I'm a modern backpacker so I buy pre-packaged freezedried ziplock meals for $10 a serving while feeling superior to all you loving losers making lovely-rear end old-fashioned porridge, like some Donner Family Oregon Trail pieces of poo poo.

Having porridge on hand would've saved the Donner Party an arm and a leg

I could see doing that for a cooler

You could, but you'd be better off using crushed ice. Good Eats did something in reverse years back in reverse with thawing meat. The short of it was that you want to maximize contact with the item to the source of heat/cold. That plus the contact material's density (iirc) and capacity for heat absorption. That's why it's faster to thaw something in a sink full of water than it is a hot oven. The balloon ice would leave a decent amount of air in the cooler that would do a worse job of keeping the contents cool than having the items covered in crushed ice or an ice/water slurry.

Actually, there's been a lot of discussion and debate about that over the years. A number of studies suggest that there are two main reasons soldiers don't generally poo poo on the battlefield:

1. They trade food items from the MRES, throwing the nutritional value out of balance and constipating themselves.
2. (And this is what most studies found to be the most likely case) They don't poop because they're spooked about poopin' on a battlefield.
