We either take a deep freezer and generator with us and keep all the frozen food in the freezer and wrap it in a big blanket and such for the drive out west and the while we are gone hunting all day we leave the generator run on the freezer. The other method we use is a homemade box freezer that takes up a 1/3 of the trailer. Ply wood box insulated with sheet insulation (the pink stuff) then when we get meat lay dry ice or sometime even regular ice block but then you have to make a hole in the bottom so it drains the lay a thin sheet of hard plastic or plywood down then meat then another sheet of wood/plastic then ice again on top and replace when it runs low. This won't freeze meat but it will keep it cold so it depends on what or plan is with which we take. If we plan to go to town to have the meat frozen there then we take the box but if we don't then we take the freezer. We'll be takin the frezer to colorado the end of august for elk. Good luck. WCL
