Portable Ice Makers
Went camping this weekend and forgot to grab some ice. Wasn't a big deal. Didn't end up needing it so much. Made a tray of it and it sufficed. Saw some people with a portable ice maker and thought it ...

When we're on the road we buy water to drink. So it only makes sense then to use bottled water for the portable ice maker. If I'm going to do that, I might just as well buy a bag of ice.
We have one and used it a few times.
I can see your point, but I can buy a gallon of purified water for less than $1. I want to say you can get it even cheaper at Walmart. How much ice does a gallon of water make? Even better, how much would two gallons make compared to the size of a $2 bag of ice? The one thing I like about it, is that we can make ice when we want it and have it. We can make as much as we want. We will be able to put it in a bin in the freezer and it will stay frozen. A bag of ice we will have to put in a cooler that's taking up more room than the Ice maker. Plus the ice is going to melt. A cooler would be out outside and depending on the temp, it will melt even faster. And then we have to worry about someone stealing our cooler as they did two years ago.
We have even gotten away from canned drinks. We have a soda stream and can make what we want when we want to. We have a few bottles to make different flavored drinks and those bottles fit in the fridge easily.
