what's the alternative for a refrigerator if you go camping?

i'm going camping next month and I hope to consume a lot of milk jugs, yogurt, cheese, cold beer....basically anything that involves the refrigerator. Problem is I won't be able to carry or plug in a refrigerator in the middle of nowhere so what other substitutes could I use in order to cool my food? Are there any giant icepack kits or something like that? lol
 
Is there a stream near by? Putting things in air tight containers and submerging them in a stream. Get a wool blanket and wrap the items in that, keep it wet with the stream water, out of the sun, and let the air (wind) blow on it. It will act like a swamp cooler. You'd be surprised how well this works. If you make a wire "cage" to set the things in, you could do this quite nicely. Watch out for bears.
How about taking water and powdered milk? How about taking fresh veggies and fruits and go without the milk products?
good luck.
