EMP Proof Your Truck in 5 Minutes - The Ultimate Prep For Your Daily Driver or Bug Out Rig

hey guys how's it going hope you've been well today's video we're gonna talk about EMPs and how to make any vehicle EMP proof in about five minutes so we'll jump into that I'll link it down below like in a little uh put a little time stamp down here but before that I'm starting this thing on the channel called gear Tuesday's maybe that's what I'm gonna call it if you can think of a better name drop it down below but I'm shooting for every Tuesday I'm gonna release a gear centric video whether that's one piece of gear multiple pieces of gear little stuff or big stuff or comparing a bunch of like items or whatever maybe a new product release or just something I'm interested in I'm gonna shove all those into videos on Tuesdays so once a week ideally you can look for a gear related video from me because I love gear and I think a lot of you guys do too so that I'll free up another video week hopefully for adventure or interesting cool stuff outside of deer so today it's Tuesday when I'm releasing this video and it's about gear alright so let's start from the beginning what is an EMP and should you care EMP stands for electromagnetic pulse and if you know me if you follow me you know I'm a bit of a survivalist I like to be prepared for what might come my way some might call that a prepper but I don't really identify myself as a prepper necessarily but if you do I'm sure you know all about emps EMPs let's talk about kind of kind of what they are we're not gonna get very scientific at all but it's it's a pulse that's caused by stuff that we'll get into in a second the basically radiates out and has the potential to knock out a bunch of electrical equipment could knock out your modern-day vehicles could knock out your your cell phone the entire grid now there's some devices that I I found out about somewhat recently that can protect your modern-day vehicle and can protect your entire home and your ham radio set up and all kinds of stuff your solar array so cool stuff we'll get into that in a second but an EMP how would it how would it happen I guess so it could happen from a terrorist could happen from a global war but the most likely scenario somebody shoots a nuke not at the ground but into the atmosphere and it detonates in the atmosphere and this causes an electromagnetic pulse I've heard something like three strategically placed nukes can wipe out like the entire electrical system for the entire continental US which is which is kind of crazy to me will it happen who knows and it happened it absolutely can happen so do you want to be prepared for it I don't know that's up to you a lot of people buy like old vehicles pre ECU vehicles like carbureted no computer and that's their EMP vehicle they go out and they buy a vehicle just to be EMP proofed which is cool I haven't done it myself but now I do have EMP proofed vehicles and again we'll get into in a second so terrorist attack Global War II MP it could happen these devices protect against that they protect against electric strikes and they protect against CMI's or coronal mass ejections caused by solar flares and again without getting too technical there's storms on the surface of the Sun and sometimes they get a little big they shoot out a little flare and their directional they kind of shoot that way and shoot that way and these these pulses are missing us all the time back in the 1800's the Carrington event happened which was the largest one that we we know about kind of in modern history and it wiped out all kinds of things Carrington event google it if you want to find out more there's another one that missed us by like nine days in our orbit but theoretically would have just like set us back to the Stone Age because it was a massive one so these things can happen from manmade nukes terrorists wore that kind of stuff but also natural events like the Sun and it's pretty unpredictable when these things will happen I think we'll know like a few minutes before we get hit by like a massive one on earth but a few minutes probably isn't enough time unless you have one of these like in your garage and you just forgot to install and you're like I'm gonna go install it right now I have two minutes start the timer and you could probably do it what inside this is a kind of long-winded what happens is it basically fries a bunch of electronic components this product and EMP shield can hook up in like five minutes there's three wires to plug in anybody can do it so this is basically it it's a box does some stuff has this 3m velcro tape on the back so you can stick it wherever also has some screw holes and there's just three cables you hook it to your positive and negative battery terminals and then the green one is goes to a ground on your vehicle chassis very easy to hook up can be done in a matter of minutes and here is mine installed in my Tacoma not a whole lot to look at but the house units are a little bit more involved but they come with all kinds of instructions and everything so you're like okay what is what is this device how's it work yeah yeah yadda I'm not a scientist I'm not electrical engineer