    Fill the large cooler with a bit of ice, then fill the smaller cooler with alot of ice, and put the smaller cooler into the bigger one so the ice lasts even longer, this is a great trick I use when I go camping for like 4-5 days

    I like Igloo. Made in USA, similar size to that coleman, cost me like $20, and keeps my stuff pretty cool throughout the day. I think Rotomold coolers are fine for long trips or emergencies, but for day trips they are kinda overrated.

    Nothing magical about a Yeti cooler, it's just basic science. The thicker the insulation, the better it insulates. The Yeti has twice the insulation as the Coleman so naturally it will do a better job. It doesn't have $180 of extra insulation though. Coleman should double their insulation and sell it for ~$40. Take that, Yeti.

    Still doesn't make yeti's worth it really though. You save what? 2 dollars every 2 days. Average American gets 16-20 days off. Assuming you use this cooler maybe twice that for other weekend getaways at maybe 40 days a year you would use this, then it may be worth it after 2 years. But thats only if you buy your own ice. Use your own ice from home? No cost there :) But my other main concern are that Yeti's weigh a lot.

    I love my Yeti's. Great for camping and fishing for a couple days!

    i have that yeti cooler. it really doesn't work as well as it cost during our hot 90+ degree summers. you open and close it all day the ice doesn't make it.

    I haven’t watched the entire video. But in the yetis whenever you want to go for the long time with ice you need to open up the water tap just a thread or two.
