Google it. They're kinda weak sauce but effective at keeping that second drink acceptably cool. Rather just buy a proper mains-powered mini fridge - something like this.
I got this one, it was cheaper before Christmas! Gourmia GMF600 Thermoelectric Mini Fridge Cooler and Warmer - 4 Liter/6 Can - For Home,Office, Car, Dorm or Boat - Compact & Portable - AC & DC Power Cords - White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DQT2ZGE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_o1KkCbRGWH5Y0
Hahahaha! I guess that picture link was still in my clip board and the amazon link didn't copy. This is what I meant!
I have one of these! I just keep it on my bathroom counter (luckily I have room so not an option for everyone). I keep both my tret and my Vit C in it.
I’m going to try this out with the 12v car charger and monitor the electric usage. If it works I’ll buy a couple of them and treat them like the crisper drawer and the meat/cheese drawer, it will allow for more flexibility when doing the build, and it’s fifty bucks. Not to say I wouldn’t love a four thousand dollar freezer, but we all have our priorities... and budgets vary.

Haha, this is something I would like to do at some point as well! This is the one I'm interested in getting. It's small, but cheaper than most options. Plus I'd only use it for Vitamin C products & possibly a few sheet masks anyway.
Nah I just wanted to make a point when someone on a thread said it uses a lot of electricity. I know a USB 1.0 doesn't use much more than a wireless mouse!
You know sometimes as a female who did not study science I may not know exactly how much electricity but i know for sure a USB 1.0 device does not use a "shitton" of electricity!
1c a day is less than a Starbucks a year. ��
Just standing up for myself. Troll alert plus they exaggerate myths to prey on people's insecurities! I do not like that. I use science and despite not studying any science, I come pretty close to a solution. Proud of my self ��
Any idea how much electricity a 6 can refrigerator will take? Example this one on Amazon?
I am really keen keen to get one. The 1 can solution failed. It only cools the bottom ��
This is what we used for overnight trips (and there were plenty of those). http://www.amazon.com/Personal-6-Can-Fridge-Cooler-Warmer/dp/B00DQT2ZGE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1447424894&sr=8-1&keywords=portable+refrigerator Just remember to put a washcloth in the bottom of it- it picks up moisture like crazy.
I bet you won't make that mistake again! Oh well, it's good for your gut flora. Live and learn.
Hopefully she labels her bottles clearly.
LPT for nursing mamas:
Place bags/bottles in a lunch bag or storage box/bag with a mini combo lock that either locks double zippers together or latch. There are lots of tiny combo lock options. Label with Medical decal or sticker. This way it protects your supply and commands respect;)
To others it could very well be medicine... best to leave it alone.
Eta: If you have your own cubicle or desk, buy one of these for under 40 bucks. You can put it on or under your desk.

As pointed out by another redditor, pls follow safe food storage guidelines! In case you did not know Fridge example has been updated to a specific model capable of cooling below 40 degrees and it shows it can be used for human milk and has reviews reflecting it was used for this purpose SPECIFICALLY and it is no longer from Walmart, but I bet you can find an acceptable product just about anywhere!
Many many women use these because they are safe.
If you are really concerned, grab a small fridge thermometer as well. https://www.amazon.com/Wrenwane-Digital-Refrigerator-Thermometer-Operation/dp/B011LM7IY6

You should let them know about your medicine, and it's requirements.
It shouldn't be a big deal, but you will want to prep for it if you do not have ready access to the refrigerator.
You should have power wherever you are working--there will be generators, especially if you are working with the military. However, depending on the work cycle--generators may go off at night....however again, most likely, there will be 24-hour ops. Just ask the questions--somebody knows.
Worst case scenario--bring your cooler, and steal ice from the military to keep your stuff cold.
Best case--you can bring your own, or use their fridge and just keep your meds there and take them while at the "office."
Recommendation:
1) If you can--yes, bring your own little fridge. The military generators need to put a load on the generators to keep them healthy.
2) if you have your own fridge, bring heavy cables so you can leach off the generator power.
3) for backup, bring a cooler--like what the other guy recommended.
4) bring TP...have a bunch of rolls stashed away and don't use them until you have to....and you will have to. Unless you get one of them smart guys who can count--you will run out until they figure out how much they actually need.
Edit:
5) bring your own power cables and surge protector--
6) bring your own light/wired and bulbs.
Edit edit:
Just looked it up on amazon, and they have super small fridges that would probably work for you: Gourmia GMF600 Portable 6 Can Mini Fridge Cooler and Warmer for Home ,Office, Car or Boat AC & DC, White - 110V https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DQT2ZGE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_--EZzbXSW3F87
Then you could just plug this guy in and problem solved---seems reliable enough.
Then you could have two of them, and plug one in at the "office," and then other one back at your tent.
If power is not at your tent, that's where your extension cords will come in.
7) And bring one of those goal zero batteries--they are safe to fly--then if power is shut off at night (probably unlikely for contractors), then you can power your fridge at night with your battery, and recharge your battery in the day with the generators.
Amazon sent me the wrong color and I took too long to send it back so now I just have it lol. It's this one.
Buy a mini fridge off Amazon! I bought this one last Feb for ~$50. This specific one isn’t available anymore, but they have tons of similar options for a similar price point!
No van here, but this works fine in my office for a couple cans of something and a 6" sammich or other stuff. It has a 12v option.
6 pack mini-fridge?
