"Yeti Cooler" is a good one but gonna run you a few bucks,always cool off the cooler before you plan to use freeze some big pop bottles of water and few hours before you are heading out throw them in there to cool,ice lasts way longeer this way and another prob you are having could be the keystone light hehe :beer

X2 probably the best coolers made but def gonna set you back a bit. also use a lil dry ice to keep it cold if possible. i think yeti has a few tips on keeping ice longer on their web site

If you have a large chest freezer with enough free space, I would recommend putting your cool box in there 12 to 24 hours before you depart..

Fill it with ice and your frozen good as per normal, but leave the lid off or open while its in the chest freezer.

Once the cool box is removed, I find this extends the life of the frozen goods inside considerably.

I would also recommend buying a couple of smaller cool boxes rather than one big one...Pack it based on your estimated daily needs so that you empty one cool box before having to delve into the other...

Regards and best wishes on the 4th July,
