I moved my flares and GPS to a Plano Marine Box and a Guide series Stowaway
case, there are nice things to be found in the fishing area of Gander Mtn
and such. Is has a nice silicone O ring seal, nice case.  I can’t decide
which one I like better.

Those kit containers are just junk. I took the Olin keg-shaped container and
taped over the join, it might take a bit longer to get to but it's dry. Most
of my flares live in my waterproof ditch kit along with spare GPS and
handheld VHF, so they are pretty safe.

Checked my Olin flaregun kit and found a half cup of water in the bottom and
all four parachute flare shells were ruined.  They are only two years old
so I'm upset I have to buy new ones.  The Olin container is stored low and
not watertight and bilge water must have gotten into it when we were hard
over for a hard beat?  Not sure.  The other expired flares and shells I
keep in a pretzel jar, same place are dry.  The bottom of the storage bin
is also dry, but it's been 8 months since that hard beat.  I trashed the
Olin container and I'm enjoying eating pretzels to gain a new watertight
container prior to launch.
