembling the middle ages. You will not be able to grow food due to radiation, wildlife will be contaminated. Okay, you will need a shelter to live, clean air, water, that you cannot leave for at least a year. Do you have 10 plus years of food before you can start growing anything.
That’s how I think 👍
While what you have posted is mostly accurate for areas that have fairly dense population, industrial, high tech or Military bases near by. There really is no place to go that could provide survival for anyone in those regions. There are areas in the Rockies and Sierra Nevada Mountain ranges and the Oregon
Cascades that are remote enough for seasoned young outdoor type people. I grew up in Carson City, NV., and I know of several areas that provide good remote survival possibilities. Living out in these places will be very challenging and most difficult for the first timer. If a few have camped in those area, life can be sustainable since you will have some basic knowledge. It will be a 24 hour a day job. If Kit Carson the great Western scout can survive in the mountains of the wild West, others will also survive. Of course Kit, at one time had a very knowledgeable native American wife who knew where to look in the forest for edibles. I married an Island girl that grew up in a small island north of Okinawa and her mom had a wealth of knowledge about what island plants were edible and what could be harvested from the sea when the tide was out, not to mention best ways to catch fish. So those are all parts of the secret to survive for as long as you can. That Island I consider my second home, but I did have help since my wife and her family are well known and well liked in their village and around the island.
People in Auschwitz still struggled to stay alive. So would you. It is best to be prepared for that struggle.
@@franklinmartin8103 The Rocky Mountain region is where all the US nuclear weapons are. That region will be a nuclear wasteland because that one of the first things that will be targeted.
Also nuclear explosions could set off Yellowstone.
@@midriffzero Didn't read too closely did you. The Rocky Mountain area was only one of three areas that I named.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for this great interview with Mr. Bucchin! Amazing information that us regular folks can understand! You all are such a blessing to the world.
Our pleasure! I love your screen name!
Old married couple…. We should talk on this subject. RSVP
All electronic communications will end in that event. Cellphone EMP shielded? No service. Total Stone Age revision. Don't put your lights on if an emp hits. It will be a beacon to the have nots.
You are correct, an EMP will likely be the worst case scenario we could experience. And a hard reality that most Preppers either do not realize, or refuse to see is that there really is no way to prepare for an EMP. Once Society collapses, likely within a few days of an EMP, it will be every man for himself. Those who have prepped will be able to survive a little longer, but only some of them. If anyone knows that you are a prepper, and have stockpile food, you are a Sitting Duck! Once your neighbors kids start dying of starvation, those neighbors and friends of yours will turn to desperation and will take from you whatever they have to do to survive. And I feel sorry for these UA-cam Preppers, everyone knows that they have a stockpile of food and supplies. They will be the first ones to go down, and likely lose their lives in that process. The key in prepping is to not let anyone know. That will buy you a few more days, a few more weeks maybe longer depending on where you live.
Actually, I think the solution to the mobs of people wanting your stuff is not keeping it a secret, but rather gathering a group of like-minded people to form a group to protect each other. And of course spreading your stash in different locations.
@@theGEnericE that's a good idea in theory, but it's not practical. If you live in your home, your support group is going to be where? In the end There's no practical way to be ready for and to be able to defend yourself in a situation like this. Again, in order to survive you will have to be on the Run. It will be sad for the elderly and for the weak, and those with children.
In my humble opinion a powerful widespread cyber-strike is the most devastating weapon humanity has, and would cause destruction and death beyond the worst nuclear strike. It could literally send countries back to the dark ages.
EMPs and CME's are overrated especially from the prepper community, and there's been a lot more research by scientists and engineers to protect trillions of dollars in businesses than the prepper community understands.
All I know is a glorified surge protector isn't going to protect you as you expect. Positive, negative, and ground wires?? Sus, and most likely prepperbait. The most sure way to protect against an EMP/CME is a Faraday cage.
I feel fortunate to live in an area where religious leader have preached the need for food storage, while very few families have stored enough, most have some. There are local church leaders that will take charge of our little area or delegate as needed. Many assignments have already been made. The local church leaders are networked to area leaders, then to regional leaders, & then to global leaders. My fear is that these leaders will try to work with the government. There will still be a few lone wolves but not many as they would eventually need help also.
The fear of complete SHTF I feel is overblown and only the smallest chance of happening. My fear is the SLOW burn of society (which is happening now in my opinion).
@@Utah_Mike I agree, and all-out shtf situation is far less likely than some of the other scenarios. But the reality remains that an EMP event is still a very real threat. And this would be a worst-case scenario.
A question for Andrew on EMP Shield: As the shield is a super shunt device, does it work for say multiple hits as in more than one nuke going off in succession, or is it a one-time active device that will self-destroy on the first trigger?
Ive heard it will last throughout all stages until its over.
