Ooh. Interesting. I do have a spare laptop. If I download electrum and then disconnect from internet, it will still produce addresses… and remain offline…. I like that idea

It is a poor-man's hardware wallet. If you have your choice of wallet software, I recommend Sparrow or Nunchuck. You can generate a bip39 compliant seed phrase and later restore the wallet on dedicated hardware, like a ColdCard, BitBox or Jade. Once ypuve confirmed the wallet has been properly restored to the hardware wallet, you can then just wipe the laptop

Or just slam the seed phrase into steel, test the restore from the steel seed phrase, wipe the hardware, and keep it super super cold with no hardware wallet.

Ypu can make a cheap steel seed phrase storage option with steel washers, a letter stamp kit, and a hammer. All these things can be acquired at a hardware store like Do It Best or Harbor Freight

Get a bolt ans a wingnut to keep the washers together.
