    My safe is in the basement. I have one of those rechargeable dehumidifiers and a golden rod. Humidity has never been a problem. I was also concerned about water in the basement, even though I’ve never had any water. I have my safe raised on 3 pieces of 2 x 6. I figure 4.5” of water I’d the whole basement would be a Lot.

    Another thought / recommendation: I have it against a wall and bolted to the floor. When I bolted it down, I drilled all the way thru the floor. The anchor bolts catch just fine, but if I ever need to move the safe, I can just drive the bolts down thru the floor. (That’s the way many machines are mounted to the floor of factories).

    And if possible, put it in a corner with door opening facing wall. Harder to pry open in that scenario.

    There’s some advantages to a safe in the basement assuming humidity is controlled but one potentially big drawback is if you insure your guns some insurers require that they not be stored in a basement. That’s something to definitely consider and if insured to check on first.

    The OP was from 2013. If he hasn't figured it out by now, I doubt he ever will.

    Page length is a variable that can be set in the user cp. I have it set to 40 (ie, 40 posts per page). The OP is still on this page. IIRC, the default is 10 posts per page.

    I didn’t realize that page length could be set by the user. 10 post per page always seemed a little short to me.

    Then you probably also didn't notice that the OP is banned.

    For those of you using desicant packs, such as myself, these are only $1 at my local dollar store and hold at least a cups worth of water. I replace it about every 4 months or so.
