  1. Having all of my information, including online passwords and credit card scans in one place, even a ready to grab back pack, would totally freak me out! I think the likelihood of someone breaking in, taking the backpack and getting access to my entire identity information and online persona is by FAR bigger than an earthquake or fire. I keep different sets of information at different places for this reason and just tell my husband where they are (making a point of NOT writing it down anywhere)- but then, I live in an area with many break ins and I've had my email and eBay account hacked in the past, so I suppose your emergency scenario planning depends on what your exposure to which kinds of risks is, where and how you live.

  2. The Evernote video (2014) is a bit out-of-date now. Whilst you can sort of use Evernote, they now have their own app called Scanable which will search, focus and instantly photograph your pages and send them to Evernote itself. Works for me!

    1. Thanks for that Tim, I will update the link. I'm not an Evernote user myself.
