How is a faraday bag made
DIY Faraday Phone Bag [Prep 365: EP105]
hey everyone Morgan here so today I'm
going to be making a fairy day phone
pouch for my phone so you can buy these
you know professionally made like from
you know silent pocket and there's a
bunch of different brands and things
like that but I'm gonna try to make my
own and just kind of see if it works
I've seen a lot of tutorials online
showing the same process I've made
something similar this is a similar
process on how you would make a Faraday
cage kind of but I'll just kind of show
you the process okay so first of all
you're gonna want something like paper
cardboard would be preferred about
something paper this is a construction
paper so we're gonna try with paper and
then we're gonna have the tinfoil I'm
gonna wrap I'm gonna tape all this up so
basically when it comes to any sort of
Faraday anything you want every single
little piece of everything taped up okay
so nothing should there shouldn't be any
type of you know signals getting in here
so you want everything taped up so I
have two sheets of paper here and then
[Music]
[Applause]
so you want it snug
okay so just kind of fold it over the
best that you can and don't worry about
the top for now alright once you've
sealed everything you may have to come
back and steal some more you know once
you do your test but once you've sealed
everything is I ran out of the gorilla
tape so I went over my existing gorilla
tape with either tape so once you have
it all you basically you know you just
really want to make sure everything is
sealed sealed sealed everything is
pressed down you know really really
tight
okay so now it's time for the aluminum
foil I'm going to wrap this three times
with aluminum foil and then I'm going to
come back and I'm going to wrap the
aluminum foil with more paper so again
you know you're sealing everything up
again with the tape okay so I have about
three layers here I'm gonna make sure
the phone still fits looks good alright
now it's time to wrap the paper around
the aluminum frame and then take that up
alright once you have your outer layer
all set up then you want to seal the
layers of top together okay so I'm gonna
take some tape and just seal the top
layers all together and make sure
they're sewed up really good together
all right so the phone calls be made to
the cell phone inside there's no
vibration your calls been forward so you
know with with this or any type of
Faraday cage you have to make sure that
there's absolutely no gaps okay there's
no gaps in any of your layers so what I
did on the outside here is I actually
wrapped the entire thing in tape just to
make sure that everything is really
secure plus you know you have to make
sure that there's just no gaps in any of
the layers that you make in your first
layer and your foil layer and of course
in your last layer you gotta make sure
there's no gaps okay so really pay
attention to make sure there's
absolutely no gaps but I call this
pretty good you know I would keep
wanting to test it and just make sure
that you know it's it's still gonna be
good but I might make a couple more just
kind of refine a little bit I I think
the next time I do it I'm gonna
literally wrap every single layer in
tape just like I did this outside just
to make extra sure that you know I am
securing those potential gaps but but
yeah so now I know that there's a lot of
debate when it comes to Faraday cages in
general right and there's also a lot of
to be about just you know whether
they're going to even protect it whether
these homemade things will protect it
whether the things that you come by will
protect your stuff you know so there's a
lot of debate so do it don't do it but
you know do a lot of testing with
whatever you decide to do and there's a
lot of Preppers that are like well if I
don't want to use my phone I'm certainly
not going to use a Faraday cage you know
to hide my stuff I'm just gonna break my
phone and get rid of it and that's on
you okay you want to get rid of your
phone get rid of your phone all right
there's no right or wrong answer here
okay this is just you know the Faraday
option is just a really quick way to get
yourself off-grid for a minute like if
that's all you need you know just like a
few minutes to get off-grid or whatever
you know or intermittent or intermittent
it intermittent
do they um or you know whatever the case
may be I don't know or maybe you think
that an EMP is coming you want to
protect your stuff and you're out and
about and you know you don't have your
big ol little Faraday cage with you you
just have this right this is a nice
portable option for at least you know
your device and and and your charging
cables as well you'll want to throw
those in there as well
so anyway thank you all so much for
watching take this information as you
will you know there's lots of companies
down below to where you can actually buy
your the Faraday bags and I'm gonna put
a link down below to those people I'm
not sponsored or anything or make your
own DIY version thank y'all so much for
watching conquer tomorrow preparing
today like tell everybody
