My safe is in the garage but even so I was suprised at the amount of moisture that thing trapped, ive gone through 2 sets in 12 months and i think it was a wise $8 spent.

If that is the type with the white granules like the "Damp Rid" ones I wouldn't leave it in the safe. Search for the MSDS and you will find that you end up with a container of salt water sitting in your safe ... If the granules are used up and it starts evaporating in a hot shed....
Coles do a kitty litter that is basically silica gel, but is has a frangrance that optics dont like (so fine if there's no scopes). Recharged silica gel is free if you can get some old sachets. The tea bags or plasterboard are cheap or free and work.
