I’m kinda ready to start self custody , ‘kinda’ being I understand not my keys not my car.. I have #bitcoin on a number of different wallets nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq etc & want to now move most over into self storage. My question is what’s a good first step for me , nothing to technically taxing but safe and secure from theft/skanks and prying eyes? Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🤝🫂💜

There's no one fits all answer here. Maybe start with a non-custodial app like Samourai, Nunchuk, or Bluewallet and upgrade to cold storage from there. And for lightning wallets I like Phoenix and Zeus the best but Blixt and Breez are also great options.
Depends on the amount. If you are saying it's on lightning wallets I am assuming it's not some vast sum of BTC. So just download a wallet like Exodus that's does BTC and lightning. Transfer your lightning funds to it and convert it to BTC mainchain. Write down your seed phrase and store it in an appropriate fashion. Just never write it on a electronic device ever because that's how people get 'hacked'.
