Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire ice chest test

ha

Sit to pee because if in a hurry and you try to pee faster, you could fart......and after age 50, well farts cant really be trusted.

Yeah yeah, could DVR the Simpsons and not have to hurry during commercials.....

Awww, what's the matter, truth hurts? Got that 'little man syndrome'?

If you would read, I agreed with you about priming/cooling the ice chest before using it. But I guess you just looked over that, so you could trash talk about someone and show people how smart you are.

Hope you have a good day.

Just buy an ARB plug in and be done with ice altogether.

You're getting a little out of control, Randy happens to be a hell of a nice guy.

I don't know what's up with you lately but I know I don't appreciate it.

Again, I am not trying to keep anything cool a long time, right now. What I am doing is a test, and I am doing it now because it is long hot days, and hot nights. I have my pelican sitting right beside it with ice and bottled water. I add ice and water every day, and I drink a lot of water out of it. The opening and closing and adding hotter drinks makes it not keep for days, but with the test one thing that I am looking at is by keeping it closed. If after three days all the ices is gone, I will try two days. miles

Lifetime are USA made.

From what I’ve seen. There’s a couple different “levels”.

The blue’ish one that Walmart sells. Kinda hollow. Not the same as a yeti.

The stone / slate grey one that Sams club sells. It’s more on the lines of yeti. More costs more. Say $165 for the 60 qt.

What are we testing again?


My coolers need to haul chiiled quarters across the country in the back of the truck. Doesn't take much insulation to do that.

Keepin Keystone light 30 pks cooooOooold.

Since I no longer recreate my cooler use is basically water and lunch box.


And I just may have perfected the ultimate day work setup...

I paid 125.00 for a 65qt rtic 5 or 6 years ago when they had a super clearance. Never figured I'd buy a roto cooler before that with the prices. It's been great.

For any cooler to be efficient they need to be as full as possible of ice and items, obviously keeping shaded and a cover helps.

I mostly use it for drinking ice so it starts full and lasts a week.

Are you saying she isn’t?

And if you had an ounce of sense you’d know what’s been posted on here 500 times.

Perhaps Facebook proved less valuable than you realized. LOL

All I know is I ain't payin' no $300 for no f u c king cooler. Every redneck around here in the oil patch gots one bungee strapped in the back of their flatbad just beggin' for a tweaker to lift. Hell, even the Walmart knock-offs are too freaking high.

Ice is cheap.


You all live closer to store bought ice than I do.

Yeah, but you're an eskimo and we all know you've got a locker or something full of ice year around.

I never buy ice, pain in the ass.

Ice packs much easier.

Yep. Every Pipeline Welder and Oilfield Worker from Abilene to Midland has one bungee strapped on the back of their truck here in TX. If the Meth Heads had any brains, they could make a fortune stealing them.

Dad always froze old plastic Butter tubs full of water for the ice in his old aluminum Stanley Water Jug he kept in his JD Tractor.

Didn't read the whole thread but a couple trips through Grand Canyon taught me a little. Freeze water in layers in the bottom of the cooler until it's about 2/3s full. Put a mylar bubble pack over the ice. Load your precooled perisahables on top. Then cover with another layer of mylar bubble pack.

Keep a wet towel over the top of the cooler and leave it in the boat. It will be 20-30 degrees cooler over the water.

Only get into the cooler right before a meal and have a list of what you need. Drain every day or two (save the water if you can for cooling beers).
Came off 17 day trips in Juy and August with ice.

I use the same technique in my cooler old Rubbermaid 105 qt on other rivers but with block ice (Don't have an walk-in freezer). Line the bottom with them and follow the same deal-ee-oo as above. 7-10 trips with lots of ice at the end.
