    The ones I have are not filled with clay. It's the little balls of some chemical that can draw moisture out of the air. Reactivation is 16 hours at 250°F, as indicated on both types of Desi-Packs that I have. These are military spec stuff from 30 to 40 years ago and the contents are similar to those little "No Not Eat" packs they put in almost everything, including shoes.

    I bought a package of these things one time and there was a piece of whitish, thick paper with circles on it that would turn pink or blue depending on the state of absorption. This let you know the state of the packs in the plastic bag.

    I've only found one that I missed so far. The rest I put in a Ziplock bag. I haven't gotten to my ammo inventory and repackaging everything, yet.

        I just toss my military type tyvek bags up on the dash of the truck on a nice Texas 105 degree work day...

        Works great.
        I was once asked if I was "a paranoid for carrying my Kahr".
        "Nope" I said, "just prepared".
        " prepared for what" he asked?
        "more stuff than you are"
        God Bless our Troups!
