  Wrap em in foil. Boom protected. But kinda moot if there’s no power.

    Get a hard copy of how to rig up solar cells for power.

      That’s my next question. If things are bad enough that the Internet is gone, what reliable source of power would survive the unknown scenario that got things that bad?

      That power source would also need to power a separate computer or smartphone that would also need to be kept protected from whatever happened.

        A cheap solar panel can be gotten off Amazon or your local tech store if you have one for around $50. More than enough to power something like this, I would imagine.

        At least while it’s sunny out.
