if you are too worried about handling dry ice,simply wait until midnight,preferably with a full moon,and leave it in a nearby woods.The sight of a thick misty fog,crawling slowly from the dark woods and creeping across the fields towards a campsite full of tents,would be spectacular and great fun.Just remember NOT to tell anybody.You'll have a great nights sleep,nodding off to all the sounds of sudden screaming,packing up and running off.
Dry Ice was an old Hammer Horror and Universal Film making trick,to have mist and fog creeping around the sets.

Yay really hope it is as effective as it was for us, but remember you'll have to take the frozen food out the day before if you are going to have it, Because it gets rock hard.

Great stuff Dry Ice - you can get the blocks that are wrapped in paper packets, much easier to handle.

If you do get some don't forget to drop in bit in someone's cup of tea, turns it green and bubbles like mad for about 5 minutes!!!!

Hi i think you might be back now, looking at your time camping dates.

Wondering how did you get on with the dry ice? Was it as successful as my trip?

looking rorward to hearing.

Yes we`re back.....the weather was scorching for the first 2 days, but we still had frozen food by the Monday.....then it seemed to disappear overnight,

So thanx for the tip.....I`m thinking the ordinary cool box might have struggled with the heat those few days.
