    Keeping meat cold in the field

    Hey guys,

    Was a bit reluctant to ask this question and there will be some variation on ideas with how to best keep your meat cold in the summer while in the field, and I have seen it on the forum before but can't find it. I'm planning a 3 day trip soon in the midst of summer where day time temperatures get to 23 degrees and drops to 5-10 degrees at night. There are numerous cold rivers and bush where I will be hunting.

    If successful early on should I:

    A: Chill meat overnight hanging up and then come morning drop into dry bag suspended in river for remaining of day then bring out again at night to chill from a tree and repeat steps until carry out?
    B: Leave in dry bag in river for whole time(meat won't sweat and this isn't a good way of storing meat I assume)?
    C: Leave hanging up under tree?
    D: Consume meat over trip and shoot one on last day? That would be the bees knees, but we all know that these things never come to fruition.

    Your thoughts?
