1. buy a cooler (big, 50 gallon type)
2. Buy a lunchmate size cooler (little, like the kind kids take to school)
3. Put ice packs inside the little cooler, with the bacon _on the bottom_.
4. then put the little cooler inside the big cooler, and fill the big
cooler with ice.
5. Make sure, over the course of your journey, that you drain out all the
water from the big cooler and add more ice.
6. Finally, don't forget to wrap the big cooler in as many blankets as you
can find. thermal insulation is good.

this formula can keep meat frozen during eighty degree weather.
