Black plastic storage tote bins - the kind with the sloping sides - waste a bit of space both inside and out. I have a small garage so I built this mother of all cubbies to hold these specific double strength cardboard boxes (15"w13"h19"). My garage is heated, no cars go inside, and is pretty clean so I'm not worried about the cardboard falling apart. Not for everybody I know but me for this is working and it's space efficient AF. Heavy stuff on bottom row. Top row has supplies that will get inspected regularly but are off the rotation list. Random garage stuff in middle rows. I'm not a carpenter so my dado shelf joints did not line up anywhere close to perfect- mostly because I used a circular saw and saw horses - so for edge banding I masked it with painters tape. Not all of the boxes are full and a few are empty but if this timeline spawns a bartertown near me in the future I have enough stuff here to trade for maybe a pony.

Capacity tests provided 90 wh from the usb and solar panel produced 26 watts. These are only 29 bucks at Ollie’s and 40 at Menards

I realize there's a .0001% chance this will ever be necessary, but it was fun to make with my kids as a physics - electromagnetism and electrostatic equilibrium - lesson. (Obviously, the plastic bin goes inside as a seat for any electronics should an EMP hit the fan.) We tested and it perfectly blocked our FM radio signals which, as I understand it, are the same frequency as an EMP E1 phase (50-100 MHz).

However, 5G still penetrated the fortress' walls.

Can you hear me now?
