Long-Term Storage of Equipment

I will have to box up speakers, Amp, digi-players, and a turntable for several months due to a temporary move.

Apart from temperature-controlled storage, what can I do to make sure that all is well?

I'm thinking about those "silica" packets that we've all seen in new boxes. Apparently it does something regarding humidity...

Any thoughts on whether this is something that I should chack into?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Wow, Earnestmoney, thanks for the response! I appreciate knowing the details of such everyday underappreciated products. There's history behind these products that's interesting, though we seem to take them for granted.

Just bought an external hard drive that came with this brand: Natrasorb.

You can dry it out in the oven. I've contacted them to order some. May be wholesale only though.

Multisorb is the biggest and the best manufacturer of these products based on my research thus far. I think they are wholesale only, but may be happy to send you some samples.

If Multisorb won't help you, I can guide you to some retailers....later....gotta run.
