With things getting a bit less crazy with pandemic-era travel, I have started traveling internationally a bit more often. Things are finally starting to get back on track except for all the craziness at the airports; but that’s another story. Since I have been spending more time in hotels and AirBNB apartments, I had to once again evaluate my personal security while traveling. One thing that I never travelled with in the past was a cold crypto wallet. But now I generally carry more than one in order to accommodate my needs.
These rented rooms and apartments usually provide a safe. But I’m always a bit weary since management and staff have keys and master combinations to get into these safes when customers forget their passcodes. I am aware that no safe is fool-proof but the goal is to create as much of a deterrent as I can; especially from prying eyes. I searched for portable safes and I came across this one from WINCENT. I liked the specs and placed my order.
The safe arrived and it was beefy; definitely not a paperweight. I plugged in the included USB-C cable and charged the lithium battery until it was full. I held down the number ‘4’ for 3 seconds and the safe turned on. I typed in the default passcode which is 1-2-3-4 and the safe opened. Inside was a zip log bag that included the user’s manual (which explains everything clearly and in detail) and a bunch of other components.
This safe has RFID so that you can enter your safe with 3 different included FOB options, without having to type in a passcode. There are 2 screws and anchors in case you want to mount your safe for a more permanent solution. There is a steel cable so that you can attach the safe to a stationary object, or even your backpack.
