[quote=Anonymous]To keep food cold in a cooler longer, use big blocks of ice rather than bags of ice cubes. I save cardboard containers from orange juice or milk, wash them out, fill with water (leave at inch at the top for expansion room) and freeze. A couple of these will keep a cooler cold for a couple of days. For multi-day car camping, I pack two coolers: one with everything we need for the first couple of days, the second with everything we need for days 3-4. The second cooler has a few of these big blocks of ice, and anything that can be frozen is packed frozen (e.g. a batch of chili made ahead of time and frozen). The second cooler doesn't even get opened until day 3, and it's always still nice and cold inside with plenty of ice left. After day 4, we're on to shelf stable foods only, or a trip to the store for more ice.[/quote]
