Honestly even lamination isn’t great. Won’t survive a fire.
Best options I’ve seen are engraving your seed into metal, and/or putting multiple copies in trusted locations like family houses or safety deposit boxes.
How come everyone is forgetting the best practices in Bitcoin backup?
You put the stuff in a container, put it in a hole in your yard, and put a birdbath on top of it.
The birdbath is a crucial security step! Standard practice! Been that way for years! I frankly can't believe a lot more people don't know about it.
Last time I tried to engrave my seed on metal I got kicked out of the park.
In retrospect, the monkey bars were a poor choice for metal.
