    EMP Shield Install via 2019 RAM 1500 Classic – EMP Preparedness

    For those who may have missed it, I’m reposting this today. It was originally published back in 2021……

    With every day passing by bringing us closer to the next major solar flare event and satellites passing over us every day that may contain EMP-capable nuclear weapons – preparing for EMP has been a major topic for the last decade or so.

    One of the most popular products to come along in recent years is the EMP Shield. The EMP Shield is a device created to protect anything from a house, camper, RV, ham radio equipment – and vehicles from the damage caused by an EMP blast.

    With the acquisition of my new truck(discussed in the member area of this website) I am working on equipping it to be not just a nice looking truck – but more of an overland vehicle. From a preparedness perspective, the EMP Shield is a logical addition.

    BTW – here is my 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock 4×4.

    Back to the EMP Shield……

    I ordered the EMP Shield for a vehicle. It arrived a short time later and I installed it. Super easy!!! I made the video below as an overview:

  • EMP and Controversy

    EMP and Controversy

    There is no doubt that EMP is one of the most popular reasons people prepare. Over the last several years movies and TV shows have caught on and used such an event to tell a story. Numerous products have come out on the market to help prepare such as EMP-proof bags which sensitive electronics can be placed inside and the popular EMP Shield which I have in my truck. BTW – Coupon code “1776” gets you $50 off.

    When I was active on Facebook I knew of several prepper discussion groups that did not allow EMP as a topic. Why? Because of the misinformation relayed and the arguments that would take place. Admins and moderators would have to get involved and it would become one giant pain in the arse. Much like COVID, there is much misinformation spread around as facts, and people get extremely defensive if an alternative belief is suggested.

    Can’t we just all get along? Sometimes.

    Historical events related to solar flares have been used to “prove” a variety of “facts”. The EMP Commission released a report back in 2004 which has been used to prove arguments on both sides of issues with the vast majority taking information out of context. Good information was communicated in this report, unfortunately, the Federal government has failed to properly react.

    So – what’s the truth?

    There are basic steps that can be taken to prepare in case of an EMP or solar flare regardless of the controversy. We’ll discuss this in an upcoming post.

    Take care all.

  • Video: EMP Testing (Garbage Cans and EMP Bags)

    Video: EMP Testing (Garbage Cans and EMP Bags)

    [UPDATED FOR 2020] The threat of a solar flare or EMP has never been higher than today. History shows we are well overdue for a solar flare and with tensions flaring with China, North Korea, and Iran being more prepared for an EMP just makes sense.

    Dr. Arthur Bradley walks through the testing of metal garbage cans and anti-static bags against an RF energy from an EMP. Recommendations include how to properly seal the cans and which bags offer the best protection. Using a more scientific approach than “stick a radio in the trash can and see if it loses signal”, this is some great information.

    I would recommend watching the video at some point over on YouTube and read through the comments. Dr. Bradley responds to many comments and answers questions. Good additional information there.

    If not aware – this is the very same Dr. Arthur Bradley who has authored numerous books including the widely popular The Survivalist series – one of my absolute favorites.

    Go get that trash can…..

  • Grid Down Communications: Satellite Text Communications

    Grid Down Communications: Satellite Text Communications

     

    EMP – electromagnetic pulse. Opinions vary as to how extensive damage to our nation’s infrastructure would be should this unfortunate event occur. The overall consensus is somewhere between serious and catastrophic. One area when considering the effects of EMP is communication. Most agree that cell phones, the Internet, and even landlines will be rendered inoperable. While short-distance communication can be covered with protected standard walkie-talkies, CB radio, and ham radio – reliable long-distance communication is very difficult. When I say reliable – I am referring the ability to reach family and loved ones 1,200 miles away days after and be able to share information.

    Imagine this scenario:

    You have a daughter several states away at college. You have discussed preparedness with her. You have pre-staged some supplies and even have a close friend nearby that she is to go to should something occur.

