In the U.S., these silica gel canisters (and in much larger sizes if you 
wish) can be obtained from:

http://www.dehumidify.com/HydrosorbentDesi.htm

Or, in Canada, the small and medium canisters can also be obtained from 
Lee Valley Tools at:

http://www.leevalley.com/home/Search.aspx?c=2&action=n


Both of these sources are *much* less expensive than buying them from 
sporting goods stores or camera stores.
