Camping freezer.

[blue-eye-boy]

I wonder how many campers there are on mybb? I love camping, not out in the wild, but in a neat resort it's nice. I have most of my equipment already, gathered over the years. But I never got a freezer/fridge. If you know something about these stuff, any ideas where to start looking, apart form the big outdoor shops, who is just out to make loads of moola.

Why why why would you want to camp if you are not in the wild and forced to.

Nope thanx room service for me or i'm not going. I do not want to do the dishes when i'm on holiday.

I love camping but also do not have a fridge/freezere yet. Then again, I find a coolbox with ice works just as well for me

... not out in the wild, but in a neat resort it's nice. .

Then you don't really need an expensive camping freezer. If however you have a bit of tin to blow, Engel is the way to go ... unfortunately, unless you're prepared to shop around for a 2nd hand one, you're going to have to buy one from a "big outdoor shop" or one of the smaller boutique outlets like 4X4 Megaworld

Otherwise take a look at getting a quality stainless steel / fibreglass icebox - you'd be surprised how long they stay cold especially if you use hot ice as your coolant. I've had bitterly cold Windhoeks for over a week in Makgadigadi with a fibreglass box

They are awesum, friends got one, runs very cold. Definatly worth the money.
say away from anything that does not go way below 0 deg. (like these cooler thingies.)

Same here - ice packs and cooler bricks last me a weekend easy.

Yep, a decent cooler + vacuum pack your meat and it last for almost a week

Thing is we normally camp for 2 weeks. I know a cooler box can do, but it's not worth it. I have one now, but the vacuum packed meat didn't last a week. For a weekend a coolerbox can do, but not really longer but I think a Engel is way out my budged. Another thing is, I'd like the deep freeze to be 220V and 12V.

The cooler is just for the beer - real men hunt and forage for their supper.
