Any old-fashioned rigid portable fridge (picnic style) + silica gel + 
what Karen said about fungus will serve well for that short time 
thinking in hermetic cheap storage; you can buy it on location cheaply 
and give it away to someone at return time.

It worked well in a sailing boat around the Caribean sea for +10 years, 
and we still use those cameras which havent needed any overhaul yet.

some examples:

Dry bags as those used by kayakers should work too, as well as 
ewa-marine underwater bags (which i dont recommend to shoot on land) 
but they are more expensive.
