How & Where Can Preppers Store All That Information?<\/a><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

Information Collection for the Prepper \u2013 Part 2<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Most of the information discussed in these articles will be electronic files \u2013 specifically PDF and TIF files. This article will discuss how to safely store these files and use them before and after the SHTF.<\/p>\n

Portable Storage of the Library<\/strong><\/p>\n

What I need to be able to do is read PDF and view TIF (graphic) files using my cell phone. It would be best if I could read these files from a USB drive, or secondarily, from a miniSD card. The plan would be that I would copy these files from my computer to these storage (USB and\/or microSD) devices. I will sometimes call the information stored on these devices as the \u201cLibrary\u201d.<\/p>\n

I like the\u00a0Corsair Flash Survivor Stealth USB 3.0 Flash Drives<\/a>\u00a0because the USB drive is built into an \u201carmored\u201d case. The case appears to me to be made out of steel and rubber and is shock resistant with a water seal. These devices are about 3 inches long and about 1 inch in diameter. I have carried 2 of these devices in my pocket, along with my EDC (every day carry) stuff, for over a year now. My grandson carried the one I gave him on his keychain. The paint is a little worn but the devices still work fine. I have two 256 GB drives.<\/p>\n

Here are the things that didn\u2019t work:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can carry thousands of PDF and other computer files with me everywhere I go. I just needed a portable device to read them with. Read on and I will tell you about my struggles finding a portable device to read these drives with.<\/p>\n
