Really? How come the sealed components that I get from the manufacturer always has a pouch of dessicant and a humidity indicator card in it?

You don't put a dessicant in a vacuum sealed bag, do you? The vacuum
will slowly suck out that beautifully adsorbed moisture: pfloook! Then
these molecules will float around, all over your components, which will
swallow them up like gangbusters. IMHO, one, t'other but not both,
vacuum and dessicant.
