Moving across the country and looking for a way to keep my records cool in the blistering heat we've been experiencing stateside. Maybe some kind of blanket that reflects the sun or some kind of insulation... any crazy idea is appreciated because I honestly don't know how to pack my babies up for this trip that might end up taking at most a week to move. please help!

record boxes?

u wana keep cool when playing, or when carrying around?

Pack them super tight in a standard record crate with a piece of cardboard in the front and back. Try to keep them out of direct sun and heat. Not much you can do other than that. Heat is killer. I'd imagine if you put something reflective over the crates, it would keep some heat out, but if it's hot it's hot. Not much you can do. My homie warped a few crates worth of plates leaving them in his car during the summer and he had them packed tight too, so yeah, not much you can do other than keep them out of the heat as much as possible.

Pack them in a big insulated food cooler. Those are designed to keep things cool.
