[Rhodes22-list] Thermoelectric cooler

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Consider getting a Yeti.  They are expensive but are worth it.  You cant get a portable cooler that keeps ice longer anywhere! (Unfortunately i have no financial interest in yeti)

Another trick is to make solid ice blocks in your own freezer.  They will last longer than "drink" ice which is aereated and is less dense than block ice.  
So a yeti plus block ice should equal a whole long weekend of cold drinks with little thought or effort.
