lots of portabe and self powered hard drives.

like rodi says, if you have portable hard drives, you can edit anywhere you go and not worry about taking the stuff with you.

I tend to carry a laptop in my vehicle (hidden of course and old and not worth much) which i back stuff up to almost immediatly, then when i get home, i import onto my PC. that way if anything goes wrong, i still have the files.

I will delete them off the laptop at a later date after verifying all files are uncorrupted, then i start my editing process and then will back everything up on an external hard drive.

this sounds over complicated, but it's really just hooking up the camera to two different devices as a safety. I'm forgetfull and i've formatted a card before without backing it up, and that's not fun, luckily it was all goofing around and nothing serious. This is why the laptop that follows me around.
