Bear............resistant

I own a couple of them and have three for work plus two Yeti coolers. Ice keeps within two or three days of the Yetis. key is to fill with large ice blocks. A piece of foam under the lid helps too. Work trips are usually eight days and ice in the lifetime coolers last 5-6 Good coolers for the money.

I'm waiting for Stihl to come out with a high performance cooler.

One thing that I learned from Ruffcutt was to insulate the cooler. He talked about putting blankets on his cooler one time to keep it cold. A few months later I was traveling and had my cooler in my Explorer. I had a pillow and not really have a spot for it I put it on top of the cooler. After traveling awhile I went to move the pillow. It was cool on the bottom. I remembered what Ruffcutt had said. So I always keep something to keep my cooler insulted now. Of course a good quality cooler would help also.

At the above link hold your cursor over "Inventory Checkers" up at the top of the page then left click on Walmart.

Then where is says, "Need help finding a SKU? Try our SKU finder." left click on SKU finder

In the text window that opens up type "Lifetime coolers", then click on "Search".

The next window that opens up shows the models and capacity they carry.

Click on the 77qt.

When that cooler page appears enter your zip code then click on "Check Inventory" (give it a couple of seconds to run a search)

Now scroll down the page and see if there any clearance priced and in stock at Walmart store within your immediate area.

(if none clearance priced in your immediate area try entering other nearby zips)

The one we bought had virtually zero ice left in it after each day. We used it in FL, in March. It was stored in the shade in a storage compartment of my MIL’s that was parked. We returned it, no questions asked for our money back.

With the $119 we got back, we bought 2 Coleman X-treams and they’ve been great.

Rtic.

Ive got the 65 quart that I keep full of ice and meat pretty much all deer season. Great cooler

Ozark trail or rtic soft cooler for drinks and overnight travel. The small hard coolers are just too heavy and not enough capacity.

I like the Wal Mart cooler a lot. Works very well for us. I also have the R-Tic and yes it does seem to work better, but the problem with it it's so damned HEAVY.

Look up retro coolers and buy yourself a Gott cooler. I have a little one a 50 and an 80 quart Gott cooler and wouldn't have anything else. Rubbermade bought them and the quality went away. The older Gotts have heavy molded in handles that I've used for pole holders out salmon trolling plus the 50 has two pockets in the lid with screw in refreeze bottles and the 80 has three pockets in the lid. Cold goes down and the weight of those frozen bottles keeps the lid down. Three days on ice is pretty typical. I paid $70.00 for that 50 just this year and we use it all the time. Even the wife says it is great and money well spent.

Youtube has a lot of videos of cooler tests and comparisons.

Lifetime beat Yeti and Ozark in this one:

Lol......if it was a 70 qt then it wasn't a Lifetime cooler, they just started making the 77 and 28 qt this year, previous model was a 55 qt which I have and love. It held ice for almost 2 weeks

Well I said "I think". So, then it was the 77qt. We bought it in mid-March, one day before we left to take the kids to FL. It was definitely a steaming pile of crap, and it definitely was a Grizzly. It certainly didn't work for us at all.

A Grizzly cooler?

That is confusing!

Just exactly what the guy in the video said as well.

Lol. Now I'm all twisted up. It was a Lifetime Cooler. But it was grizzly proof. Ya know, since they roam Disney Campground Swamps.

And off the grid Alaska.

You have slightly better chance on that deal.
