I shoot steel cased ammo a lot so it helps to keep the moisture down.
Had a 50 cal can with 7.62x39 and 2 dessicant packets stored for three years. They looked as fresh as the day I packed them.
As for your bug out bag, I also tried that.. And with a few types of dessicant packets..
They've all torn in my pack and made a huge mess. Over time your gear rubs against them. Be it plastic, paper or cloth type dessicant packs, they all tore. I bet there are options or ideas to better preserve the packs so they dont get torn up, perhaps duct tape or a plastic case/cage.
I threw in 1 packet per compartment after finding surface rust on a few tools inside of my BOB.
I recall reading somewhere you can buy silica gel in 5 lb packs at Michael's or similar in their floral stuff - guess they use it for drying flowers. Not sure if its a deal but you could make your own dessicant packs to suit your needs that way.
I read on a post that a type of cat litter has silica gel. He said put some in an old sock and it works great in your safe.I recall reading somewhere you can buy silica gel in 5 lb packs at Michael's or similar in their floral stuff - guess they use it for drying flowers.
