I posted this as a GD thread, and was asked to repost here. Survival Lessons from the Balkan Wars - SHTF Anthology 149 page pdf ... free to read or download for later, written by Selco Begovic. Good stuff considering what's happening around the world, and here in America. Enjoy. Link to pdf Another book of interest is a failure of civility. Basically how to organize a neighborhood for SHTF. It is kinda over the top depending on your neighbors, and some stuff just won't work, but there are some good strategies people may not have considered. Community plans, defense, etc. |

I'm not sure if it's been suggested or not, but I've learned quite a few things from Youtube videos, from basic plumbing issues to working on my truck. How about in addition to PDFs why not start collecting videos of this type of stuff and downloading (there are plenty of YT downloader sites that can easily be found by a simple search)? Seems logical. |

From our own ShaneS. Not sure if he still posts here https://www.theplacewithnoname.com/blogs/klessons/index.html That site is the result of his real world experience during hurricane Katrina. I believe it grew from this thread: https://www.ar15.com/forums/Outdoors/-ARCHIVED-THREAD-Hurricane-katrina-et-al-and-LA-Riots-Survivor-Question/17-606652/?page=1 The story of his warning shot is very entertaining, it's on the first page. |

Seems logical. Problem I've found with saving any sort of videos in quantity is that they're memory hogs compared to PDFs and Word documents. Not a big deal if you're storing your collected information on an external drive. The pocket thumb drive I EDC can't handle too many videos. You're correct in saying that the video format is a good educational tool, though, as long as there were good production values. I've seen some really bad videos as well |

I've seen some really bad videos as well I definitely don't disagree with your points. I just know some book instructions can be confusing without seeing it step by step, and some people are strictly visual learners. Production values aside, I think its another good tool to think about. |

If you want portable, go with a Samsung T7 SSD it's about the size of a pack of cigarettes - 1 terabyte is $120. They are some pretty heavy-duty drives, but there are even more ruggedized drives out there, as well. If you don't mind a stationary drive, you can get 8 terabytes for $160. You can also access videos/data from the T7 through your phone/ipad also. |

It was recommended on a youtube video I watched recently. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1792159226 |

Yeah, if you want to go the route of an external drive there are lots of options Sheesh, some people are never satisfied. As I said, the T7 is about the size of a pack of cigarettes. My Dad smoked forever and he always had a pack of smokes w/ him. The T7 is 2 3/8" x 3 1/2" x 1/2", so it's actually smaller than a pack of cigarettes. If you don't like that option, then get a Samsung micro flash drive such as this one. I have one and it's 1" x .5" x .25" and it even has a built in slot so you can hook it to your key chain. |

Going to keep copis on micro sd cards in my phone and tablet. A base of knowledge as an insurance policy. Hardest part is figuring out best ways to download relevant material. There is so much out there. |

If you're still working on your collection, I'm still willing to share my collection. I would require that you send me an external drive that I can copy my collection to, as too many people were deciding to not return my external drives that I would send them. |

There was a general invitation that was posted in an earlier survival PDF thread that went to archive a long time ago. I haven't worked on the PDF collection project in a couple of years at least, but last I recall it was around a TB of data. I'd have to dig out my external drive and check to confirm. It was broken down into multiple subfolders so if you had an interest in only one category it would be a simple matter of copying only that folder. The whole collection outgrew the thumb drives I was originally using |

If you want the whole thing as it currently exists a 1 TB drive would be needed If I were to go through the collection and cut out the various video clips ( which I've done for some people in the past ) it would be substantially less memory. Almost all of the video consists of older video clips and probably doesnt really add critical information to the overall collection. |

Just stuff I can upload to a tablet as needed to read, some in advance, some to just have if needed. |

I carry a slimmed down copy of the collection that includes canned copies of all my personal documents and thats still under 450 GBs, so that should give you an idea on capacity |
