Thanks folks! I honestly had not thought about video. I am however in the process of taking photos of them all.
Yes! And even if you can't quite get to pulling everything together just yet, take five minutes and go for a walk through your house and video every room and closet. Every cabinet, drawer and the safe too if you can manage it. Even that five minute video is enormously helpful should have to pull a list together of everything.
It's also good to get in the habit of sitting down at least once a year and updating everything and reviewing your insurance coverages. Because if you're like most people, you've bought and/or sold a few guns each year, etc. It would suck to lose everything in a fire. But it would suck twice as much if you then find out you don't have enough coverage on your policy to make you whole again.
It also does you no good if your photos and records are lost in the fire too, so you need a solution for that...a backup copy in a safe deposit box, the data stored electronically on a cloud server, etc. And if you're worried about being hacked, it's easy enough to encrypt the data.
And don't even get me started on wills and living trusts!
