How do you handle long term bitcoin storage: hardware wallet, multisig, or custodian?

Curious how people actually secure their stack beyond the usual advice. What's your setup and what mistakes did you learn from?

Passphrase on top of seed, but write down how to use it, haha.

Custodian for a small part, self custody for the rest.

Not financial advice but test with small amounts first always.

Mistake: I once stored the seed photo in cloud notes. Never again.

Hardware wallet plus a metal seed backup in two locations. Simple and boring.

2-of-3 multisig with different vendors. Setup was painful but I sleep fine.

Did you test recovery? Everyone skips that step.
