Coolers!

[Patchman]

Just checked out a new cooler at Sam's. They are called Pelicans. I guess they are the same company that makes all the weather proofing gear for our military. They are the same concept as Yetti but a little different, and a little cheaper in price! The only down side I see is that they are kind of heavy! think.gif

Yetis are good, but they ain't all they're made out to be.  :wink:

That Pelican is over $200 bux, fukk that, lol...

 

[Patchman]

$250 is better than $350. Unless you are the one getting paid! :smile30:

I have a 50 some odd qt. yeti cooler and have owned it for 3 yrs now. yes they are a little heavy empty,and yes they do hold ice for a long period. Example 4 days in west texas 100 plus temp with say 30 to 40 lbs of ice and i never have to add to it and even have ice for the trip home.

Another plus for a yeti is they dont slide around in the back of your truck destroying what ever it comes in contact with.

You can stand on top of them,even in the center of the lid,,no problem!

One other deal i like about them is no more chitty hinges like most coolers have that break after about a year of use.  yeti uses a dowel type pin,,looks like a big a$$ nail for the hinge pivot,,part of it runs through the lid and part through the back of the cooler. one on each side.

I can say i dont baby mine! It has been thrown out of the truck at the deer lease on the rocks and the lid stayed closed and i have had the gooseneck camper come down on the lid too while in a turn,,gouged the chit out of the lid but didnt break anything.

I have figured out testing this one that i will buy another one! You do the math and you will figure out real quick that it is a good investment. I will never buy another Igloo or whatever they sell now days,,i dont have time for broke ass coolers and hot beer lol not to mention that most guys HATE Shopping!!!!

I have two igloo coolers that work just fine had then for 14 years now.  Bought them new when we got married use then every year always store them away when not in use.  Hinges work fine only one of them is missing the drain plug. 

Now saying that we went to boy scout camp one year and one of the leaders had a yeti and it kept ice cold all week out in the 100 degree heat and never needed a refill and it sat in the sun all week.

Most of the time I don't need to keep Ice colld for a week usually a weekend or a few days or less for that I don't need a yeti my old coolers will work fine.  Was my $40 investment 14 years ago a good investment yes it was.

 

[oldbuck40]

Ballers lol Just saying,,you put a blue or a bowtie in your boat right instead of a rice burner engine. Well why not have the top notch cooler for your suds :smile21:  :grin: :grin: :grin:


Edit,,,Oldbuck forgot what CJ stood for,,,carry on!

I wouldnt expect anything less from a part time beer drinker :grin:  Im talking bout peeps that very rarely ever take their cooler out of the truck! Mine sits on the back of my flatbed truck all season year after year,, I cant get that out of an igloo or any other cooler! so i guess if the shoe fits wear it!

You just gotta know how to pack a cooler strategically. :grin: We've know each other a long time & you ain't never known me to EVER have hot or warm beer.  :cheesy: I don't spend a bunch on ice neither. :wink:

Not bashin the coolers, they are a damn stout cooler, just seem way overpriced & not worth it to me. As Coonass would say, "I ain't sayin', I'm just sayin'"...  :grin:

i hear ya! Well for what and how i use em their worth it to me,,now like CJ he's only a part time beer drinker therefore his coolers will soon be antiques before too long! He could prolly sell the parts off them on e-bay in another 14 yrs and make a profit
