Luckily I have about 5 times that many so I'll just fill all the free space with the packs to be on the safe side.
Perfect. I've got enough to protect an entire room. Anyone need some? Otherwise the extras are going in the dumpster.
You can chew them like Skoal pouches.
The look like some kind of candy, wonder if I can pass them off at Halloween?
I have one of those little non electric ones hanging up in my safe with several of those desiccant bags thrown in there as well. The bags can be reused after a short cycle in the microwave. I went to Amazon and bought a bulk pack of those desiccant bags that were 4"x5" and threw one in every ammo container I have and then threw the rest in the safe. I figure between that little dehumidifier I am pretty much covered. I also keep all my blued steel guns in Bore Stores gun socks. They are impregnated with silicone to keep the moister from getting in. I go overboard just because I am paranoid. If your safe is in the top level you really don't have to worry about it. In the winter you go around shocking people. That's static from extremely dry environment. In the summer the Air Conditioner keeps the air dry and cool. If your safe is in the basement with not air ducts and no insulation you will want to get one of those electric dehumidifiers. That's really the only time you have to be extra vigilant with your moisture control.
Still where ever it is it doesn't hurt to throw in a couple of bigger ones just for insurance.

Hadn't thought of using them in ammo cans. Guess that would work good for my storage boxes and ammo.
