Camping And Traveling With Dry Ice

A surefire way to keep your food safe while traveling is with dry ice!

One of the many uses of dry ice is that it can protect your food during a camping trip or a road trip. The key is knowing how much to use and how often dry ice needs to be replaced. Here is an easy guide that will give you all the information you need to embark on your adventure and ensure that your food does not go to waste.

How Much Dry Ice Do You Need?

Ideally, you want to use between ten and twenty pounds of dry ice per twenty-four hours. Dry ice is sure to keep all your food from going bad in an ice chest. Typically dry ice comes in packs which can be placed individually to maintain the proper temperature.

How To Pack Dry Ice

When dry ice is placed on top of any food, it will store better. However, there are some people who prefer to pack their dry ice at the bottom of their ice chest for convenience. Although this method will work to store your food, it is not the ideal solution for making sure that your food does not go bad. Whenever you begin to pack your container make sure that there is no filler space. This means you want to fill the container with newspaper or other paper materials to fill whatever unused space you may have. Dry ice tends to quickly melt when there is dead space in a container. Styrofoam is probably the best material you could use to line your container to ensure that dry ice lasts as long as possible.

Driving With Dry Ice

When you are embarking on a long road trip or simply traveling a long distance with dry ice, it is essential to make sure that you pack it as close to leaving as possible. If possible, you want to pack large items around the container such as sleeping bags to allow the dry ice to last a long time.
