So do you remember the terrible earthquake and collapse that happened in Türkiye and do you think there will be any technology advanced enough to know the full extent of mother nature's fury? It seems like you are trying to blame the government for the natural disasters caused by mother nature.

As I understand what the OP is trying to say, the OP is pointing out the disadvantages when we use steel plates to store seed phrase and they are hidden in the house or backyard. That shows that every method has its drawbacks and nothing is absolutely safe.
Your bracelet looks beautiful and quite secretive, but can you guarantee that if you encounter a strong impact it will not fall out of your hand? Don't be too subjective, everything has its risks.
An earthquake is a completely different matter compared to a flood because your house can actually collapse completely. The main difference is where you live because if you have you own private house then you should still be able to find your steel plate; if you live in an apartment complex, maybe a big one, and it collapses then there would be so much debris that it becomes almost impossible to find it. Maybe a solution could be to place it inside some kind of strongbox colored/painted with some very bright color, like they do with plane's black boxes.

This sparked an idea - securing the steel plate in a heavy-duty strongbox that's bolted to your home's foundation seems like a logical next step.  That anchoring would provide some protection if the structure collapses.  And I wonder if hiding one of those tiny GPS tracking devices (like people use to monitor pets) inside the strongbox or even embedding it into the steel itself would allow the plate to be located later in the debris.  Just a couple ideas to think about.

Grin Grin Grin Too many ideas and none of them can guarantee absolute safety here. Personally, I think depending on the geographical area, weather situation, security as well as a combination of many other factors, we choose which method we think is the safest for us. We don't need to use other people's ways for ourselves when our circumstances and living environments are completely different.

Personally, I am very safe with backing up the seed phrase with a notebook and a copy saved on a USB, I have been safe with this method for many years and I will continue to use them.
