Paula, The ziplock bags will only work if you add a desicant (like the little packets that come with alot of electronic stuff). The crystal kitty litter is one way to go if you don't have a fistful of the little packets (just put it in a fabric pouch or plastic bag with holes poked in) and make sure everything is as dry as can be before you pack it ( hot sunny DRY day is the best!)

Those are great tips. Space saver bags with the little crystal packet in it. Thanks soo much. Very do-able.

Ahhhh, the desicant is a great idea, should have thought of that. I'll use them when bagging up my cold weather cloths.

Here's one more idea. I have a portable dehumidifier that I got at Sears a few years back.
Whenever I pack my underwater camera in it's underwater case before a dive I wheel the dehumidifier into one room together with the camera/case and close the room up tight . I run it for about 6 hours and get the humidity down to about 40%. Then the camera is ready to be sealed into the case.
This same technique could be used before sealing anything into the space bags.
