So I am reading about bushcraft, food lists etc etc, what about tech? Anyone using high tech to support their prepping? A sat nav that supports OS maps for instance? I remember road angel could load memory map back in the day but am unsure of anything current.
So, what high tech essentials are you packing, and why?

Re: Tech.
My only real tech preps are powerbanks, which I use anyway when I’m out and about, I also keep a spare phone (a low end Nokia) as a backup for emergencies.

Re: Tech.
I use apps which are a form of modern tech. While I know in a grid down/communication black out this isn't helpful, as we've said before, not all emergencies will be that.
I have a brilliant Knot app called "useful knots" I have a mushroom guide, not that I feel safe enough/knowledgeable to mushroom hunt, what3words and St John ambulance apps for safety/first aid. I am looking out for other useful, free, non advert infested apps to aid in a variety of situations.
