It will work. We used to do something like that when going to Chitna to dip for salmon. If we were going to be there for a week (sometimes the salmon run was spotty) we'd take a chest freezer and generator. We'd clean the fish each night, wrap and freeze them. That way we didn't have to rush home and there was nothing left to do but divide up the salmon when we got there.
If we were only going to be there for a couple of days, we'd fill the back of one of the trucks up with ice. After you turned off of the Richardson Hwy onto the road to Chitna, there was a campground with a large (10' diameter) culvert under the road. It would still be half full of ice from the winter. We'd load up a truck, put the salmon in the ice and cover them with a couple layers of tarps. Worked fine for three to four days.
