Re: [GSAS-Member] Heat Pack & Shipping Cartons

[matt kaufman <igotadose@hotmail.com>]

REI and presumably other camping stores sell 8 hour heat packs. I doubt you'd 
find anything that lasts a couple days; why not ship via airport to airport in 
that case? I've done it for fish shipment during the winter months and it works 
o.k. and is as fast as you can hope to get. You want an airline that travels 
nonstop to the airport nearest the recepient - I've used Alaska out here and 
used to use Continental in NJ. Stopovers are risky - think fish styros sitting 
on the tarmac someplace cold. It won't be cheap though.
