You could probably store it in your shower if you're going to use it up inside a year. Any old closet will be fine.

As long as you keep the temperature under 90, don't have 40-50 degree temperature swings over a day's period (which can cause condensation), and you store your ammo in an airtight can, it will last close enough to forever that it will only be an issue for your grandchildren.

To store ammo away in a lower humidity state, one very easy and "free" method is to wait until a cold week this winter and then leave your ammo boxes sit around for a few days (or a month) to reach the typical dry state of the air in a heated house (works great with forced air heat).
Once you shut the ammo box with a good seal, you have dry ammo sealed with low moisture air. |

Quoted: where is a good place to order ammo cans w/o getting screwed for shipping? Ammo cans are heavy, and if they aren't boxed, UPS charges a $5 extra fee to pay for the wear on their conveyer belts. Thus, you're gonna pay high shipping on them from anywhere, so you're better off finding them at a gunshow or surplus store around most any military base. -Troy |
