[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 822590, member: 53455"] Right. When not using it, I store all my gear in a large safe (a gun safe, originally, so quite tall for rifles and roomy) with three bags of German-made Pingi XL dessicant. I find them on Amazon, and you can probably, too. The little pinguins on ’em turn brownish when they’re full of humidity, then you put them in the microwave for a few minutes, let them dry out in the kitchen, and when the pinguins are blue again, they’re like new and can go right back in the safe. "Re-charge" them like this maybe 2-3 times a year, more if you live in a very humid place (read: Eastern seaboard of the US... ;) ). Add to that an absurdly cheap hygrometer (to be found on Amazon as well) that will tell you how humid it is in the enclosure where you keep your gear, and you're good to go. [/QUOTE]
