Day 25 of the 25 days of BWJ Christmas is the BWJ Insulated Food Box System! Recommended use: As a cooler pack for fresh foods. Most effective with insulated Poly Food Box, which is sold separately. Super comfortable pack. Safely carries heavy loads. Full zipper opening top. Specs: 21"w x 24"h x 11 ½" deep; 5800 cu in capacity. BWJ Double Insulated Food Pack System:
Kevlar, Gor-tex, Lexan and Titanium have taken wilderness canoe camping into the hi-tech 21st Century. Amazingly, many folks will settle for processed freeze dried meals which are woefully short on portion size, calories, energy and taste. Yes, you can subsist on freeze dried in canoe country. But the wilderness experience is all about �really livin.� The BWJ Double Insulated Food Pack System lets you eat like a king in canoe country. Place two 1-gallon jugs of frozen water in the bottom and enjoy fresh milk for breakfast cereal, deli meats, cheese and fruits for lunch. Steaks, chicken, burgers, veggies and salads for dinner. Managed carefully, you can expect 5+ days cooling at temps in the 70s. Early and late in the paddling season often yield 6 or 7 days cooling. Combining the Poly Food Box (with insulating liner) and this pack is the optimum way to keep fresh foods cold, dry, protected and delicious. This pack is a must have in Canoe Country! Just the pack only is $290.00. The poly food box insert is $110.00, and for extra chill add the foam liner for $37.00. Call our office or order online!
