Step 2: Choose the Type of Trip and the Cooling Options at Location
Determine what type of trip you're taking and what cooling options are available at your destination:
- From A to B with on-site cooling – You have a refrigerator available on location, so you only have to bridge the journey.
- From A to B without on-site cooling – No refrigerator available on site. Choose a cool box that is also suitable during your stay.
- From A to B to C without a freezer on site – You are traveling to another location without a freezer; choose a cool box that is suitable for multiple stops.
