Damn, this is like watching paint dry ... only two days down and eight to go.  Are you going to peek?

At the end of day 7 I will peek. Why? I think that it being 50 quarts instead of 95 quarts like the Pelican, the ice will be gone. Also the Yeti claim is 7 days.

You're going to have to start a new thread with the results.  I can't keep up with all the responses on your threads.  

I tell ya, if @SGH posts a picture of a Big Mac it would run 12 pages.

Awesome brother^^^^^^. I'm holding out for one of the RTI roadies. Hope that it's not a dud. If it is, I will buy a Yeti roadie. However I feel that the RTI's will be great.

Is that^^^^^^ 160 quart or $160.00 dollars? Either way, awesome man. Enjoy it.

Standing by for more yeti ice reviews. I see too many online calling them crap and no better than blue ice. Besides REI only had 2 lb i think I want one 4 lb rather than 2 2lb blocks.

I'm picking up some Yeti ice tomorrow from Academy Sports. I will gladly share my thoughts once I get to try it out.

Yeti roadie worked out well on our 2 night 3 day camp trip. We were responsible for 2 meals for 3 families , or 2 @SGH meals....either way . All food not eaten made it home just fine. I lucked out on a $150 second, has one little ding and no rubber on the handle.

I've got a 2 pound ice in the freezer right now going to Myrtle Beach with me in a few days. If I can remember, I'll update!

Please do my friend. I have heard some say that it works great and others say that it didn't perform well. I'm going to give it a shot myself.

So what's the deal with the RTIC coolers, when do we pay and get them?  Anyone know?  I heard their website was up and running, but I haven't seen an email from them.

I was told that it would be mid to late August. Again, just repeating what I was told, not what I know. If I get a email I will certainly give everyone a heads up.

Thanks @SGH.  You are the only reason I reserved two of the tan big guys.  I was happy to hear you put your unheralded SGH seal of approval on them!

Will do. Don't have a nice & fancy cooler to carry it in; private school for the 2 offspring takes a good chunk of my change!  But will be able to compare it with ice and the blue ice things!

@SkinnyV  I picked up a 4lb yeti ice today for my hopper, its in the freezer.  I'll let you know how it holds up this weekend

SkinnyV

Sounds good fellas. Brother SGH , you've been stingy on that seal of approval lately.
Leaving for a little vacation tmw, me and my 2 kiddos on a flight tmw with the Mrs joining later in the week, will be standing by for any and all results!

Get ready for fall. http://yeticoolers.com/rambler-lowball/

Brother Skinny I haven't been on the forum very much as of late. Been spending a lot of time on the Gulf fishing. We have been slaughtering the white trout as of late. I try to look in a couple a times a day. But I did give brother yolk the seal last night.

I didn't know that they made a 10oz. I have only saw the 20 & 30.  I can't speak for the 10 & 20, but the 30oz has exceeded all expectations. Since I purchased it, it's all I use now. I honestly thought that it was just hype until I tried it. As soon as Academy gets some more in, I'm picking up several more of the 30oz. Thanks for the link above.

@SGH just missed a flight with my 2 kids in hand. Arrived to a very crowded airport at 6am....unheard of TSA line length. Can I hear your TSA take...haha. I was furious as I arrived at my gate with the guy just closing the door with a stroller and 2 kids in tow telling me sorry, haha. I caused a nice scene but man, TSA is what screwed alot of folks this am. Lucky I.am back home until my flight later this afternoon....bastards.

SkinnyV said:

I would love to share my thoughts on the TSA brother skinny. But if I did, they would sink this thread just like they sunk my other cooler thread. I have a hunch that you probably have a good idea as to how I feel about the TSA. They go hand in hand with a certain political party in my book. Just a hint, the political party in question is not the honest, law abiding, hard working, tax paying conservatives. It's that other one.

So much noise in this thread.....what was the result of your test @SGH ?

Still have 5 days to go before the 10 day test is up. I'm going to peek at the end of the eighth day though. I don't think the 50 is big enough to make it 10 days like the bigger 95 quart Pelican. We shall see. 

SkinnyV

Brother @SGH provides great wisdom and even greater banter. I think most of his threads have noise but feel free to shut it down if needed @SGH, ill notch it down. Ice test is still pending as noted in the thread though.

sweet.....can't wait to see the results

Not at all. I was going to peek at day 7, but a friend of mine assured me that it would hold ice for 7 days. On his word I'm going to peek at the end of day 8. Nothing against the Yeti, but I think due to the smaller size that it's not going to make it to day 10. I want to catch it close to where it peters out. 

Jeepster47

Hmmm ... three more days ... paint's almost dry ... grass is growing well ... guess I'll go watch that new movie that's out.  Hey Scottie, you might enjoy watching it too:

@SGH- if you want to closely check w/o opening I'm sure you could give the cooler a good shake and see if you hear any ice collisions-and that would be day 7 or 8 or....  And that 10 oz rig could be quite dangerous.
