I would like to how some of you freeze block ice for your coolers. This June, I went to the Creation Music festival and camped out for five days in the middle of a field in the blistering heat. Before I went I filled up some jugs, and some of those 1 gallon Ice cream containers that you can get from walmart (I eat a lot of ice cream). At the end of 5 days, I still had some block ice left in those ice cream containers. My problem with them was that one cracked and filled my cooler with water. Is there a simple way to freeze block ice in a container where it won't crack the plastic? I was wondering if the container lined with plastic rap might help. What do the rest of you do. If the container hadn't leaked, I wouldn't have had any mess at all. I still had fresh milk at the end of those five days but I didn't like my parmazzon cheese laying in the water.
