What are these 'silica gel satchels' - are they those rectangular bags with tiny translucent beads in them?

How often do these satchels need to be replaced, if at all?

Go on ebay, you can usually pick up good quality ones made in Japan that have blue beads in them that eventually turn pink when they have become dense with moisture (although this doesn't take long as the air is saturated with moisture) for about $5-10 for 25 satchels.

Thanks, found them on eBay.

Im kind of thinking so long as they dont get hot and that they are stacked propperly they should be fine.

You are planning on keeping them in an air conditioned room though right? Don't know what state you're from, but QLD weather needs air conditioning to stop age discoloration. I do the same with comics, to stop the paper aging.

Air conditioned sometimes! Lol S.A Weather can be a little more forgiving than that of QLD. We definitely dont have as much humidity but it can get very hot.
