    humidity

    I think I like the tupperware idea as my stuff is all in a basement that is not as dry as I would prefer.

    Have a dehumidifier working 24/7 but would probably be wise to keep as much as possible in containers with a lid and one of those little packs that absorb moisture; the term escapes me...
    "Why "zombies"? Because calling it 'training to stop a rioting, starving, panicking, desperate mob after a complete governmental financial collapse apocalypse' is just too wordy." or in light of current events: training to stop a rioting, looting, molotov cocktail throwing, skinny jeans wearing, uneducated bunch of lemmings duped by, or working directly for, a marxist organization attempting to tear down America while hiding behind a race-based name

    I use Tupperware type containers as well to store brass. I believe you are referring to the small silica gel desicant packs. I keep a small one of those in with my dies and it works well. haven't had any rust issues. Usually run the dehumidifier for a few hours every other day this time of year and it definitely works. The air in the room stays pretty dry.

    You're welcome. It seems like almost any package you get shipped to your house these days has one or two small ones in it. That's where I get mine anyway.
