I'm leaving tomorrow for a 4 day/3 night outdoor camping concert. What should I do with my pump to keep it cool from the extreme heat that will ensue??? I wish I had thought well enough in advance to get a frio pack to cover it, but I did not. Any ideas would be greatly appriciated! Thanks! :D

Don't worry and enjoy the experience. I've had my pump though many camping trips hot and cold. Never had a problem. Obviously, test a lot and if you suspect the insulin is losing effectiveness (never had this happen), bolus a bit extra. Typically, the extra exercise being outside is probably enough to stabilize your sugars.
If you bring extra insulin, put it in a ziplock and keep it in water to keep it cool. Bring alcohol wipes to clean the top before use depending on the water source.
Have fun!
