Your strategy concerns me. I think you are in danger of obfuscating your password from yourself via an overly complex system. You need ONE strong password and effective file isolation, but changing file types etc its asking for trouble 6 months from now.

Some of you guys are realy doing do much. As somebody said before 99% of btc theft happens through malware or online wallets. If you just keep your wallet ofline and your password on some kind of external drive you're 100% safe. If you want to increase the security don't store the password just hints (for instance dog+gf+drink). Even if you somehow lose the drive, its founder won't have your addresses so he can't use it.
Why would someone encrypt the password 3 times or use file renaming and hide it among common files if he has to use it for transactions anyway and that's when it usually leaks.
I agree for the most part but I don't think you can say you're 100% safe. I wouldn't even keep it on a usb. Just make sure you don't forget it or store it somewhere else that isn't obvious. Using dog+gf+drink your friends and family will know this, and I'm sure somebody could find out this info if they were smart enough.
So what's your favourite drink?
