Hmmmm ... we do that with the cold packs that come with GC's meds. Line the bottom and sides of the ice chest and then dump ice on top. When we get back home I just pop them back in the freezer for next time.

Ya, they haul it in on a horse drawn wagon and use big oversized baby-grabber tongs to move it. Make sure to get some wood for your stove too.
Don't forget the sawdust for insulation!
lol. maybe if'n we get rich we can have one of them thar iceBOXES to keep squirrels 'n sech nice 'n cool.
I just freeze gallon jugs and when they melt I can drink the water.
I buy dry ice, wrap it in newspaper and then put my normal ice on top. The cold lasts a long time that way. Dry ice is available at various grocery stores and I wind up with less water sloshing around, as well as cold that lasts longer.
Be careful though, my boys & me did that a few years back to cool a watermelon. The melon got cold enough, but when we ate it, it tasted strange. We finally figured out that when the dry ice melted (or, evanesced), the carbonation had entered the melon and we wound up with a carbonated watermelon.

If you do it this way, your freezer should use less electricity too. It's my understanding the run less when they are full.
I froze some stuff in my cooler the other day with dry ice. Be careful, it may damage your cooler by freezing the plastic. 7 11 used to keep block ice at some stores.
would like some 50# blocks to put in the pool.
