EMP Protection
Apologies if this has been discussed before.
Anyone have any thoughts on EMP Protection using layers of tin foil?
I've seen plans for faraday cages but just wondered if layers of time foil would be effective enough to protect from an EMP?
Also, is it true that the inside of a microwave oven would provide sufficient EMP Protection?
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

RE: EMP Protection
Simplest thing is to store small devices having FETs in an unplugged microwave oven. Don't throw away an old microwave which stops working, just cut off the power cord close to the chassis and use the box. Test effectiveness of shielding by putting your cellular phone i ths oven, close the door and try to call your cell from your landline. If phone does not ring you gave a good Faraday cage.

RE: EMP Protection
Actually, the phone is ringing and you can't hear it because the door is closed!

RE: EMP Protection
I have a old microwave and a metal dust bin they both work for me.

RE: EMP Protection
Thanks for your replies. Unfortunately I threw an old microwave away a few years ago (before I started prepping)

Oldmicrowaves are easy to acquire. Just look outside blocks of flats.

RE: EMP Protection
Don't worry about it. In forums the threads wither away and new ones are created but new people may give different answers.
