An ammo can is pretty small, especially once you insulate it. What do you think of a wood footlocker covered in metal window screen? Would the wood be enough insulating, or would you have to add more? Do you think screening would suffice? What about building a cube with a door out of screening, then having a couple shelves that slide in and out to keep stuff?CopperKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05910050712694930988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081089221782684216.post-50533628085124315192012-05-08T20:41:54.128-07:002012-05-08T20:41:54.128-07:00Remind me on that... do you have to ground the cag...Remind me on that... do you have to ground the cage-can? I don't remember if it has to be grounded or shouldn't be grounded.<br /><br />As for contents, definitely a few flash drives with vital info. If you have a lot of info maybe a portable USB hard drive.<br /><br />I don't know if batteries would be affected, but having some spares stored inside would be a good place to keep them. Same thing with a couple small LED lights. <br /><br />I like the idea of using a larger can and storing a small laptop inside. You would have to have something to read the flash drives or they won't be any more useful than if they were wiped clean.<br /><br />A pair of small rechargeable handheld radios would be useful for communications.<br /><br />A solar chargers is a great idea for the AA and AAAs, but if you decide to keep the larger stuff, I would suggest looking into vehicle chargers for all your items. A giant 12 volt car battery can charge a lot of stuff, especially if you multitask your car to charge everything you can while you drive places... if the car can survive any EMP type strike.CopperKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05910050712694930988noreply@blogger.com
