Used techni ice box.
I get 3 days out of mine with a carton and 5kg of ice

Don't get a blue esky as the lids warp in the sun.

[Marck]

As in the colour or is that a brand ?

[shep]

All the blue ones I have seen warp lids when in the sun.

white reflects heat (energy) and therefore stays cooler longer then colored boxes.

Thanks grabbed a Waco cool ice 55 litre. It's white and the walls look to be about 50 mm thick. And the best part was the price. $160 from bcf after they price matched with tent world.

I would have gone the techniice but it would not have made it here before I head away for holidays.

I have one of these. 3 days camping at Easter and there was still ice when we got home

i normally run a beach towel doubled over on my eski and wet it down with river water ect... i get much longer duty cycles from my ice..
also any bottled water i take a pre freeze it to add ice content...
then when head out fishing ect, i can use one frozen water as a ice brick in my 6 pack cooler to keep my lunch and drinks cold

I have a tropical ice box esky and have packed it with frozen meat and it was still frozen solid 5 days later,

[Marck]

I had a good look at the tropical ice boxes I just didn't like the shape or the price. the ones at bcf where all long and skinny

find some where they can sell you dry ice, get a block before you go but only for frozen stuff... not beer ect as it will freeze everything and waste good drinks!
