Froze the water in jugs and just kept moving them from one to the other. The trail driving during the day was enough to keep the batteries up and the freezer working. Plus we had freezer space for frozen foods including ice cream. The only "con" back then was the cost of the ARB.

Great idea!
I have a $120, 1.1 cu. ft. mini freezer from Walmart that will freeze a couple gallon jugs of ice in short order.

Here is the link to the mini freezer I bought from Walmart, even though it now says correctly out of stock.

personally I feel like it was a waste of money.
I wish I had bought a 12 volt referg / freezer with some of the money I spent on ice over the years. I always ran out early but I go to shooting events and the use a lot so I can buy it easily.
I have been looking on amazon and they have so many I saw this video and it looks like the one I will buy ?
