01 Keeping food fresh

When you pack your ice chest for the trip, skip on bags of ice that will instantly melt away. Instead, freeze several water bottles and use them to insulate your perishables. Not only will they stay frozen much longer, as they do melt, instead of having a mess, you'll have a fresh supply of cold, refreshing water to drink.
