The presenter shares their revised process for handling and drying filaments, highlighting the use of a Fixdry filament dryer. A discount code for the dryer is also provided. The video references another creator, The 3D Print General, for additional insights.

This video explains that ammunition does not truly expire if stored properly, with tests suggesting longevity of up to 100 years in ideal conditions. While metal cases may discolor or corrode due to oxidation and moisture, this often does not affect functionality if the primer and powder remain dry. Proper storage in sealed containers can mitigate these issues, though cosmetic changes are common.

This video explains that ammunition does not truly expire if stored properly, emphasizing the importance of keeping it dry. While metal components like brass cases can discolor and corrode due to oxidation, this typically does not affect the functionality of the primer or powder. The speakers share personal anecdotes and cite Army testing suggesting ammunition can remain viable for up to 100 years under ideal conditions (dry, stable temperature).

This guide provides five essential tips for extending the lifespan of your ammunition stockpile. Key recommendations include storing ammo in temperature-controlled, airtight containers, utilizing desiccant packets, and implementing a 'first-in, first-out' system to ensure older ammunition is used before it degrades. Proper organization by caliber is also emphasized for safety and efficiency.

This guide provides five essential best practices for storing ammunition to ensure it lasts a lifetime. Key recommendations include maintaining a stable, temperature-controlled environment, preventing moisture ingress with airtight containers and silica gel packets, and implementing a stock rotation system (first-in, first-out) whether using original boxes or storing loose rounds. Proper storage prevents degradation of chemical composition and ensures reliability when needed.

This review covers the Afloia Top Z dehumidifier, a rechargeable unit designed to protect firearms and ammunition from moisture. The system utilizes silica gel cartridges that change color to indicate saturation and are recharged on a base unit. The reviewer highlights its effectiveness in gun safes and ammo storage areas, offering a convenient alternative to disposable packets or constantly plugged-in devices.
