You wont have any trouble with water or fire. All you need more is a safe place to hide it. It isn't that big so you could hide it anywhere you want.

I would not say no problem with fire.  It seems that if a long fire hits it that metal might have some issues.  It looks like a slim card like metal slab.

So I would predict at a certain point it would burn/char.  But yes it's better then a piece of paper for sure.

I have a simple paper wallet hidden in my backyard in my secret box.
I couldn't find any other safe location then this.

Hide it on your person. The best spot is in plain sight.

Fail-safe in a safe.
Another options is simply to invest in a heavy duty safe that proclaims its presence with the confidence that it won't be compromised by anyone or anything. A steel or cast iron floor safe can cost anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, but when it comes to security, you do get what you pay for. Find one that can be bolted firmly to the floor, heavy enough to deter easy lifting, and with a series of locks, combinations or, if applicable, one linked to a home alarm system.

I am searching for a good place to hide my paper wallet
i don't want any one to see it or try to scan the QR code
please don't give me silly places, I really want to hide it in secure place

I didn't use paper based wallet because im the type of person who could easily lost his items
But if i were you i would put the paper on my wallet, safe and secure unless a thief stole your wallet
If you want more security you can always order a small safe box and store it inside there
Or maybe rent a deposit box on a bank and put your wallet there

Yea putting it in your wallet is not recommend.  Just to many people can get it taken and not even know till they need it next.  Which could be enough time to drain the account depending on thief and how BTC savy they are.

Salty deposit box is hard to beat.  It has bank level security.... so  better then even protected homes.  But it does cost monthly or some sort of fee.

I`d say keep all your precious stuff in a metal box.

If the house catches fire, you grab it and run out. Or just leave it there, since it wont burn down like the rest of the house.

I would recommend youtube videos (how to hide something, secret stash, secret compartment etc.). You will find solution best suited for you because there are so many videos like this.

One strategy I have employed for paper wallets is this:

• Print key/qrcode/whatever
• Fold paper a few times so you can't see the info through the paper
• Put the folded paper in a envelope
• Laminate the envelope (water barrier)
• Put laminated paper in a fireproof chest (fire barrier 1)
• Put fireproof chest in fireproof safe (fire barrier 2)

Note: fireproof/waterproof chests are notorious for holding in moisture.  If you do not laminate your paper backup you risk moldy paper.  Either open your chest often to exchange air or use moisture absorbing tools.

Well I could give you specific suggestions, but then I might be revealing where I tend to hide things, so instead I'll leave you with this: where is the least likely place someone would look for something valuable?  Hide it there.  Know where thieves would look (under the bed/matteress, underwear drawer, etc. etc.) and don't use a spot like that.  Know where the police look (inside fireplace/wood burning stove, in couch cushions, in filing cabinet, etc. etc.) and don't use a spot like that.

Get creative, pretend you broke into your house, where would you look for stuff?  Don't put it in any of those places.

Safety deposit boxes are good, but if the bank locks you out or a huge earthquake levels the building you're out of luck.  Better is a lock box buried down several feet at a location only you know. https://youtu.be/VZWX2Q6UaAU?t=1m46s

Yes. The best place to hide are the more open places where thieves are not likely to look. You can disguise it somehow. The kitchen is also one of the best places as thieves rarely venture to look in your kitchen cupboards or cabinets. Try using a place where you rarely go.

a good hiding place maybe first put inside a leak proof lunch box like lock & lock, then place inside a fire proof safe like sentry, so no matter what happen (flood, fire, theft) , coins is safe

i think buying a fireprofe safe will cost him alot better just get a locker at your bank for rent a small size locker can do the trick and also alot safer then your home get the paper laminate it and put it into a locker if you have good ammount in it

Some metals do melt after being in high temperatures for a long time. That titanium wallet isn't the best solution. It is so small and you probably will have a hard time finding it from all the rubble and things could have melted and tainted it, making the characters and QR code hard to decipher.

The metal card in a fire-retardant safe would not be a bad bet and fairly easy to find. Otherwise, i'm not sure. The card would not melt but the ink on it would and the metal would be dark and singed, so possibly erasing the information on it one way or another?

Regardless, i think you should engrave a very valuable key on metal, and then put it somewhere fire cant really destroy it, like in a safe or in the basement somewhere fire can't get around.
