Since it does seem like that vaccine will kill millions its important to start gathering and storing books about how basic things of society work. Like electric wiring and powerplants and anesthesia and how to make things. How to smelt metal. How to form plastics. Books a out how to make plastics and and vulcanized rubber and refine fuel etc etc. How to make lime plaster.

not just gardening and guns. Stuff civilization will need.

The experts will be in short supply.

And real paper Books last. Smart phones phones and computers won't last a month.

If you have PDFs and ELECTRONIC books you better start printing them out on paper.

And I guess how to tend and tame horses for transportation will be a big thing again.

Fuck.

we wont have a problem powering smaller low power electrical devices, theres all kinds of ways of powering stuff like that, so an external hdd filled with stuff and a small laptop isnt a bad idea. i know we hate microsoft but one of them surface go type things wouldnt be entirely useless.

you wont be able to make calls or use the internet but a mobile phone is chargeable in a blackout.

question. if the lights go down here, do all of the satellite navigation systems go with it or not?

GPS is satellite based, it depends on if the military wants to encrypt them or make them give false coordinates or leave them alone.

Thesethings are only charges le if you have a small solar charger or something. The problem is those break over time and you need to have the solder and non electrical soldering iron to fix them.

You have to be prepared. But then you have to ration their use too beucase you know they will break and you have essential knowledge on them.

Paper books are better.

The foxfire books are wonderful things. If you look around you can find the old single color cover editions for very little.
