Personally, I would not store any personal or important info on the internet. If a "SHTF" scenario ever does happen the web could be down or at least connection access to it.
When it did/does come back up (the net) hackers could have a field day with all the personal or important data stored there. Who knows for sure that everything would be secure when it came back up?!

How do you know that it will be secure for sure?

I have 2 close friends and 1 family member that have had their identities stolen sending personal info over the web.

We have a:
1.) 1 - 1.5TB Sea Gate external hard drive that houses all of the raw video we shoot and all pictures we take.
2.) 4 - 16GB Flash drives we plug into our video cam that we can record video directly onto.
3.) 2 - 8GB Flash drives for misc. storage

I've been thinking about printing out a lot of the documentation that everyone has been sharing, placing that in a 3 ring binder and tossing that in the bag as well. A sample of recipes, ways to make soap, how to make cordage, etc. It might be handy info if I found myself in a bad situation."
This is an excellent idea! :thumbup:
