YETI

After about a year of holding out and going to ranches with buddies that have them I finally pulled the trigger on one. 65qt wich is plenty big for me and still easy enough to carry and move around. Come on hunting season.

I heard for holding drinks and stuff they're like everything else, but for storing food for days it's great. If its grizzly proof then how come you can cut those rubber strips?

Awesome. Wish I had the money to get one.

If you pre cool them the ice will last a couple of days, had one out in Ranger tx about a month ago for two days on the front porch and when we left it was still full of ice. As for the Grizzly you are able to put locks on the lid which do keep bears out and moochers who some times forget to bring there own bevreges.

You'll enjoy it. I like mine.

Congrats, They are good coolers, I'm have two coolers from grizzlycoolers.com and love them

Nice

inlaws bought me the 45 quart for my birthday.

i use mine just about everyday now.....I love it

i want a yeti so bad

Wife and kids got me this 75 for fathers day. Now I want a roadie.

So how do they work?

why cant i have inlaws like that

I've only owned cheap coolers so it's not a fair comparison. But it's the best I've ever had.

great photos of your coolers guys.

got a 65 quart for my birthday
i finally used it last weekend. made stainless lock plates for both sides.just to make it harder to steal
I love my YETI

red_breast, im diggin the color of yours "HOOK'EM"

you don't know the half of it.


for christmas they bought me a bow

for my birthday last year they bought me a limited run Buck knife G3 numbered 273 of 500.



I figure a few more years and they'll have me paid off for getting their daughter out of the house.

Now that made me laugh

Ice
The most important thing coolers have going for them is the ice inside. In order to melt, a block of ice needs to absorb a considerable amount of energy. The ice and ice water will stay at freezing temperature until the ice has nearly completely melted, so even without the insulation of the styrofoam, a cooler could probably keep your food cool for several hours.

Convection and Conduction
An ice cooler mainly has to prevent two kinds of warming: convection and conduction. Convection occurs when currents of a fluid such as air move heat from a hotter object to a cooler one. Conduction occurs when heat moves directly from a warmer object to an adjacent colder one. Coolers are designed to minimize both kinds of heating.

Preventing Convection
When a cooler is opened, convection currents immediately take their toll. Warm air blows in, melting the ice inside and warming up the cooler. As long as coolers are kept closed most of the time, convection does little to warm them up. Air currents can warm the surface of the cooler, but this warmth takes a long time to get inside because of the insulating properties of the cooler.

they are the best, I have a lil roadie a 65 and a 120 and wouldnt trade them for any other cooler out there

i love mine

Dang, I keep getting one upped

Just got a 65 for free when i bought my mule at UV County.

i love it

Spend $8000 and get a $350 yeti, HECK OF A DEAL

You upset because you don't have a utv? Or is it a cooler that doesn't fall apart after two years.

Better yet just move along if you have nothing positive to say in the photo section

ITS CALLED A JOKE your a clown you should be able to take one!!!!!!!

I spent 13000 for a ranger and I didn't get crap.

^^^^

i need new inlaws, these hallmark cards just arnt gonna cut it anymore

Had a roadie and a 65. Handle of crown and a two liter bottle of 7up will not stand up in the roadie..I guess I should drink beer...

Love my yeti for the boat and dropping off with my truck, hate to carry the heavy bastage!

I have a yeti for sale... (Gen 1) I'll let it go for ... $200 obo!

We have YETIs in stock!

That oughta move quick at that price!

I need a yeti

Sweet!! I got one and love it.

Love mine! Have a 75 and filled it with ice last Saturday, still had ice chunks yesterday evening. It has been in the back of my truck the whole time in the DFW heat! Unreal how well it holds ice.

This inspired me. I bought one online just now!

ordered one yesterday

I keep waiting on a rich uncle to give me one. Maybe I should by a UV. haha

Those are nice coolers, but man.. they are expensive!

I wouldn't mind having a 120 to put some deer meat in for a few days. But I can think of a lot of different things to put that kind of money on than a cooler that cost that much. That's not to say I don't want one or wouldn't take one if I had won it or given to me though.

those are nice but to expensive for me

The price of a cold beer is expensive but worth it when it 100 degrees

The deal with yetis is less about ice longevity and more about longevity...period. While they do keep ice longer, they do not keep ice longer when using them for beer at a 4th of july event...bc the cooler gets opened every 2.5 minutes.
But, when you look at buying a $50-60 coleman extreme every year(becuase the handles on those suck and the casing splits) it really does make sense..I have the 65qt tan with the duck/deer/fish logo on top. Love it.
Can develop a HELL of a vacuum though!!

So worth it!
