Heat packs are a good idea if I go the cooler/styro route, thanks Ed.

I used a gel heat/cold pack and heated up in a microwave at a gas station and duct taped to the top of the cooler worked like a charm

I have foam coolers you can have if needed.

I think I will do the 5g bucket with a heater, then I know the temperature is right instead of approximate with heat packs and such.

I will just float the bags, and acclimate when I get home.
