As long as every gas station on the highway sells ice for a buck, it will be a cold day in he!! when I spend many hundred dollars for a Yeti, or similar. Heavy to a fault, and with a ridiculously-tiny internal capacity, such Cadillac coolers are the triumph of clever, aggressive marketing campaigns.

I suppose a 10-day hunt in the hot desert might call for such a cooler, but you would have to upgrade to a 3/4 ton pickup to haul the heavy beast....


I was hoarding when hoarding wasn't cool.
