Lloyd,

Why not make it yourself?
The problem with buying block ice is the quantity usually sold will half fill your icebox, leaving less room for food, etc.

I have two containers that produce ice about three inches (75mm) thick in my home freezer and when placed side by side, cover the bottom of my Evakool. I could make them thicker, but that reduces the amount of storage space for food and drink.
I usually add a bag or two of crushed ice and the ice lasts for about 5 to 8 days, depending on where I am and the ambient temperature over that period.

Having said that, I seldom take an icebox on extended trips as availability on replacement ice is often not worth the effort and the space can be better utilized for other gear.

I use 3l plastic milk containers and they pack well.
Cheers Pete
