/wrol/ - Without rule of law, or shtf.

First and foremost it has to be Lights, systems to boats, Radio, And perhaps some early communications to the rest of the world.

I honestly think we should ration/prohibit any electricity that isn't one of the above until we have more than we can spare and even then you can't just willy nilly that shit.

I've got an external hard drive full of music and anime.

Complete discographies of ~125 metal bands, mostly up to date. I don't even remember most of the chinese cartoons I put on it, mostly moeshit.

>>383

If we take over a dam like most of you guys are wanting to do, we'll have more than enough electricity for anything.

I have the do/k/ument, except the Drugs and Sex rars.

I also have the (most) of the Studio Ghibli films in Japanese/English.

Got some random films, might get more.

>taking over something always next to Highways and roads

>taking something that attracts alot of attention

>trying to take something probably being occupied by the National guard

No thanks

I know very little about the usage of electricity but I do know the basics, so I'm not sure if this will be feasible or not.

>>440

Well, we could get a fuckton of car batteries and hook them together, And speaking of car parts all we need to do is hook up a car's alternator to a windmill/water wheel and that's a good way to get electricity, the problem is it has to spin fast enough to actually make any electricity.

What do you do warscribe? If you don't mind telling, off.

>>447

As of right now, I'm unemployed. I've worked various jobs over the years, mostly in retail. I did a five year stint as a SAR Tech.

Both my father and grandfather were Army lifers (both served more than 25 years), both are very traditional. As a child and teen I was taught how to maintain and repair engines, electrical work, plumbing, woodworking, tree felling, wood splitting, roofing, capentry, and masonry. I was also homeschooled.

I spent most of my childhood in the woods or camping. Spent my summers being chased by my father and uncle (who'd also been in the Army) through the woods. I was taught concealment, camoflauge, small unit tactics, recon, map/compass reading, dead reckoning, firearms proficeny, stalking/tracking, hunting, and woodland survival.

My mother (and grandmothers) are extreme tradiationalist(s), but also serve as an Army Reservist. I learned to cook, sew, animal husbandry, child rearing, food preservation, gardening, canning, and basic medical knowledge using herbal redmidies.

I have hobbies in amatuer radio, nuclear physics, amatuer radiation, computers/electronics, military sciences, firearms, cartography and have an extreme interest in the era from the 50's through the 80's.

I've also read, watched, and listened to all the boring stuff. I am a very inquisitive learner, a hands-on kind of person, and always listening to the old timers.

I was also homeschooled and spent lots of time at historical sites, museums, and libraries.

>>456

shit If any of us get to Beaver Island it has to be you.

Back up of important documents on hard drives. Books are to be troected. We will be able to generate power and a lot of our electronics will survive. Data rot/bitrot will speed in radiation, but there will be few things lost. Get a data rack and start saving/archiving.

A battery pack and solar/hydro/wind. We know how to make motors. Refining raw resources will be Key. Keeping industry up is the hard part.

We must have the information to teach trades and infrastructure. After 3 generations if there is nothing directly killing us, we will be returning to normal life.

I have often thought about this subject. A burned DVD, hard drive, or USB thumbdrive encased in a block of wax to keep out the elements?

Throw it down a hole and make note of the coordinates. Share the coordinates at your discretion.

What about video games would that be still viable?

at most have a public radio station that has music sometimes so people can listen to that or something.

Fucking finally someone on here other than me and warscribe maybe we should make another thread on /k/ to get some traffic back

>>496

I will later today strelok. It is bed time now.

I fell asleep two or three hours ago to link related, then the dog woke me up to go out. Now it is time to do i again!

So what about all the power plants? Won't they all go end up like Chernobyl with nobody watching them?

>>486

The old classic "dead drop", a tried and true method of information dispersal.

>>506

That was discussed at length in this thread; http://8ch.net/wrol/res/355.html#q355

>>372

I think a Ham radio with packet capability to connect to whatever thing close to the internet thats going to be

After all even if the situation stabilizes we're not gonna get any new electronics for quite a while, perhaps not in our generation

Some for of satcom would be good to, to use whatever satellites still remain

My concern is that someone could use my ham radio to trace me, is that possible?

>>441

That won't work because alternator makes electricity at fairly high rpm compared to wind turbine.

People could use Android phones running SERVAL MESH to communicate with eachother over WiFi and to share files.

>>616

people have done it before, not an engineer but I'm sure if you google it the soulution will show up.

Use this, use this a LOT.

Anyone know good books that contain all the basic stuff to restart?

Like some sort of almanac on necessary subjects?

>>638

That's too broad of a suggestion to be contained in one book. We're going to have to rely on the knowledge of many people. Engineering and mathematics will be very important, I'd say a physics textbook in capable hands will be one of the most useful things post collapse. Some strength of materials and statics textbooks contain invaluable tables on standard structural members for construction, but experience is going to be the most useful in this situation, a lot of small scale engineering can be eyeballed by someone skilled enough, believe it or not.

In your diagram where are you getting the energy to pump the water up the hill at night?

Most ideas I've seen along this line have involved solar cells using their excess production (har har) during the day to use at night.

Anything with drm you'd need cracks for. Shit like SC2 you'd need to break into the dev's HQ and steal their server code. Of course if SHTF getting in would be easy but powering it may not be.
