Bob Dickerson, "Me and Vic are not full timers, only about half timers, but we take everything except our property deeds with us. Never know when you may want to trade, buy or sell a vehicle or camper."
Those are reasons why I'd be kicking myself if I didn't have them along for the ride, just in case. Thank you.
Almost There, I keep my tax returns filed on-line with the accountant dude, all supporting receipts, etc are in a box still looking for a home.
Raven+Squid, I do keep many of those items you mention with me as a matter of habit. The passport, DD214 and some SS papers are just too numerous to carry unless I carry them a briefcase.... and that's not gonna fly with shorts/tennis shoes and a well worn t-shirt. If I had the right back-pack maybe...
rvpopeye, Scanner and flash drive are a good option for many items. I do have a bunch of stuff on my mobile cloud (hard drive).
TMG51, Thanks, I can make use of a safety deposit box for some items like supporting papers, receipts used for taxes. If I'm brain dead or just plain ol dead I'd let the state/federal guys figure out what's in it. I can drop by the bank once or twice a year to unload....
"Almost There" Looks like I have a workable home for one file drawer...... 3 drawers to go.
Gigi, Good idea on the gun safe. I do have a small gun safe that I might be able to through-bolt into the frame. I'll check on what a heavier duty paper size one with a decent fire rating goes for.
Wanderer, I do like the flash drive idea as you and rvpopeye have mentioned. Have either of you run into a situation that called for the original item rather than a scanned copy? I am concerned, maybe without reason, but still I'd be PO'd at myself if I were 1000 miles away and an ER or XX wanted the original, not a copy.
Keep um coming... Lots of things I haven't considered...