    On Tuesday while at work the power goes out. Probably just some utility work or a branch fell, right? You pull out your cell phone to use the flashlight and find it inoperable. “Could this be…..err……” You get up and go to the window and look outside and see cars on the busy street down below not moving. People have their hoods up and you see a lot of shrugs and head shaking. “EMP”

    Your mind goes straight to Kelly. 

    Where is she? How will she get to Sheila’s and Jerry’s? Is she ok? How can you contact her?

    One solution is satellite communication. While sat phones are available they are very costly and for most people not realistic. Another form of satellite communication is a text-based device. There are numerous models on the market that allow texts to be sent from one device to another from virtually anywhere in the world. While like satellite phones a subscription plan is required it is much less expensive.

    In doing research on this topic I could find no absolute proof on how well satellite communication can withstand an EMP. Satellites are well guarded against solar flares. Ground-based operations have emergency power systems that may or may not work after an EMP. Like many things regarding EMP we won’t know for sure until it happens. In my mind – and planning – the best case for me is an additional two weeks of communication after an EMP event.

    Two weeks. Think about that. How valuable would two weeks be? Extremely. Even a couple of days which to communicate with someone to plan a rendezvous or to know they are safe.

    The two text-based satellite communication devices I’ve identified as the absolute best option are both made by Garmin:

    sat comms, satellite, communication, EMP, SHTF, prepper

    Garmin inReach Mini

    Garmin inReach Explorer+

    One of the main reasons I have targeted these two is their use of the Iridium Satellite network. The Iridium network offers the highest level of connectivity wherever you are in the world. You can follow either of the links above to check out prices and features for each one.

    I hope within the next month or so to provide a hands-on review of one or both of them.

    Well, another option could be two tin cans and A LOT of string.

  • The Return……..

    The Return……..

     

    1776PatriotUSA.com is back.

    The direction, or possibly better stated the purpose of this website is to report and discuss what we believe to be an existential threat to our way of life and even our very existence [More details to follow].  Preparing for what we also believe is the inevitable realization of the “apocalypse” or SHTF will receive an equal effort within these pages and posts. To bottom line it, we are going to discuss what we believe is going to happen and how to prepare for it.

    The popularity of preparedness has been on a rollercoaster ride over the past couple of decades. Right now those actively preparing is at a very low level. The economy is booming, unemployment is extremely low, and wages are up. There are many reasons for this including a sense of euphoria after the presidential election in 2016. While not all preparedness minded people are fully satisfied with the election results most felt the country “dodged a bullet”. Regardless – the economic boom since has led to many relaxing their preparedness ways.

    Domestic Conflict

    We are a nation divided: by color, monetary stature, by political and religious beliefs. United we are invincible against all enemies foreign or domestic. Those who want to control us (in which there are countless actors) will always try to divide us… gun laws, abortion, conservative, liberal, White, Black, women, men, gay, straight. They will exploit every difference in opinion they can to control the population. They will try to stop your freedom of speech with things like political correctness and so-called “hate speech”. They will attack your rights to defend yourself with efforts to regulate, ban, and eventually confiscate firearms. They support letting in millions of illegal immigrants fundamentally changing the very culture of the greatest country in the world and creating a wave of political change derived from foreign influence.  The mainstream media continues to spread lies and push an agenda which sets to influence the populace. Make no mistake – the mainstream media reports “news” from the position of a special interest group. The truth is twisted, partially presented – or omitted altogether to nurture America’s perspective in an effort to drive a political and social narrative.

    hate speech, civil war,

    What will be the end result?

    It is the belief of the editors of 1776PatriotUSA that domestic conflict within the borders of these United States is not only inevitable – it has already started. Call it a second civil war, a new American Revolution, or an American Reformation – the division of this country and its people will continue and eventually lead to mass armed conflict.  It would take living in a vacuum to not see that there is a political war against Conservative Patriots. The path is set and unavoidable. This domestic conflict will be highly complex, geographically specific, and disrupt the lives of countless millions and forever change this country.

    Preparation for such an event begins NOW.

