storing food if your tent is far from your car

[Mr. Geppetto]

I like to take old plastic gallon bottles and freeze them for starters.  When the ice melts, the water is still in the bottles and you can drink it.  Four gallons in the bottom of my cooler usually last three or four days before I have to buy ice.

Also saves you the horror of discovering a bag of bacon that didn't get sealed all the way and is now covered in cooler-water-sledge.

Thanks Swander 
Because you are listening (thank you  ) I'll share a little secret. 

Go down to your local thrift store and purchase a whole pile of big fluffy bath towels. Place them over your coolers placed in the shade and copiously irrigate those bath towels morning, noon, and night. Your blocks of ice will last way longer if you keep those towels damp.

YES, the block ice lasts waaay longer. It'll keep your drink ice frozen!   

Which begs the question......Can I get block ice in T-Ride?

I know the gas station by Lawson carried block ice last year.
