How about storing under CO2 or Argon?

I'm a home brewer and I also weld so I could take a 5-gallon keg and use
it for storage.

You can by used 5-Gallon stainless steel Pepsi soda kegs from home brew
stores for about $20. Fittings to put the gas in for another $5 or so.
Find someone who is a home brewer or a TIG welder and offer to build
something for them if they would top off your keg whenever you needed to
fish out some parts...
