The topic is about how to store ostomy supplies during hot weather, especially when attending an outdoor BBQ. The concern is that heat can damage the supplies, so finding a way to keep them safe is important. Here are some helpful tips and advice shared by others:

1. Consider using a small insulated cooler with ice packs or dry ice to keep your supplies cool. This can prevent the adhesives from melting or losing their effectiveness.

2. For short events, your supplies should be fine if you:
- Keep them out of direct sunlight.
- Avoid leaving them in a closed, hot vehicle.

3. Some people find that keeping a basic kit in their vehicle year-round works well. While heat might soften the adhesive, making it stick better initially, it could also reduce the overall wear time.

4. A minimal kit can be handy. This might include:
- One pouching system.
- Flushable wet wipes for cleaning.
- Disposable gloves and a disposal bag.

5. It's a good idea to have duplicate kits in various places, like your car, backpack, or jacket. Also, carrying a full change of clothes can be helpful for unexpected situations, especially when traveling or flying.

6. While some people prefer not to carry supplies when they are close to home, they agree that having them is essential when traveling farther away.
