EXTRA POINT
With no grocery stores near where we were camping for four days last week Mrs. BGA and I looked into buying a new cooler in advance of our trip to a remote state park in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. We weren't about to spend the money on a Yeti and after some research found a more reasonably priced alternative that promised to be almost as effective at keeping milk, eggs, meats and the like cold for an extended period.
Knowing block ice lasts longer over time, I chilled the cooler the night before we were leaving with cubes and on Monday morning layered 4x6 inch blocks two layers deep on the bottom of the cooler.
How did it do?
The last of the ice finally melted last night and I'm pretty confident if we hadn't emptied our remaining food from the cooler we would still have had ice this morning, a full week after loading it up. I'd say it was money well spent and that cooler technology has certainly come a long way since those clunky aluminum boxes we used back in the day.
