How to preserve gummy bear edibles

So, I am going on vacation to a non-medical state, and I bought a bunch of the edipure gummy bears to take with me.
Anyways, I am going to be flying, and I am taking the edipure gummies out of the original packaging and putting them in a normal gummy bear package just to be safe. The edipure gummies are almost identical to the ones that actually came in the package, so not too worried about getting caught. Plus I know tons of people who have flown out of the airport I am flying out of with large amounts of BUDS in their carry on, so I don't think TSA will be tripping about some gummy bears.
My question is this - since I have to take the edipure gummies out of their original packaging before I leave, I am a little worried about them spoiling before I can eat them all on my two week vacation.
Does anybody know any easy way I could preserve these gummies? I was thinking about putting a bunch of table salt in the bag of gummies in hopes that it would help inhibit the growth of mold or bacteria somewhat.
Do you guys think that is a good idea?
I will not be able to refrigerate the gummies during my travels, so that is not an option.
The only reason I am worried is because the edipure gummies seem to have a little more moisture than the average gummy. If they were all dried up like sour patch kids or something I wouldn't be worried, but for some reason I feel like these could potentially go bad pretty fast.

dry them out before hand?
otherwise i doubt they will go bad unless you are flying for days on end.
don't add salt to the package that reeks of not normal. you could also dry and powder them and capsule them up if you are going full bush away from cooling technology.

Just put em in a ziplock bag, the ones with the zipper thing...and squeeze the air out. And don't leave em like in a car or hot room. Should just be like regular gummy stuffs,no?
Salt on the gummies would taste weird af I think

Yeah, you guys are probably right. I might be over thinking this with the salt. I was just going to dust the salt off them, not too worried about taste.
I think I am going to let them sit in the fridge for a bit. I was reading online about gummy bear making recipes, and it said to leave them in the fridge until they reach the "desired level of firmness".
I think I am going to try putting them in their for a while so that hopefully they dry out a little.
What worries me is that they seem very "fresh".
Like very chewy and soft still at this point.
Hopefully letting them sit in the fridge uncovered will do the trick and harden them up/dry them out a bit.

I really wouldn't even bother. They won't spoil, they're basically sugar right? Is there a list on the pack of ingredients? I'm pretty sure you don't have to worry about them spoiling dude.

Yeah, here is the ingredient list:
Sugar, Corn Syrup, Gelatin, Lactic Acid, Citric Acid, Sorbitol, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Fumaric Acid, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Standardized MMJ Extract (All Organic Co2 Elixir)
I guess they only thing that really worries me is the gelatin..

You'll be good I'd be more worried about them melting all over the place if they get too warm

Okay, thank you for the reassurance. That is exactly what I was looking for.
These are my chill pills.
If I am planning on being sober for two weeks and I know that is what I am going to do, it is no problem
But when I expect to be able to get stoned, and then CAN'T, well....that is when there is a strong possibility that I could lose my shit.
