How many coolers do I need to bring home about 200 LBS of butchered, packaged elk meat? What brand of cooler do you recommend?
I typically put dry ice in the bottom of my cooler, 1/4" of newspaper on top of the dry ice, the packaged meat on top of the newspaper, another 1/4" layer of newspaper on top of the packaged meat, and then dry ice on top. I close the cooler lid and seal the lid with duct tape. This method has worked very effectively for me in the past, carrying pronghorn meat 1,300 home from Wyoming to Texas.
I looked at some 50 quart coolers last night and thought maybe four 50-quart coolers would be enough, but then I began to doubt and worry about the size of the coolers. What guidance can you give me?
