I keep my filament in these: IRIS USA UCB-SS Weathertight Storage Box, 19 Quart, Clear which I found at multiple places like Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc. I throw in whatever desiccant packs I can find. No problems with moisture at all.
I ordered one of those storage boxes from Target. Should be here next Monday.
Thanks for the ideas.

Thanks Arvid for the desiccant idea. I ordered a 6lb jug of indicating desiccant. It's the orange stuff which isn't toxic. It's the blue stuff that is nasty because it contains cobalt.
Before I put the desiccant in the bag the humidity was 51%. I put the desiccant in sometime yesterday afternoon and this morning it's down to 23%. Now I can finally do some printing.
Thanks!

Here's one of many ways to keep the filament dry while even while using it:

Thanks for that. I was looking for a way to keep it dry while using it.
