"Must-have" Prepper App!
play.google.com ^ | Nov 27. 2013 | by Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 11/27/2013 4:38:15 AM PST by Lazamataz

I was directed to a very useful app for the Prepper community. It's name is Canary, and it is useful in that it allows an alert Prepper to see if the system is in a collapse- or free-fall situation.

It tracks the following items:

It looks reasonably useful. I am in contact with the author and have suggested a Google Maps traffic road-load option. Google Maps does a good job with that, and it would be good to have online maps available anyways, just in case the grid stays up for a while.

This is a worthwhile endeavor. I cannot test it personally since I do not have a Smart Phone. I decided some time back, the dumber the phone, the better I like it. I have a simple $4.00 clamshell that I would think nothing of chucking into a river if I needed to.

But for those who like more expensive phones, this is something quite useful.

Does the app include a “Tinfoil Hat Alert?”

You don't have to be a Tinfoiler to know which way the winds blow.

Apologies to Bob Dylan.

Yes. Perhaps the author will port it to other platforms.
