With hot weather coming, here are a couple of cheap tricks:

Get a package of any kind of 'baby wipes' and stick them in your cooler. Use them for a quick pick me up when things get hot, dusty or dirty.

Wet down a couple of hand towels before you head out. Stick these into your cooler and when it starts getting hot, drape one around your neck to cool off. They also make special bandanas for this, but for the $14 you spend for one of them, you can grab a slew of hand towels.

Do the same with wash clothes. Fold one up and stick it under your hat. You lose a surprising amount of heat through your head. This process also works in reverse.

You will be surprised how much these simple tricks will refresh you during the day.

Also toss a few water bottles in the freezer to ice over. Be sure to leave about 1 inch from the top so the ice doesn't bust the cap. Toss that in the ice box as well. Its a cheap ice pack and it also keeps fresh water on hand in case someone gets hurt on the trail or starts to get dehydrated.
