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 cant decide which one I like better.

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.
