A cooler is described including at least one combination ice pack and canteen. A container with a dispensing opening is partially filled with water, frozen, and then placed in the cooler along with cooler contents. The ice in the container maintains the cooler contents at a reduced temperature, so that the container serves as an ice pack. Melt-water resulting from melting of the ice while the container is in the cooler may be dispensed as drinking water, so that the container also serves as a canteen. A preferred combination ice pack and canteen comprises a flexible, substantially water-tight bag with an integral, flexible, re-sealable pour spout. The bag is partially filled and preferably arranged in a substantially flattened shape for freezing. Two such flattened ice packs may be placed above and below, or on either side of, the cooler contents.
