Interesting, I never put a thermometer inside to check temperature.

I do know that with the bag in cockpit and shade, with any breeze passing over, the butter was so cold it was a pain to spread, cheese was solid and vegetables kept as long as they would have in fridge ? certainly long enough to be used as normal.

That was without the new bags available now to put greens in, inside fridge which extends longevity.

Altogether, quite a satisfactory cheap system under the circumstances.

Montblanc, we used to cool our beers we had stored in APC, by digging a trench in sand, puttying cans in, covering with sand and tipping petrol over them.
this was ignited and when burnt out, presto, ice cold beers, much to the Grunts envy
