Storing Food in Storm Shelter

[JUSTIFIED]

you can always run an extension cord down the air vent, thats how my solar charger is run to the deep cycle

Yeah but I hate to have a cord strung across our patio all the time. I'll keep that in mind though when preparing for oncoming severe weather when there's a chance we may be watching episodes of Chopped in the storm cellar! LOL

That's a thought Matt. Our shelter is very nice but I'm surprised that it has no electricity. We put some battery powered lights and candles down there.

This might be an option for the shelter

The moisture takes its toll on the cans. The buckets seem to fair ok for the short time i've been doing buckets so maybe one of these more experienced ones will chime in. I have mixed feelings on the storm shelter because of floods n critters.
I would suggest that maybe the buckets go in and the cans stay elsewhere, kinda a eggs in one basket deal, dunno, just my 2 cents

Kinda what I was thinking Matt but the wife wants all the food in one place. My reason for storing them there is in case of tornados and I thought it'd be safer under lock and key from zombies but that's what insurance is for so I will probably opt for keeping the Queen happy and bring the buckets back in the house and store with the cans.

We've got a nice concrete storm shelter that stays dry.

Question: We've got some buckets of mylar packed food and 30 year canned goods from the cannery. Would it be ok to store it in the storm shelter or would there be danger of compromise since there is a bit more moisture in the air?
