There was a thread...somewhere here...and somebody mentioned about keeping a USB flash/jump drive with important doc's in it...IMHO, this is a GREAT idea. I have spent the last few days gathering various inportant papers to scan and add to the "Master Data List" as I call it. I'm trying to list all that I've come up with so far...anybody think of other things that should be included?
So far for my family...
list of "what's on this" jump drive
scans of...(front and back if applicable)
all credit cards
SS cards
birth certificates
drivers license's
medical records-many are available on CD from hospitals/Dr's...other paper copies are scanned if important...I even have ultrasound images from my gallstone...
medical insurance cards
CW permits
homeowners insurance
vehicle insurance
health/life/other insurance
banking information
internet/email/websites passwords & logins
PDF maps of the world, the USA, my state, county, and all surrounding counties
PDF terrain maps
GPS data for many locations I've been to
PDF files/manuals/diagrams on as many of my firearms as possible...so far I've found all online with no problems
PDF owners manuals on all com gear/FRS radios in BOB
serial #'s for firearms, tools and PC equipment
a typed "contact" list with name/address/phone/email of everybody
many field medical files..."where there is no doctor/dentist/womans doctor...etc
common Rx dosage/admin info
many "TEOTWAWKI" doc's/PDF's...from NBC to EMP to digging water wells
radio frequencies for national/state/local
a short video walkthrough of house/contents
marriage license (wife insisted I add that...
)
my reloading data files
a couple hundred "through the years" pictures
vet records for pets
food storage data for BIL/BOL
contact lens / glasses Rx data
electric/cable/phone bill account info
So far, I've used about 5 gig of an 8 gig jump drive. All data is encrypted with truecrypt. What else would you put in it?
