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.
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!).
Awesome, always thought about having something with .docs and PDFs saved so I have something with knowledge beyond my own!! Let's face it. I only know so much and can only learn so much in a certain time. Having such a resource in a grid down scenario is just priceless!!🎉😂😂 Gonna go out and buy some premade sticks and research some other things!!!😂
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.
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.
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.
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.

@@qclear1164 Cool. What about regular USB sticks?
@@DRUMMER-j-u2x 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🙏🙌❤️

Glad I stumbled upon your channel
Thanks, glad to have you!
Really interesting, I did not know that about wikipedia. Thanks
Great video. Thank you for the ideas.
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 😔
I just found this video in October 2024, do you have an update?
the dam stick sitre is gone or something please correct.
Is that index still available? Seems that the link is now bad.
All your links are dead except for the sd card as of nov 18-2023
Link seems broken. Would be nice if could provide another link to download.
Your links are broken
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.
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.
how do I access this library?
It's 7 1 2024 can you find the links for the survival library you mention in this site?

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.
@@GreatLakesPreppingany links to your survival literature?
is not possible buy it :(
Indianapolis link is dead site so is the get your stick link
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.
I've used cheap SD cards that have lasted 5 to 7 years
they last a very long time if you aren't actively reading/writing. so this would be fine
That Stick Survival Index link you have goes to some scam site now! You should update it or remove it.
You should check out apocopi
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.

That's interesting stuff right there, what kind of information did you collect apart from your personal stuff?
Imagine someone stole your sd card day before apocalypse
Luckily for me, I've got 9 duplicates of it tucked away in various places!
@GreatLakesPrepping anyway pro. Appreciate the work you did for us
Content links all dead now.
Internet hentai will one hundred percent jump in value in a mad Max scenario
the stick link is full of viruses
Unfortunately, Wikipedia can't be trusted anymore...
