85% of my gear is in a locking Craftsman metal tool cabinet with drawers. The rest is in bags with small amounts of gear, such as a Leica or Nikon film outfit or a couple of digital P&S ready to grab.

Australia. Mild tropical climate. Use pelican case (drybox)with reusable silica bead to absorb moisture. Stored in safe box 😁

Thank you for such an interesting post.
The dry cabinets are amazing. But having more than 50+ cameras of all kinds and sorts I don't have place for it (and the missus would not allow it). But from my sad experiece, avoid, yes a-v-o-i-d velvet-lined leather combination bags as this has killed my M6 zinc top plate. The parts in contact with the velvet develped those nasty blisters.
Other cameras left in the cardboard boxes they came in, for years, waiting in line to be restored or repaired, still look and feel as good as when they arrived.
Plastic bags or cases with silica also work very well.
Best regards

I am using a couple of electronic dry-boxes from Toyo Living (Japan based company)... the take away is to keep the RH around 35% and definately without exception less than 60%. A good friend had a grand piano in a very humid part of the country... she ran a dehumidifying system 24x7 in the studio part of the house...
