Emergency essentials 6 gallon bucket storage

[rac]

I have a substantial amount of rice, beans, etc that I purchased from EE and I just moved to a home with no basement however it has a dirt crawl space. Does anyone know if these buckets, placed on wood pallets would fare well in that environment. They are air sealed with oxygen absorbers. I know heat is the enemy however this area actually stays cooler than the house. I just worry about moisture on the outside of the buckets. I have read where you lose a good number of years on your food stuffs when above 70 degrees. I am limited inside and looking for alternative long term storage options that will keep.

You could get a dehumidifier

Check with Emergency Essentials and ask if they packed the food in a mylar type bag when they packed it in the bucket.
If they did, as long as the bucket seal is good, it should be ok.
Check the seals by picking the bucket up by the edge of the lid - if it feels loose (wiggles, comes off anywhere, etc...) seal is broken, use for your short term, or re-pack
cooler is better, but go with what you have - my main storage area fluctuates from freezing to hot - no spoilage, off tastes, etc from stuff in buckets, or the stuff I can

yes, they will be fine. EE packs in mylar and with 02's. Least from their web site. you'll be G2G.
If your worried check out the results movies on my youtube channel ( PAW productions/delta69alpha) there is a 2 part film, hosted by RH from survival report showing how certain LTS faired stored certain ways in the "south".
