CrossBreed Ark Resister Bag exceeds all military requirements for EMP.

I will revisit this one tomorrow.

 

I concede the point that the ARK bags, according to the specs shown in the thread above, are likely more robust than ziplock baggies.

Buying decisions of one product over another comes down to survivability of the stored product and robustness of packaging vs budget...with each having their relative advantages and disadvantages.

Image appeals to emotions, and to an advertiser if they can make a sale on the emotional appeal of a product, rather than a rational, critical analysis of the products actual benefits, they will be just as happy to flog the product on its emotional appeal.

 

Indeed. My cache memory needs enlargement.

 

It could have been worse.....a Coronal Mass Erection....

 

That would be a massive solar event.

Nice to see someone read the post.

 

Having been through more than one fast exit from a home I see them as a way to keep all your important papers in a flat pack you can keep on your person during evac. Holding weapons and electronics is a plus.

 

Have copies of important papers. Keep these in a plastic, waterproof case. FYI, this stuff is priceless, because you may need to prove who you are and that you own your house. Include:

• Your driver’s license.
• The deed to your house.
• Proof of insurance.
• Medical records.
• Passports.
• Social security cards.
• A list of personal contacts.
• What to Take When Evacuating Your Home | Home Evacuation Checklist

I will add that if you are in an apartment or not take any documents that prove you live there. This may well be your passport to get back in and secure your property.

 

Wouldn't that cause you codpiece chaffing?

 

Your list may vary any way that is a suggested list YMMV.

 

I suggest you ask CrossBreed of all those things you seem to be upset about.
They might well tell you it is their add money they are spending.

OR they could say

“You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here”.

It really doesn't matter what either of us think. YMMV

 

Personally wouldn't go so far as to say phony advertising, but it's nonsensical at the very least and trying to appeal to a certain audience for sure. "Hey, guns and EMP protection! All RIGHT!" I can see the "logic" behind it, but it's catering to a certain demographic...the "newb" or the "me too prepper".

That doesn't mean it isn't a good product (or a bad one for that matter), and it may very well do exactly what it says it will do, but the marketing is lazy (although potentially very effective).

None of my firearms need to be stored in an EMP proof pouch, although one of the optics might benefit from it...maybe. Until we have phasers and/or electronic safeties that lock without power, I don't think we will need to EMP proof our general use firearms. YMMVWV

 

Simple.
They list the pouch as "Being Safe" to store Firearms in.
Read the back panel of the sales box it comes in.
