Road Sacks?

Ummm, a cooler?

If in a pickup truck, put some ice in the bottom of an ice chest, lay the sack in, or dump them loose, top with a bit more ice and leave the plug open for any water to drain.


I keep them that way when I get them early and don't plan on boiling until several hours later in the day.

If the day is cool enough, I just hose them every once in a while and keep them covered and out of direct sunlight.

I'd leave them in the sack. Easier to handle later for cleaning em and they will fight if given the room to do so. You'll end up with more dead ones.

It's tough to drive 6 hours with the cooler lid cracked in the back of a truck.

This is what we do. I used to bring 4 sacks of crawfish to buddies in Rockport, TX regularly. One bag of ice opened and spread on bottom of ice chest (Old school igloo 120qt) stack the sacks on top crack the lid a little with a wedge and strapped down so it doesn't completely blow open/off and leave the drain plug open so water doesn't pile up too much. Lots of luck with that route.

Do y’all think I can leave the drain open in the ice chest for enough oxygen or do I need to leave the lid cracked?

The plug isn't enough oxygen. Leave the lid cracked

Road sacks can be very dangerous, be careful.

Man, if y’all are cool, I’d like to go. Just if it’s no big deal.
