I keep mine in a disposable styrofoam cooler in my basement cold storage room. Filled halfway with dirt and small twigs from the garden. I mix in a couple handfuls of paper shreddings. Then topped off with wet leaf litter. This keeps the moisture up and gives them plenty to eat. When I need more worms for the next trip, I just take another handful of leaves down with me. I never put worms back in the cooler. Once I've taken them out fishing, they stay in the small portable container. Placed in fridge and topped off until next trip. They last several months and even start reproducing. I often find several smaller ones in the cooler that I know I didn't put in in the spring. Let me know if you want a cooler. I have enough to share
