[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 2848119, member: 10619"] My sh*t Coleman cooler has seen its last camping season, so it's time to Old Yeller her. I'm looking at the RTIC 65-quart which is a direct competition to the Yeti 65, yet at half the price. Reviews seem awesome, company seems to have decent customer service, they offer free shipping, and the 65-quart truly is 65 quarts, versus Yeti's 57-58 quarts. My scenario is this. I only camp. I'm not a deep sea fisherman, despite what you all might assume what with being in central OK and all, so I only need it for keeping my beer and hot dogs cold. My main goal is to not need ice every day/day and a half. Realizing you need ice when you've had one too many to drive sort of puts a damper on the summer festivities. I know these coolers out perform what I currently have by miles, but this is usually when they're packed, chilled, and left alone for a few days. I'll be opening mine frequently (lets say once per hour average) to retrieve beer, food, water, whatever. Cost aside, will I benefit from one of these coolers or should I just stick with the average wheeled Coleman/Igloo? If I could make my ice last even twice as long, I'd consider that a success. Like I said, I'm just trying to cut down on ice runs, not factor in a cost-per analysis. If you have one of these, have you noticed extended survival time of ice despite opening and closing the lid "constantly"? [/QUOTE]
