The first time I hefted an empty Yeti it was so heavy I thought it was already full of beer and ice!

My cooler is an Igloo that’s over 30 years old now. Still going strong. Cheap coolers FTW!

Plus the hitch-mounted rack to carry the YETI, so everyone can see how cool your beer must be as you cruise the highway.

Seems like it is necessary gear for the quintessential outdoors person. This post made me laugh. As much as the Yeti aisle does in gear stores..I like to go down that aisle just for entertainment sake.

Happy Holidays to you and Joan!

Don’t you NEED the latest $300 cooler

https://www.rei.com/product/123344/yeti-hopper-flip-18-soft-cooler

Of course you need to secure your $300 cooler so it doesn’t become someone else’s cooler. That’ll be $35 for a cable that’s easily cut

And you CAN’T use just any OLD bottle to as ice blocks. You HAVE to use the latest $30 ice packs

Paul, must get in touch with your inner consumer.

(no stickers, though) At a July 4 weekend campout some years ago, with temps in the upper 90s and the car parked in the sun, a block of ice lasted three days! The food stayed a lot cooler than I did!
