I am fortunate in having never flooded or had any major disaster hit. I feel for those that are going through the worst of times and hope all works out in the end.
However I must ask about some above postings, re: large coke bottles.
1. Would not plastic gallon milk jugs with screw on caps work just as well and would hold more ammo?
2. Does it flood often enough that you guys keep your ammo in these bottles or do you keep them on hand for such emergencies?
3. Why not just put the ammo in the attic in whatever type containers they are in at present?
i do not trust milk type jugs(1 gal water jugs). too thin and it seems like they crack after a while no matter where you store them.
i had to transfer ammo cans full of ammo a few years ago when the river was so high. never again. i don't want to worry about ammo in times like that.
attic? humidity, heat, no ac. i won't. i rather my ammo in coke bottles under water. cooler. plus i see some attics could have had water. i would put guns up there with those vacuum bags. i did put guns up there wrapped in wool blankets and hopped for the best last time.
