I would never do this but for some reason really enjoyed watching you do it.
thanks man! I vac sealed a few things this week!
Thank you for the update!
Fantastic video! Very clever idea 👍👍
Thank you very much! Thanks for watching!
Excellent idea. Think I'll drag out the foodsaver and play around... Good stuff ER23 👍👍
I Just sealed up some guns and mags, Ill show you here in a few days.
While I do a limited amount of ammo like this, I've since swapped to steel ammo cans. Boy do they add up in cost, but they also protect very well. Get a safe lube for the seal, then throw in a DIY moisture control pack and you're done.
DIY pack is 000 steel wool in a open sandwich bag so the steel wool corrodes in the open bag not in contact with your ammo!
I like the idea of keeping it in boxes.already labeled, no sharp edges, maybe put paper in with info like price paid,when sealed,etc....I've heard cardboard is bad at holding moisture, maybe heat batches in oven at 120* or so to dry it out first. Also some desiccant packs have indicator beads that change color, maybe throw some in loose just as quick indicator of low moisture condition? If using the sturdy sealed ammo cans and loose ammo, maybe mix in dry white rice(I'd heard it draws moisture out of things?) and some indicator desiccant on top, but can'i easily check on it without opening/exposing to humidity.
I'm 66 so as long as I don't drown it it'll outlast me(unless I shoot it all first!)
Agree! Agree! and some of this stuff I have no intention of really ever needing.
Your most soothing video 😂😂
haha, thanks JEEP!
I have t sealed ammo. But its a very useful tool for a sportsman!!
I think it’s worth it to some extent
I've vacuum packed loose rounds for the last 15 years with a Costco Food Saver. they still have a tight vacuum. The key is to not let them move around against each other... Oh, and don't leave them where the freaking cat can chew on the plastic...
Wonder if you can double or triple stack an ammo pack? For Mylar packs they would recommend a iron at highest level or a hair flattener, which is a *Lot* easier.
A few minutes into the video...I was thinking. "Well, if that works.... what about sealing the loaded magazine".
Just need to watch the whole show to the end before commenting. 🤔😅
you can comment when ever you want MC! haha

Can you vacuum seal the magazine...IN the Rifle? 😅
You don't really need to seal ammo this way but that doesn't mean it's a bad idea! If you can afford the time and money to do it, why not? I live in Utah so I can store ammo in my basement and it stays very dry and the temperature never varies all year long within about 5 degrees. So I ain't gonna do this but I still like the idea. Utah is the third driest state after Arizona and Nevada, so I don't even need silica packs. That would make my ammo too dry. Ammo can be too dry and it's bad for it. I like keeping the humidity around 20% which in Utah is no problem!
My exact opinion. Sure it works. But not worth it for most.
Morning!
Hey AR!
In the bags with loose rounds, what if you alternated tips?
many fascinated with vacuum sealing ammo. but i find it unnecessary but a double safeguard.
Is it worth putting ammo in Mylar bags to prevent light+UV?
no probably not, i hardly think vacuum sealing them is worth it.
Hi , just came across your Channel, maybe if you are still doing this then maybe think about changing the direction of each alternative round, so head to tail, that way it is straight and not a curved row.
We still do updates on it. Seems like people are interested in the concept. I mostly think the vac is unnecessary
@@EagleRun23 The concept is good if you are just going to store your ammo "Just in case" but if you always train then not realy required if you rotate the ammo.
If your gonna go through all that trouble you should wear gloves as well
fair
Seems silly to vacuum seal. Why not just switch out the ammo once a year with new stuff
you are not wrong, but I do store more than 1 year supply. Just go with a nice sealed can and keep her dry and cool. best way to store
