1. A container comprising:
a storage volume configured to store a payload;
a thermal insulation layer surrounding the storage volume;
a thermoregulation layer surrounding the thermal insulation layer, wherein activation of a chemical reaction in the thermoregulation layer produces an endothermic reaction or an exothermic reaction, the thermal insulation layer has R-value per inch configured to expose the payload to a desired temperature to ensure viability of the payload and dampen a temperature spike so the payload is not damaged from the activation of the chemical reaction;
a first chemical reactant in the thermoregulation layer;
a second chemical reactant in the thermoregulation layer, wherein the activation of the chemical reaction between the first chemical reactant and the second chemical reactant is configured to produce the endothermic reaction or the exothermic reaction; and
a divider between the first chemical reactant and the second chemical reactant, wherein breach of the divider causes the activation of the chemical reaction.
