A tip we use in Scotland is bowls half filled with salt in shed over the winter. They will end up overflowing with the moisture they collect. Also........What is a swag? Is it a woman you take camping with you? If so we call them SLAGS

We keep all ours in the garden shed an havent seen one single spider yet when we've gone to use them. Maybe they dont like our smell
Have'nt had any moisture problems either cos we have'nt had any rain for 50 million years!
Millions of Redbacks everywhere else in the shed but LOL!

Most of our camping gear lives in our camper trailer. The rest lives on the shelves in the garage. In fact all of it used to live on the shelves before the camper arrived. Never had any moisture or insect problems.
Insects taken care of by the bug man doing his thing and moisture just isn't a problem.

That dosnt work !!!!!
I have tried that since you posted it ( nearly a year ago ). I had buckets of salt, but the dampness still wrecked my tent, my saddle, -- generaly mould on everything.

Ive been using some I got at bunnings. Brand is KiTab. they are rectangular with straight sides, ie not tapered top to bottom, and have a fairly small rim on them so you dont end up with wasted space coz of the shape.
you can get with/without lids, but lids dont clip on. few different sizes to choose from.
Fairly strong and reasonable price too
I rate em

by Wish I had coils
black 100 litre plastic boxes with lids that can be removed or left on as one side turns into a hinge, Also has a place for padlocks to lock the box up.
From Bunnings and seen them at super crap as well $28-$30 cheap as.
Super stong keep all my gear in them just lable the side and grab the box i need, Great seat to when camping.
