Pro Tips

✓ Pre-chill the cooler with ice 30 minutes before loading — this doubles ice life
✓ Aim for a 2:1 ice-to-content ratio for best results
✓ A beverage tub frees up cooler space for food and reduces how often the lid opens
✓ Block ice lasts longer than cubed — buy block ice for the bottom layer
