A lot of us seem to have gone to "5 day" coolers, which is a lie... But, they are better insulated and hold ice longer... We put a plastic container inside to keep dry things away from the ice, and the ice around it, with cans and containers that can get wet in the ice... then we can drain it as we go....
I think ice lasts us about 3 days, but it depends on what you put in it (is it cold already?), how often it gets opened, and what the outside temperature is.... in Finland, you might need it to keep things from freezing at night../g/
