in this case, the owner of the pickup has one leg, and the cab is used for adaptive equipment. I am a passenger, as is my wife. The cab is crowded.

My "cooler" is a craftsman versastack (link below) which is a large, very robust box on wheels. I was looking for a dolly, there were none available, this was. I have my clarinet in its "Gator" case, and in the box (which can double as a cooler.)

My cold pack is the "gel" type, which is intended to be a cold compress for strains and sprains. I suppose it is more of a "cool" pack than a cold pack. I keep it wrapped in a towel, to keep it from being too cold. It kept my Clarinet case at about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The Clarinet stayed about 65. (The inside of the truck gets to be about 110, in Florida sun.)

I will put my cold pack in the "fridge" vice the freezer and take it out of the fridge a couple of hours before the trip. The trip is long. I leave at 4:30 PM and get to the rehearsal about 6:00 PM. It's dark on the way back, much, much cooler.

(I started playing an Electronic Wind Instrument about two years ago. I use it in church, now. I play Clarinet in two community bands and a classical "Clarinet" choir. My friend has difficulty carrying and My wife has a big backpack as well. I do a lot of schlepping.)
