So we have the cheap ice chest discussion going.
Got me thinking about the other sites thread.
For those searching tech...
How about the "how to make it last" tech?!

I have an engle 56, bear proof where the wallyworld units likely are not, and use dry ice to good affect,( 3-5#) wrapped in newspaper in a ziplock bag (keeps the ice clean when melt happens).
Placement and amount is key.
Put it on top= freezer
Put in on the bottom it helps not freeze everything solid.
you need to vent the lid with fishing line to help not blow the seals out acording to engle.

No doubt the drain the water, not drain the water will rage again.
Stuff like keep it shaded, closed, separate drinks and food.

Whatcha got?

Depends if you want reduced capacity. You can make your own Feti. The short answer is, one or two inch foam and foil tape. Lay hell to it and you'd be surprised how well they do. I made one and it works like a champ. I can put regular ice in it and it lasts for a few days. However, I had to trade off capacity but thems the breaks.
 
Have always wanted a 12 or 24vdc cooler, just didnt want to spend 1K+ to possess it.
