stutheblue Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Back in the 70's when I used to camp all the time on holidays, all the camp sites used to exchange the Thermos ice blocks that you put in cool boxes. When yours has thawed you exchanged it for a frozen one. Do you know if there are any stalls at Glastonbury that do this? I am sure there would be a fee but I didn't see anything like this last year.

hazey_jane Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Never seen one in the four years I've been there but that's such an excellent idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jameshunt Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I have never spotted anywhere doing that either. We have bought an Igloo Maxcold which should keep things cold for up to 5 days! Looking forward to testing it! http://www.leisureshopdirect.com/camping/k...x.aspx?aff=122# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneCircle Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) That's fantastic! The fish measuring ruler moulded into the lid is a must have. Edited April 22, 2009 by StoneCircle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toilet Duck Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 ...I'm still amazed that this and, more simply, an ice selling stall hasn't caught on at glastonbury yet....at the electric picnic the ice stall is so popular that they usually run out and have to go and get more...they make an absolute killing, and all you need is a freezer truck!

Laura_Babs Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 It seems like such a good idea. I wish someone would do it! Last year I read somewhere that if you get those silver emergency space blankets, they are great for keeping drinks cool. I bought a couple, put one over our crate of beer and it worked well. Obviously not as well as ice or ice blocks but it certainly kept it cooler than nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
