This is an example of how everybody complains about stuff made in China but when it comes time to put up the money they don't want to pay the USA prices.

Most Yetis are made in the Philippines.

so he was correct, it isn't Chinese junk. :)

I had no idea this was going to be such a lively topic!! Anyway, I appreciate all the feedback. You guys just saved me some $$$. Well, Cabelas Bucks anyway!!! I filled my Coleman Extreme for a camping trip last Monday and decided to see just how long the ice will last. Today is day 7 and it still has grapefruit chunk of ice. It is sitting outside behind the house, morning sun and afternoon shade. Temps just shy of 100. I think I all ready have a great cooler. As I said earlier this one is 20 years old. Wonder if the new ones are as good or got cheapened up?

Whilst???????

why the reference to birds cheeping?
I do understand the tendency for someone who got suckered into $300 for a $99 cooler to defend it however.

Thanks for adding to my vocabulary:C.
Now does this mean that whilst snipe hunting you find your prey by listening for the cheep?:D.

I haven't thought about ever spending that much for a cooler that would be too heavy when loaded for me to transport even if it made its own ice.

I have one of the Yeti bag type coolers and it works very well. But I didn't buy it. I used a store credit I got when I bought a very expensive Kayak. They gave me some store cash so I got the Yeti. It works very well. We even took a trip to Hawaii a few months ago and my wife brought it on the plane as a carry on. We didn't put ice in but put snacks and other stuff in it. So when we got to Hawaii we got to use it as an ice chest for going to the beach and the volcano. That worked out real nice.

Make you own blocks of ice.

They will last way longer than store-bought ice cubes in any cooler.
