Last year I bought an Igloo Sportsman 70qt cooler from Sam's and love it. Nowhere near as expensive as comparable Yeti or other coolers. $199.00 Still expensive but at that price I can almost rationalize the cost.

Only problem with that test is that it doesn't go into durability. My coleman will not handle the abuse of a rotomolded cooler. I won't even stand on it, afraid I'll cave it in.Originally Posted by gt40

I stand on mine and I weigh 230 lbs. and becides I can buy 8 of them for 1 Yeti. I've had mine 2 years and it is still in good shape and I don't have to chain it down so it doesn't get stolen like a Yeti.

I bought a Pelican 90 qt for long hunting trips and Ive never been happier with the choice
Ice for 2-3 weeks is common and solid latches the sun doesn't destroy

We have a Coleman extreme and that thing holds ice really well. I grew up spending my summers with no electricity, running water, etc. Everything we wanted in, we packed in a horseback. From our cow camp it was 5 miles a horseback to their nearest pickup, and 75 miles to the nearest store, which took about 3 hrs in the pickup, you didn't run to town for a gallon of milk. All of our food was kept in coolers, and not very pricey ones. The biggest thing to keeping ice fresh and to keep it from melting is to drain it regularly, keep the cooler out of the sun, and never user cubed ice. Block ice lasts exponentially longer, especially if you drain it regularly.
