Looong time off

So I am going away on a Military Leadership course next Tuesday. The one big problem here is that my trumpet will be taken away during this time. FOUR WEEKS!! . I have a BERP and a spare mouthpiece (same one I always use). But I also have an old leadpipe that was taken off my C trumpet and replaced by a Herseth # 25A. I know that buzzing the leadpipe can help sometimes, but when it comes to four weeks off, what would you guys suggest?

This is what I think:

Use the leadpipe for warming up and use the BERP as a buzzing aid for about 20 min a day (if I have the time and if poeple can deal with it).

Let me know what you think.
