Arsenic Lupin posted:A follow of mine is livetweeting watching the Preppers reality show. I haven't seen the show, and I don't really want to defend a person whose idea of 'disaster prepping' is probably to buy a hundred guns while not knowing how to grow a carrot. But surely he's correct to say that everyone's radios should be kept in a faraday cage, because you don't need them now, you need them to survive the EMP burst so they can be used afterwards. And as to how effective the garbage can would be? I skimmed a government PDF about EMP shielding, and as the lowest level of protection is "just unplug the device" and "wrap spare electronic devices in tin foil" so perhaps more effective than I'd assume.

Local goon believes that if all you have to talk to is other preppers, that's not a lot of good conversation. He's not going to be able to talk to anybody who actually knows how to grow staple foods in the local climate, for instance.

I don't think it matters how well prepared they are, because who would win? - One lonewulfxxx prepper with 10 shotguns and tins of beans and medical kit that they refuse to share so they can be king of the wasteland - Their ten neigbours with three shotguns between them and an ordinary human drive to work together to get through a crisis

The guy who does behind the bastards talked about realistic prepping on one of his podcasts and basically explained that you can stock up on dried goods which last forever and make connections in your community so that when times are tough, you can share your stuff as needed. Also guns, because he's on the front lines of these antifascist protests in areas with large amounts of armed white supremacists itching to gun down protestors. The guns part doesn't really apply to most of us, like my poor east coast city where the nut jobs are far off and few in number all dying of COVID right now.

Yeah, there's preparing for problems and mutual aid, and there's prepping where you think you're the one smart person in your neighborhood who's going to survive whatever nuclear exchange causes an EMP above your head. One of these scenarios is a fantasy. Especially because even at high altitude, the size of the detonation needed for an EMP to fry something like short wave radios in a large area would definitely shower you with a lot of radiation too. Which will probably be a bigger problem.
