#1 Buy a Good Quality Cooler

#3 Prep and Organize at Home
Minimize the amount of time going into your cooler by prepping and organizing your stuff at home first. Also, try and make sure everything that can be cold or frozen is cold and frozen when packing it inside the cooler.
#4 Ways to Cool The Cooler
Use ice packs, silicone ice molds, or regular ice cubes when preparing your cooler. Just remember that you want twice as much ice to food. For example, if you have a third of your cooler full of food, then you want two-thirds of it full of ice. The best way to keep your cooler cool is a combination of these things.
#5 Time
Minimize the amount of time that you’re opening and closing the cooler. When you open the cooler, you’re letting all that cold air out and warm in, causing the ice to melt faster.
