In most part of Africa hardware wallets are not only difficult but expensive to get apart form using custodian wallets like trust wallet and metamask is there an alternative software that can help hodl Bitcoin in a flash drive. or otherwise

Because what I do using a USB flash drive is that I just put it in the File is electrum account, including password, private key, and seed phrase, even the wallets I made in metamask on the USB flash drive.
But even though I don't have hardware wallets yet, I don't just keep it in one USB flash drive, but in three USBs so that in case of loss or damage, I have another USB flash drive reserved.

Don't take it wrong, hardware wallets are incredible and much safer but along with its high security features and other stuffs to protect our most precious stored keys/passwords, means that it's already understandable that owning one of these wallets doesn't come cheap and its hefty price is somehow reasonable enough because what we are storing in it are important.

But if we don't have that much funds to afford one, anything inside our house can be used as a storage for our precious keys. The only thing we need to do is to hide it in a much safer place and away from others to reach because they may use it in other things without knowing that there's an important key stored inside.
