Making your own Desiccant Packs for long-term firearm storage

Panty hose tied off, filled with crystal cat litter has worked very well for my stored ammo.

I use coffee filters filled with silica gel cat litter.

Good to see others have tried this. I will be making up some packs in the new future.

Why not a good synthetic motor oil? (for long term storage)

Not trying to

But can't you just buy silica pack on amazon for cheap and not mess with this?

Well you can buy 40 grams of silica gel on Amazon for $5.89 or buy 4 lbs for about $5.00 going my way. I don't know about you but "we want more, we want more" More is more betterer.

That's what I use. I get my panty hose from those booty boxes in the shoe department at Walmart or Meijer. You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones people are supposed to use when they try on shoes and for whatever reason don't have socks on.

Excellent! I have a remote location I'd like to store a few JIC SHTF supplies but I was worried about minimal moisture. Cheap and should do the trick.
