The One Long-Term Survival Tool Everyone Forgets
The Survival Mom
*** begin quote ***
We have three Kindles, and a hand cranked charger that will charge them and our MP3 player. A hand crank charger is dirt cheap, easily repaired if it breaks and takes up almost zero room (as usual, I am not affiliated with this site or product in any way, merely a happy customer). Two of the Kindles have yet more manuals on them, with duplication of the vital ones.

I’m not so sure about the need for “entertainment” when the world is falling down around your ears.
But, I did note that Orthodox Jews have the entire Talmud, other sacred writings, and all sorts of utilities (i.e., concordances, vocabularies, dictionaries, etc. etc) on an IPAD.
Her point might be more accurately that it is possible to have the wisdom of the world on a Faraday enclosed electronic.
While technology is never cheap (i.e., matches are more expensive than Tom Hanks’ two sticks on the island), sometimes it’s “cheap” as compared to the alternative (i.e., ignorance).
imho!
I’d suggest the ipad as less “locked in” than a kindle, but that’s merely a technical opinion.
Her opinion notwithstanding, it seems like good advice.
Besides what are you going to do with your worthless fiat paper currency when it’s only value is tinder (i.e., Zimbabwe dollars)?
