How long does Ice last in a cooler?!


Question:

How long does Ice last in a cooler?

Can it last up to 2 days?


Answers:

It depends on so many variables...
How full is your cooler?
Was everything cold BEFORE you put it in the cooler?
How hot are the days?
Is the cooler in the sun?

If I pre-chill everything, fill the cooler about 2/3 full of stuff, finish filling it with ice and keep it in the shade I have gotten 2-3 days without a problem. That is with my "normal" coolers. I also have a Coleman xtreme that will keep ice for 5-6 days under those same conditions. Days run 80-90 and nites in the 60s.
