This might sound nuts but gold and silver might be better. It's not a perfect solution obviously but metals are a little more likely to survive a house fire than paper.

paper is flammable. gold isnt. doesn't even oxidize and would have to be like 1000C to melt, and even then, its still usable.

Yeah he ought to start converting that cash to gold. If he doesn't trust banks I can't think of a better solution than precious metals.

This is what I came to say. Honestly, if he's in the "banks are bad" mindset, he's probably open to precious metals as an alternative.
