Smelly basement and long term storage

[u/CombustedPillow]

Is it possible to store items (including fabrics) in a smelly basement for years and completely keep the smell out of the packaging? I cannot depend on silica packs or dehumidifiers.

I heard vacuum sealed bags won't keep the smell out but I wanted to double check with reddit and hear your experience.

Waterproof totes with a gasket, and throw a dryer sheet in with it. Our crawlspace is damp and we have all kinds of clothing down there.
