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.

I'm sure there are folks that can justify the expense, guides, off shore folks, etc. But there is no way I can justify it for how I use an ice chest.

I have tested the Coleman Extreme, it will keep ice in 90 degree temps for 5-6 days. It is not bear proof, ( I don't have to worry bout bears). For $60...(I paid cash) at Wal Marks and as far as I am concerned you can take you Yeti and your Yeti and DU stickers and...well you know. If you wanna spend the money to say you have a Yeti, then go for it.

If you need to spend $800 on a cooler, by all means, go for it. I do hear you get a sweet sticker with it.
Or, if you want, you can look up cooler reviews/tests online and see that the coleman extreme performs almost identically to the yeti. You can use the $740 dollars you save to put some pretty sweet hinges on it, if that's an issue.
