What does it mean for car camping?
By our cooler calculator (food, three drinks a day each, and ice at the right ratio), 48 quarts covers 2 people for 2 days, 2 people for 3 days, 4 people for 1 day.
Filling it at 2:1 takes about 38 lb of cubed ice. Estimated ice life at an 85F high in shade: about 6 days, as a planning figure rather than a lab result.
