    With no way to completely seal these things up, how spill-proof are they?

    Not very I've spilled the large one several times, you'd be surprised how much can come out of the opening.

    If anyone is thinking about getting the stainless straws pay attention to the length. The ones I ordered are 8.5" long and they only stick out the top about an inch on the big yeti. They are perfect for the smaller one though. I just ordered another set that aren't bent that ar 12". It was funny my wife asked today where I got the idea for stainless straws and I told her. She said this forum owes me money.

    @nolaegghead‌ BTW, I found out that steam pans can hang on the lip inside the Pelican coolers. A 65 may have been ordered.

    @DMW - my only complaint with the Pelicans is they're heavy as hell.  Your Pelican will last longer than you will, and if someone is shooting at you, hide behind it.  Ok, maybe that last bit is bad advice. Hit 'em over the head with it.

    @nolaegghead Yeah, I was showing SWMBO the coolers I was considering and she saw the weight of the 95. She goes, 51 lbs WT? (She doesn't curse). I say yeah, check out the one I'm going to get, 48 lbs. She looks at me like I'm an idiot. I tell her, this stays in the back of the truck, we take a smaller cooler for stuff we will use back and forth. She just rolls her eyes.

    @DMW - I have a collapsible dolly that makes moving it EZ.  Not a solution for loading in vehicles, but I'm not old and feeble yet like @SGH. ;)

    That cart will work fine if it can handle the weight.

    Probably some North Korean hacker code in there...now the Vanilla server is a conduit for stealing email from Sony Pictures.

    I used that cart when we actually took real gear out to demo to customers. I hauled a mini rack with switches, IP-PBX, WLAN controllers, and a few phones. Occasionally a server or so as well as a few 40# IPS systems at the same time. I'll use it until it breaks.

    That's probably a better dolly than I have - I need to bungie cord or rope the Pelican on it, shorter bottom.

    @DMW Costco has a collapsible wagon for like $60 in the season that is big enough to take my 50 qt Yeti and Mini in Carten to the pool in. I'm sure it would hold up to a 100qt Yeti or Pelican.

    Actually scratch my last post. Just looked and my wagon is 36"and the 65qt Pelican is 37". Thats weird cause the 65qt Yeti is only 31".

    That doesn't surprise me, the Pelican actually holds 72.5 qt of liquid inside, the Yeti is more like 58 or something.

    New lid and straw for yeti cups. Picked up one for 30 and 20, along with a sidekick for the hopper.
    Held off the yeti ice for now... Hitting the lake for a week so these will be nice. 

    Also so want to add the hopper must not have done bad... All new color out and now the hopper 40. The color is tan... RTIC tards... Should get worked up over this ;)

    I don't want to come in here and be accused of ruining someone's post toasties... but check in the back of walmart, usually the sports section. Their branded version.   Tumblers.  Then if that doesn't set ya off, google it. If ya need the name bad enough, you can engrave it.   Identical performance, in fact, it's said it's out of the same factory and process.  I'm a messenger.  "something trail"...... Ozark Trail... check it.  8 bucks.  Figured you guys were on top of this already.
    Portsmouth, VA.  LBGE.  Missed all this fun till now.   Update: Minimax added to arsenal. Hint, don't take off camping for a month after getting a LBGE, and leave it home, it'll cost you plenty.
