re: I don't understand the obsession with the Yeti ice chest.

This^^^ I was coming here to post about extremes. I have a regular igloo and an extreme. I kept a pig in the igloo and changed the ice daily last week. I finally butchered it and put it in the extreme with a new bag of ice. 2 days later, the ice had barely lost anything to melt. I had forgotten how well it worked until that back to back experiment.

You're going to come on here and tout the exceptional craftsmanship of something you bought at the Wally, Wally, Wally, Wally World? Was it purchased with the EBT card? Guys just look at the wall thickness of the chests. 2" of foam has a higher R value than 1" of foam. Check out the lids. And the weight is from a dense foam. If you get away for any length of time, borrow one if you don't have one. "Cool" food after a few days will mean TP shortage for your crew.
