Sorry for that short answer -

Actually, I have seven of them. Not only do I have FR info on it, but I have most important papers on there too. Medical Records, Taxes, Titles, Deeds, Birth Certificates, Baptismal Records, adoption papers, Social Security info, family pictures, insurance pictures, software to read all these files. All of the files have been zipped with double passwords. I keep one in with each of the grab packs, one on each key ring and one in the safe - the other two I have inside jars, stashed where I could find them if necessary.

I try to keep all of them synchronized with same data on all of them. (sometimes it may go about a month before I update the stashed ones)

I use the Corsair Flash Survivor GT 8GB - they are rugged and water resistant to 600 meters (almost 2,000 feet). So far, 8GB is just under half used.

Geesh, am I getting that old?

Starting to repeat myself...

Great ideas - I see I have some scanning in my future. A lot of scanning! ;)

I wish I had that expertise. It taxes my electronic knowledge just to turn on my computer. Hubby has an extensive coin and gun collection and I have some family heirlooms (probably worthless to many, but priceless to me) that I have always thought I should somehow catalog for insurance purposes. at my age, medical records are on computers everywhere (hospitals, doctors, walk-in clinics, etc.) but taxes, titles, deeds, and all the other things you mentioned really should be safely stored. Maybe I can get some of my savvy grandchildren to help me. I just hesitate to share some of my personal info right now.

Anyway, thanks for an important post.
