Yes.



Nope. Not a bad idea.

I was thinking paper degrades so if you want to keep them for reference or to teach in the future keeping them safe in airtight containers would be the safe way.

Don't worry Skully, I'm not relying on electronic devices. I have a lot of stuff printed and have books as well. Heirloom seeds too. You can help grow and protect the food. We live close enough .

If push came to shove and I needed to print more out, I could rather quickly using various alternative power sources to keep my computer and printer working for a while, but I think the real key is to read the stuff ahead of time and try to learn as many functional skills now, as possible.

Yeah you mentioned Kindle and thought, hmmmmmm until it got fried or something. I like the library idea, yes reading and learning things now is good, but I always reference materials if it has been awhile. I have always been a jack of all trades, learn fast. I like to take things apart, read and study them until I am comfortable with the knowledge.

You and I are a lot alike in this regard as well.

Most towns still have libraries, a short trip to one can get you started. Think of something that you have said " If i had a few extra hours a week i would like to learn" The start reading.
