Of course FR's own resident EMP experts will be along shortly to explain how there isn't such a thing as EMP.

A Good Automatic Movement Watch: You need to keep time and coordinate things with your family after the event. Youll have to really shop and find one with a good warranty. I am sorry but the part about the warranty made me laugh. TEOTWAWKI but the watch shop is still open?

An EMP might just be an act of mercy by the Almighty.

If the ammo cans and gun safe don’t keep my electronics safe ill be screwed. My old tablet with all my games will be ruined and I won’t be able to survive.

1966 Ford Falcon with an old 289 Hypo.
When SHTF the antique value gets set a side.....the F250 is my go to vehicle.

Maybe it will be good in the long run for the survivors descendants, but not the survivors.

If it's gonna be nuclear, I hope it's on the ground nuclear. IMHO, gone in a flash is much better than slowly starving to death after an EMP.

You shouldn’t have laughed. A watch maker who is confident enough to offer a GOOD warrantee does so because he expects few (or no) claims to be filed against the warranted product. :6)

Compared to the risks inherent in the unchecked "progress" we are now experiencing, stopping it would be an act of mercy, imho. Allowing it to proceed is a death sentence --
barring some unforeseen interruption, which an EMP could be.
It certainly won't be without collateral damage, but try telling that to all the people ISIS is beheading, all the people being forced into some form of slavery by collectivists and other gangsters; to the million or so babies being ground into dogmeat every year, etc.

EMP is like a chemtrail of nasty energy.

Using the AM/FM radio test, it was found that both Mylar bags and microwave ovens were not good Faraday cages. Both of these failed inside my home. They simply did not work well at all.

They also do that for watches that need regular upkeep.
I am fairly sure my faithful Bulova's warranty ran out a long time ago.

Choosing the right truck for the upcoming unpleasantness (Before you ask, no, the truck pictured above is not my truck. But it's perfect, imo. I've been looking for something like it ever since reading this article. But I'm discovering a big problem is finding one at a reasonable price, which I have not been able to do. A bigger problem, perhaps, and one I haven't even tried to tackle yet, is running the idea by my better half for her approval!)

There are electronic parts in even these that may not survive an EMP.
The capacitor in your distributer. The starter relay. The voltage regulator and the alternator itself are all subject to the heating caused by the induced currents of an EMP.
Granted they are less susceptible than integrated circuits but are still susceptible.