    Liberal violence, domestic conflict

    EMP

    In 2008 the Commission to Asses the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse(EMP) Attack provided Congress recommendations which to harden the electric grid and critical infrastructures.  While the information was presented and continues to be readily available, Congress took no action to prepare the nation. What this means is should the United States come under an EMP attack(or significant solar flare) upwards of 90% of the population would die within a year.

    EMP, North Korea

    Imagine mass power outages throughout the country:

    • Interruptions to services such as fire, rescue, and medical care.
    • Transportation of everyday supplies such as food and water ceased.
    • Communication all but non-existent.
    • The economic and social destruction of the United States.

    Yup – no more Facebook or Instagram. No more food at the grocery stores and no food stamps arriving each month.

    north korea, EMP

    Think about it. The population would go absolutely insane and mass panic and violence would be only a matter of days away after such an event.

    Starvation. Sickness. Crime. Oh my……..

     

    Summary

    There are plenty of websites discussing hurricane preparedness, making a 72-hour bag, and how to mylar pack rice. The threats confronted by the editors of 1776PatriotUSA.com go beyond the basics and enter into a world most “preppers” refrain from entering.

    Interested? Stick around. It’s going to get interesting.

  • Dismissing The Threat of EMP From North Korea?

    Dismissing The Threat of EMP From North Korea?

     

    While many dismiss North Korea’s ability to bring harm to the United States directly – there are those who believe quite the opposite. There is evidence to suggest that if North Korea has not already placed nuclear warheads within multiple satellites passing over the United States – they could.  Others suggest that an EMP threat exists at a minimum from an offshore container ship launch.

    Who is correct? Who is right? Who has all the facts? Well, I don’t know. Article over, right?

    Not quite.

    As prepper’s we prepare for possibilities. Logic dictates those threats that are most plausible should receive the largest weight in deciding what prep’s to work on. EMP is one of many and in my view moving up the list of possibility.

    In a recent article on World Net Daily Michael Maloof, a former senior security policy analyst for the Secretary of Defense and the author of “A Nation Forsaken” – he lays out his belief that North Korea is a dangerous threat to the United States:

    EMP, North Korea, article, except

    While it is understandable to prioritize economic troubles and personal job loss over a possible EMP threat – to ignore it is just not….recommended.

  • Scenario: 20 Miles From Home And Things Go South

    Scenario: 20 Miles From Home And Things Go South

     

    Here is a scenario that many of us could find ourselves in should the SHTF while we are at work.

    Wednesday morning: Typical Wednesday morning. Alarm goes off at 5:30am and you reach over and hit the snooze. Grab your cell phone and check for text messages and emails. You see a post was published last night from 1776PatriotUSA.com on preparing in case an army of bigfoots attack. You think – “That Rourke is an idiot.”

    After showering, getting dressed and a cup of coffee you hear on the news that there was an incident between North and South Korea. Apparently, South Korea sank a North Korean boat. Details are sketchy.

    7:00am arrives too quickly and the drive to work starts. The news doesn’t report much as far as details regarding the sinking. North Korea is strangely silent about the incident.

    Work starts a little before 8:00am and is another typical day. At 11:30am the power goes out. “Early lunch”, you think to yourself. You grab your keys and head for the car. Someone states as you are heading out the door their cell phone doesn’t work. Halfway to your car, you pull your phone out – dead.

    The worrying begins.

    You get in the car and quickly insert the key. Nothing. You know what it is. You know somehow, some way we got hit with an EMP. You think to yourself, “I’m 20 miles from home. I’ve gotta go.”

    Questions:

    What do you have in your vehicle right now to get you home?

    What method of transportation would you use to get home? Walking? Bike? Other?

    What tools of self-defense will be carried for the trip home?

    Do you have any SOP’s(standard operating procedures)set up with the family so they know what to do in case something like this were to occur?

    How long would it take you to get home?

     

  • Are North Korean Satellite’s an EMP Threat?

    Are North Korean Satellite’s an EMP Threat?

