Moisture absorbing crystals

Here's an opportunity, I happen to have for sale a Pelican case, big bastard, it's air tight, dust tight and water tight, special valve so you can open it again after high altitude work.
They really are a great piece of gear for anyone who wants to look after their cameras or instruments.
I am putting it on Ebay soon but if any is interested give me a hoi, I am am looking at around the $250 mark.
I used to house 2-6x6 cameras, flash gear, 4 lenses and assorted accessories in it.
They are almost bullet proof.

Yes, but if you read the fine print, they are not warranted against attack by polar bears or 3 year old children.

Have a look in your local pet shop - some of the newer forms of kitty litter are sillica gel crystals. The bags have mostly white crystals with the occasional blue crystal.

At $4.50 for four kilos, its not a bad way to buy sillica gel. To reactivate it, (when the blue crystals go pink) toss it in the oven at about 150 degrees.

Just try and keep kitty out of the box though, lol.

Its a two birds with one stone solution - the silica gel keeps the tools dry, and the kitty deposits keep the would-be tool borrowers away!
