We keep our crank radio in the Microwave of our camper, have chains hanging off both cars and solar flashlights.

Your crank radio, your watch, your car all contain microcircuits NOT MilSpec nor shielded against EMP. Plugged into anything or not, turned on or not, PN junctions in microcircuits will be blown open and blown shorted. - Electronics is my life since 1971.

If this is true, then what is the best way to shield these components, if such a thing is possible (and economically feasible)?

So, have this 1942 Zenith radio, has shortwaves and regular AM. Runs on batteries too, though has to be cobbled because nobody makes them anymore. But if what you say is true there might not be anything to listen to!! Hm.
