Buying a sack or two one day and keeping them alive overnight before doing a lunch boil the next day, if you aren't able to buy them the morning of your boil? Can it be done, how?

Put ice in bottom of ice chest. cover ice with burlap or blanket. put crawfish on top. pull drain plug to drain off water

yep. Wet and cool. I did this all the time when I'd boil in Chicago. Pick them up at Midway of Friday afternoon and boil them Saturday. very few dead, and those that were were usually crushed.

if the weather stays cool, just wet them right before you go to bed and they will be fine.

make sure there isn't any standing water in the storage container you use. the bugs will be trapped and suffocate. so, as mentioned, just make sure they are in a cool very moist environment.
