I had a buddy learn the hard way that a safe is only good when you are not home.


Perps come in and put a gun to your head, you open the safe. He wishes like heck now that he would have had his stuff hidden in more creative ways. He lost about 500k in rolex's, cash and guns and thought he had them safe and secure in an extremely high dollar; high tech safe.

Part of it where my wife knows. Most of it where nobody knows but me.

The shitty reasoning in these threads is always mind blowing.

My money's in a local CU. We probably never have more than a few hundo in cash between either my wife or I, but liquid legal tender is never more than an ATM or trip to the local branch away.

We have a locked fire safe that's not very heavy, but it only has important papers like birth certificates, house paperwork and insurance info in it. I also have most of that info scanned and in an encrypted USB thumb drive in a safety deposit box just in case.

I have a case of MRE's that could easily last us a month or more with some canned goods and a few cases of water at any one time in the house. Along with a generator and enough fuel to run it for the better part of the week, we should be fine.

Do not understand cash hoarders, at all. Most likely large scale disaster event in my area is a hurricane, and we get plenty of advanced notice...AND I'm not sticking around for that scenario anyway. Shorter duration events (tornado, flooding, civil unrest) won't require huge amounts of cash.

I do take the sterling silver when I evac. It can always be liquidated, needs must.

What's the shelf life by comparison between them? MRE's have shelf lives so eventually I'll replay with something. I'm open to switching up if freeze dried lasts a big longer.

The food our company was using during Katrina was freeze dried and had a storage life of 10 years, I don't remember who made it, but from what I have seen that is typical of freeze dried. MREs I think are only a year or so under ideal storage conditions.

some claim as much as 25 to 30 years if kept very cold.

should last 10 years just being stored in a dark cool place in your house.
