I feel cool having a "doomsday" phone with offline maps, wikipedia and a few other references in kiwix, music, a few weeks worth of podcasts... and curious to know what else one should have. Now if apple could just shoot me a few kb of news/weather updates by pointing it at one of their satellites, we'd be really cooking. (Other than a solar panel and I got a cigarette lighter adapter with clips at the end so I can charge off a car battery without turning on all the accessories) |

I think the most useful offline reference is various rope knots. Mostly because I'm not a prepper and they're one of the few old fashioned skills that doesn't seem to be any less useful now than 100 years ago. Knots aren't just still usable, they're still the common, generally preferred way.
Almost everything low tech is, for most people, something pretty cool, maybe even something we think we probably should learn, but not something that generally comes up in real life for most, like ropework seems to, at least for me.
I made a one-page reference of my top favorites but someone can probably do better: https://www.reddit.com/r/knots/comments/16zcsxi/i_made_an_a5...
