If this Cat 2 Pandemic grows into something far more sinister, it may be great wisdom to prepare by storing knowledge for the future. If we are all sheltering in place, that means that public libraries will not be available to us. If the Internet goes down, then the vast repositories of knowledge is also not there at our fingertips. If our children are unable to attend schools in the fall, then we will have to teach them ourselves. If we need to raise chickens or rabbits, then we'd better learn how to do so now. If the water utilities fail to a lack of workers, then it would be prudent to understand how to build a rain catchment system.
There is so much to learn, how could anyone possibly learn so much so quickly. Well, not to worry, our ancestors did just fine on their own. They did prosper by becoming specialists, but everyone knew at least a little of many different skill sets in order to get by.
I hope that many of you have a large library at home. It's expensive but fulfilling. I sure have one full of classical literature as well as prep material. There are alternatives however.
It would cost a vast sum of money, time, and energy t print out al the things that you would need to know. I've come to the conclusion that there is no need.
If you look in the main prep forum, you'll find a link called the motherload. It's a link of material that is freely downloadable online. If you do torrents, it's a huge file, but again, it's freely downloadable. That one file has just about anything you could imagine in it.
In my personal preps, I've built a solar backup, and bought several USB portable hard drives. They're cheap now. I've stored medical books, home school materials, the motherload, tips gleaned from here, etc. These bits of information could help anyone reading them to star over if the end of the world as we know it happens.
Yes I'm a pessimist, but I'm also altruistic and an optimist too. You see, I think the world that we live in today is a terrible and cruel place. We can make it better, and some of us do the best we can to heal it each day. If things really do go sour, then we could start over later and rebuild our communities. ...maybe in the right ways.
