I had a week long camping trip and layered the cooler with dry ice at the bottom and ice on top of that and put my things in it from there. I still had ice at the end of the week in my 45.
Im going on a hunting trip and want ro bring back the deer meat. My plan is to vac seal and freeze everything, then put it into a cheap(walmart style) cooler and put dry ice on top of that. Do you think that setup would last 36 hours with no thawing of the meat ?
I heard you shouldn’t keep dry ice in closed coolers cause they can blow up. I thought it was okay to do. Thanks for the video! Can’t wait for summer camping this year!
@@marka.monroe9539 it should only be left open to vent when using dry ice, even when using it in combination with regular ice. The dry ice will keep regular ice frozen longer, meaning there shouldn't be water for at least a couple of days if using both.
I use dry ice in my Rtic 45 for 5 day canoe camping trips. I 10 pound block of dry ice in the bottom, ice on top of that and the food and drinks on the top. Regular ice doesn’t even start to melt till day 3. Cooler is just cool at the end of day 5. Cooler in the Sun on 70°-90° days. Hope this helps. Cheers
Hi, do you think it would keep ice cream and popsicles frozen. Can the dry ice be in close contact with these? I greatly appreciate it. Thank you. Great video! Such a smart move on adding the snow.
It definitely would, just make sure to use enough dry ice. I buy dog food that comes frozen with dry ice, and it's in transit for 4-5 days before reaching my house, and the dog food is still frozen solid and super cold with ice crystals all over it. Definitely can handle some ice cream and popsicles. I'd recommend 1-3 pounds of dry ice, depending on size of your cooler. Also, you have to wrap the dry ice in some paper like he did in the video. Anything the dry ice touches directly will be colder, and anything you put under the dry ice will be completely frozen. So you could put ice cream/popsicles on the very bottom of the cooler, then a layer of dry ice on top of that, then a layer of regular ice on top of the dry ice, and then anything you want to just be really cold, but not super frozen would go on top of the regular ice.
@@obsf415 I think it means their seal has a way to allow ventilation of the higher pressure inside. But I could be wrong. There are no warnings about this on the Yeti website section about Dry Ice use, but there are warnings about ventilating your tent/vehicle, etc.
