Ask HN: What information would you include in a digital survival kit?

2 pointsby tbirrellalmost 6 years ago
In the event of an emergency where you lose internet access (natural disaster, EMP, stranded on a trip), what sort of information would you want with you?<p>Given how cheap SD cards are, and the fact more and more phone can take them, I&#x27;m trying to make a sort of digital survival kit. Something that has the information that I don&#x27;t know, but would usually Google to find out if I ever did need to know it.<p>The problem that arises from that is that since I currently don&#x27;t know this information, I don&#x27;t know to add it to the offline storage.<p>If you have made something like this, what did you include? And if you haven&#x27;t, what sort of information do you think would be good to have.<p>Some things I have considered are:<p><pre><code> - Basic woodsman&#x2F;outdoors guides - Flora and fauna guides - Maps - English &lt;&gt; foreign language dictionaries (like Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Mandarin at minimum) - Copy of Wikipedia (a lite version, not the full 58GB) - Basic electrical guides - Basic plumbing guides - Basic vehicle repair (cars, trucks, tractors)</code></pre>
