Good stuff Pete. My buddy makes huge blocked ice using boxes. We have a huge homemade cooler that fits in back of one of the pickup trucks. Have ice for the week easily. When we get low on the island, the boat that brings keepers to landing to put on ice will break some chunks off the bigger chunks in the big cooler and fill up a couple nice size coolers. Bring that back to island and we have plenty of ice for beer cooler and cold foods cooler (milk, butter, lunchmeat, cheese etc...).
