I forgot to describe, other than pre-cooking and sealing meat, how I try to keep my food cool.

I own a Quetico/Superior Canoe Country foodpack.  I found a plastic box with 3-drawers that fit into the pack perfectly.  See views of pack: open, closed, and harness...

Then, like solotripper and snow_dog, I wrap the entire box with thermarest.  I don't try to insulate the individual drawers.  

With this arrangement, and with pre-cooking, I really don't worry about food going bad.
