I love the idea of this but what I'm really missing is a test showing how they behave in a cooler. How long do they last? How do they compare to ice? How do they compare to a some standard bought ones?

@theoutdoorempire 2 месяца назад

I haven't done that test, but it's an interesting idea.

@joelmoody3029 14 дней назад

Fill up party balloons with water. Throw them in deep freezer.

@seanlong9049 10 дней назад

How about a test of various kinds of DIY ice packs compared to store-bought ones? Use a dozen cheap foamie coolers at the same time to keep the results comparable. And how about tips/tricks for using bottles or other hard containers instead of leaky bags? Water in a sealed bottle will expand and break the bottle but what about water with additives or freezing it with the bottle lid open or loose to allow for the water to expand?

@daphlavor Год назад

I use, salt water in old half gallon milk bottles, also frozen water bottles stay frozen in a lunch bag or soft side cooler bag for a long time, in a hot car, or at the beach.

@theoutdoorempire Год назад

It's hard to beat a frozen water bottle. Love the half gallon milk jugs of saltwater idea! Thanks for sharing.

@hippy5088 3 месяца назад

Will salt ,water , and rubbing alcohol work ?

@bobjackson4720 Месяц назад

I made ice packs out of lengths of plastic tube, sized for the cooler box. Water+ 10% salt. Leave a little space in each for expansion.

@allenterrell5954 11 месяцев назад

Plastic bags will leak every time. Use food bags heat sealing bags. They will last a lot longer I would still double wrap them. When you freeze them it uses a lot of electricity. Just fries one at a time

@theoutdoorempire 11 месяцев назад

Great suggestion thank you!

@Nobody95008 4 месяца назад

If i add my salt water in bottles to freeze, will i get same results

@theoutdoorempire 4 месяца назад

Yes, that'll work.

@healthy2202 Год назад

How much more or less does the salt water expand when frozen?

@theoutdoorempire Год назад

I didn't measure it, but about the same as regular water would when frozen, I'd say.

@recklesskiller3337 6 месяцев назад

Would it be stupid to put the sponges in salt water and freeze it? Would it last longer that way too or does it not matter?

@theoutdoorempire 6 месяцев назад

I don't think that'd be stupid at all. Salt lowers the freezing temperature of the water, so I'm not sure they will last longer necessarily, but they will likely be colder to start.

@lrb1651 Год назад

I used the 2 c. water / 1/3 c salt option. My bags wouldn't freeze solid, even after more than 24 hrs. in the freezer. More like slush. Are they supposed to freeze solid? If so, not sure what I did wrong. :/

@theoutdoorempire Год назад

I had to turn the temperature down on my freezer to get them to freeze solid then man were they cold! An easier solution is probably to decrease the salt to water ratio by half or more. You could take those same ice packs you made, mix them with the same amount of pure water, then make double the ice packs and they should freeze easier. The more salt, the lower the freezing temperature.

@lrb1651 Год назад

@allaric46 Год назад

Which one stay cold the longest?

@theoutdoorempire Год назад

From what I've seen I'd say the salt ice pack, then the soap.

So you don’t recommend buying ice packs? Asking because didn’t find videos comparing them, just the coolers

@theoutdoorempire Месяц назад

Honestly I rarely use ice packs and almost always use just ice. I may do a comparative test of ice packs sometime, but I'm not yet convinced they're worth it.
