aww that's a cute little mini rack. See ya in 10 years when you've taken over the entire garage lol. Remeber, ammo never goes down in price, always up. "Buy it cheap and stack it deep"!!
Mark Regan No need to do so. Once the oxygen absorbers are in the can, and you close it, it sucks all the moisture into the packs and stays that way until the can is opened again and air can get in. For long term food storage those silica gel packets can stay with food for over 25 years or 35 years untouched.
Because of weight (even if you don't max out the suggested limits) you may want to consider 1/4" sheets of particle board on top of the wire shelving to 'stiffen" it up. It will also increase the weight capacity of each self.
Good idea, I did something resemblant. By the way, if you switch ammo from can x to can y, or decide to put some cartridge you own in a small amount here or there, you could try using regular masking tape and a pen to label the ammo types, it's not as tidy as those cool stickers your wife made, but it gets the job done :-) Cheers and thanks for the video! Ps- If you feel like doing videos on different, but related, subjects, I'd humbly recommend you to begin by thinking about what things you like the most. The surprise factor here will be when you notice that most gun-related videos are pretty much about the same thing, a new product review, or, gun maintenance/parts swapping. There aren't many videos on the satellite bits of the hobby, like this one you just made. Hope it helps!
I recently moved, it was a pain in the AZz. I had to conceal the ammo, didn’t want movers to know, had to take few thousand pounds of boxes, and labeled concrete, sand, lead. Told movers that the dry concrete was boxes expensive, made from crushed sea shells. It was loved safely along with my guns which I moved my self. Also a pain. Putting all my ammo in boxes and gorilla tape wasn’t cheap.
I like the shelf, only thing for me is that I do not stack my ammo can on top of each other, it tends to squish and ruin the rubber gaskets in the lid because of the weight pushing down on them.
Being a fellow Floridian, would love to shoot with ya, but I only have a K98K (RC) and an Argentine 1909. I must say, I learned a lot from you. I am must starting out on MilSups and got my two this year. This type of content is cool, keep it going.
I have to do the same..I’ve been searching for the perfect shelving unit but it doesn’t exist lol.id love to find a big locker type unit with sturdy shelves that I could close the doors and lock but most aren’t good enough or don’t have enough shelves...I might have my friend make me one that is wide enough for maybe 5 ammo cans on each shelf and deep enough just to fit the cans so I don’t have excess shelf that I’m not using.id love to have it made where the shelves are tilted downwards to make it easier when grabbing the can.as you can see I’m obsessed with this lol.
Damn.. jealous I dont have that much ammo. With the craziness going on I only have a measly 20 rounds of 223 and 75 rounds of 9mm. I guess better then nothing but still.
How much ammo rounds would you estimate you have? Good stuff bro! I’m trying to reach a level of having a surplus of ammo myself. Tough times now for having any ammo at all.
Keep em covered, keep your vehicle in tip top shape(lights,tires,fresh oil, the whole 9) no bumper stickers or any other identifiers as to the kind of person you are, if you must stop for the night then stop in rural areas that are likely to have no criminals or anti 2a people. Abide by all traffic laws. Other than that, keep em dry and wrapped in blankets or something to keep them from getting banged up I reckon. I hope that helped?
I did this many years ago. I also searched for decent software that was ridiculously expensive to inventory weapons and ammo but couldn't find anything I really liked so I finally wrote my own software.
You might want to consider well-built backyard shed for ammo. If your house catches on fire and the fire department shows up and they hear arounds detonating they will pull back and let your house burn down. The fire department can’t tell between rounds cooking off in a ammo can or around cooking off and the chamber of rifle which could be deadly. Ammunition kept in the house is kept in a fireproof safe.
Been watching ammo videos off and on for a while and this was first video in the first couple of seconds I was like damn I need more ammo had an idea for the shelf that strip LED lighting a couple of pieces underneath each shelf might look cool
The best way to tell if an ammo can has a functional seal is if you open it up and smell and you smell fresh paint that means that the seal is good I've seen cans that are rusted on the outside with a good seal still smell like fresh paint on the inside
I wonder how many times he busted open a can a said “ holy crap I forgot I had that”. I do that with my fish lures all the time! I’ve got no organization skills. I just keep buying 5-10 lures every time I go to store.
I’m move form Louisiana to Arzonia any tips on move the ammo it’s self I have them in ammo cans with some descants do I put them in the car or in the enclosed trailer I’m nervous to it in the trailer due to temp it going to be like 4 days to get their any tips will help Thanks
how do you know you have enough ammo? Its when you start thinking how to figure out storing large quantities of it in a smaller space as much as possible. Oh and buying more cases/crates to keep up nicely organized and protected from the elements. Lol xD
Moving ammo bites. Did it once and never want to again. Yeah the wife doesn’t know what she got into until you have to take one trip just to move your guns.
the German butcher bayonets sexy i collect those because i am not old enough to own a muaser i would be so happy to see a video about it amazing im waiting for it so meny people people like me collect them but dont have much videos about it
Wives do not NEED to know how many guns we have. Like the guy said, "I just hope that after I die my Wife doesn't sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them".
I'd recommend ammocanmagnets.com for labeling your cans. I don't have as many as you but they are nice and bright and add a coolness factor. Which of course is important.
Would those shelves support the weight long term? I'd suggest having a cross beam in the middle of each shelf. Looks great though #lifegoals :-). Unfortunately here in Ireland, you'd NEVER be allowed to own that much ammo!!
I guess I'll see what it can hold long term. It's advertised at being able to hold the weight that is on it. I'll probably just monitor it for any bending or warping.
I noticed you keep your reloading powder in the same place you keep your ammo. Not a good idea. My powder is in a reloading shed 75 feet from my home and it is climate controlled.
u ever think abt what u will do in a shit hits the fan cinareo like wich guns an how much ammo will u take lol maybe i think abt this too much i just dont think i can leave my m96 behind lol
Ahh I love ammo porn videos😱😍 In the last 10 secs of this video, what are those 3 ammo cans on the top left of the screen what's their origin? German Army maybe?
