Starting an Off-Grid Digital Survival and Prepper Library
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 бер 2021
- All type of information is at our fingertips at basically all-times. In the form of the internet, computers, and mobile devices, all the world's knowledge can be instantly accessed. This has been "the norm" for awhile now, and I think most of us probably take it for granted and don't really think about what happens if we can no longer access that endless ocean of information.
So in this video I want to talk about starting your own digital information repository. Collecting hard-copies of books is cool, and I do that too. But there's just no way around the fact that most people don't have the room or the budget collect tens of thousands of books, references, articles, and manuals about every possible subject.
But because we're living in amazing technological times, you can fit absolutely incredible amounts of information in a space smaller than a postage stamp. That's what this video is all about.

Here are some of the things I was talking about in the video:
SanDisk 200GB Ultra MicroSD Card

Cheapo Android Tablet that accepts MicroSD cards

The "Survive Everything" E-Book Bundle:

In this video I also talked about "The Stick Survival Index". This is not mine, and I have nothing to do with it. But if you're interested in accessing it, I'll share where I found it:
The Stick Survival Index

You can also download the entire index of 6700 PDFs all at once. At the bottom of this page, there is a link to get a large ZIP file:

This is exactly what I've done. The only difference is that I use a small laptop computer dedicated solely for this purpose instead of a tablet. On the microSD card, I've stored up all of my photos, all of my music (over 1200 CDs), my personal documents, telephone directory, maps, and a ton of survival information. Recently I invested in some small solar panels and a Jackery solar charger unit that is able to run small appliances, including the laptop. I have all of the information I mentioned backed-up on a small external hard drive as well. All of this is easy to grab and go. However, it's usually kept in my B.O.B. Thanks for the tip about the Stick Survival Index! That looks awesome! Fantastic video, Great Lakes!
Thanks Drummer. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of having a backup of all my personal photos and whatnot that's always with me. I'm sure I could fit lots of those on this same SD card. But then I start thinking about my music collection, and the absolute GIGS of video and media for all of my youtube videos and other projects. I guess it's about priorities. I can keep those hard drives in the fireproof safe and that covers it for most things. As for having critical/vital info that's always accessible, I think I'm on the right track.
@@GreatLakesPrepping I can fit everything on the card . . . photos, music, documents, maps, books, etc.
I'm doing the same here! Saving a large collection of books, ripped youtube channels, music etc!
However guys, remember; a hard disk will last about 5 years before corrupting your files. Therefor; buy some 25GB bluray m-disc archival dvds
and burn the data on there. these discs, if well preserved, can last a thousand years (no joke!).
@@qclear1164 Cool. What about regular USB sticks?
@@averagejoesmiling456 same same depending on quality of the stick. but max 5years before 'bit-rot' begins
Good information Great Lakes, thank you for passing it along to us. Have a wonderful day🙏🙌❤️
Great video! Every Prepper should be doing this. Sadly it's probably an after thought for most. The information to take a long is invaluable. Perfect! 👍👍👍😃
sad part most preppers think this is a wasted of time because of emp's and no eletric. i figure lest i try and if i can get a laptop and a solar panel for hour a day it be worth it to have the info. i been doing it for over 20years. i used to collect books but when i figure i will have a back seat of books that weigh a ton i started this. now i have over 2tb of info. i figure what i have to lose. i not going to carry around 20 books and i probable make a fire with them anyway. a hard drive is little bigger than a phone and a laptop fits in my bag.
Great video. Thank you for the ideas.
Really interesting, I did not know that about wikipedia. Thanks
Your links are broken
All your links are dead except for the sd card as of nov 18-2023
Glad I stumbled upon your channel
Thanks, glad to have you!
Link seems broken. Would be nice if could provide another link to download.
the dam stick sitre is gone or something please correct.
Is that index still available? Seems that the link is now bad.
This is a good idea for low power computers. Raspberry pi, intel atom tablet, low power laptop etc etc. Of note too an SDR would allow you to monitor radio frequencies of all sorts - gps dongle with offline maps would be immensely useful as well.
Anyone remember the Tilt Shift website? The owner believed the earth was due to tilt its axis and hand a huge library of survival books for free.
I've been collecting e-books on prepping for a while.
I tried going to your links for this PDF bundle but it's not working for me 😔
Indianapolis link is dead site so is the get your stick link
That Stick Survival Index link you have goes to some scam site now! You should update it or remove it.
It's 7 1 2024 can you find the links for the survival library you mention in this site?
Dude I think you're totally on to something special if you figure out how to do all these things on your own storage device and then sell them I'd probably be interested in obtaining one since I'm not very computer savvy but I am some what E.M.P smart so I do know it'd be smart to put it into a Faraday cage to hold that information on that card.
It's a cool idea, but unfortunately I don't have any sort of ownership rights to the MANY publications that would be included on such a thing. I've seen some libraries similar to this for sale on a memory card or similar, but they're basically public-domain docs, which usually means OLD. Old info can be useful, but I personally want a lot of new info also. As far as I can tell, the best way to go is put something together yourself, or see if you can copy a library like this from a friend or family member.
Oh I was under impression that everything that you have was open source
@@stopit4uca A lot of it is, but I also have a ton of e-books that aren't.
is not possible buy it :(
You should check out apocopi
what i heard is that sc cards only last 2 years. get some usb's or external ssd's.
SD card? They last longer than 2 years from my experience.
believe or not i have 2tb of info. i been collecting back when flash drives was 1gb late 90's. i have all my stuff on a hard drive. i had a bunch of stuff on a pc until it crashed and i start putting on a flash drive now i use a external hard drive. it still amaze me i can still find stuff i dont have. thanks for the info i did not know about those sights. word of thought dont think those sites will always be there. down load everything. sites come and go. i dont like the sd card to much they do go bad very quickly. so far i had one external hard drive went bad but i keep a back up. i hopping for the day when you can put it on a cell phone. FYI watch youtube and down load video you want to keep for your files. you wont believe how many hours i have on prepping.
Content links all dead now.
