I keep bulk tubes in my office in air controlled environment out out of direct sunlight. Buy the small clear plastic boxes at Walmart with several compartments for small amount tubes (carry enough for a few trips, I carry one for 2'' and another for 2.5'' tubes) , swivels , and lead heads for less than 5 bucks each. I have a big water proof orange storage box that i carry in the boat. It will hold several of those boxes plus pliers , knife , and a few other things I need in the boat.
