    aww that's a cute little mini rack. See ya in 10 years when you've taken over the entire garage lol.
    Remeber, ammo never goes down in price, always up. "Buy it cheap and stack it deep"!!

    Because of weight (even if you don't max out the suggested limits) you may want to consider 1/4" sheets of particle board on top of the wire shelving to 'stiffen" it up. It will also increase the weight capacity of each self.

      J Mac I make sure to pull the desiccant packs once a year to dehydrate then so they do not lose their effectiveness - keep 'em dry!

    • @zachs652
      @zachs652 4 роки тому +4

      Mark Regan No need to do so. Once the oxygen absorbers are in the can, and you close it, it sucks all the moisture into the packs and stays that way until the can is opened again and air can get in. For long term food storage those silica gel packets can stay with food for over 25 years or 35 years untouched.

    I like the shelf, only thing for me is that I do not stack my ammo can on top of each other, it tends to squish and ruin the rubber gaskets in the lid because of the weight pushing down on them.

  • @hansvonmannschaft9062
    @hansvonmannschaft9062 5 років тому +5

    Good idea, I did something resemblant. By the way, if you switch ammo from can x to can y, or decide to put some cartridge you own in a small amount here or there, you could try using regular masking tape and a pen to label the ammo types, it's not as tidy as those cool stickers your wife made, but it gets the job done :-) Cheers and thanks for the video!
    Ps- If you feel like doing videos on different, but related, subjects, I'd humbly recommend you to begin by thinking about what things you like the most. The surprise factor here will be when you notice that most gun-related videos are pretty much about the same thing, a new product review, or, gun maintenance/parts swapping. There aren't many videos on the satellite bits of the hobby, like this one you just made. Hope it helps!

    I recently moved, it was a pain in the AZz. I had to conceal the ammo, didn’t want movers to know, had to take few thousand pounds of boxes, and labeled concrete, sand, lead. Told movers that the dry concrete was boxes expensive, made from crushed sea shells. It was loved safely along with my guns which I moved my self. Also a pain. Putting all my ammo in boxes and gorilla tape wasn’t cheap.

    You might want to consider well-built backyard shed for ammo.
    If your house catches on fire and the fire department shows up and they hear arounds detonating they will pull back and let your house burn down.
    The fire department can’t tell between rounds cooking off in a ammo can or around cooking off and the chamber of rifle which could be deadly.
    Ammunition kept in the house is kept in a fireproof safe.

      Keep em covered, keep your vehicle in tip top shape(lights,tires,fresh oil, the whole 9) no bumper stickers or any other identifiers as to the kind of person you are, if you must stop for the night then stop in rural areas that are likely to have no criminals or anti 2a people. Abide by all traffic laws. Other than that, keep em dry and wrapped in blankets or something to keep them from getting banged up I reckon. I hope that helped?
