Canvas Bag For Epipen is Perfect!

Spring time is amazing! The buds are bursting off the branches, flowers are peeping up among the dead leaves and everywhere you look are a multitude of different colored greens. Spring is also the time of year we mothers often go into an over vigilance with our children and their allergies. There are many environmental allergies as well as various insect allergies that are prevalent during the warmer months. With this beautiful warm weather and vitality of the earth comes a constant possession of the epipen which is an easy to use method of administering life-saving epinephrine.

I first found out my child was allergic to bees, when at the age of three she found a crispy dead one and almost died of an allergic reaction. It took about eight minutes for her face to puff, a white ring to form around her mouth and for her to need oxygen and epinephrine shots. Unfortunately, I was unprepared and not knowing she was allergic to anything made for a stressful six hour emergency room visit that turned into an overnight stay in the intensive care unit. Thankfully, she received the right treatment in time and now I am equipped for any future bee stings by the required transport of her epipen.

At first, I thought we could keep it in the car- so we would always have it with us on our weekend trips. The epipen needs to stay about room temperature however and we have had to replace those that have reached near boiling point because they were left in the car or forgotten in the direct sun. Therefore, in the car would be too hot or too cold much of the time it is needed. A cooler or ice pack can be too cool and anywhere in the direct sun can be too warm. For 3 years I have searched and I think I have finally found a bag worthy of carrying this liquid life saver - the canvas disc golf bag!

Made of 100% canvas and American made, the NutSac disc golf bag was designed to hold your discs while out playing. On a hot spring day I was playing disc golf in the backyard and the epipen was safely resting at the bottom of my bag. I left the bag outside in the direct sun accidentally when we went inside for lunch. The canvas acted as natural insulation and after a couple of hours in the direct sun (in which we suffered our first sunburn of the season), the epipen lay cool as a cucumber.

The NutSac canvas bag was designed by disc golfers, for disc golfers, but this bag is also perfect for outdoor enthusiasts that need to carry epinephrine, and works as a small tote for the beach or pool, hiking through the woods and much more! Because of its durable duck canvas material which offers an extra insulation to the sun's hot and powerful ultraviolet rays, the canvas bag is the best for carrying my child's liquid life saver- epinephrine. Spring through Fall is stressful enough without worrying about the epipen becoming too hot to be a life saver. As a Mother, I am content knowing the epipen will stay within the proper temperature inside my American made canvas bag!
