Damp rid is just a bucket of this chemical in crystal form that attracts humidity. It’s just a cheap first thing to try out.
You can actually see how much water it is attracting to gauge how bad the problem is.
I sorta think global warming is leading to a lot more moisture that we are having to deal with. Versus past generations.

thanks a ton! I found this on amazon - https://www.amazon.com/DampRid-FG50T-Hi-Capacity-Moisture-Absorber/dp/B0029EGUNG/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1477492108&sr=1-1&keywords=damprid

wondering how long your damprid lasts you?

Looks just like this stuff. Pulls moisture out of the air

You could probably bag it during off-use.

A heavy duty construction site style garbage bag, tied and taped, would probably be sufficient to keep humidity relatively low. You could also bag it with something like this to help if you're concerned.

Or just take the burner off, stick it in a rubbermaid tub or a plastic tote box, and you'll be fine.

I wonder if putting damp rid buckets in the room would work?

Do you still have the box that the case came in? As well as the foam inserts for said box? If so, the case box + foam is the perfect transportation / storage option. Just put the foam on your PC case, and place it into the box. Secure the box, and place it in an elevated location where there isn't too much humidity. You can purchase one of these which should last a long time, and leave it in the same area as the PC. I have used these, and they work great. You should be good otherwise. Best of luck, stay safe, and thank you for your service!

Sop the water out and check it any time it rains. Get several pails of desicant to start sucking up the moisture. You can find such in the paint section and you can recharge it in your oven if funds are tight. That should hold till the shop is ready, it's probably something simple like the trunk gasket.

Hm. LOTS of DampRid in your lens cases and camera bag. Possibly someone makes a version with antifungal stuff in it? Hm.

I would ask a couple of pro photographers... HEY! I know a pro photographer who worked in Bali for a couple of years. I'll ask him.

Can you get the little dehumidifers, that have the little balls in them? Kind of like this We could find them in pretty much any store in our city, it helps.

Decorate your house with buckets of Damp Rid?

Let me tell you the story of how something similar happened to me (with less catastrophic damage). I had a vehicle that was having a mildew problem and so I bought a large container of a product known as DampRid and placed it securely in the car so that I could still drive it. Well one day I was driving to my parents home in a semi rural area and where I was supposed to take a left, an on coming car was heading my way. I stopped with my indicators on and waited for the car to pass. Right when our cars were almost next to each other, I get slammed from behind by another car. The bucket of DampRid in the back seat EXPLODED and shot the pellets everywhere. That was fun to clean up and don't think I got them all.

Wow we usually wash the sheets about every 4 weeks. You must have some major moisture! You need some Damp-Rid. http://www.amazon.com/DampRid-FG50T-Hi-Capacity-Moisture-Absorber/dp/B0029EGUNG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1404582205&sr=8-3&keywords=damp+rid

I use damprid. I have seen it at Lowes, however I believe Amazon has it cheaper. That is if you have room in your safe for a big bucket of desiccant.

Put this in your car with the windows closed for 1 month. It worked for me.

Damp-Rid is great stuff! We leave a tub in the bathroom behind the toilet and it sucks all the moisture out of the air.

If you are worry about moisture I would just use one of those http://www.amazon.com/DampRid-FG50T-Hi-Capacity-Moisture-Absorber/dp/B0029EGUNG

I was able to get by with maybe 4-5 beach towels and then leaving one of these in the front seat for a few weeks. As far as I can tell, there is no odor.

Damp Rid helps a lot.

Get a dehumidifier and/or find the water leaks. Even something like this would likely help.

Desiccant packs or a diesel heater.

You can dry desiccant packs in an oven or microwave to reuse them. A dutch oven on propane might work too.
