UG, I use 3 average size boxes, coleman box (Steelbelted) is steel, foam with plastic box liner,about 24x15x14 outside rectangle, inside 12x21 base 13 in. hieght. I use it for water, ice. It holds 10 frozen bottles standing. It has a working drain. Aside from a manufacture date of 2-93, and a child safety warning there was no model number. The thing is airtight with a metal clamp outside.

Igloo plastic box has no drain hole, Coleman plastic box has broken drain, these are not airtight. They are also aout 2'x1' rectangles. I use these two for food, perishables go in igloo with a frozen water bottle. When I swap out 2 liter bottles daily, I drink icy water.

In the steelbelted, when I have room, I put in beer and sodas, and purchased ice in 1 gal. baggies. I have a soft cooler with wheels I put sodas in.

The PBR cube is in the trunk with the soft cooler, my stoves, lamps, radios, kitchen stuff and electronics. Underwear, socks, and go- home bag is in there too. First aid kit is under the drivers seat with the fire extinguisher behind the seat.

I crush bottles for recycling to make room, put in recycle bag. I crush food cans and put in steel can recycle bag. I take crushed aluminum to center camp recycling. I'm going home with less than I brought, most of that in the port-o-potties.

Some folks just use cardboard boxes to haul food and burn them up. I like to use my coolers to keep out the dust. My 3 boxes fit easily on my back seat. Everything else goes on my tiny trailer, except for my primary bike which goes on my bumper hanger. Rugs, tents and shade, bedding, and clothing bags. Gifts and art go in duffles and boxes. 4 wheel pedal bike, spare bikes (3), wheels, parts (extra pedal bolts this year.) Rope bags, extra stuff, and maybe a hitchhikers stuff, rounds out the load. I'm leaving my passengers seat open this year, refining my load, maybe take one ticket holder passenger.

Oh yeah, don't buy bottled water. Reuse your plastic bottles, then recycle them.

Thank you for the data, citizen.

This is a good time to clean out the old icebox kiddies.

Which model of Coleman did you use there, Oldguy? I got an Extreme.

Most my water is staying out of the freezer, since we'll have a cooler with Gatorade powder and we'll buy in ice for that.

Also consider in the final day or two, you'll be into drinking that meltwater.

The following experiment was performed on little chicks. One group was given ordinary water to drink, while the other was allowed to drink only snow melt water with pieces of ice floating in it.

The test could hardly have been simpler. But the results were surprising. The chicks drinking the ordinary water would do so serenely and without fuss. But the basin of melt water was always a virtual battlefield. The chicks swallowed the water as greedily as if it were something unusually tasty.

A month and a half later the experimental birds were weighed. Those brought up on melt water were much heavier, had gained more weight than the chicks which had been drinking ordinary water. In a word, snow melt water possesses certain wonderful properties. It is very beneficial to live organisms. Why is this so?

At first it was thought to be due to the higher deuterium content in the melt water. In small concentrations heavy water stimulates the development of living organisms. But this was only partly true. Now it is believed that the true reason lies elsewhere, in the very process of melting.

UD, I used the 6 day extreme last yr with great results. I still had mostly frozen gallons of water at the end of the burn. The 2L bottles thawed during, and were great to drink. I kept a wireless thermometer inside, 34 deg. in the morning, 44-ish in the afternoon.
