Kit list
Document vault checklist
Tick each document once you know where the original is and a scan is stored securely. Write where things are, never the account or ID numbers themselves: a list of numbers is exactly what a thief wants.
Where it lives: a fire and water resistant box at home, with a one page list of what is where. The reasons behind each item are in where to keep important documents; every skill is on the master list, and the guides show where each kit fits.
