For really simple put them in a 5 gallon bucket with NO water. Keep them from baking in the sun and you'll be fine. I kept 18 eels that way in one bucket for a week in the back of the garage.
Any water at all and they will die. For example, my gf was kind enough to pick up a dozen for me once. Even though I told her - no water, and she told the bait shop owner - no water, they put a few inches of water in the bucket. An hour later when she got home, 3 were dead.
