Yeti coolers?

We have multiple Yetis. They are great when you need to keep stuff cold for days on end, especially in warmer weather. But for the average weekend camper? Totally overkill.

Definitely not needed most weekend campers. Have you any idea how often you replenish the ice in your Yeti and would it perhaps be a Tundra model? I have read a few magazines review of the product line and think the Tundra will best fit my needs at this point:

Also, the soft side cooler is not worth it, IMO. We have one and other than the fact it really is waterproof both inside and out, it doesn't do that great for keeping things cold for longer terms.

I've come to despise soft sided coolers for any use more onerous than a day trip.

Sorry for the delay, haven't been online in a few days. Yes, we have 3 different Tundras, I believe they're the 35, the 65 and the 105. I don't really know how often we add more ice because there's a lot of variables... temp outside, shade or sun, how often we are opening it, what we're keeping in it, if there's a block of ice in there, etc etc.

I think overall, the 65 is the best size. It was our first one. It balances function with weight... ie we can still lift it when it's full. The 105 gets REAL heavy once you fill it up with ice and drinks, it's best for the longer trips where we just leave it sitting in the garage of our toyhauler. The 35 is definitely on the small side, but good for a day trip when it might have to sit in a hot car somewhere, or I occasionally use it when I'm going to a farmer's market or some other grocery store that isn't that close to home. I just leave it in the trunk without ice and it keeps things cold for the drive home.

And, for the record, they were all purchased with Cabela's points. My husband travels for work and uses his Cabela's card for everything. The only thing I've paid for in cash was the straw and lid for the large tumbler, it was $10 or something.
