For most of us heading to the woods, it is going to be a hot opener weekend. Last year I finally gave up on my hackberry tree at one of my stands and moved in a ground blind. I was dreading sitting in a hot box so decided to do something about it...oh the things we do for hunting  $7 red igloo $4 flange and 90 $7 amazon fan Four bottles of frozen water It blows cold air! ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-22681-201951-06b3b487_f45b_4c17_a8e6_b38ac473e991.jpeg)

Have you tested it to see how long your ice lasts? With that small of a chest, I don't see it lasting too long.

Battery powered fan. Have you tested it to see how long your ice lasts? With that small of a chest, I don't see it lasting too long. Didn’t use ice. Used frozen water bottles. Where will you be this weekend? .....oh that’s right, sitting in your house with AC on

Here's a tip - fill the cooler about 2/3 full of water and set it in the deep freezer until frozen solid. Lasts a lot longer than cube ice. Haven't tried the frozen water bottles.
Silver spurs and gold tequila
keep me hanging on.
Pretty girls and old cantinas
give me shelter from the storm.

I like it. I have 2 of those fans in 2 different blinds. Even without the ice they make a difference.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Here's a tip - fill the cooler about 2/3 full of water and set it in the deep freezer until frozen solid. Lasts a lot longer than cube ice. Haven't tried the frozen water bottles. That won't work with that hole he cut in the side to mount the 90. My next camp AC will only have holes in the lid just for this reason.

I looked at doing it that way but decided I would leave these in the stands and I can carry the frozen bottles in my back pack
