Thread: How do you keep your gun cabinet dry?

@JessicaChen Yeh my other photos did not load ,the difference is that these Golden Rod ones are museum rated & life time guaranteed & back when l got them were all USA made. I have 5, 10 gun safes with separate safes dedicated for my Sako , Brno & Shotgun collections & have Golden Rods in them all, the oldest Golden Rod l have in use is 30 something years old & the newest around 10yrs since l brought it , l brought them all while we were in the States guiding at various stages direct from Outfitters for guides.

The smallest ones are the 18 inch model & biggest 24 inch ,but l find the 18 inch is a good compromise ,they were only $30 something bucks with Tax back then . So after 30yrs of constant service with never a problem you can see why l recommend them ,but whether the new ones are built in the US to the same standard & not now in China like a lot of stuff l do not know ,if you look up Golden Rod Gun Safe Dehumidifier & it states they are still Museum Rated ,IMO they would be worth a few more bucks spent . What the Museum Rated means is insurers authorize them for constant use , in cabinet's containing Millions of Dollars worth of gear ,paintings ,books etc .

I also recommend getting one of the cheap Hygrometer (humidity MONITOR with high/low record),they are under $10 bucks now & it gives you a instant reading on what is happening in the safe .


Here is the pics l tried to post before of a couple of my 18 & 24 inch in the safes & the Mesh door cabinet l am using as a drying cabinet for the guns after a day in the Jet Boats or Fiordland weather etc at the Bach.
