Odd that this question, asked in February this year, becomes increasingly relevant with each passing mostly peaceful protest. God Bless and Protect the Once and Future President, Donald John Trump. | |||

Some good items on the list here. Adding to my reading list. Not serious (just kinda joking): I think the Calvin and Hobbes collection should be here. "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." L.Tolstoy "A government is just a body of people, usually, notably, ungoverned." Shepherd Book | |||

I didn't put that on my list but I DO have the Complete Calvin and Hobbes. Into the box it goes  Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

This thread began on February 13, 2020, 187 days ago. We are on page four and no one, myself included, has thus thought to add that quintessential document so central to the effective operation of a free, just community... ... so I say we need to include... ... The Waiver. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

For an EMP? I put a laptop with a DVD reader in my Faraday Cage with 180 .pdfs such as "Raising Chickens", "log Cabin building", "Build a windmill to get electricity". Added a second full charged battery and a second stand alone DVD reader, put all of the .pdfs on a thumb drive and on DVD. It came with a 1 GB hard drive which I added craploads of songs and movies, etc etc. then I added a digital drive to be the primary as it zips fast. These kinds of things: http://seasonedcitizenprepper....paredness-downloads/ and https://www.survivaldan101.com...n-download-for-free/ | |||

So following an EMP, you'll have working computer with cool docs. But how are you going to keep it charged? Do you also have solar panels or something in Faraday cages? That's great. But if this is a nation state EMP attack, there is a good chance there will be encore EMP attacks designed to wipe out any remaining electronics that have been taken out of their Faraday protections. So your choices will be keep your computer and charging systems protected but unusable or risk losing them to a secondary or tertiary attack. My point is that nothing beats the printed page when it comes to surviving EMP or similar grid-down scenarios. If you think you may need it, print it. Oh, and use a LaserJet or photocopy. Ink jet is water soluble and if your docs get wet they will become unreadable. God Bless and Protect the Once and Future President, Donald John Trump. | |||

The foxfire series has been mentioned a couple of times. These are along those same lines but older. I have a set of encyclopedias that I haven't been able to get rid of. Maybe I should hang on to them for the surviving generation. The Book Of Camping And Woodcraft (Library of American Outdoors Classics) by Horace Kephart Woodcraft (The Library of American Outdoors Classics) by Nessmuk (George W. Sears) | |||
