Storing Camping Coolers

RE: Storing Camping Coolers Post By kcarskc (Guest Post) (07/07/2006) I had also put crumpled newspaper in one of my stored coolers. I left it there and put our extra ice which was all in a plastic bag, (to add to the meat cooler as needed) on top of it. It kept the ice insulated until needed and then I put the crumpled papers under the garbage can liner to stay dry for fire starters. When particularly hot outside I buy 5 pounds of dry ice for the bottom of the meat cooler. I also freeze my own ice "blocks" in cake pans. They are flat enough to fit right in the bottom of coolers. Muffin tins make large ice "cubes" for mugs also. We are avid campers and have it down to a science! Enjoying the other ideas as well.
