Is that even a serious post?
The bigger the volume of ice, the longer it will take to thaw.

Keep mine in a 1tr metal flask , I chill the flask with the top off in the fridge overnight pour chilled milk in and it lasts several hot days as long as you keep it in the shade.

The best thing anyone could do is buy a proper cool box and not waste money on the carp branded **** that's on offer.
I'm sure the new Korda cool box/bag is better than most but the ****s go and rip people with the silly price

I've got a trakker cool bag witch is good for keeping my food cool. And also a Shimano one witch I've had for years and that's been very good but just not big enough. I did put a load of ice cubes in the Shimano one for drinks the other day and 24 hours later there was still ice left in it
Milac Maid milk pots. Long life but tastes like normal milk

I'm a bit neurotic about food storage on the bank (did a qualification once) so have yet to find anything really suitable for more than 24 hrs (I don't take any chill food for a 48hr session). Most/if not all boxes will only cool for max 24hrs and must be well packed out with ice blocks. Other than milk, which you can solve with UHT, how does everyone else keep their chill food chilled for more than a 24hr session? Bearing in mind it needs to be chilled at 5c or below otherwise food bacteria grows at a rate that soon becomes unhealthy.

Ice blocks, frozen water bottles and common sense

My mate uses Baileys instead of milk in his coffee, gets a bit moorish though and no good if you're driving the same day.
Well I've brought some Sainsbury's own coffee mate. For this session. I'll give it a go. As it was only £2 for a big coffee jar size. If no good I'll Chuck it away

I've found frozen cartons of custard the best stay frozen for ages

I just take sealed packs of meat in original packaging (chicken, steak, bacon etc) and put then in a carrier bag with a ice block. sometimes I will freeze the meat in advance so that it can defrost over time. I always keep this carrier bag in a cool shaded area - under my bed.
As long as you cook thoroughly it will be ok, just really ensure it gets above 70oC core temperature. Most fresh food is flushed with nitrogen before sealing meaning that its a low oxygen environment in the pack - hence if you keep it like that its harder for bacteria to multiply with the lower oxygen levels.
I always use UHT milk for brews when fishing, not for fear of getting ill but more the fact that if the milk starts to turn it tastes rank.

They look great and turn into a seat with the cushion!
Great suggestion, going to get one of those

The Korum ruckbag is foil lined, and that has become my food bag.
I keep fresh meat in original packaging from the fridge in there for no more than 3 days, and meat that has come out of the freezer in plastic tubs for no more than 2 days. The same bag also has my fresh vegetable in it, onions, peppers and mushrooms.
As for milk, I usually only take (goats) milk in the winter for porridge, as I am happy, even prefer, to drink tea and coffee black. That keeps in the same bag.
