Coolers and Packing Them for Travel.

Most of our tarveling is done in desert enviroment.
The biggest problem is that every time you open the coller, you bring in hot air.
The solution is not opening the cooler..After T&a we settled with this settings:

We achieve this by dividing the food into 2 coolers.

one for the first-second day out, that contain what we need for these dyas,
The second one with the food for the next days' and kept closed until we need it.
The 2nd cooler contain frozen food.

cooling inside the cooler in done by frozen 1.5L water bottles, that afterward provide cool drinking water.
inside the cooler, on top of all the food , we place a towel, that keep the cool air inside the cooler, even when opened, and in that way, you can lift only one corner, to take out what you need, without exposing the whole cooler to hot air.

this setting allow us to keep the 2th coller colsed and cool for long time, and with the ColmanExtreme, to keep ice for 3-4 days.

But the best combination is a fridge+cooler.
We place the thing which require temp close to freezing, in the fridge, and shift the things for the current day to the cooler.
in the vacant place in the fridge, we fill in water bottles, so there is a cycle of cool drinking water.
