I copy to some other form of storage (normally my laptop - I put a 500GB
drive in it just for that reason) as soon as possible; I try to upload
every evening.  But I never re-use the SD cards until I've got a second
copy (currently on a portable 250GB USB-powered drive, which comes with
me in my camera case).

Of course I never travel so light that having a computer and pelican 1410
would be a problem.  But if I did I'd definitely try to find some way of
making a copy ASAP - I get nervous when I've only got a (potential) image
in one place. The ease of doing that is one of the nice things about the
digital age.
