I was watching Myth-busters on the Discovery channel and they tested and found that adding Salt to your Ice will chill a beer faster than ice or ice water alone......Unless you have a fire extinguisher

I have been to parties where they have used the ICE CREAM SALT. It's a cluster of salt. I never used it at the 'roo. My group is in and out of the coolers all day. We just keeping piling the ice in. Possible 'roo chemistry experiment (amoung others)

so should you salt your cooler wvery morning since it lowers the freezing temp?
While this will make your cooler colder, it will be short lived since the salt is melting your ice - and once your ice becomes water it will warm back up. You would have to buy ice more often. I may be wrong, but this seems logical to me anyway.

We spend at least 100 dollars at least on ice the whole trip.!!!!!!!
1. keep your cooler in a car. 2. keep your cooler in a tent when you are not there. 3. keep your cooler in shade. (the point of 1 and 2) 4. freeze water bottles before you leave. line the bottom of your cooler with them. 5. thank me later.

I am not convinced that keeping your cooler in your car would be helpful (secure though), as temps inside your car get far higher than temps outside. The other tips are good though; it's all about keeping the cooler shaded. And my theory, which I will test this year, is that you should put a blanket or comforter over your cooler as that would keep it shaded AND blankets make you warm by trapping your body heat, so they should keep your cooler cold by trapping cold.
Take 2 5-day coolers, fill one only with bags of ice/ice bottles. Put everything else in the other with some ice. ONLY OPEN the ice cooler when you need another bag, and keep it shaded.

that is a good idea I just have a problem spending money on ice that isn't chilling anything considering u can get a big bag of ice there for a resonable price.....each morning we got ice we just brought our cooler with that had wheels and bought 2 or 3 big bags then wheeled it back to camp. This way if u have to walk far for the big bags (we did) our ice was kept cool plus bonnaroo in the morning is classic.
Get a cooler and then go to Publix and purchase a slab of dry ice, put something over the dry ice so as not to come into contact with it for it hurts very much. Then just put the items needing to be chilled in the cooler and wait a lil bit. Im nto sure how fast it is but Im sure its faster than ice.

Make shift fridge: Step 1: Find a large cooler and dry ice. Step 2: line the bottom of the cooler w/ dry ice. this stuff is cold so don't hold it bear handed. step 3: place a towel over the dry ice to insolate. place freezable drinks and ice bags on towel. The dry ice will keep you regular ice frozen longer...add salt if you want. Step 4: place un-freezable drinks and food above ice and bottles h20.
This should stay really cold for a long time as long as it doesn't get left open.
Ask me for shower and flag pole ideas if you need them.
FYI if you put salt in your ice, your beer will taste like saltwater. It will be all over the can or bottle, then on your lips. Believe me, I've done it.
frozen water bottles is the best way. dry ice is kind of a hassle. we froze a case of water bottles last year and they were still icy on monday morning
