Myself and two of my family members drew cow elk tags here in my home state of Nevada. The scary part is that the hunt occurs in August, so meat care is a priority! We have a number of Coleman/Rubbermade 60 quart coolers, which in the month of August in Nevada will probably keep ice for about 4-5 days in the shade. And the closest town is about 2 hours away... Yikes.
We could either invest in a couple new YETI type coolers ($1,000+), or.... take my 14 cubic foot chest freezer. We'll have a travel trailer with a 5500W generator (w/ plenty of gas) to plug into. Wouldn't need it to run all day, just need to get it to temperature and fire it up in the early AM for a couple hours, while cooking breakfast and planning the day, and again in the evening for a few hours before calling it a night. It would be super nice to put meat right into a freezer. I just wonder if it keeps it cool enough when only powering it for 3-5 hours per day.
Anyone tried this...? thoughts?
Thanks!
