Recently I've been thinking how much I depend on the internet.  I use it to learn any new skill that I'm interested in.  I use it to stay in touch with everyone.

 

There are several SHTF scenarios where it would benefit to government if we all had a hard time getting information and communicating.   Or at least scenarios where they would prefer that the only available information was their message.  I would be shocked if there wasn't already a plan on a shelf somewhere for taking down the internet and one for limiting internet access to "approved" information.  Do you have a communication or information backup plan?

I am going old school

Wouldn't even have to be anything nefarious.  Just not having electric would make internet access difficult, if not impossible.

All my "survival" literature is in dead-tree format. 

Remember two weeks when we had a hard time getting on the forum......

Lol, does that come with a .dtf at the end of the filename?

In my library. It includes the Boy Scout handbook, BSA Field Guide and Peterson's Guide to Edible Plants.

I have a bunch of material available on my local computer and my kindle.  I also have a genset so if the utility power is out, I still can get to it.  Most of it has already been digested, so I don't need the reference materials

Books...books...books. Some of my favorites are actually packed in zip-locks. I have my important documents scanned and on USB drives and hard copies also packed in zip-locks.

I was actually thinking about this the other day and wishing I still had mine.....lots of good info in there.

More faith in Humanity lost with this subject.

 

If you need internet access to wipe your ass, just get order a custom T-shirt that says "Food" on it.

 

There is no coming back from that. No advice will help.

I wonder how many people here actually don't have a printer. Everybody is starting to use their cell phones as LEO no-warrant searchable storage media.

Pick one up for a few bucs.

A mix of hard copy books and stored e-books.

There's already what I think is a big draw-down on what's available for prep info on the web.

Quite a few sites I've downloaded from in the past are gone

I am sure its mostly under the guise of copyright protection, but it really does have the effect of leaving you with really old reference stuff, books you've paid for e copies of, or pirated scanned copies of newer copyrighted works.
