Aleta,

For the purpose of long term storage of peroxide a desert with it`s extreme
temperatures is eventually not the ideal place.
Despite the horror stories heard from time to time I consider peroxide
as one of the oxidizers that with proper respect and adequate equipment
can be safely handled by amateurs.

PS. Personally I prefer LOX
