We generally associate coolers with tailgating and camping, they can be used year-round as an effective way of keeping products cool without using any electricity. From Igloo to Yeti, plenty of companies sell high-quality, durable coolers in a reasonable price range. Homesteader Glenn Askew of British Columbia says he likes to dig a pit in the ground and layer it with dried grass and sawdust or wood chips. Then he puts his cooler inside, with ice and supplies, and tops it off again with another layer of dried grass. He says he finds his ice will last for several days using this method. In fact, a good, time-saving alternative to using a traditional electric refrigerator is to buy a large, durable cooler that you continue to stock with ice.
