I didn't read all 6 pages of this tread.
I don't often camp where I have to worry about hiding money. But, if I did I would pull up the insole of my shoe and put some under there. That is what I do when I go to concerts / Air Shows etc. This is where in those cases I hide my only credit card too.
Don't know about passports. I may visit Canada this year and if I do it would be the first time I've left the country. I would probably leave it hidden in my pickup truck. With the truck I have now it has a console with a cup holder built in. If you pry on it with a screw driver the cup holder will pop up out of place. Then there is plenty of room underneath of it to hide things.
I do carry some cash. I forgot the PIN number to my credit card years ago. I write checks out to places that still take them. I know,, I know,,, someone is going to tell me checks are not secure. I asked my local banker about that and he said he couldn't remember the last time they had a case of check fraud. Debit card fraud they have all the time though. He told me to keep writing checks as long as I can find places that will take them.
Someone mentioned buying a 5 dollar hamburger with a credit card. Some of the local fast food places will not take credit cards. To big of a hassle for them. Obviously the major chains often will. The local Subway Sandwich shop will not though, surprisingly enough.
