lopp (npub17u5…t4tp) inspired me, and the end of one of his huge machine shop research projects, to simply just instead use encryption to physically disperse many backups of my seed phrases (and output descriptors, and others notes and instructions). Plain text physical backups have too many risks (theft, fire, loss, coersion, etc)

for fun, I write my words on toilet paper, until I can (try to) memorize them, and disperse the encrypted backup files to where they need to go, then finally tear up and flush the paper copy

(side trip: from your seed phrases, use bip85 to generate easily regenerable HD passphrases for cold storage encryption (gnupg for RSA or AES). part of the reason i prefer old never ever online laptops to hardware wallets for my use case and threat model)
