BORDER WALLETS Border Wallets is a very interesting scheme taking advantage of how people’s brains work with visual memory. The tools provide a way to generate a two dimensional grid of all the possible seed words. This can be generated in a few different ways, but I would recommend that anyone who uses this tool use the deterministic generation mechanism. This ensures that in a worst case scenario if you lose your copy of the seed word grid, you can regenerate the same one if necessary...
You just need to memorize them. If you dont have that capability, write them down somewhere safe. But memory is the best place for it.

Memory it’s not my strong point! 😒

Don't you have anyone you trust? In my case it's my mother and I know she would never steal from me, maybe that can be your case too.

Gotta love that Samourai Wallet is on that list ...

Whatever your "bug out" solution is (border wallet or others), here's an idea that came to my brain, so I'll just leave it here.
Prepare in advance a transaction that moves all your coins from your various cold and hot wallets into this "bug out" wallet (I'm working under the assumption that you either leave them or want them empty to not risk seizure). Have it be already signed and ready to broadcast.
The moment you need to evacuate, just paste it into mempool.space for broadcast, grab your go-bag and leave.
The tricky part is choosing a fee that will ensure it will go through in a timely manner. You may have to periodically update the transaction based on current trends (will require re-signing, in most cases). You may have to do it anyway, if you actively use the wallet and the list of UTXOs you want to protect changes.
You can automate the part that broadcasts the transaction with a simple enough script. You can even make it into some sort of deadman's switch.

There's also EasyWallet (see this previous Stacker.news post Introducing easywallet: a simple and secure brainwallet ).
I haven't tried it, but it seems very sensible. Anyone see any issues with EasyWallet?

Naah! I wouldn't take it as a good advice. We need to memorize or put it at some safer place.
