The entirety of Wikipedia is only like 50GB. You can literally carry it with you on a thumb drive.
It’d be hell to actually view since that’s only counting the raw text info, but you could conceivably do it. If you include things like XML and edit history, that climbs to something like 20TB. A lot, but still technically possible. Especially if you compress it (which drops it down to like 200GB) and only decompress it when you need it.
For what it’s worth, this metric is based on only the text, itself (no media), and after it’s been compressed. Wikipedia actually has an article about this:
It’s based on official military survival guides plus other updates and resources. Maybe you could try finding a downloadable Survival Guide PDF that you could hopefully use offline.
I’m not sure, not very familiar with Apple/iPhone ecosystem.
Thank you for sharing this. this looks incredibly useful and although I hope I never have to use it having it installed puts my mind slightly at ease, yknow, just in case.
I’d recommend the Survival Manual app. Your phone means nothing when the weather kills the internet. Survival Manual works offline…

Kiwix is an app that allows you to easily download and read the whole archive of wikipedia offline.
Kiwix
Know if there is an iOS equivalent? Seems like a great thing to have but my search just pulled up paid or subscription based apps
Not according to the site unfortunately. ☹️

Ah, damn. Then the phone OS preference is the next selector for human genes.
Make sure to double check the comments here, a number of other useful links are coming up…

Also, you can share apps that you have on your phone to others even without an active internet connection.
It works with the Google Play store and with F-Droid.
So if you have the survival manual on your phone you can share it with neighbor and friends after a disaster.
