That makes perfect sense, now I understand. Unfortunately the meat will already be frozen so there's not much I can really do about that. So I guess regardless I really want to make sure it stays frozen 100% now.
I am definitely the King of overthinking, as you can probably tell from these questions.
I do have a "fridge" for the vehicle I use when we go on long camping trips, but that by no means will hold even 1/8th of a cow, and that vehicle is more for 4x4 so it gets probably 10mpg if I'm lucky. Vehicle we're taking gets a good 33mpg.
Just been debating the water bottles frozen vs gel packs vs ice in a trash bag. Thinking the frozen bottles is likely the best option, but then IF I do run into an issue, my next move is the question. I believe I was wrong about the packaging of the meat. It's not in vacuum sealed containers, but rather the freezer wrap paper, so I don't want any ice melting and leaking through that.
