How to Pack a Cooler The Right Way
Baby, it’s cold inside.
We have all been prepping for a trip and when it comes time to load up the cooler- we end up stuffing that thing like a thanksgiving turkey. Leave the stuffing to the bird’s behind and follow our 2 minute read for this simple cooler packing hack in our How to Pack a Cooler The Right Way.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: Open up the cooler and toss in some ice at least 8 hours before the trip.
Step 2: Toss out that ice and use the now pre-chilled cooler for packing.
Step 3: Lay Thin Ice Tray’s/sheets (thinly) on the bottom of the Ice Chest
Step 4: Pour a layer of ice on top of the layer of ice trays
Step 5: Use one side of ice chest for food/re-packaged food and pack around like Tetris
Step 6: Use other side for drinks and stack upright as close to each other as possible
Step 7: Lay another layer of ice on the top, being sure it falls in and fills open spaces.
Step 8: Any extra thin ice tray sheets, place on top of ice.
Step 9: Shut lid, and head out!
duuude TIP:
If you don’t have thin ice tray sheets, still use the bottom as a base layer and add a little more ice. Once you start taking items out of the cooler, simply re-wedge items back into place as you need. Do not use packaging that is not water-proof or at least resistant as you don’t want soggy food contaminating the ice.
