[QUOTE="SlimeTime, post: 52924, member: 651"] So there's 2 reasons I never saw them :mrgreen: Something else I do is to save gallon milk jugs & rinse them out well. Then I fill them about 3" from the top & toss them in the freezer. When I need ice for the cooler I just grab whatever I need. I don't bust them up, jug & all goes into the cooler.....when I get home, they go right back into the freezer. It comes in handy if it's hot out, you'll always have a cold drink of water :wink: I do the same with 1/2 gallon jugs that you get fruit juice in. Usually keep one just for sweet tea, they fit in a cooler pretty well also. If I need just ice, I just slice the jug open with a utility knife, bust up the ice, and toss the jug into the recycle bin.....plastic containers are easy to come by. Back in the "day", most milk (gallons & 1/2 gallons) came in waxed-paper cartons. I remember dad used to have a freezer full of ice for weekend camping trips. He had a large cooler (had to have been 100 + quart) that he used just for extra ice for the coolers. He packed the frozen milk cartons in sawdust, in the cooler.....it stayed frozed all weekend to transfer to the smaller coolers as the ice in them melted. ST [/QUOTE]
