Storing two halves of Emergency Kit with two trusted parties

Hi all,

I'm reluctant to store my emergency kit which includes my master password with any one person or party.

Would it be safe--short of collusion--to cut the EK in half, one half holding the secret key and the other holding the master password, and then distribute two halves to two different trusted parties for safekeeping?

Does anyone have experience with such a setup?

Thanks.

    I've never done, or really considered, such an idea, but I do like the thought. "Safety" is always relative, but it does seem safer than having one person hold the whole thing. One modification to the idea that I might suggest would be to cut the kit in half vertically, instead of horizontally, such that neither party has either the entire Master Password or Secret Key.
