Hi there. Please help me to understand how you store bitcoin on flashdrive instead of hard wallet. I'll be forever in your debt. I'm contacting you on VPN to protect both of us. Warm regards. André

Just install a Bitcoin node on whatever computer you're using. It's good to have a large storage device, but if you don't, you can prune down to whatever storage you have. The command cp /Users/(your home location)/Library/"Application Support"/bitcoin/wallets/wallet.dat /Volumes/SanDisk/ is how you copy a backup to a flash drive. With the wallet.dat file, if your computer crashes or even explodes, you just go to another computer and put that file in that directory, and your node and any bitcoin you have in it, will be restored. That drive is stipulated for a mac, for windows the location is different, I think.
