Martin,
No, I haven't used the same humidipak for 6months, but I think each one does
last longer than Rico suggests as I have put a hygrometer in the bag and the
humidity level was still ok after at least 8-10 weeks with quite a few reeds
in the bag.

Have you been using the same humidpack for six months? Rico claims that it
only lasts for 4/6 weeks and then they should be replaced with a new
humipack which is sold in packages of 3 for about $15(US).
