Re: best camp cooler
KCScout, removing the water makes the ice last longer as air and solids transfer heat at a slower rate, keeping the ice frozen longer to keep the air and solids in the cooler at a cold temp. The cold water makes your solids colder faster, but once they are ice cold, the water just rips you off by melting the ice at a faster rate. Yes, the ice lasts longer when you keep the water inside at a minimum. Lower the mesh bag of cubes into the lliquid water in a clear glass or jar, and notice after a couple of minutes that the ice melts faster under the water than it does in the air. The air insulates the outside surface of the cubes and makes them last longer.
