I agree with the dessicant... although I have recommended rice in the past... lots of people have brought there cell phojne back from a plunge in the toilet using rice... I have an air tight , water proof and fire proof safe... I keep all of my camera gear in it... when I bought the safe I bought rechargeable desicant canisters from Amazon... they change color when they are moisture packed.. you then put them in a toaster oven for a few hours @ 200 F and the color changes back.. they are innexpensice.. I use them in my camera safe and in my two gun safes.. they seem to last about a month... IM not exactly sure why they recommend that I leave the safes open for a few hours once a month , but I think this would help to introduce more mosture into the safes... the desicant does work... I think it might be possible to use a warm hair dryer also to speed up the drying process.. Just some suggestions .. the desicant will indeed suck the moisture out of the gear.

I'll check into the desiccant, but in the meantime I think I'll keep using the dryer on very low while I'm at home and the rice when I'm not available to keep turning the dryer on.  BTW, I have been looking for a safe that is rated for more than one hour, is yours?  If so, what kind is it?

Thanks, Angie
