Any Esky you decide to use, as well as filling it with ice fill it with salt water too.
Ice slurry in salt water will keep your beers chilled

I have one of these Scotty - its a ripper - keeps ice whilst camping for 3 days before a refill is required. We normally fill up 3 or 4 2 litre ice cream containers as ice bases as well. If its just beer for the footy I just use normal ice and a bit of water to speed up the cooling process - watched an experiment once on myth busters that confirmed water and ice is the fastest way (more surface area exposed) - add salt and it speeds it up even more. If its just me I just run a rolling fridge to freezer to mouth beer rotation policy. Works perfect.

An old 50 ltr keg with 3 layers of aircell, put 19ltr keg of home brew in fill with ice .lasts 2 days
completly portable and you don't run out

Are you adding ice to the beer? Wouldn't that water it down too much?

items required:

A cardboard ORICA "presplit" box, or similar heavy gauge cardboard box, plastic bin, fitters toolbox or the boot of the apprentices car.
2 x plastic [mylar?] liners of the type that are in detonator boxes,
A couple of shovelfuls of ammonium nitrate.
Slabs of "industrial lubricant" from wetmess.

Put one liner in the box or suitable container.
Add ammonium nitrate and water to about 1/3 volume,
Sit second liner on top and fill with tinnies of industrial lubricant.

They will be cold in no time at all,

The second liner prevents the ammonium nitrate slurry from direct contact with the tinnies.
Trust me - contact between tinnies and slurry, followed by tinnies and mouth is not a good thing.

After a few hours you can "reboot" the AN slurry by adding more water.

When finished - water the slurry down and dump on the lawn.

whose beer last long enough for ice????

^^ so i guess you guys love nothing more than after a nice 4 hour sail in the summer afternoon reaching into the car a cracking open a beer at 40 degrees?
Yummo

Just checked my BMI and it reads 40 and says I am obese. I am 187cm tall (6'2") & 137kg. Unfortunately the BMI doesn't take into account muscle mass and also the fact I am hung like a Shetland.

did you weigh yourself with or without your burqa on
