    If you need this, you're not gonna make it.

    Once again I have to suggest Project Nomad.

    It already puts together an installer, stack, knowledge base, and local LLM support

    Why though?

    Why take "book" and make it even more fragile and dependent on a dozen factors?

    You're better off printing actual survival guide PDFs duplex with 4 pages per side, binding that, and storing it with a little magnifying glass.

    "oh the world is ending, just let me set up my solar charging station to power the LLM which will read a book for me".

    neat idea but it requires a PC, this requires power and an outlet, which in a true disaster case is not possible.

    Is there anything but for mobile? Or even a dedicated device.

      Kiwix works on mobile, with easy access to pre-download many books including survival books. No local LLM, but there are apps for this as well, so you could build your own setup without much effort.

      Many people have generators for shorter term emergencies. Even in places with severe infrastructure damage they often have grid power, just unreliably and only for a few hours at a time.

      Also there's solar. For the cost of a gaming PC you can get a solar and lfp battery setup that will power a laptop for a very long time.

        I understand, myself have such a backup battery for the house. But I am still pleading my case for a mobile solution. If there is a earthquake or large scale disaster, I am more inclined to have already my phone on me than my laptop.

        ( not sure what was the downvote for... )
