Frozen Cup

Want to keep ice in your drink all day? Here is a trick. Put ice in a clean insulated cup and whip it into the freezer the night before. Here at DUN we try to kick plastic, so I skip individual water bottles. Instead I freeze a little water at the bottom of one gallon water jugs. Fill with cold water the morning of and pop the frozen cups into the cooler. When ready to drink, just open the lid and pour ice cold water over the ice. Keeps your drinks super cold all day.

Want to keep ice in your drink all day? Here is a trick. Put ice in a clean insulated cup and whip it into the freezer the night before.

When ready to drink, just open the lid and pour ice cold water over the ice. Keeps your drinks super cold all day. You can also freeze a koozie and that will help keep your cans super cold as well. No excuse to drink warm beer again!  Have a cold one for me and enjoy the last days of summer.

Bryozoans mostly eat algae, bacteria and other small one-celled animals. The

Magnetic Cups

Magnetic Cups

I love it when I can steal an idea from another passion to use in fly fishing. I'm a tinkerer.  I like to fix things and learn how they work.

Ice Packs

Ice Packs

The dog days of summer may be almost over, but we all still need to keep our food and drinks as cool as possible. I'm a Yeti cooler fan, but this trick works with any cooler.  I've learned that if I use the reusable gel freezer packs in combination with a quality cooler, my drinks and food stay not only cool, but dry as well. Keeping up with sanitizing my cooler is a much easier job without ice. Cleaning up the gel ice packs is a snap. You can wipe the freezer packs down after use while still pa
