How to save websites and important information in the event of internet shutdown or partial internet blackout (For you preppers)

by capitan_canaidia
The internet is a powerful tool for spreading knowledge and ideas. As a society, we have become used to having the internet at our fingertips. I fear we may be at the begging of a new era where ideas, concepts, and knowledge may get harder to access. Although now it’s seems to be just news and media is being affected by Censorship, there’s no telling what may be next. The dumber a population is, the more complacent they are. Knowledge is power. So, I want to teach you how to download websites for offline use. It’s super easy and all I ask in return is that you share useful links in the comments for others to download.
I use a software written by Xavier Roche called HTTrack. All you need to do is follow the wizard and enter the url of the site you wish to download. You need to be careful, as some sites are massive. I do not recommend downloading sites with tons of dynamic content (facebook, newssites, youtube videos, etc) as this tool will scan the directories recursively. I do recommend this tool for downloading reference guides for preparedness information as well as general education that will enable you to learn and be independent of the internet in the event it goes down or is compromised. Try to use sites that are lightweight to minimize disk space. For videos, use Videater or Keepvid. If you want just one page of a site, and not the whole directory, you can use chrome to print it as a PDF if you are using windows to save space. Depending on the size of the site and your connection speed it can take some time, so start early.

  1. The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.

    Start talking, meeting, interacting locally. If the SHTF that is where you will find real friends, not virtual ones from a “like” button.

    • So what you’re suggesting is going back to the days before the ‘blue glow’ strarted coming out of the living room window and instead making lemon aid to share on the front porch with the neighbors, and maybe a little baseball at the corner field or in the back yard, and so on? YES, yes indeed.
