Recently helped my sibling restore their Trezor, which had simply stopped working, from the backup codes. It was a great exercise to go through.
It has me thinking about how to best secure my family’s coin.
Trezor has always worked well for me for cold storage, but I’m curious if anyone on here has any gripes with them or recommendations for other cold storage options.

Any device can fail, so you should always have a steel backup of your seed phrase stored in a separate location. I like ColdCard, personally, for my hardware wallet, but there are plenty of good options out there. Jade, BitBox, Foundation's Passport... Everyone has reasons why they like one over the other. Important thing is get one that is Bitcoin only to minimize the attack surface. Get it directly from the manufacturer's website.
The point of steel being that it would survive a fire?
“Important thing is get one that is Bitcoin only to minimize the attack surface.”
Hadn’t thought of it that way, but very true. My Trezor supports a bunch of random coins. Probably should look into switching, thanks.
foundation passport and seedsigner are good choices
