Are we talking here of an electricial meter , volts, ohms, current etc?

Indeed I am.

Okay...I'll bite. I use one every day at work, but I'm not sure what I'll do with one when I'm crapping in a hole and eating bugs.

So tell me....why should it be in my B.O.Bag?

I never said it should be in a bug out bag.

But assuming long term survival is at stake eventually working with electronics is going to occur. either for necessity or creativity.

For instance:
Setting up a solar panel array for power.
Getting a radio to work.
Checking power of batteries.

He's not talking in your BOB.
Yes, I have a Fluk 88
You may need one for diagnostics of field communications, or vehical repairs.
Or even that solar or wind generator repair.
The list of uses are vast.
Get an anolog meter also.

I was talking to an electrical engineer this morning where I work. He's giving me a book all about the set up of a solar power system.

My first project is to try and get my xbox and TV to run off it.

Pwning noobs for the enviroment.

Those all make sence. I've seen some really cheap and really small ones, and I might just have to pack one away somewhere.

Try and get ahold of a basic electronics book too.

I'm searching for one right now.

I admit the need for books, but I think I'm covered on electronics. I tear apart and reassemble aircraft avionics all day.

Now growing food and medical information....those are some books I need!

Mt girlfriend works at Barnes & Noble. Shes always bringing me home books. An agricultural book is on the list.

We are going to grow some stuff next summer in some buckets to "get our feet wet".
