Siicate Packates for HVX Storage Case

[mb72378]

I read in a post that it is a good idea to keep silicate packets in the case with your camera to try and cut down on th moisture that it is exposed to. I was wondering, about how many packets is necessary for a Pelican 1610, and also where can you get these packets? Any other ideas?

I just get them shipped with other stuff. If you wanted to buy something specifically for the camera, you could try:

or this is reusable:

I'm not really sure of the quantity that's most effective, but too many won't cause any extra problems (except static, maybe, but the case is probably treated for that anyway).
