travel emergency preparation


I rcv'd a few notes about a suggestion I made regarding the recent Mulege hijacking and the problems the family faced due to lost paperwork...

I guess I assumed more folks do this.... I also discovered that it was a valuable tip to several nomad amigos, so at the risk of being redundant, I'll offer it again here in a thread where others might have additional suggestions to add for the good of the order

:light:

Another Idea that I've done for years:

I scan copies of my:

US Passport
Idaho Drivers License
Mexican FM-3

and a few other documents specific to my needs:

And I Email it to my own Hotmail account, where I keep it in a seperate Email folder (entitled Passports).

If I ever have an incident, I can log onto any computer with internet access and a printer.... and I have color copies of my paperwork... It isn't the original, of course, and I have never HAD to try to make way with copies, but I think I sleep better knowing they're there just in case I need them.

IF you use a small thumb drive / jump drive, you could also save scanned copies of the same to a thumb / jump drive and password protect the specific file (in case you were to have it stolen or lost...)

After reading your post I scanned everything we have, did what you said sent it to myself. That was such a great TIP, we all need to make copies, and more copies.
