Need to ice that stubbed toe or twisted ankle? You don’t have to buy a fancy pack or try to balance a block of ice on your skin. Outdoors blog Uncooped says you can freeze rubbing alcohol and water in a Zip Lock bag to get a malleable ice pack that can take any shape for comfort. The alcohol keeps the water from freezing, thus the bag of slush wraps around your injury easily. You can also use dishwashing liquid for the same purpose.
