Something us preppers really want to know, *IF* a massive solar flare does happen to hit and gives us the days of darkness future potential, which electronic devices will and will NOT be affected? Obviously, the grid will go down, and LARGE electronic devices will be affected (computers, phones, etc). However, I had heard (in regards to EMPs) that small electronics do not have enough wiring to absorb enough of the EMP / solar electric charge to be impacted.
Things like battery powered flash lights, conventional wrist watches (NOT smart watches), small portable radios, small hand held compasses, small red dot gun scopes. Will such devices be impacted or still be in working order as long as you have enough batteries?
How about personal vehicles? Will all vehicles without EMP protection be dead on the side of the road? What if your vehicle HAS EMP protection (looking into getting an EMP proof kit for vehicle) will that protect it from the solar flare?
Just how impactful this potential solar flare is likely to be is very crucial for us preppers to know.
Thank you.
@spiritwarrior you forgot to recommend equipment to her. Honestly, affer food, water, and shelter, you would need a way to protect it and yourself (esp as a woman).
You don't want to just be amassing supplies for someone else.
That was coming in my next post 😛 Honestly, I cant tell her what she needs, its based on the factors surrounding her. if she has a request for specific items, i would be happy to recommend but the categories are as follows:
- Air purification (gas masks)
- water
- power
- shelter
- food
- security
- tools and utilities

I have a hunch that most in the "spiritual community" do not have self defense implements. This is ironic considering that all GF ships are well armed. No one is rolling around in the cosmos unarmed.
Just because you love your neighbor. doesn't mean you pull down your fence. IE, be prepared for anything.

Its funny that you say that because you are indeed correct. People (i say this loosely) think man kind started war over women and money... Nah... Lyrans and Dracos were fighting it out long before us. We are the product of war, not the inventors of war. Jesus said, if you dont have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
@quinn @michael-in-nh I cant edit my posts here for some reason but last night i realized i forgot to add a category that is really important.
Communications - radios, hand held walkie talkies (GMRS), baofeng (HAM) etc..
I have an expression. in a grid down scenario, if I cant get ahold of you, then you are someone I used to know
@spiritwarrior unfortunately, this forum only allows you to edit your post for up to a hour or so after you post it. Most forums will let you to go back and continue to edit it.
Communications are important, and my bug out friends and I discuss it a lot. Likely all communications might be fried if it's a big solar flare, but for many other scenarios where the main communications go down, they can be invaluable. It's not hard to get a ham radio set up for your vehicle, and those lil baofeng portables are great. The main thing though is for everything to KNOW what they are doing if shit hits, even if you can't communicate. IE, shit pops off, we are all going to make our way / meet up at X's place.
Like how we used to make plans pre cell phones! 😉
I agree. But I keep my radios in a home made Faraday box. It take them out to charge them once every 6 months and keep them in there. Repeaters would be fried so you would have to have LoS for communication. But I'm not a comms expert.
Having any kind of plan ahead of time for meet here in this amount of time etc. Is important. Having a group is an excellent idea.
