Yeti Coolers are they worth the money?

[Nitro]

but being 'bear proof' for camping in bear country and able to take a repeated beating from the luggage folks on airlines helps justify them. Of course they hold ice a good while, but it sure is cheaper to add a chuck of dry ice to a 5 day (or 1 day for that matter) Coleman than buy a Yeti simply because it holds ice better...by that's my 02

We don't put dry ice in a cocktail..................

My buddy has one he got for christmas and he has his in the back of his truck with a lock and chain holding it in there.

Sensible fellow.

Hey Nitro

rest assured we don't either! but running out of 'cocktail' ice when you are 40 or 50 miles (one way) from the nearest store is a problem...that's why we add a few pounds of dry ice on the bottom of the cooler and top it with regular ice, some outside the bag, and some 'cocktail' ice kept clean in a bag. We have kept ice for a week this way....

Beer can be stored in the river.........

whats the price difference on a Yeti and a nice coleman, and how many bags of ice could a person buy with that difference?

For what it's worth.....

Im not talking about a cooler I am talking about the fridge/frezer. Its the most awesome piece of camping equipment I have bought.

 

[Hogchaser]

Sure they are better - don't you watch the ads on TV. !! LOL.. Yea they seem to be 200% better or more. Don't own one YET have several others so not a wise choice of money redistribution at this time.

 

[Paddle]

If money was no object I'd have 10 on them!!

I sure would hate to lose a $300 ice chest on the river!!

The Coleman 5 day has served us well for canoe camping. Ice lasted all weekend.

Bull One's web link showed the Coleman beating the Yeti.

Guys unless you're in a VERY remote part of the country, ice ain't but a couple dollars . . . just sayin.

 

[shakey gizzard]

I wonder if I could buy just the hinges?

 

[Muddy Water]

I don't care if it is going to keep my beers cold for a month, I can't get over the fact that the "school colors" line of yeti coolers only come in Texas, Auburn, Bama, LSU, and Florida colors.

Kinda what i was thinkin!!...........But the Yetis are nice coolers that are built right and do what they are intended to do but me being a poor man i cant see spending that on a cooler.

 

[grouper throat]

They're nice but the way my coolers grow legs and walk away, I can't justify losing one of them. We do carry one grouper fishing and they keep ice forever even in flur-da heat

I thought about one, but when I was on a hunting trip this year there was one at a camp next to mine and in conversation with the owner of it I asked how he liked it.His words were I like the 5 day beside it 2 to 1 better, and it is not worth the money I paid for it.

 

[CamoCop]

wish i could afford the initial cost! i know i have spent more then they cost over time in coolers but just can't bring myself to pay $300.00 for a cooler.

My biggest concern would be somebody stealin` it. I just about always keep a cooler in the bed of the truck.

Me too
