Default Log books in the plane on a long trip?

I'm going on a 2 week cross country with my plane and had a thought
that if I need any work done during the trip I should have my logs with
me.

I normally keep them at home but maybe being far from home like this I
should have them with me. I like them safe at home, but I think this
situation has to be an exception. Agree?

Absolutely not. The risk/reward ratio is far too low. Nothing says that
you have to have the work in your permanent logbook; a piece of paper with
the work accomplished and the mechanic's signature can certainly be stapled
to the rear cover of the logbook along with your notation when you get back
home that there was this and that work done, date, work order, and a
reference to look at the last page of the logbook.

Leave the logs at home. The only time I EVER take my logs out is during
annual. Normal work during the year can be done by getting a sticker
from the A&P and putting that in the logs when you get home. If you let
an A&P see your logs, he'll charge you for several hours of labor to
read the entire logs. Only during an annual does the mechanic have a
reason to look at your logs.

alternatively you can buy yourself a cheap usb scanner (what do they
go for these days? US$80.- at most) and spend a few hours scanning
your stuff (I found that at 300 dpi grayscale, I got a pretty good
ratio quality/storage space -- incredible the amount of things you
can stuff this way onto a CD-R); now you can even improve the idea by
encrypting the info before burning it into the CD (I also scan other
papers, e.g., certificates, passport, etc.) and you are all
set for far less than what any company might charge you...

I picked up a new HP scanner on Ebay for ~$15.
