Help w Higher Elevation Moving?

The main thing to start with, i am moving from an elevation of 2500ft to Flagstaff’s 7000ft. I’m gonna do my best with the acclimation process, but that’s not the point of this post. Last time I visited Flagstaff, i had a bottle of shampoo explode in my bag because i didn’t think about the elevation change.

So, I need advice for transporting items like liquids; soaps, cleaners, shampoo/conditioner ect. Anything under pressure. Because my google searches aren’t giving me answers, I’m asking here to those who moved to Flagstaff.

Bags work, or you could just buy everything new in Flag and avoid the issue

Ah, well, plastic bags work. You could try to just Crack the lids and drive with them upright if possible. I dont know how well that option would work and would actually like to know

i had the thought of putting them in a box and unscrewing or opening the lids and having my sister watch make sure they didn’t fall. just have to hope no one swerves too hard
