Effective cooler packing involves using the '2:1 Rule', which means filling one-third of the cooler with items and the remaining two-thirds with ice. Prior preparation is crucial; drinks should be refrigerated beforehand and the cooler needs pre-chilling with cold water. Begin packing by putting block ice or freezer packs at the bottom, then layering drinks and food. This method ensures that items remain ice-cold throughout the trip, avoiding disappointment from melted ice and soggy food.
To effectively pack a cooler, mentally divide it into thirds: fill one-third with items and the remaining two-thirds with ice. This '2:1 Rule' ensures drinks stay cold.
Items meant to stay cold should be pre-chilled in a refrigerator before packing. Additionally, pre-chill the cooler with cold water a day prior to the trip.
Start packing by placing block ice or freezer packs at the bottom of the cooler, then layer your drinks and foods on top, prioritizing cold retention.
