      I would take a smartphone with all of wikipedia stored locally on it, and a USB solar panel or two.

        IIRC there are these really durable laptops with solar pannels built into the lid that are made specifically to bring internet to people in third world countries. They’re naturally rather underpowered but you could still put a high capacity SSD in one and it’d be less likely to break than a smartphone.
