I LOVE Polar Bear suitcases. As you probably know, I have a bit of a travel addiction. And while I enjoy a trip to Miami every now and then, I don’t dream about flying to Miami. I loved exploring far-flung places like Longyearbyen, Palau, Tasmania, Zimbabwe, Patagonia, the Maldives, the Whitsunday Islands, or Antarctica! As a kosher observant Jew that means I have to bring my own food unless there happens to be a Chabad House with a restaurant at my destination.
On our way to Alaska this past August, with 3 Polar Bear 48 packs and the kitchen sink…I mean toaster oven:
On shorter trips, I just freeze food a few days before the trip and the food arrives frozen. But on longer trips, on trips when there can be weather that cancels a flight, or when the connections times are very tight or long I pack my items in a Polar Bear suitcase.
Food that’s been frozen solid beforehand will stay frozen for a few days in a Polar Bear suitcase without any ice. If you add ice packs it will stay frozen for few days longer.
It truly opens up the world for anyone who needs to travel with perishables. The 48 pack is the largest size that they make. The trick to expand it is to fill it up with warm water and let it stand with water in it for half an hour or so. After that, you should be able to fit about 50 pounds of food or about 2 dozen small trays of food in it, depending on how well packaged the food is. For family travel, expect to need a couple of these.
Have you traveled with a Polar Bear cooler?
