I recently purchased a second home in NH. I am in the process of moving some food stores and equipment to the house. I have two storage location options and I am not sure what I should put where.
Basement – outdoor access only, I am been tracking the Temp and Humidity over the last few months. The basement has the most space and the least amount of foot traffic but the High humidity in the summer months worries me. I will be adding a dehumidifier in the spring but relying on power and that device worries me a little
68.5-53.1 degrees F
92.5-50.4 % humidity
Garage and room above the garage – No temp control so the high and low temps will go with the season.
The items I am not sure of storing location are
Long term food
short term food
Ammo and few guns
Am I better off dealing with the bigger temp swings in the garage or fighting the humidity in the basement?
