Whether you’re camping in the great outdoors, taking a scenic road trip, or simply picnicking in the park, keeping fresh food properly chilled at a food-safe temperature is always a challenge when you’re miles away from the nearest fridge. Here are smart tips for packing a cooler or ice chest so food stays cold longer and nothing gets soggy or crushed.

Top Tips
• Chill all food and drinks before packing them.
• Seal food in waterproof containers to keep it dry and uncrushed.
• Keep the cooler as full as possible.
• If you can, have a separate cooler for drinks so the cooler doesn’t lose its cool every time someone opens it to get a drink.
• Keep the cooler in the shadiest spot you can find.
• Don’t drain melted ice water — it actually helps keep food cool longer. It’s true!
Seal food in waterproof containers and fill the cooler with ice.
