Because it’s not totally intuitive how to prep and use tech in an emergency. Archived version: https://archive.fo/wk3fE
I’d recommend the Survival Manual app. Your phone means nothing when the weather kills the internet. Survival Manual works offline…
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.
Ah, damn. Then the phone OS preference is the next selector for human genes.
Make sure to double check the comments here, a number of other useful links are coming up…
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.
I install it on all my devices. Agreed, hope I never have to use it though…
There also great Apps for knost, that I have on my phone and use offline. Useful Knots is what I use.
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.

Here you go.
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.
Books are important and very useful. But I don’t carry them all with me like I do with a phone.
Wow the SAS survival handbook has built in GPS and a map of my local area? Damn, books have gotten fancy lately.
Its your local area, why do you need a gps map?
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.
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.
OsmAnd for detailed maps, and Kiwix for offline wikipedia (and other wikis).
I got OsmAnd for GPS in case mobile data is down.
pay wall wtf
I thought i pasted the archived version but the link goes to the original. weird. anyway, here’s the archived version

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.
Yeah i agree. For what it’s worth, here are 2 ways i use to bypass captchas: Use this site: https://archive.fo/ Use a vpn and set the server site to a location that nixes the captchas (Denmark, Taiwan, etc.)
