Choose the Best Ice Cooler Box for Camping

After hours of driving, you're now finally at your campsite. You're filled with joy and excitement and you're ready to set up everything. The tents are up, the sleeping bags are rolled out and the bonfire is set on fire. You gather your group and tell them that steaks and hot dogs will be ready in a minute or two. So far so good! The moment you open your ice cooler box, everything shatters. All of the ice has melted and your beer bottles aren't cool enough. Your perishable items and beverages were supposed to be fresh and chilled till your trip is over. However, not only the ice has melted, but none of the items are cold.

What went wrong here? Everything was okay, except your ice cooler box. Maybe, your cooler has served you well and now it's the time to replace it. Or, you've made a wrong purchase recently. Anyway, one thing is clear that your current cooler isn't fit for a perfect trip. So, you've to get a new one.


What makes a cooler the best for camping?

If you need an ice cooler box only for a few hours, you can choose any. I mean, any cooler can work here. However, when it comes to camping, you should take several factors into account. Here are the top three factors:

Ice Retention: Remember, it's not about a one day trip, you're going to be gone for a couple of days. Being in a place, where you've no access to anything for food, except your cooler, make sure you buy a cooler with the best ice retention property. It could be about your survival and an ice cooler with good ice retention will preserve food and beverages for you even for several days.

Durability: Your trip can be filled with unexpected things, especially if you find yourself in a rough terrain, boat or kayak. Hence, not only you, but also your cooler must be able to stand the trip. Pay attention to its construction and choose the one, which is durable in nature.

Lock-Ability: Chances are you'll find yourself surrounded with other people, who're camping too. So, you'd want a cooler with a lock ability to ensure that your perishable items are protected. Such coolers are helpful not only for protecting food from humans, but also from bears.

So, next time when you visit a store to buy an ice cooler, keep these three factors in mind.

Happy camping!
