Wonder if fishing/hunting stores will have block ice? Or it that mostly a thing of the past.
We did a similar thing. When camping with our five children, we had a large cooler, froze all our meat and a dozen quart cartons of milk. By only opening the cooler once or twice a day it kept us going for a week - in summer. On longer holidays we used dry ice in the cooler, which kept everything for a fortnight's trip.
