How to Guide?
If you need to keep food/drinks frozen for an extended period, like for camping or a road trip, dry ice can be used to convert a cooler into a freezer!
Dry ice is a no-mess, clean way to freeze goods. It keeps food/drink frozen longer than regular ice, and it doesn't leave behind a wet, watery mess like regular ice will. Dry ice "sublimates" which means it evaporates into thin air. It's a great solution for road trips, camping, sailing trips, and more.
Safety Precautions
The exact temperature of your cooler (now a dry ice freezer) will depend on the amount of dry ice you use, the size of your cooler, and amount of food/drink inside the cooler.
Always handle dry ice with care and wear gloves whenever touching it. An oven mitt or towel will also work if gloves are not handy. If touched briefly, dry ice is harmless, but prolonged contact with the skin will cause injury similar to a burn.

Freeze Longer with Dry Ice
To increase the insulation within the cooler, you’ll want to put a layer of insulation at the bottom of the cooler, like newspaper, towel or cardboard. On top of the first insulation layer, add your food/drinks that you’d like to freeze.
Add the dry ice to the cooler. (the typical cooler you’d take camping), you’ll be able to fill your esky / poly box with the dry ice pellets, above your items that you’d like to freeze. Dry Ice Blocks are available as these can be wrapped in newspaper to help keep your goods frozen and avoid children touching the dry ice.
The more you keep the cooler closed, and the more the cooler is insulated, the longer the dry ice will last.
