Another vote for CarCapsule. I use one for my motorcycle and it's kept it pristine through two winters in a damp garage. The air circulation really prevents that musty smell. Worth every penny.

Honestly, my first few were so bad I'm surprised the hammers didn't just fall out on their own. I was eyeballing it like an idiot. The feeler gauge was a wake-up call. Now I keep one in my kit that's permanently bent from checking too many Glock connectors.

Totally get that with the airlock gunk, had the same sticky mess once. A tight weave cotton cloth, like a clean tea towel, is the real move for kimchi. It lets it breathe and bubble over without making a lid pop off. Just make sure the cloth is big enough to tie down tight so nothing sneaks in.

Heard some guys set up a rule to run interference checks on a simpler visual style first, right @andrew_harris3?

Man, that's smart. I got stuck in Rome once with a dead phone and no way to find my hotel. Total nightmare. Now I keep a tiny charger in my bag at all times. It's not even fancy, just holds one full charge. That thing is a lifesaver.
