And just for giggles, I have a 32GB thumb drive with my essential data backed up on my keychain.

Amazingly simple, redundant, and cheap and easy. Hard to believe, I know. Common sense ain't so common, is it?
Frankly this all sounds like a big PITA. You might think it is more efficient, but it strikes me as exceedingly less so.

There is no doubt that certain individuals will get a kick out of having setups like this, but for most of us who aren't programmers or IT guys, this is just insane. (If I'm being honest).

I was thinking more along the lines of fire, flood, etc. Fire has an interesting way of getting past encryption.
