There have been some awesome posts with links to videos lately.

You may want to save some of them in your personal library, whether iTunes or just a folder on the computer.
This is a good idea for when the power/internet is out, for a SHTF scenario, or if you are going off-grid.
An iPad, Android Tablet, or laptop can be charged from the car or solar panels and runs a long time when the battery is full.

I use a Mac and ClickToFlash lets me save the files.
There are a ton of ways to do this on Windows too.

Might not be a bad idea to get some downloaded and burned the files to a DVD so we have them long term.

I also use a Firefox browser add-on called Freecorder that allows you to save most (some websites protect their videos) to your hard disk. So, if you watch a video and want to save it, just push a button and tell it to save. It also allows you to "download" videos from YouTube, without watching it first.
