      The entirety of Wikipedia is only like 50GB. You can literally carry it with you on a thumb drive.

      It’d be hell to actually view since that’s only counting the raw text info, but you could conceivably do it. If you include things like XML and edit history, that climbs to something like 20TB. A lot, but still technically possible. Especially if you compress it (which drops it down to like 200GB) and only decompress it when you need it.

      Know if there is an iOS equivalent? Seems like a great thing to have but my search just pulled up paid or subscription based apps

        Not according to the site unfortunately. ☹️

        It’s based on official military survival guides plus other updates and resources. Maybe you could try finding a downloadable Survival Guide PDF that you could hopefully use offline.

        I’m not sure, not very familiar with Apple/iPhone ecosystem.

      Thank you for sharing this. this looks incredibly useful and although I hope I never have to use it having it installed puts my mind slightly at ease, yknow, just in case.

      Also, you can share apps that you have on your phone to others even without an active internet connection.

      It works with the Google Play store and with F-Droid.

      So if you have the survival manual on your phone you can share it with neighbor and friends after a disaster.

    What you are looking for is called a book. It does not need power or internet, just light to read. The SAS Survival Handbook is good for all around advice.

      That’s great for an emergency kit but you never know when something will happen and if you’ll be in a position to get back to your kit. Seems pretty worth.

      Wow the SAS survival handbook has built in GPS and a map of my local area? Damn, books have gotten fancy lately.

          Well, the most likely natural disaster here will involve my immediate local area being under about 5 meter of water, so either I’m elsewhere and in need of a map, or… well, not in need of a map.

    I couldn’t get past the Captcha, so I guess I’m fuckt. I tried a dozen times - does a tiny corner of a wheel count as “bicycles” or not? Is that a car or a van? OK, I will definitely pass this one… nope.
