Testing different can and bottle types to see how they fit in the Yeti Roadie 15 both with and without the small cooler basket. #Yeti #roadtrip #yeticoolers #camping #cooler #basket
I have the pelican 8 cooler, and I absolutely hate it. Same problems as your 14 but worse. I ordered the roadie 15 and I'm never going back. I put the stupid Pelican up for sale, that sucker needs to go. Great video!
Nice video! Do you know if two bottles of wine or champaign can lay down on its side a long with a large thin yeti ice put vertically between the two bottles?
You can also freeze a bottle of water and use that instead. If you have access to a freezer during ur road trip, this works great and saves space as you can drink the frozen water too!
Hey Chris, thanks for the info/video! Question- just purchased a roadie 15 but wanna invest in the yeti ice. What size would you recommend and how many ice would be optimal? (I’ll also be using ice as well. Thank you
Thank you for the variety of can sizes/bottles and how you stack them with the basket I was thinking about also getting that basket too and it’s nice to know 2 of them fit!
I have been very interested in this cooler. One big question I have is will it fit the standard 4Lb. yeti ice blocks? I have a ton of 1,2,4 Lb. Yeti ice blocks and if they'll fit ill buy it in a heartbeat. I saw it works with the thin ice but id like to be able to use what I already have
I just got the roadie 15 and I have the standard yeti ice too. The large 4lb doesn’t fit, 1 medium fits or 2 small on the bottom. If you lay the large on its side you can fit it but you wont be able to fit the basket. Hope that helps
Do you think you could use it as a lunchpail for work or too big too bulky can you do a side-by-side comparison my buddies have the pelican as a lunch cooler
I have a pelican 14qt too and when measuring there doesn’t seem to be a huge size difference to where it will be a real noticeable difference but lugging the yeti would be easier with The straps than the pelican. I take my pelican to work and carrying it by the handle isnt that great. Definitely would like to have a shoulder strap
i had the original roadie 20 with the metal handle, have the roadie 24 now. if i had to do it again i wouldnt have sold my original roadie. the drain plug is such a huge missmon the 24 that it makes it almost a chore to purge the water and keep the contents in at the same time. i just ordered the roadie 15 and EVEN if it doesnt hold ice as long as the 20 and 24 i think it would be the best small roadie yet cause it will have the best of both world. nice compact footprint, easy latches, malleable handle, and drain plug. if you need bigger than that...well you have the new roadie 32 with the wheels.
I don’t think the 15 is worth it over the roadie 20. I do agree with you on 32 with wheels. That may be my next cooler. I want it in tan. As my roadie 20 and tundra 55 are tan. I have the 55 with wheels. Wheels are a must. Otherwise they are so heavy.
@@jamescurti9804 : i agree. i had the tundra 35, 45, and 65. they were all heavy when filled. i was stoked when they made the roadie 48 and 60 but noticed that they sit a bit high. then they released the roadie 32 and then i was like oh shit...thats the one!
My only concern with 32 is like you said the height. It don’t fit standing up in most car trunks. I’m in a suv now but will be going back into a coupe next year.
@@jamescurti9804: ymmv but from what i saw from online and in person the roadie 32 should be able to fit in the back of a trunk. the 48 is a tall boy which i think what yeti realized when they sent it out to the public. thats why they went on sale quickly and the 32 was made.
Honestly, I would like to see an ice retention challenge between the roadie 15 and the pelican 14 qt. Also in comparison, even though the yeti is built slightly more durable and perhaps it has slightlybetter ice retention I believe the pelican offers you more bang for your buck. And this is why… the pelican comes with the dry storage compartment at the top of the lid yeti does not have that it also comes with a dry storage basket, which you have to buy with yeti The pelican also has a bottle opener with a magnetic catch which yeti does not have . It also comes with a place to put your lock which comes standard. With yeti you have to order the locking mechanism thingy, even though it comes free. There is no drilling accessories and all of that nonsense with the pelican. With the yeti in order to place that locking mechanism thingy you have to screw this yourself not to mention if you want a bottle opener you will have to purchase a $20 bottle opener and screw that in yourself into a $200 cooler yikes. So my friend, would you please do an honest review of the yeti 15 and a pelican 14. Ty.
Thanks for this, I was curious about what you could fit under the basket.very smooth and streamline setup.
Thanks for the review! I can’t wait to order mine!
I appreciate the updated video. Keep up the good work.
thanks for the review! I can't wait for my tan roadie 15 to be delivered
Exact video I needed. Thanks!
Looks like a good cooler. I've sometimes laid drinks on the sides to get more space. Thanks for the video brother
Nice video, definitely plan on picking one up.
Oh, this is what I'm talking about! Excellent
Excellent video, thank you!
Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for the video!
This helps a lot. Just put an order in for the Big Wave Blue. Thanks.

How is the rubber seal compared to the roadie 24? I noticed it’s a lot thinner.
Is there any chance you can take a photo of the two coolers side by side. I want to see the size difference.
Oh yes I do know you and Jack Daniels! Great video Barnyard! Great to see you sharing your wisdom!
Thanks Todd !
You can also freeze a bottle of water and use that instead. If you have access to a freezer during ur road trip, this works great and saves space as you can drink the frozen water too!
That's a great idea!
Hey Chris, thanks for the info/video! Question- just purchased a roadie 15 but wanna invest in the yeti ice. What size would you recommend and how many ice would be optimal? (I’ll also be using ice as well. Thank you
YETI recommends the Thin Ice, 1x Medium and 1x Small. The Large won't fit at all.
Just ordered mine in charcoal yesterday.
I wanna see what fits after you put the ice packs in stuck between the 15 and the 24
Nice. I have a Hopper 12 for short road trips. Looks like you prefer hard cooler over soft even in the small sizes?
Yes I do. I just like the solid structure and durability with the hard sided coolers.
Thanks for this video!!!!!!
Thank you for the variety of can sizes/bottles and how you stack them with the basket I was thinking about also getting that basket too and it’s nice to know 2 of them fit!
How much bacon can it hold? That is my concern.
Best place to buy is REI with a 10% member rebate or the 20% off member coupons that we get multiple times a year
That’s exactly how I got my Roadie 24 and Roadie 48. Best way to get a deal on a Yeti. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Solid mention thanks for this, may get the 24 roadie soon

How much can be packed using a 2 or 4 pound Yeti Ice, or the ice block(s) you use?
I have all of the thin Yeti Ice blocks and I’m curious which one will be best. So yes I’d love to see him demonstrate that.
Does it fit a gallon of milk?
I have he original Roadie 29 with solid metal handle. I would not trade it for the 15 or 24/ maybe…..24 if it had wheels. Any thoughts ..

Would this work for a 12 hour shift lunch box? Debating between this and the hopper 12. Great reviews 👌
It should. I guess it depends on how much food you take. Thanks for watching and the comment.
What are the dimensions on the basket
google knows
@@Lerxstificationwhere there are no dimensions listed for it online
What is that green cooler?
It’s the Pelican 14 Qt Personal Cooler.
@@BarnYardOutdoorsthanks!
Excellent video, but it’s way too small for Gdamn $ 200!!
Do I need one? No. Will I have 2 by Halloween? Yeah probably
