COLD ICE CHEST FOR A WEEK!

Cheap and easy trick to keep your food cold during camping without having to get more ice!

We tried this for our camping trip. We still had solid ice and perfect food saving 4 days later with 5 kids going in and out!! Thank you for this video and suggestion.

This was a good video - great information. I think that this business about your cooler becoming a "bomb" is a myth. The dry ice will gas off CO2 for sure but it doesn't collect in your cooler under pressure. Even if it did, it would just pop the lid up a bit unless you have one of those coolers with the snap down clasp. Also when you mix dry ice with regular ice, the regular ice will stay frozen longer but it will eventually melt. WHen you leave the plug open on the bottom the resulting water will run out into your vehicle. This could leave your car smelling pretty bad (personal experience).

This is a good way to Crack a cooler after a few uses this way. You should get a piece of Styrofoam to put on bottom then sit dry ice on it. It will extend life of dry ice and save coolers integrity. That's if you care about your cooler and want to do this method from time to time.

Used dried ice for years when taking the kids camping. We would camp for 2 weeks with2 coolers. The cooler with the dried ice was our freezer and the other just to keep things cold. The system worked well especially since we would be up on a mountain with the town would be below.

I wish I'd thought of this before...🤦🏼‍♀️ Thx much for
the dry ice tip! n be safe out
there 🙏🏼🕊️💛✨

To separate the dry ice from touching the food, lay down a couple layers of aluminum foil and or wax paper.

The dry ice doesn’t turn into carbon dioxide, it is carbon dioxide. The process is called sublimation.

instead of ice, use the bluestuff that hardens in the freezer, throw that in on top of the dry ice, never have to use ice again this way.

If u don't put something between the cooler and dry ice it can crack your cooler

I've heard of this technique. Great job, thank you.

[qray]

Damn that's awesome!I never thought of it.thanks..

[squashum]

Problem is it’s very difficult to source

Dry ice gives off gas that will out you to sleep, not smart putting it in ur vehicle.
A high quality cooler packed with block ice and loose ice properly packed will keep for 5 days n.p.

That part about not making a bomb was a good thing to know 😂

If you poor water on dry ice it will be gone instantly, but you get some nice fog out of it

Thank you for the great tip! Going to try it on our turducken that arrived on the 15th and we aren't cooking it until Christmas.

it would be better if we could just buy water ice cooled to the temperature of dry ice because water has more than double the heat capacity of carbon dioxide and should therefore perform more than twice as well as dry ice if it was that cold. i imagine nobody sells super-cold ice just because it's dangerous to touch and you'd have alot of customers that don't understand water ice could be made dangerous, but it wouldn't be overly expensive and doesn't have that pressure buildup hazard since it's not expanding to a gas

[jakeoconnor]

Thats awesome, never thought of it. Thanks buddy!!

Thank you for a very helpful video. What if I am picking up frozen food and I want to keep it frozen for 4 or 5 days. Any hacks? Thank you.
