Personal Documents

Should you keep copies of personal documents in your B.O.B.? Birth certificates, social security, license, etc...? What if there is a nuclear war? Mass destruction? Bio-warfare?

 

But once the dust settles and they start to rebuild society you don't think it would be important? I go back and forth. I think i should have them but if my B.O.B. ever gets stolen then i have to worry about identity theft.

 

I keep all my document in a hidden lock box that i can easily grab in an energency. I guess ill keep them there.

 

My documents and such is in a fireproof box inside a big steel gun safe. I also keep the paper cash in that too. Since I am bugging in if they get to that then that means that I don't care anymore because I'll be dead. I have considered having them copied and miniaturized but what would it matter?

 

If your just being prepared, probably wouldn't hurt to have copies. Maybe stored in a couple hidden cashes.

 

Chance favors the prepared mind.
Not knowing if, when or what kind of event we may face, prudence suggests a small chore like duplicating & safely storing a few documents could be beneficial down the road.

 

I don't have any known enemies. Least I hope not. So I generally don't worry about who knows who I am. Save one. Big brother. My initial concern ( & still remains one) when I applied for CCDW permit. I always want to be perfectly legal, so I have the permit. Knowing full well that one day it's possible Big brother may knock on my door because I have that very permit.
I heard someone say once " Paranoia is merely self preservation measured on a very fine scale."
Chew on that for a while my friends

 

There are many levels of disaster. I would recommend scanning images of all those personal documents and keeping them on a thumb drive--possibly an encrypted thumb drive. I'd also keep insurance documents and a home inventory up in the cloud. Finally, I'd recommend keeping all those important personal documents in a "fireproof" lock box or safe at home. In a disaster, you could take one or both if you need to evacuate.

 

I do keep them in a locked , fireproof safe. But scanming them to a thumb rive is a great idea.
