Does anyone else do this (sacrifical ice chest)?
When I go boondocking, one of the things I place by my TT is what I call a sacrificial ice chest. It usually is one to two cheap foam ice chests, filled with ice, and various drinks (bottled water, Gatorade, Shiner Bock, and Guinness.) I usually then leave a sign stating its purpose (take one if thirsty, but please don't completely empty.) Right by it, I usually leave a couple cans of nuts.
So far, I have yet to have someone completely empty it, or steal the ice chests. They are the cheapie Styrofoam ones, so it isn't a big dent on the wallet, but they do remain there, perhaps a few drinks disappearing through the weekend.
The fact that the ice chests have not disappeared, nor all the contents have given me at least a spark of hope for humanity.
