During a get together someone asked if you could go back in time, what one item would you take with you? My cousin said his cell phone so he could have unlimited knowledge with him. I was called an asshole for telling him it wouldn’t work unless he downloaded it all on his phone and asking how would he charge it.
No idea how well it would actually work, but having https://www.howtoinventeverything.com/ (link to the book’s website, not amazon, because fuck amazon) as a reference manual would probably not be a terrible idea.
A phone would be a bit much, but an ereader with a solar charger loaded up with Wikipedia and a chunk of Project Gutenberg would probably last with a bit of care.
This is a good reminder, I need to upload my Kiwix backup to my eReader. I keep a Wikipedia essentials download, survival and medical encyclopedias, and a bunch of “from the ground up” engineering resources backed up offline.

In what format do you keep the backup on the eReader? Is it convenient to browse?
I haven’t actually issued it over to my ereader yet, but I have a Boox so I will probably just use the Kiwix android app
That’s two items. The second one costs extra.
Make them one by diy
