“Preparing for a disaster can be a daunting task, and it can be difficult to know where to start. That’s why it’s important to create a plan and break down the necessary skills and equipment into different levels of preparedness. This approach helps to make the process of disaster preparedness more manageable and less overwhelming.“

According to this info which we have now about Mark John Cockerill we guess that his Radxa Zero off-road mobile computer version 2 with Debian is very robust. Good to know that the Radxa Zero is field proven by the developer:

Unfortunately Mark John Cockerill’s Radxa Zero off-road mobile Debian PC cannot be seen on this demo video

The Radxa Zero is a device, from which we are very happy about to have an instruction how to use it and shows that it works for someone who uses it for off-road application. This new instruction proofs that the old instruction worked and was developer further. It is currently the best instruction we know which uses the Radxa Zero. Since we are very interested in the Radxa Zero as well, we are very happy to know what is possible with this platform and which components work with which software.

The new version 2 has Bluetooth keyboard, touchpad and updated WIFI

• One of the biggest struggles with Debian was getting the external WIFI modules to work reliably.
• The developer found the rtl8188etv he was using was particularly bad, while it does allow you to put the WIFI into monitor mode.
• with Kali Linux (did he use Kali Linux now?) it just sucks he says having to spend 2 -3 hours recompiling the kernel to get the drivers working, only to do an update and they stop again.
• The external antenna helps with removing the need for the rtl8188etv module and solves any issues with range.
• Touch screen and on screen keyboard work
• He is looking at also upgrading the USB hub with Ethernet
