OK. Here's the basic idea... You need shade, two pots, a towel, water and some sand. And something you want to keep cool. For the pots, get yourself a glazed pot (IE: One that's smooth to the touch) and an unglazed pot (one of those dry, porus terricotti pots). The glazed pot should be small enough to fit in the big pot with lots of room around it.
1. To start, put the sand in the big pot, and wet it down until it's sticky, but not runny.
2. Dig out a hold in the middle of it that's big enough to hold the small pot.
3. Put the small pot in the hole, and put what you want to keep cool in it. For example, a candy bar or a can of Dr. Pepper.
4. Wet the towel, and lay it over the top of the contraption.
5. Place in the shade for a few hours.
Your stuff in side should be nice and cool.
TMM: It's not quite an insulation device - quite the opposite, in fact.
Volt: You can always add more water, it's sorta easy to come by.
