Doing it this way is roughly 3x the cost for 100 bags as opposed to buying the ones I posted, any benefits that good to justify the extra expense from doing your own?
I know the bags would be bigger but a 4" x 6" bag isn't needed for an ammo can unless you've got a 20mm lol.

For the gun safe maybe?

For whatever you want.

You can also use it for other purposes, like drying out things you didn't want to get wet, whatever. It'll also fill more than 100 bags, and you don't need to make the bags full to have them work really well in an ammo can. You can tell when they've absorbed moisture and you might want to refresh them, because they turn from bright orange to blue, and it's also easy to 'recharge' by throwing them in the oven, and you know they're fine because they turn blue again.

It's an option I went with, and I like it. It's certainly not the only right way to kill your cat.

There is a downside, though. After you've used whatever you need for whatever you need, you're wondering what you're going to do with half a large container of orange beads...

Maybe buy more ammo?

I suppose I could make party favors for my friends, if they'd ever come to my party.

Like it has been said, lot's of ways to skin a cat, this is what I do. 10 Gram re-usable, the cans are sealed so it's not like there is a constant source of moisture.

I like those too. Already packed up for you, easy to inspect and recharge (BTW, it turns back orange, from blue, unless you get the kind that go the other way. I typed it wrong above)... It's kind of a Cadillac form factor :)
