After days of preparation and long hours outdoors, protecting your harvest is just as important as making the shot.
Whether you're transporting deer, moose, elk, or waterfowl, maintaining proper temperatures helps preserve meat quality and reduce the risk of spoilage. That's why many Canadian hunters rely on dry ice to keep game colder for longer during transport and processing.
At Linde, you'll find dry ice along with hunting-season essentials such as coolers, insulated gloves, flashlights, propane, and safety gear, making it easy to prepare for your next adventure in one stop.
Shop online or visit your local Linde store before hunting season begins.
Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO₂). Unlike traditional ice, it doesn't melt into water. Instead, it turns directly into a gas, helping maintain colder temperatures without creating a watery mess in your cooler.
Whether you're heading to camp for a weekend or bringing home a large harvest, dry ice can help protect the time and effort invested in your hunt.
The answer depends on:

The amount you need depends on your cooler size and trip duration.
Day Trip
2-5 kg
Weekend Hunt
5-9 kg
Extended Hunting Trips
9+ kg
