Gear Reviews: Canyon Coolers Clean Ice Bag
Ice is a pretty important part of any river trip, car camping trip, or road trip. It is the way to keep your food and beverages cold while on the go. Block ice is the way to go to keep everything cold for days on end. However, it is nice to have some cubed ice for putting in a water bottle or an ice cool beverage at the end of the day.
What is the best way to have some solid block ice while also having some cubed ice? Clean ice bags from Canyon Coolers can help you make your own block ice and keep your cubed ice clean from unknown cooler mank.

Uses
Whenever I'm bringing a cooler on a trip, I plan ahead and make my own block ice. If you want to keep food and drinks cold for more than a day, block ice is the way to go. It also can be hard to find, so making it yourself is ideal. I found this bag perfect for making a big block of ice that lasted through a 4-day trip on the Rogue River. Using a bag or container for your ice also keeps your cooler much cleaner and more organized.

You can also use this as a water reservoir. Whether you are filling it up with water for on-the-go, or drinking the water after it melts in your cooler. The quick-release straw works great for filling cups or water bottles.
As mentioned, this bag works great for holding cubed ice—because who doesn’t love an ice-cold drink on a hot day? However, no one loves getting sick after chiseling off some ice from a block that has been marinating in days old meat juice and remains of an egg that cracked a few days ago.
Final Thoughts
While this isn’t a major part of the Canyon Coolers product line-up, it would be sweet to see a few upgrades. It would be great to see multiple size options, but the biggest improvement would be adding a handle. This would make it easier to carry to and from your cooler or hang from a tree or table for convenient access to drinking water.
Overall, if you’re looking for an easy way to make block ice and keep your cooler clean and organized, this bag is a fantastic choice. Not only does it prevent your cooler from turning into a soggy mess, but it also keeps cubed ice clean and separate from the rest of your supplies. Whether you’re out for a quick day trip or a multi-day adventure, it’s a reliable solution to keep your food and drinks cold, fresh, and ready to enjoy.
