what kind of cooler do you need to keep the caps in? Can I get a picnic cooler?

Sure thing... We used 2 Igloo 60qt rolling ice chests because of their rugged design and portability (wheels and handle)... The cheaper styrofoam models would probably work too, just harder to transport them from the car to the chemo clinic... Good luck!!

Use only Penguin Caps - others don't keep steady temps - I tested both. Use a heavy duty, super insulated cooler if your chemo room doesn't have a penguin freezer.

Avoid Advance cap - doesn't work- I tested both - use Penguin caps - 15 yrs of use around the world and a great record. You need 2 large insulated coolers for the 6-8 caps you need for the rotation. Again, only Penguins work and only Penguins are designed by a scientist.

yes, that's what we used. However, it's worth noting that the cap didn't work for us. We only had one and it would stay cold for say 30 minutes whereas the chemo lasted an hour and a half. The chemo did work though thank god.

We used the rolling type cooler because I bought several pounds of dry ice each time. I had 5 caps in rotation. You can't use just one. I wore mine 30 minutes before the infusion began and for 2-3 hours after the chemo infusion ended. The Penguin caps seem to work better, based on comments by others but these did what I needed them to do. I didn't lose all my hair. It did thin out quite a bit. I got by with creative parting of my hair, scarves, and hats. I still lost my eyebrows and eyelashes and all other body hair. If you're asking about these caps, I'm terribly sorry and wish you the best in your treatment. We used the rolling type cooler because I bought several pounds of dry ice each time.

I do not believe there is any cheaper way to bottle than trying to recycle used brown (light protection!) beer glass bottles (you could reuse them indefinitely if you do not give them away proudly). This kit would need about 8-10 bottles. You still need to buy the caps and the capper, but they are not so expensive. Other options: The Growlers sell swing-top silicone gasket lid bottles in various sizes (so then there is no need for capper and caps). This makes everything easier, but every time you open it, you lose carbonation. There is also a "Party Pig" system, although it is for more than two gallons and costs around $40. Good luck!

I don't use a cap I keep the changed buttery on the solar panel to keep it charged. I use it for the battery in my camper.

It is the best lunch box/cooler I have ever had. Stays cold all day and more. Throw some cans in there with a little ice pack and you're good to go. I have seen a cooler for long neck's, but cannot remember who makes it.Best of luck in your search!

We have filled the case with frozen prepared food along with frozen gel packs and driven to the beach. The beach is about 5 hours away. We have successfully transferred the still frozen food to a freezer. We prefer to use the cooler for refrigerated picnic foods. We fill the cooler and place gel packs on top of the food and keep the food cold. We have had an issue with the bottom board in the cooler. After a few uses, some of the seams can open exposing the insulation. Suggest you enclose the board in a large plastic bag.

Freeze. They feel like they are gel filled but the freeze hard. Like any ice pack you would get with a small cooler.

I travel about 1 hour each way to the store and back. I am assuming you are wanting to transport an ice cream cake. If that is the case I would freeze 2 - 20 ounce. Soda bottles to let the cooler get cold. If the day time temperature is in the mid-80s or above I would cover the box with an old quilt or blanket for additional indulagoon. I think this foldable cooler is a fantastic product.

Pretty easy to fit with the velcro lap.(Sorry about my english, I speak french).I bought 3 caps. Always 2 inthe cooler. 20-30 mn staying cold.

I carry my lunch in the Maxcold and my drinks stay cool most of the day. Ice Packs do not come with it. If you want your drinks really cold, I recommend ICE packs.

Don't put the cap in the freezer, cover the container with plastic wrap when freezing. I actually don't know if it is freezer safe, but my lightcaps are always out doors and it gets below freezing in the winter (maybe down to 20F every now and then) and they survive. -Sindy

I use a small insulated sandwich bag with ice packs that fits nicely within a bag too as its not as large as a full size lunch pal. It holds three bags so it works for me.

I don't fill this bag with ice nor do I recommend. It has a zip out liner yet it has give to it so to dry it out daily would be a bother. I only dump ice into a cooler when it's a hard case cooler for canned or bottled beverages. Unsure of your needs...but I recommend that if you'll be putting food in the cooler (and not necessarily beverages only) that you use a Thermos ice mat ($1.49) on the bottom of the cooler, pack it AND use the Mueller ice bag ($6.49) placed on top of the packed food. I ALMOST guarantee you'll have an ice cube or two left in the ice bag after 24 hrs!! We, in the airline business use this method often. It's much easier to clean. We pack our food in plastic containers and ziplock baggies with zero concern for water logging our food.

You could use soda bottles. They work and can hold pressure. Clean and sanitize them. They will be much more UV sensitive and the plastic can hold/release off flavors. But will be cheaper/easier if you don't have access to a capper or swing top bottles.

Yes. Most water coolers are set up this way. By the way, you can reuse those caps. I can get as many uses out of 1 bottle cap as I can the bottle. You just have to put the little center back into the cap.

As I stated earlier, I do not have this cooler. The Coleman Coolers are great. I looked around briefly to try and help you out and model #2000004136, 24-can soft cooler is much like the one I ordered. They are really nice. Just look around a bit because they should have more and probably several different colors. Hope this helps you out. L.G.

Get the WIDE mouth one with the flip lid and straw kit. This way you can use it for hot and cold with a straw for cold and sipping.
