Pretty self explanatory. I just got my hands on a decently hardened and compact external hard drive and I'm trying to fill it with as much stuff as I can in case I permanently lose access to the internet. My country (Switzerland) has a bit of a prepper culture going on and that's my way of participating in that. So far I've got:

-> A number of .zim files (wikipedia in english, french and german, survivor library, project gutenberg, etc.) totalling 500 gb

-> Some movies that I love, totalling 200-250 gb

-> A backup of my photos and personal files, also 250 gb

What should I do with all the rest? Where should I look for it? I'm open to any and all suggestions, no matter how bleak or ridiculous they might seem.

PS: Does anyone know where to find good quality maps and phone books that I can download and view offline? I've found some ways but they're all pretty messy and involve either way too many steps, or too much time spent in the command line to be practical. Thanks!
