coleman extreme will do fine

I also use the extreme coolers by Coleman. With two bags of ice and camping for 5 days 4 nights, it kept food plenty cool.Originally Posted by brutal

My Feedback
Yep. I got back from camping left it in the trailer for another 3 days. Still cold, still had a bit of solid ice, 8 days of cold. Under 50 bucks 5 years ago. Good coolers.
I have A huge igloo that does okay but only in the shade, direct sunlight melts the ice in a day or two. My hunting buddies have yetis and you can leave them out in direct sun and still have ice for 3-4 days in the summer. Hunting season and ice will last for weeks in the shade as long as you don't open and close it all the time.
my neighbor bought the hopper 30, while very expensive I have seen it keep ice in the middle of summer in the back seat of his truck parked outside for 5 days and the water was still very cold 7 days later, beer was still very chilly.
on our recent trip to Nebraska we did a test with the colster from yeti. After 1 hour a beer without was on the verge of Luke warm, not very good. With the colster it was like it had just been pulled out of the fridge. Completely worth the money.
I agree buy a (cheap) coleman 5 day cooler and keep it out the sun and your ice will last a longtime. This is what we did on a recent vacation it kept the milk cold and other stuff for a good 4 days before I felt I should ice just as a safety factor. If you just want to look at expensive cooler cabelas and sportsmans warehouse both carry them.
Check out the Pelican Coolers. Yeti quality (or better) and you save a few bucks.
I bought the 150 quart Pelican last year, best price I found was Adorama, $520.00 ish shipped. Used it on hunting trips to Neb and WY, ice lasts on average 9-10 days. I don't open unnecessarily, only to throw meat into and get vittles out of, keep it in back of truck and park in shade as much as possible. Liked it enough that I just bought the smaller 65 quart at Sportsmans on Sunday, I needed something smaller for dove hunting, it was $330.00. These things are built right.
I have bought many of the cheaper coolers over the last 20 or so years at $75.00+ and was getting tired of having to buy them every couple years. If I add up all the $$$ spent on coolers, these will be money ahead in the long run. Only time will tell, but so far I am happy with my choice.
Common sense is a punishment for having to deal with those who don't have it.
I have the standard fare, 2 Coleman Extremes and a Pelican 65 quart. I have taken several multi-day trips with the Pelican and the Extremes, and the Pelican, for me, was worth the money. I have been able to keep 3/4 full jugs of water frozen for several days in 90 degree plus heat in the Pelican, not so in the Extremes. The latches are very good as is the seal. I have borrowed some "more expensive" ones and I think the Pelican is about the best out there and it does cost less.
Posted on another forum. It seems Yeti has a competitor :
