Our local Walmart has a good deal on a huge cooler that's supposed to keep ice for 5 days. Does anyone have one and does it really keep ice that long?
I do the same thing but the block ice is a nice improvement. I might do that.When I camp out of a truck I take two coolers. One for food and one for drinks. The food cooler is stocked with block ice and is only opened to retrieve the foods to be used for a meal. The other cooler is for drinks and has cubed ice that is replaced every day.
Now that is a damn good and effective idea. I'm going to use that. Effective and versatile. Nice one! :tinysmile_fatgrin_tI freeze my own block ice by filling gallon jugs (milk containers) with tap water and freezing them. When they melt, they don't get the food wet. These will last five days if you keep the cooler in a shaded area and they provide drinking and cooking water for the last day or so once they've melted.
fantastic! we do the same with the 2 ice chests... but going to steal the block ice idea!When I camp out of a truck I take two coolers. One for food and one for drinks.
