Hunting camp site advice

Over the last few years my group of buddies and I head out to west TX for Muley season. It is our way of roughing it for a few days. We load the ice chest with ice and food but by the end of the trip, the food is soaked in the pool of water from the ice melting. I was thinking about packing the cooler with dry ice this year, but wanted to check the OB for recommendations. What yall think? FYI none of us have cash for a yeti

I got no idea, but you may want to change your thread title. It doesn't match the question you ask.
I thought you were asking where to put a hunting camp.

We have Igloo 5 day coolers that are in the $50 range but you will still have ice melt - even in a yeti. We just keep food in Ziplock bags where possible. Then it doesn't matter how much water is in the cooler.

How about freezing water in coke bottles.

1. freeze water in ice bottles.
2. double ziplock anything you stick in an ice chest that can't get wet. or put in a vacuum bag. definitely double bag anything that you don't want to spoil the ice chest (raw meat for example, may be ok to get wet but you don't want blood mixed in with your ice & beer).
3. as much as possible, bring stuff that doesn't need to be refrigerated: bread, rice, canned food.

Seperate cooler for drinks to limit how often the food cooler has to be opened. Freeze anything you can and let it thaw in the cooler / as you need it.
Large ice bottles - half gallon milk jugs or similair. Use those re-freezable cold packs. I have one called "black ice" that stays frozen much longer than frozen water bottles.

I would keep food in a separate ice chest as suggested.
I have used dry ice in the past layered in a single layer at the bottom. Fill in cracks or spaces with blocks of regular ice. Then put a layer of cardboard on top of the dry ice and put food on top of that. Oh yeah and wrap dry ice in newspaper. The dry ice will keep the regular ice from melting for a while. Even when it does melt you have the melted water on the bottom and separated from your food.

We always crack the drain once a day and let most of the water out.
or use a handful of these:
