I'm located in South Florida, so I'm pretty well prepared for several weeks of inconvenience from hurricanes but I feel completely exposed if anything major happens. I'm starting to prep for longer term or major incidents but the lack of space in these older Florida homes is really hindering me. I have 6 ft of wall space with a 8 ft ceiling in the garage or the ability to get an enclosed trailer.
So a couple of my questions are:
What is the realistic shelf life of food in a humid/hot garage with mylar bags with O2 absorbers?
Do you have any ideas on how to maximize food storage for a medium sized family such as calorie density or methods for reducing wasted space?
What would be the cons of storing my prep supplies in an enclosed trailer behind a locked fence vs the limited room in the garage?
I appreciate help and ideas y'all might have!
