Doing a survival camping trip away from a body of water would not be as much fun, but something I've thought about doing just to see if I could.
Always bring a small packable mesh type laundry sack w/ you when you pack beer!

When you stop to camp for the night, put all your beer and one large rock in the mesh sack, then place it in the coolest spot you can find in the stream. Sure, it's not as good as a frosty mug, but it does the trick when you're "roughing it".

I went camping a few weeks ago at Camp Macmorris in Camden, it was very cold, upper 20's. Old Charter was my survival gear!
