    The hacks on the older firmware has been extensively documented on various sites. I think they made some engineering changes beyond just the firmware this time. Your best bet would be to find an older unit that hadn’t been updated.

    I can think of a hundred reasons. I guess it depends on the circumstances. I can charge batteries directly off of my small USB rocket stove, as well as a collapsible solar rig that is enough to charge GPS, HAM radio, etc.

    Eric Beatty And of course since you will be the only one out there pillaging you will have them all. You people that want to wait and try for all your stuff free or taking it with weapons are free entertainment because the majority of you will be the 1st to die.

    Nah, I will already have 100 years worth of fire starters (those storm proof lighters I purchased). Cached away where pillagers won’t find them. The first to die will be the unprepared, the second will be those who think they can take by force, the third will be those with no training or experience, or faux training leading them to believe that can defend themselves trying to stop the ones taking by force. The only ones to survive will be those with enough sense to spend their money on practical survival equipment. Not $600 flir monoculars that nothing to look at in the dark and will not work after the batteries die.
