The US issue metal cans have a better seal than the made in china Harbor Freight or Cabela's plastic boxes. If your seal is good, one oxygen absorber is all you need.
You can buy 100 500cc Oxygen Absorbers for $20. I have them for sealing food in mylar bags. |

You need "moisture absorbers" as in silica gel or oven restorable clay type packs. |

I usually buy in bulk, and split the cost and contents amongst a few friends.
Uline offers various sizes, IE for "X" cubic feet containers use this size. https://www.uline.com/Grp_21/Desiccants For small count packs.. Amazon. And just use some for the first few months, then replace them with new ones. That should cover any issues. On a side note... make sure the plastic containers are remaining sealed if you are stacking them. |

I use these. $11 for a 50 pack.
Amazon Dry and Dry desiccant packs I throw 5 in each ammo can and change them 1 time per year. Non salty ammo cans tend to have good seals, these aren't really needed but it is cheap insurance. |

In your experience do they arrive ready to go or do they need to be recharged from the get go? |

I just toss in the absorbers from vitamins, packages, and whatever else they come in. You'd be amazed how many of those you run across in a week.
