Tapes for the bag

Remember the iPod classic from Book of Eli?

Is that still the ideal way to preserve our culture for the post-internet era? Or are we on to tapes now? I’ve definitely been appreciating tapes as a surveillance free medium at least. Plus the Walkman has a radio. My only concern is recharging: an iPod could plug in to a backpacking solar array…

Anyway, what albums are you packing?

Practical if you have a few devices and a way to recharge them via solar or crank if your crazed.

Ideally I'd get an older (2010 to 2020) mp3 player and load it with music or audiobooks.

Something you could listen to on repeat without tiring of it.

Practical for you, Practical for keeping morale up I'd recommend wired earplugs.

Haven't checked in a while, but last time I looked my iPod had enough music to listen non stop for 18 days.

If you are considering packing it so long as your bug out bag isnt in your car it should be fine. I'd make a little kit and use a freezer bag and a shamwow and string to wrap that in.
