Evaporation Cooler : To make one, take a large cake or biscuit tin and stand it on flat stones or wood blocks in a tray of water. Drape a wet towel over the box so that the edges of the towel stay in the tray. The better the draught over the towel, the greater is the evaporation. Heat for evaporation comes from the water and from the metal box. Anything stored in the box will be kept cool, although not cold. Top up the water at intervals. This device works well enough to preserve perishable food for about as long as it would last in the middle of a fridge.

Read on a previous post that if you want to keep your beer cold, wet a sock, preferably a clean one, place bottle or can in the wet sock and hang from a tree or fence!

From what I've read on this site I imagine socks hanging from every branch on the camp site! lol
