What you are looking for is called a book. It does not need power or internet, just light to read. The SAS Survival Handbook is good for all around advice.

Books are important and very useful. But I don't carry them all with me like I do with a phone.

Wow the SAS survival handbook has built in GPS and a map of my local area? Damn, books have gotten fancy lately.

Its your local area, why do you need a gps map?

Well, the most likely natural disaster here will involve my immediate local area being under about 5 meter of water, so either I'm elsewhere and in need of a map, or... well, not in need of a map.

You are in need of a nautical map of your local area then.

That's great for an emergency kit but you never know when something will happen and if you'll be in a position to get back to your kit. Seems pretty worth.
