    Another item I found that works really well is the fishpond reel cases. I have a size medium and it fits 2 of the 350 light a life lights perfectly. It may be overkill , but with wheeling and everything can get tossed around pretty good. Plus when I leave camp for 1/2 day or go hiking , mountain biking I take the lights down in a matter of seconds and put them back in the evening, so I don't come back to no lights.
    The case is padded and zipper pouch stores the 12v cigarette adapter perfectly.

    Camping cooler hack... I just left a few coors lights in the freezer too long and they were rock solid. For the next trip I'm freezing my 30 pk first :D. Block(ish) ice for the price of beer! I'll drink all my IPAs the first night so they're not frozen.

    I froze a few gatorade bottles. At the end of Saturday they were still semi frozen. I'll try the frozen beer cans next time.

    I'm getting a new cooler. By Saturday morning, all my Ice was melted. I did the whole frozen block thing and that didn't last either. Maybe I'll try dry ice.
