Basement, near floor drain.

I set my hut up and lay out my gear in the heated garage after every trip to make sure it's dried out before storing.
I left mine in my van and then the temp went above freezing for a few days. Bad move!! There was enough rust to really affect the auger the next week. Had to remove the blades and remove the rust with an oil stone. I'm going to tr some of that lube.
Stays in the back of my truck from first trip till last . Shanty and auger ..
I use a product called Fluid Film which is lanolin based and is non-toxic and non-hazardous. Use it on a lot of things as it stops and prevents rust, I spray my snow blower with it and no snow sticks, spray the underside of my mower deck and it helps to keep grass clippings from sticking so bad, nothing seems to stop the grass completely but this really helps to keep it at a minimum. Go to there web site and check out all the recommended uses and you will be amazed. Wish I had found this stuff a long time ago.
Every year I put two or three coats of car wax on my auger bit and it helps a lot when revving it up to spin off the water. I did it initially because I was bored and wanted to play with my gear during the off season and after seeing that it helped I kept doing it and have been for years.
