Gun shops sell plastic bags designed to deal with this

Be aware that some gun-storage bags are designed to deposit a
corrosion-resistant film on the contents by means of a chemical-
impregnated liner, card, bag, or other insert. This would probably
mean death to a hard disk. These bags are usually marked as such, but
be careful.
There are many kinds of dessicant. Silica gel is the best for this
purpose, as far as I know. It's also possible to get packets of an
oxygen-absorbing material, usually used for food storage.
