Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Yeti cooler color?

Yep, buying a Yeti for beer is a waste. Opening and closing all the time it is no better than anything else. Where a Yeti (and Pelicans too, I have heard they are very good) really shines is when you need to store ice or food for several days out camping and such. Or where they are going to get beat up. Or both.

Now the Yeti ramblers, those things work. I do lots of custom Cerakoting on them, and I have yet to meet someone who doesn't love theirs.

There is a reason every cooler is compared to a yeti.


That being said I have a couple of K2 brand coolers that work just as good, just the fit and finish is not as good.

Oh for heavens sake ! just buy whatever cooler color matches your purse & shoes & be done with it.

my best guesstimate is worrying about tan vs. white on a cooler that insulated is akin

to pole vaulting over mouse turds



not that big a deal


if it's a good price snag it

We have a Yeti cooler on every ranch truck, and they get used a lot every day, the white ones get really dirty looking fast, the tan ones seem to have a slicker harder finish and stay cleaner than the white Yeti's, I can't tell which keeps ice the best but they work better than anything else we have used.

I have a desert tan, 65.
Only complaint is they are heavy even when empty.
Don't sweat the color

And that's coming from a guy that knows a thing or two about HOT weather.

Charlie, RIO would know for sure.


Been Texas hot here the last 3-4 days(+100F).

I have a water bottle ritual I do every night. Fill my 32 oz Nalgene bottles half full and freeze(set sideways and they won't crack).

Couple of those in a cooler with the lid duct taped on and a sandwich goes in the back of the pickup.


I KNOW you KNOW the drill for a 'jobsite' lunch box....grin

nah, Blue has no experience with that does he? if you can pic up a Yeti cheap chances are your gonna be very happy with it regardless of color.....most people dont really need something more than what say a Coleman Extreme(hell of a cooler for the money) offers but those that can use a better cooler rarely complain about paying for one be it Yeti or one of the similar....

i recently spent $60 on a smaller Stanley lunch box cooler built like the Yeti style cause my cushy state job comes with a work truck without AC and was having problems keeping my lunch colder than luke warm by 11 and had nothing cool to drink during the worst of the heat during the day during our recent heat.....damn expensive cooler given its small size but i now have something cold to drink when its hot....

I wanna see some everyday workin' cooler pics.


The cooler along with the proper contents are pretty much a vital need!

Not that it matters but one of my son's gave me a Yetti "cup" for Father's Day and that thing flatazz works, both hot and cold. It is with me wherever I run here in Idaho. I bought a second one to take back to Texas. I am thinking one of their small chests to throw on an ATV would be nice.

LOL.... hotter'n hell here too Sam.

Having been a poor carpenter all my life (and starting my career in So. NV/No. AZ) I know a thing or two about packing a lunch and enough water for the day.

No Yeti's back then but I did have a three gallon Igloo water jug with a basket in the top for your lunch. I'd drink all three gallons every day and never piss a drop.

sounds like my last few days in the field.....b!tch of it is after a long day in the heat the jobsite is usually most of an hour from the office.....getting into a truck thats even hotter for an hour ride back really sucks.....but you know we are spoiled working for the state with one of those cushy jobs

and i know other coolers would work for what im doing but they dont work as well as the Yeti-style construction especially in a small package that doesnt need much ice to keep cold.....

August, is always a hot month in S.Tex. with most days over 100 deg. I carry a smaller Yeti in my jeep, it's nice to have cold gator aid and cold water and a candy bar or two when I am a long way from the house. Rio7

Really? I'd love to see pics. The Rambler tumblers are the real deal. I've got one at the office and one at home. Would've never thought of having one painted though.

Ok. Here is my FB page, it has some stuff on it:

I don't have many pictures up on Photobucket I can grab, by will post a couple here. First one is my own personal Rambler. It is in desert sand, with patriot brown coyote tracks and fire engine red blood splatters.



Here is a Colster in burnt bronze with a USMC red Punisher skull.
