What do you use for your cold storage wallet? Do you have a particular piece of hardware that you use?

Ledger Nano S, haven't set it up yet, but that's what I am going with.

I'll have to look into that. How much do they cost?

Around $100. They are a French company so they have to ship internationally, also ~ only order from the official Ledger wallet website, not ANY amazon or third party sellers - as people can tamper with them during shipping, only order from the official website - and then double check when you get it to make sure it wasn't tampered with.

I've heard the rumor about a man backing up his life savings on a wallet he purchased from a third party. And got swiped. It may be a government scare tactic. Or it's likely happened more than once.

Well if you buy from a third party, they might have already had access to vital information. Hardware wallets are safe, but if someone knew your bank pin they could cause a lot of issues, or in this case swipe your BTC.

Wouldn't want to end up being that guy.
