I think I’d rather have as much of this information as possible in a laminated, ring-bound book with the holes in the pages reinforced. Also the content could be tightly edited and laid out to maximize the amount of information in the book. Of course that would actually be a lot of work to both write and manufacture, so better to just get something that will be useless the first time it gets wet or power runs out.
It’s an interesting thought but I think there are better ways to do this than having some external disk. You could download all of WikiPedia, medical articles, etc to a laptop to the same effect. A survivalist book is probably even better since it won’t rely on power. The product offering of an AI chatbot for when the power goes out made me laugh out loud.
An ai chatbot might be a more accessible way to access information. Also, batteries and solar exist
I think most people would be better off just putting Kiwix on their phones: https://kiwix.org/en/applications/

Is there a public list of shtf type materials like this if someone wanted to collect or edit their own material?
Years ago I found a torrent called "The Ark" which is a collection of various other torrents from different sources, and includes all sorts of random data that could be quite useful in a shtf scenario.
At 238GB it's not that large.
Cute. I have a local instance of kiwix (mostly to avoid distractions) and can see how this would be useful.
Answer is usually: Jellyfin, iTunes (local music), and various PDFs and kiwix.
Surprisingly large amounts of software and even the OS slow to a crawl if they can't contact the Internet (but think they should be able to). Annoying.
Any bets how long that SD card is gonna last?
