What is a passive cool box?

A passive cool box, also known as a passive cooler or icebox, is a portable container designed to keep food and drinks cool without the use of electricity or active cooling mechanisms. Passive cool boxes typically rely on insulation and cooling agents such as ice packs or ice blocks to maintain a low temperature inside the box.

If you eat well at home, it stands to reason that you are probably going to want to do the same whilst you’re away and being in a tent, caravan or campervan doesn’t mean you have to resort to eating rubbish! Become aware of and focus on the warmth of the sun, the sensation of the breeze on your skin, the way the grass feels on any areas of your bare skin, and any sounds you can hear, paying particular attention to the natural sounds.

Straight out of the box, I must say, the do feel like quite a heavy sandal, so if you like really light sandals you may want to look elsewhere. I love chunky footwear though, and during use, they don’t feel at all heavy to wear. If you’re in a public place, do you feel at all self-conscious? Perhaps you feel a sense of calm or happiness? You might even feel a little silly or self-indulgent. It could be that you feel right at home and immediately settle in.
