A fabric pouch intended to give documents and small drives a degree of protection from fire and water. HOS describes these as fire-resistant rather than fireproof: manufacturer temperature figures come from short exposure tests under controlled conditions and do not describe every real fire. Treat it as one sensible layer for irreplaceable paperwork and an offline backup drive, not as a safe.
Most households have irreplaceable paper in a drawer; giving it one protected home costs very little.
Households keeping passports, certificates, deeds and a backup drive in one findable place.
Resistance is limited and conditional; no fabric pouch protects contents under all fire conditions. It is not a substitute for an off-site copy of important data.
