And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I've got two old colman 160 qt coolers that I have filled with halibut and salmon fillets with one bag of ice in each for several years. If I got home late went to bed, fish was still fresh and most of the 10 lbs of ice was there the next morning when I got my lazy self around to processing the fish.
Know what you mean! Might have to do with all those beers you have to drink to make room for the fish. Hydration is important out on the water too! Bubbarust
I own two Yetis ( both gifts from the wife) a soft and a rigid. The soft zipper greatly restricts getting your arm in and out, the rigid is very small inside. They both are terrific at keeping things cold for a long time. That being said, most of the times I'm out for a day or overnight and regular ice chests work just fine
Several of my Coleman coolers have problems with the lid warping and not closing tight anymore, which impacts their ability to do their job. I won't pay for the Yeti name, but Colemans have their issues.
I have two old Coleman coolers, one from 1968, the other from 1996, and they both still work quite well. Of course, there are a few things you should do with ANY cooler. First, make sure about half of the interior of the cooler is filled with ice. Also, use at least one large block of ice, as that block will take a lot longer to melt than will cubes. Second, keep your cooler out of the shade. Third, cover your cooler with a light-colored towel, and keep that towel wet. Any heat on the outside of the cooler will be taken away when the water on the towel evaporates (same principle as a desert canteen).
atta boy!
ReplyDeleteYeti donates $ to the D party, Scroom!
ReplyDeleteRoger that!
DeleteAnd Yeti charges $350 for similar to this one. Paying extra for a name is stupid and foolish.
DeleteMy Colman is rated at 5 bags of ice for 5 days in 95 ° heat. I think it is called the Extreme. Less than $100.
ReplyDelete80 cans? Who drinks beer from a can?
ReplyDeleteEmpty the beer into the cooler and use a ladle.
DeletePeople at a beach or pool.
DeleteGo to the Lifetime Store. Better than Yeti, ice stays frozen for a week hunt, less than half the price.
