Nice vid. I’m gradually working on long term storage. Good points about theft and finger prints. Lord forbid your house is broken into, a crime is committed & your employer that has your fingerprints in a national database

[@apexsurvivalgear2236]

Thanks for your kind words. Yeah I had a bad theft a few years ago, had 200rds of 9mm stolen and 8 pistols. Unless I'm on the range shooting I'm wearing gloves.

[@mrdelaware8]

I like keeping 9mm in the box. You can fit 1500 rounds in a 50 cal can unless you're using those big ass Blazer boxes lol

[@donwyoming1936]

Keep all ammo in the original boxes. It's just common sense.

🇦🇺😎👍

[@jr.knight3600]

Yeah man the gloves are great for this. I don't touch my long term ammo without gloves!

[@apexsurvivalgear2236]

Yeah, it wouldn't ruin it but I don't like to touch it.

Keep your ammo near the dehumidifier.

[@apexsurvivalgear2236]

Yes!!! Especially living in the SE US, a dehumidifier can pull 1 gallon of water out the air in a 8-10 hours.

[@donwyoming1936]

I live in NC. Have tens of thousands of rounds just sitting on shelves in my gun room. Some has been there 25 years. Nothing. No corrosion. Nada. I had a swamp cooler for an air conditioner in New Mexico. Now that, really put the hurt on everything. Left my ammo out in the garage. Too humid in the house. Haha

[@mikem.2078]

Many helpful pointers, I can tell you put work into this. Will have to check your other vids. What was the blue trays called, mtm? My silica gel beads turned purple! I wonder what that means.

[@apexsurvivalgear2236]

Thanks Mike, and yes they are MTM. They have many really cool products for ammo storage. Lol if it's purple you Wana find where that moisture is coming from.

[@MunkyWrench]

Silicon packs of any kind are a waste of money and time.. a sealed ammo can it a sealed can.. the rubber o-ring keeps moisture out PERIOD .. so the tiny bit of air in the can is not enough to cause wet issues.. and using an oven for 3 hours to re-use those silica packs costs too much money the average oven cost $3 to $4 per hour to use .. $12 to $16 to revitalize something you don't need in the 1st place is a total waste of money and time.. in my oppinnion

[@apexsurvivalgear2236]

I value and respect your opinion and you're not totally wrong about silica but I'm still using it.

[@Jrh-rp7np]

fluctuating air temperature can still cause moisture and those seals can go bad even the most minor little crack that u can’t even see let’s in moisture..,,especially if you lose power in a bad storm in the summer for 3 days and it gets humid inside your house… you can get piles of silicon for cheap,, and ammo is expensive be safe not sorry…

[@donwyoming1936]

Wow. You are one paranoid Dude. 🤠

[@apexsurvivalgear2236]

Lol a bit of paranoia is healthy

[@jr.knight3600]

I don't keep my mags loaded all the time, wears out the springs, just my opinion.

[@apexsurvivalgear2236]

Cheaper and older mags can wear out but most modern magazines can stay loaded and be totally fine.
