USB Flash Drives for Survival

One certainty about The End Of The World As We Know It (TEOTWAWKI) is that we don’t know what will happen. We can guess, but even if we get the general scenario correct, how it affects could vary greatly.

Digital information is highly portable, and no matter what happens, some computers or smart phones and power supplies should survive (unless an EMP is set off).

With a portable flash drive you can store items like:

• first aid guides
• copies of birth certificates, land titles etc
• backups of anything digital you have created, like that novel you are working on
• treasured photos and videos

and so on… so why wouldn’t you use an indestructible USB drive that only costs $20?

Flash Survivor® Stealth 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive

• anodized, aircraft-grade aluminum housing
• waterproof to 200 meters
• vibration-resistant
• shock-resistant

It is a great idea for local disasters as well, like if your house burns down, you get burgled or you get trapped overseas. Back up your important computer folder onto the flash drive and keep it with you.

If your information needs to be secure, consider paying more and getting an IronKey, Kanguru or a Datashur.

Or the LaCie RuggedKey which seems to have the best overall specs, including being 100-meter drop-resistant.
