Letter Re: Some Steel Canning Possibilities

Mr. Rawles,
Given the recent discussion about canning, it seems like sealed tin cans would make an effective Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP [1]) barrier. Why not can some inexpensive FRS [2] radios, small transistor radios, and other electronic items in a standard soup-size can? Can some lithium batteries, and you’ll be all set. By the way, it would probably be a good idea to make sure that the lid and can have good electrical contact. Some cans might be lacquered/coated, so it might be wise to check the lid/can continuity with an Ohm meter.

JWR Replies: That is a great idea. Congrats! You’ve just earned yourself a Blinding Flash of the Obvious (BFO [3]) award. I’ll have my order fulfillment partner mail you a free copy of my nonfiction book “Rawles on Retreats and Relocation.” [4]
