Highlights
The host introduces the Prepper Disc, a product sent by Adam from Prepper Disc, an American company. He explains his intention to incorporate more prepping-related content into his channel, focusing on essential items for future scenarios without being extreme.
The reviewer unboxes the 512GB Prepper Disc, which comes with a Faraday bag and a 10,000 mAh backup battery. Other included items are a case, an instruction pamphlet, and a pen. He mentions that smaller memory options are available and states he will link specifications in the description.
The Prepper Disc functions as a local server, accessible via Wi-Fi from phones, tablets, or laptops, even without internet access. It can support up to 20 devices on the upgraded version and contains a vast amount of information, including Wikipedia, the Gutenberg Project, medical manuals, military guides, and FEMA resources. The host notes its open-source nature and the ability to expand storage.
The device is presented as crucial for emergencies when internet or power is down, especially for families with kids who might get bored. It can host games and educational programs, including a homeschooling module from Khan Academy. The device features a 3.5mm jack, mini HDMI, USB-C, four USB ports, and an RJ45 port, along with a built-in fan.
The reviewer demonstrates connecting his Sonim XP8800 phone (also a prepping-focused device) to the Prepper Disc's local server. He explains the connection process, which involves entering a specific IP address (10.10.10.10). He then showcases the interface and some of the available content, including Ready.gov, English Wikipedia, World Maps, Medical Wiki, Project Gutenberg, survival guides, repair manuals, TED Talks (including a clip from Al Roker), and solitaire.
The host mentions that information on the Prepper Disc is periodically updated for free. He highlights its utility beyond emergencies, specifically for camping trips without internet access, as it can act as a media reader for preloaded movies. He reiterates the importance of the correct IP address and mentions the product's price: $199, on sale for $189, with an additional $27 for the Faraday bag and backup battery bundle.
The reviewer expresses gratitude to Adam from Prepper Disc for sending the product, praising its informative content and quick delivery. He concludes by changing his YouTube channel name from New Heights Horizon to High Point Radio and maintaining the slogan 'Height is Might,' promising future videos on FRS radios.
