I Now Dosinfect Several Items With Plain CLorox
I always bring a couple of 5 gallon jugs of water to camp because there is no clean water source. Before each trip, I put a cap full of Clorox into the jug to clean and disinfect,then rinse before filling, since the jug may have been sitting for a number of months.
In the past, after killing game, it is skinned and just placed directly into the cooler.
I was trusting that my butcher would totally trim off any contaminants (even from the cooler) that could get onto the game meat.

I just realized that I should be disinfecting my big game cooler each season the same way, by filling with water, adding an appropriate amount of bleach, then letting it sit for 8 hours before rinsing out. Previously I just washed the cooler and scrubbed with Ajax or dish washing soap.

If there's no food on your plate when dinner is done, you didn't get enough to eat.

Yup, chlorine is pretty good at killing a bunch of bad things.

Pretty simple and effective.

Bleach is a cooler (and your) friend.