I don't know I talked to the guys on the phone for like an hour I had a bunch of questions they answer them all they have a bunch of stuff on their website again I'll link it down below I have a coupon code as well LLO d will save you $50 off but I'll link it down below then they have a bunch of public military testings that they've done like all like a dozen military testings and it's on like the homeland security list and all this stuff it's like a legit product it's not some little thing you plug in and it does nothing all right so how's this device work you can kind of think of it as like a very advanced surge protector sort of and that's why it does it is effective against lightning strikes and stuff like that as well but basically an EMP happens and it's sending all of this current and it's looking for for where it can it can go and it hits your vehicle and it's just like you're in a fries everything right again we're not getting very scientific this device hooks into your electrical system both in your house or in your vehicle depending on which one you get hooks up and is grounded to your chassis is one of the components so basically when it senses all of this current coming in it says well we need to do something with it before it fries fries the whole system and it shuts it and it happens in like a nanosecond I think every 500 trillionth of a second or something crazy so it takes this current and sends it to the frame and it does it over and over and over and over and over and over again in a very small period of time so it takes this big current and then it and it kind of cuts it down into manageable pieces by basically grounding it same thing happens in the home device except it doesn't ground it into the chassis of your home and grounds it into the actual literal ground and so it's taking all this big thing that would normally jack up your whole system and dealing with it by sending it into the vehicle frame it's safe it's not gonna electrocute you and kill you or anything like that and it has a warranty and all that kind of stuff again check the website for more info I just thought this was a very very very interesting product for someone like me who like my preps are pretty squared away you know I'm pretty squared away on food and resources and weapons and the plan and all that stuff but the hole that I always had in my preparedness was against an EMP and I said well if an EMP happens I know how to make fire I have a bunch of lighters I have a bunch of food I'll survive longer than than most people and I'll just make do without a vehicle or without my electronics and stuff like that that age is no longer now if you if you want a vehicle after an EMP all you got to do is install this product five minutes and then you have peace of mind so is it worth it will an EMP attack happen will coronal mass ejection happen who knows I can't say so for me it's kind of just insurance it's kind of peace of mind I know that if I Drive my EMP proof vehicle out and about then an EMP happens I'll probably be able to make it home especially in like a lifted truck that I can you know go go off the road and make it so for me it's it's peace of mind and it's checking off that box that I used to have like unchecked in my in my preparedness portfolio I guess anyway cool product because it pertains vehicles overland type vehicles which you guys are probably into as well as preparedness and it's just a cool gear item it's not one that you're gonna play with a whole lot but once it's installed you'll feel really good and the best part is nobody knows that this vehicle is EMP proof except for all of YouTube now you guys know that my truck is EMP proof but that's fine it is it is what it is because I trust that after this video there will be a bunch more vehicles that are EMP proof as well we're not getting get to into like what happens after an EMP strike but obviously be a gray man keep your visibility low if there's not a whole lot of working vehicles out there which again who knows what's gonna happen really if an EMP goes off how many vehicles will still be running on the road that aren't EMP proof who knows maybe a bunch maybe none so be smart in the end of the world if you're the only one in town with a running vehicle you know probably probably lay low for a while and and use your vehicle very strategically okay I think that's it anyway again this was gear Tuesday links down below click them that's help support the channel always appreciate it I have a bunch of coupon codes actually ll OD us slash coupons go there all the coupons you could ever want but gear Tuesday's so I have I have a ton of gear you guys know this and I'm a ton of videos to make about a ton of gear but always always always I ask you guys to comment down below let me know what kind of stuff you want to see videos about specific gear gear comparisons this you're excited about some new product that you heard is gonna be announced in the future and you would love me to get my hands on it as soon as possible so that way you know whether it's a good buy for you comment down below ask it let me know and yeah I think that's it I think that's it guys so until next time take care
