Get a standard cooler. Drill a small hole in the lid and inject foam in it. You may get better performance out of it. The lids are typically hollow, no insulation.

For camping a 12v compressor fridge is the way to go. Since it doesn't use ice you can get away with a smaller size too. If you are camping away from shore power a solar panel and battery pack can keep it running for several days.

Not just the lid, do it all around the cooler.

The most expensive Yeti will not hold ice for much more than a day in high temps. I'd go igloo and inject all sides with expanding foam.

Doesn’t Yeti use some shell inside you are supposed to get cold to “help” keep ice longer?

This all day for camping. If you aren't doing serious backpacking this is the only way. Get a folding solar panel and never have to worry about ice or power again.

If your cooler can’t have a China woman holding a sign about biscuits it ain’t the right cooler.

I still have many of them the work great wish they were still around. An ice machine and a regular cooler work well also…. But not like colorless coolers.

Their hard coolers in that size range are great. I use two of the 52qt ultra lights on my boat and they've held up great the last couple years.

Tired of constantly buying ice.


Then add cooler shock packs to your ice chest. A molded ice chest ain’t gonna do shite more for you unless you’re some offshore dude.

There’s no way you fitted 300 lbs of meat in a 65 qt ice chest.

The does were all around 100 lbs on the hoof. It was probably around 100-120 lbs of meat total in the ice chest once quartered.

I found the troll and paid the toll in a quest to obtain such wonderment for my nephew. The gods indeed make sport of us for their amusement. He indeed had one left this year but it was only in pink. chastened by my false pride, I purchased the cooler as I realized it would be funny to give it to him as he worked construction.

I bought 3 from him, I have a Yeti 105 and the 3 no names do the same job at a 3rd of the price

I just picked up a Milwaukee cooler for my work truck. So far it works great.