     

    The following was originally posted June 22nd, 2106. It is just as relevant today – and slightly edited for current publication.

    North Korea now has two orbiting satellites that periodically pass above the United States. Many are concerned that one or both of these satellites could contain a nuclear weapon. Is it possible? Could North Korea in an act of insanity launch a nuclear weapon from one of these satellites and detonate it high above the United States? This is the EMP nightmare that many of us dread.

    It is uncertainty that motivates many of us into taking action to prepare for whatever awaits us in the future. These satellites are just another item to add to the possibility list. With the recent threats against the United States from North Korea and their continued nuclear weapon technology progression the threat is growing.

    Lot’s of information out there on EMP preparation and much of it follows common sense preps. Beans, bullets, and band-aids lead the pack. Protecting some electronic equipment such as radio’s requires some specific steps.

    Curious where these satellites are right now?

    How real is the threat?  We – that means you and me – have no idea.

  • Obama Executive Action – Protect United States from EMP

    Obama Executive Action – Protect United States from EMP

    Obama just signed an Executive Order on October 13th acknowledging the danger of solar activity possibly affecting the electrical grid of the United States. This new Executive Action sets up governmental organizations and delegates responsibilities for research and implementation of programs to forecast, detect, and respond to solar activity.

    This is a major position shift of the US Government who in 2008 received testimony on July 10th, 2008 in front of the House Armed Services Committee from the EMP Commission and took no action as a result. The EMP Commission provided a full report to Congress. To summarize – this report concluded an EMP attack could result in a 90% die-off of all US citizens.

    Although this Executive Order specifies solar activity as its focus in it my belief that its true function is EMP preparedness.

    Of interest is Section 4 sub-section D –

    (d) The Secretary of Energy shall facilitate the protection and restoration of the reliability of the electrical power grid during a presidentially declared grid security emergency associated with a geomagnetic disturbance pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 824o-1.

    Beyond the language dictating responsibilities for research, communication, and reporting there are suggestions of overreach.

    (e) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall:

    (i) ensure the timely redistribution of space weather alerts and warnings that support national preparedness, continuity of government, and continuity of operations; and

    (ii) coordinate response and recovery from the effects of space weather events on critical infrastructure and the broader community.

    Section (ii) above could reference an authority for Homeland Security to do whatever they deem necessary in recovery such as seize private materials and supplies and even people – as evident in the National Defense Security Act(NDSA).

    Overall the United States preparing its infrastructure for solar/EMP activity is long overdue. It is at a minimum interesting the timing of this Executive Action and the current activity going on between Russia and the United States.

    One of my favorite TV shows of all time is Jericho. Never seen it? Here is a brief synopsis:

    A small town in Kansas is literally left in the dark after seeing a mushroom cloud over near-by Denver, Colorado. The townspeople struggle to find answers about the blast and solutions on how to survive. Follow each episode as information as to what is happening through the rest of the country and people figure out ways to survive in this new world.

    jericho

    Season 1 consists of 22 episodes. Season 2 has an additional 7 however I was not a big fan of season 2. It was obvious the budget was cut and production quality diminished.

    I am inviting all of you to rewatch the entire first season of Jericho with me and share your thoughts the day after. Starting Wednesday July 27th I’ll recap each episode and give a few thoughts on the previous evening’s events.

    Jericho can be watched several ways. First – Netflix members can access Season 1 as part of their membership. Amazon Prime members can purchase episodes. Of course Jericho is also available via DVD.

    I’ll throw up a reminder as Episode 1 draws near. Remember – watch it the evening of the 26th. and share your thoughts the next day.

    It is uncertainty that motivates many of us into taking action to prepare for whatever awaits us in the future. These satellites are just another item to add to the possibility list.

    Lot’s of information out there on EMP preparation and much of it follows common sense preps. Beans, bullets, and band-aids lead the pack. Protecting some electronic equipment such as radio’s requires some specific steps.

    Curious where these satellites are right now?

    How real is the threat?  We – that means you and me – have no idea.
