Just monkeying around. Gordy's straps

[ZoomP]

Guys,
My Gordy neck and wrist straps just arrived from the States. Loving it!!! My monkey seems to think so too.

Can I put the straps together with the camera in a dry cabinet?

No, you shouldn't. The leather will become dry and brittle with time if is a good and effective dry cabinet.

How do you guys store your M bodies and straps then?

I store them in my hands. Night and day.

Never see that coming. haha!!! No issue with fungus? I am in Singapore. Humid weather and leather gets mouldy fast

I always store them in the dry box at around 50% humidity. BTW, on my M2 I dont attach it to the strap lug. I drilled a small hole in a Photoequip grip and made a loop from stainless steel wire, which I know wont loosen - see pic.

I use sillica bags, a pain in the *** but it has no detrimental effect on leather. I'll get a dry box soon enough.
