I freeze 1/2 gallon milk jugs for the cooler, they have handles and won't roll around like 2 liter bottles do but mostly I freeze my own ice blocks using a tub something like this one: http://www.walmart.com/ip/40977738?r...ingMethod=p13n

I fill it about 4" deep and it makes a good solid 25 lbs block of ice that lasts all day in the fish cooler

You use these in conjunction with ice to make it keep longer... Not as the main cooling agent

I throw a frozen two little in the cooler before putting everything else and the ice, and it keeps noticeably longer. These look like a great alternative that wouldn't be as cumbersome.
