Out of curiosity, how are they packed when you purchase them?

On the fleet farm website, it shows them in a "breathable" plastic bag.

So I'm thinking of buying 250 crawlers from Fleet Farm for $39. It's a really good deal when you break it down, I just don't know how to haul that many in, and what to keep them in once we make camp. Any suggestions?

I use a Frabill Crawler Cabin (but I think half a flat is too many worms for even the large one). If you use this, make sure you soak it for at least several hours before loading it up. I also use a layer of moss in the bottom, from my back yard. And I use bedding instead of the dirt they come in.
Just make sure you keep it in the shade while at camp. I also bring a small towel that I keep wet and covering the box.
I've had them last at least 5 days this way.

I've never tried it but I wrote it down when I read it - use instant cold packs, commonly found in first aid kits, to keep them cool.

Also, put in some used coffee grounds. Keeps soil moist and provides food. I mix the used grounds in an old leaf pile in my back woods. Nightcrawlers love it. Easy pickin.
Learned that from my Dad.
