    That's pretty neat. Perfect complement for your travels now. What food do you take with you on these trips? An ice water mix is more efficient to cool stuff than ice alone. Something to do with ice needing energy to go from solid to liquid phase. That's why the Yeti folks probably recommend that stuff will stay coldest if you don't drain the water.

    Two types: fist is wife food as in picture, lots of it. Second is food bought and brought back. image

    If you really want it to get cold, add some salt to the ice water mix.was our go to method for chilling beers back when.
    That's how I chill big bird's breast when smoking Mad Max turkey.

    dayum, I should ban myself from this forum, just saw this Pelican Elite 65 QT at Costco for $199.97  (price ending in .97 means Costco clearance), so tempted :((

    @Canugghead‌ - that's a good deal. Why is it still at Costco and not in your house?

    @Canugghead How much would be the shipping + import taxes + uplift for you to go buy that for me and ship?

    @caliking it sure is tempting but I don't fish nor camp, so can't justify it  =((

    @DMW Morgantown PA is only six hours from St. Catharines, ON, why not come for the Niagara eggfest on Aug 17 and take a few home, keep one and sell the rest 
    :D   btw, our HST is 13%

    I succumbed to the temptation, picked one up @ $139.  First location sold out, went to another location (just as close to home) that had 3 left two days ago.

    Little tip for you fellow YETI owners:

    If you want the absolute coldest beer possible, fill that YETI with your cans/bottles.  Cover it with the ice, then sprinkle a few cups of ice cream rock-salt over the ice.  I've been applying this method all summer and it works like a charm.  The rock salt drops the temp of the ice dramatically.  You can confirm this by looking it up on YETI's website.
