Camping tips 101.1

Don't you hate it when you fill your cooler to go camping and about a day in you open it up and a good portion of your ice is melted and your food is all soggy? Totally bites I know. Well something I learned from dear old Mom can help solve that problem. Instead of using bags of ice, save your 1 or 2 liter bottles (I prefer the 1 liter) , fill them with water and stick them in the freezer. Not only does this save you the hassle of squeezing cups of water out of raw hamburger it saves you money. This is also a great way to plan ahead for unexpected trips, especially for you all with 72 hour kits. You can quickly throw them in with perishables and be on your way escaping impending disaster. I try to keep at least four bottles in the freezer so that I can just throw them in the cooler and go (whether camping or escaping Armageddon). For those who have regressed intellectually: DO NOT FILL THE BOTTLES UP ALL THE WAY!!! Remember water expands when it freezes. Do the math (hopefully you have not regressed so far that you can't do the math).
