agree 100%. Hardware wallets are essential, if you don't maintain your crypto in your possession, it can be lost, confiscated, or hacked.
Ledger Nano S or X, are great options, and hardware wallets are very easy to set up. Plug into your PC, record the seed (12 or 24-word password) on a piece of paper. Never take a photo of it, or type it into your computer. Save it somewhere safe and you will never lose your crypto. As long as you have that seed pass phrase you can recover your crypto even if your Ledger is damaged or lost. Your crypto is actually stored on the blockchain and not in the Ledger wallet. If you lose your passphrase but still have your Leger and the local passcode you can open your wallet and transfer your cryto to a new wallet where you have your passphrase.
IN summary, hardware wallets offer some redundancy to avoid losing your crypto. Keep your passphrase safe and available you will never lose anything. Lose your passphrase and your wallet... then your toast.
