How about a vacuum sealed main mason jar with oxygen and moisture absorbing packets inside?

Pelican micro cases are made in canada, totally waterproof and crush resistant, and you can find them for like 15 bucks at most outdoor stores.

I'm just going to start off recommending a USB stick with a proper stainless steel enclosure. I have an old version of this, which I paid nearly $150 for, and has lived on my keychain for a decade.

despite being dunked in water a dozen time and banged around daily, It still works great.

150…? That’s insane

yea, it was 200gb right when it came on the market, and im including tax plus shipping in that price. Even the 1tb is still $135 these days.

Was really cutting edge when i bought it.

That’s interesting! How heavy duty is it

i mean, its a stainless steel enclosure, you could stand on it, but it will break if you hit it with a hammer.
