Or an ice chest.

Yep.  Get your cold from a place with lots of electricity, and carry it to
the tentsite.

A good thing to do would be to bury the icechest in the shade, covered
loosely with boughs.  Make sure that your ice is COLD when you buy it. Use
big blocks of ice which are stored in a deep-freeze, and not little cubes
which are at 31.5 degrees when you buy them.

If you do it right, with a good quality ice chest, you could keep it cold
for a week between ice runs.

You can always improve upon ice chests also. Add extra foam over the top, sides,
and bottom. Throw your down parka over it. Keep it in the shade. Cover it with
pine boughs. .....
