Best way to store pollen?

High all
I need to know the best way to keep pollen viable. I've only heard to keep it dry & store it in the freezer, tightly sealed. Will this work? How long will it stay viable this way? I want to use some Satori (Mandala Seeds) pollen to hit up some Blue Hawaiian females in the future. Any one know about this?

- dry a bunch of unbleached flower in the oven at about 225 degrees, spread out on tinfoil
- mix one part pollen to three parts of the dry flower
- buy some black 35mm film canisters from a camera/photography store
- label the canisters
- throw the canisters into a ziploc bag, store in freezer

I have pollen stored in the freezer, fridge and in a fireproof safe under my bed. After a year, they all are still viable.

Hi I found this on the Breeders Paradise section that I thought might help.

I drop in a few pieces of rice or a silica gel pack if I have any.
I have pollen over 5 yrs old that is still viable.

Awesome, thanks @narkush and @althor. I have some rice
