Don, good point about the ammo boxes. I will see if I can acquire any
(I have a few small .50 cal boxes, but not nearly enough and I need
bigger size).

Meanwhile, heeding the warnings, I will monitor the condition of stuff
in the plastic totes. I put relatively big bags of desiccant there,
and a little moisture indicating strip in each, as well. If I see the
strips change color to pink, or the bags getting heavier, I will treat
that as an urgent matter.

20 mm boxes, are about optimum for storage of bulk items.

I looked at them, they are too small for me.

Keep an eye out for 45 gallon size parts cans from your surplus sources.

Usually a rubber donut seal, and a lever operated ring clamp to hold
the lid on.

Airtight, reliable, and spacious storage.

A couple dessicant packs into one of those, and your moisture issues
are done.

Or you could find a couple engine cans (aircraft engines, tank
engines, etc). :-) Not real convienient to get open, though. But they
usually have a vaccuum guage on them to see if they have been leaking.
