bigj23 Report post Posted February 11, 2018 RTIC is the way to go. They work pretty good. I got 2 65s. One for drinks and one for ice that stays in the trailer. Normally get ice to last 6-7 days. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesPursuit Report post Posted February 11, 2018 I personally wouldn't pay retail but I did jump on the big RTIC sale last year. My most and least favorite things about the coolers is durability and weight but they go hand in hand. I use frozen water bottles mostly, after precooling overnight with frozen gallon jugs. The coolers work great for me this way and have saved me a ton of money and headaches in ice. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Last Wood Report post Posted February 11, 2018 I can't really justify spending so much, I'm really happy with my Ozark though and it's about half the price. The only thing is the rubber straps that hold the lid shut will probably break some day I'm sure bit of you consider most people use them only hunting and camping and I use mine everyday at work it is holding up very well and the rubber straps can be replaced if they break. I would love to have a pelican the latches are very strong and latches and hinges are the first thing to go on cheap coolers. You can do well with a mid priced Coleman but many of the cheapest coolers have little or no insulation in the lids. Plus the roto molded plastic is very nice and strong. I need something strong for the work truck cuz of all the shoot I throw in the back 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted February 11, 2018 Can't justify the expense of the pricey ones. Coleman extremes have worked just fine for me and I don't have to worry about them getting stolen sitting outside my camper while I hunt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted February 11, 2018 I have a Coleman with wheels and an extendable handle that was pricey and is supposed to keep ice for a week. I also have an Artic and I think the Coleman lasts longer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trphyhntr Report post Posted February 11, 2018 Thank you based desertbull for initiating the great cooler buy of 2017. Or was it late 2016? All I know is I've used the shoot out of that cooler and it's sitting out back with a warm trout in it as we speak. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delw Report post Posted February 11, 2018 I heard great things about the rtic coolers was going to buy one but there made in china. only bummer for me. Canyon cooler is made in flagstaff, my buddy has a few of them there great. he goes camping every other weekend in the summer with his wife and kids and a ton of friends. never need ices for 4-5 days. I think a few archery shops carry them (the one on deer valley road and maybe Ross) if your looking for a deal on one then you might want to buy a used one, but that would be like using trophy hunters socks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arizona Griz Report post Posted February 11, 2018 RTIC coolers (have four) when on sale or Coleman Extreme when not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctafoya Report post Posted February 11, 2018 I have several cheap coolers and 4 yeti coolers. Of my cheaper coolers I have a huge Rubbermaid that does ok. It was still around $150. I have had my yeti's keep ice in the garage in the summer for a week. Worth every penny to me. I have the lock and cable kits to thwart the crackheads. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
