Your 24 word seed phrase, each word will be one of these 2048 words listed in BIP39:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt

Look up each of your "REAL" words in the list above, and write down the next "FAKE" word that comes AFTER each real word  (or what ever formula you choose that to easily calculate to the real word).  You will now have a list of 24 fake words.  Carry multiple copies of this fake 24 word list with you.  ALSO, password protect (or not, but less secure) your fake list file and email it to yourself, and post it elsewhere/everywhere on the internet.

When you get to your destination, just download the BIP39 word list, then substitute the fake words for the real words, reversing of course what ever formula you used.

The above is a completely secure, easy to use method, allowing you to either carry, or, not to carry anything physical with you.  You could wash up on the shore naked anywhere that has an internet connection, and re-get full access to your bitcoins.
