Depends on the Cooler Size. The cooler in the video filled with ice should last all night. Blue Ice Blocks last 20-30% longer from what I read.

if you put salt on the ice the temperature drops up to minus 1 degree celcius,so it will lasts much longer mine last of to one day!

It seems that you forgot to take with you on vacation, a good book !.Maybe a book on 'Scott of the Antartic' or 'Doctor Zivargo'; both of these are set in lots of snow -that may keep you feeling cool and better occupied, during your vacation..Favorited.Cheers.from,del-boy.

I thought about dry ice, but it gives off carbon dioxide as it melts. Probably a bad idea in a confined area like a tent. I would not recommend it.

can u use dry ice

I use blue ice blocks, and they last all night (7 hrs). From what I ready, blue ice blocks last 25-30% longer than regular ice, so "maybe" 4.5 hrs for regular ice in a 35 qt+ cooler

I think this is such a great idea. What a life saver. I also enjoyed the other comments. Very useful and helpful information. It's good to know that there are still people interested in helping other people and not just trying to squeeze another dime out of them. Thanks.

Good idea!

It depends on the size of the cooler. The larger the cooler, the more ice you can put in, the longer cooling time you'll get. I can get at least 6 hrs of cooling time using Blue Ice Blocks and a 36 Qt Cooler.I personally switched over to Blue Ice Blocks. They last 30% longer than ice, and does not give off as much moisture as ice. Another idea is to fill plastic water bottles about 80% full and freeze them (solution between regular ice and blue ice)
