Hi 👋   I was just wondering if my supplies would be ok in the car while I'm at the beach. Me and my bf life to drive the beach and spend the day there until we are able to check into our place we're staying for the weekend and I'm worried the heat will ruin my stuff. Just need any tips on what to do. Thanks 😊

I had a problem once when I kept a spare in the car. The front and back of the bag welded together. Do you have small cooler?

I'd put them in a cooler with some  blue ice packets. Just keep them from direct contact with your supplies. You should be good for the day.

Yes I thought of using a cooler and stuff. It's all I can think of.  And texas heat is no joke. Lol

They’ll be fine. Just don’t leave in direct sunlight, like all the dashboard. 😁 the little dog sided coolers work well cause they also insulate reversely(if that’s a word 🤷‍♂️). Don’t think you need any ice pack or anything in it, just put your supplies in, zip it shut, and put behind the seat so the sun doesn’t hit it. You could always leave the window cracked to allow heat out too.

I keep mine in an insulated bag wrapped in a towel.
