When we camp we like our beverages on ice. In the summer we have to buy a bag or two of ice everyday.
How long will ice last in a high end cooler?
I have Coleman Extreme I bought on an end-season sale a couple years back, it was reg. $99 on sale for $59.
Although I do pre-chill it using frozen plastic soda bottles of water it will keep frozen food rock solid for a week and the ice I load it with at home is mostly still there a week later when I get home.
The biggest mistake I see people doing is using an ice chest as a fridge, taking out a cold drink and adding a warm one back in will go through ice fast in any cooler.
BTW, in a review I read the Coleman Extreme series actually kept ice as well as the units that cost 3 to 5 times as much.
I did a Cooler Shootout search as suggested by Shadow Catcher. Came to the conclusion that I will not be spending the big bucks on a Cooler but the Coleman Extreme series did get my attention. I think I'll keep an eye out for a good sale and give e one a try.
