I agree print is best and I have neglected it. My neighbor growing up taught A-10 pilots E&E and invited me to help. I didn’t know the gift he was teaching me, but it has paid in spades with hunting and bushcraft. I still have the USAF survival manual and Camillus survival knife he gave me. I can do a lot of things, but meds are my weakness. Thanks for pointing out the flaws in my plans. I’m a minor league prepper but growing up and serving in the 80’s has never left me. Good advice!

I have several years worth of Backwoods Home and Self-Reliance magazines, plus "Where There Is No Doctor," "Where there Is No Dentist,", Physician's Desk Reference, Encyclopedia of Country Living, SAS Survival Manual, plus assorted other titles.
Books are by far the best way to stave off boredom, and don't require a battery or internet connection - personally I have about a hundred to be read science fiction and fantasy novels (Vance, Nylund, etc) in my closets. Sadly life is so busy and I can only finish about a book every week or two, and I buy them much faster than that! 
Oh I fully misinterpreted the point of this haha. Okay I own a few books on gunsmithing, a couple on outdoorsman stuff, and about a million cook books, but I'm definitely lacking in many regards when it comes to "useful" books.

Izaak Walton will come in handy....along with clay pipes....
Yes a large portion of our place is Solar. Heck even our 30 mile fence controllers are solar. we have 4 25 watt panels and a marine battery. I was curious a few weeks ago and hooked an inverter to the solar controller it worked quite well.
Agreed. But 100 watts keeps the controller running and battery fully charged. Works much better than a stand alone Solar Fence charger.
I agree print is best but for those with limited storage, digital may be a better option.
My current setup is my retired (college) 2013 MacBook Pro, 9TB external hard drive full of manuals and instructional media, charger, 750w inverter, solar charge controller, and disassembled lead acid battery. Stored in a steel copper mesh lined trash can with cardboard insulation. I call it my faraday library. The down side is it took me 2 hours a night for nearly 2 months to download and organize everything.

100% agreed. Different folks look at the “preparation“ thing differently. Some, a bunch of kooks. Some, a fad. Some, wisdom, Some, insurance. Some call it Wednesday. JMO
99 cents a can, red devil lye. Every trapper uses it every year for cleaning traps. 3 bucks will make enough soap for two, three years.
It’s Wednesday……..
