Before you choose

  1. Choose an accessible, secure storage place. Keep only the cash you can afford to set aside.
  2. Water-resistant and fire-resistant are limited product claims: check the manufacturer’s test standard. A pouch is not a fireproof safe.
  3. Our two-person, three-day starting example is £150 in the UK or $200 in the US. These are channel planning examples, not official minimums.
  4. A UK example split is £120 at home and £30 in the car. Consider theft and insurance limits before storing anything in a vehicle.
