Right. That’s why I’m asking the questions. There doesn’t seem to be reliable info on what will and won’t be affected. It made sense to me to stock items that for sure wouldn’t be. But, I wasn’t positive about even just regular old school flashlights. I had gone ahead and stocked some green glow sticks, but an actual light would be more useful if you know it can be relied upon to work.
What about the items like the walkietalkies? They have to be plugged in to have a charge son them so they work when you need them. Bu5, if an EMP is going to take them out because they’re connected to the power grid is there an alternative?
Just some things I’ve been pondering.
Keep them in a metal can, like one of those surplus ammo cans mentioned as a nice waterproof way to store ammunition. If you're a belt AND suspenders sort of person, keep that can inside a metal garbage can with a metal lid tightly sealed on it, and keep the garbage can inside a 20-foot steel shipping container that's well-grounded.
