Re: [RC] Keeping food cold and safe to eat - Susan E. Garlinghouse, DVMWhen I was camping with a cooler, I did a lot of tuna sandwiches. Instead of risking the mayo going bad, get a bunch of those little packets of mayo from fast food restaurants or Smart & Final type stores, and mix up the tuna with the mayo just before you eat it. Nothing needs to be refrigerated, no tummy troubles and it all tastes good! (You might also try a chunk of dry ice in the cooler to keep other perishables cold---my stuff always went the other way and was frozen solid).

I have tried ice, but of course, I have to bring it from home, and it usually melted within 12 hours - then I just have a cooler full of cold water. That still works for drinks but some plastic food containers and packagings are not waterproof! Soggy food is gross. I also have some ice paks, but they are not all that cold or get warm fast. I would love to bring tuna sandwiches, but putting mayo in anything that I can't put in a fridge scares me a little. I had food poisoning once from mayo going bad and it was hell! Any ideas (So the food stays cold until Sunday, not just Saturday morning!)? I am on the beginner low- budget system, so I sleep in a tent and sleeping bag and only have a cooler to work with.
