re: Cooler recommendations

for a 20 quart size I would honestly just get a soft cooler from Wal Mart. It's going to be lighter, come with a shoulder strap, and be more versatile than something like a yeti 20.

Sure, it won't keep ice as long, but it will keep ice for 8+ hours which is plenty long enough to consume the contents of a cooler that size.

To each their own, but there really isn't a need for a rotomolded cooler that small, because it only has so much capacity the need for keeping ice for days really isn't there

For the job you're asking one to do, nearly any cooler will work. Some will outperform their duties at a higher price, but you only need them to perform their duties, keep stuff cold until you've eaten or drank all of it. a $20 ozark trail cooler will do that the same as a yeti in a cooler that size
