You should do a “fire drill” on your self-custodied bitcoin about once a year IMO
Check you still have your backups
Check you haven’t forgotten your HWW PIN or passphrase (especially if you’re just stacking, never spending)
Check you can actually restore backups (a bit expensive as you need a spare HWW to wipe and restore onto, but definitely worth it if you have 1BTC+)
#Bitcoin security is not one & done.
revisit & upgrade & threat model your setup often
