I find this heat pack gets pretty warm, in the 90s-100s and then crashes the
second day. Most do not give you 40 hours. I would maybe loosely wrap a paper
towel around it and tape it to the top of the box to try and extend the burn.

I would use the technique above and only one heat pack. It is warm in AZ, so the
heat pack going pffft when it gets there is what you want. The big question is,
will the gex be flying for most of their journey or will they go only by truck.
If they do not fly I would want the heat pack to be on the warm side.
