[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1262162, member: 33822"] I've never submerged in a stream but that certainly could work in warm temps with a heavy construction grade garbage bag or something similar. I just hang in a cool spot like you are doing. At my truck I have several 120 quart coolers and keep one of them filled with frozen water bottles. I can fit 1/2 an elk in one cooler (front & rear quarter plus a backstrap and heart and other small boned meat like neck/rib/etc) in a single cooler. Then surround all the meat with frozen water bottles. When the ice melts it stays in the water bottles and does not get the meat wet. Keep in mind most freezers cannot freeze that many bottles in a short period of time, so plan ahead and get them in the freezer at least a full week before the hunt. I also put a bunch more water bottles in the freezer right as I'm leaving so I have another freezer full of frozen water bottles when I get home in case it's warm. [/QUOTE]
