May seem like a stupid question, but I was going to make an ice-cream bucket sized ice block last week to put in my cooler to help keep it cold all weekend, and didnt really think about the fact that the ice would freeze from the top down, and when it expanded, it busted out the bottom of my bucket - so lesson learned there.
Anyways, with a couple hunting trips coming up, I've begun to think about the best way to make ice blocks, what size to make, etc, so I figured I'd ask you guys since I'm sure some of you have experience with it while packing for your hunting expeditions.
Is pretty much my only option with an ice cream bucket to dump a little water into the bucket, wait for it to freeze, dump a little more, wait, and repeat over and over?
What about if I made like cool whip container sized blocks? Little smaller, so they obviously wont last as long as larger blocks, but will also fit in the bottom of my cooler much better. If I make blocks from those, do I still have to use the method described above, or can I just fill it with water and let it go?
Anyone use frozen water jugs in their cooler?
What do you guys use, and how do you make them?
