For coolers, I bought a Pelican (like a Yeti). It keeps the ice forever. I also make blocks of ice using tupperware and it helps a ton. Heres my beer cooler from the weekend. 2 cases of beer, 1 large bag of ice and a couple blocks of ice. You can see I didn't even bother filling it up all the way. I put the ice in Thursday 7am. By Sunday it still had ice but ran out of beer in it. 92 degrees for 4 days and it held the ice no problem. I've had it still have ice after 6 days no joke. Not many coolers can do that when you are going in them.
My buddies all ran out of ice by the Sat AM and they had ice all the way up to the top. I also brought a second cheaper cooler for non alch. drinks and my ice was gone in that one by Saturday as well. I should had brought more beer had I know my buddy was going to drink mine instead of his cheap stuff :R
A good cooler goes a long way.
