    Picked that up from a podcast I listen to. The "beer fridge" in the garage has a bunch of frozen water bottles in it to help act like thermal batteries in the event of a power outage.

    Not like I'm concerned about power outages for long durations of time in South FL . . . [/s]

    I think I mentioned the cooler-cooler earlier in the thread and I was just filling it up so I thought I would post pics of my El cheapo solution:

    This is a thread where I built a boat I designed and which I very occasionally update with accounts of using it, which is really fun as long as I'm not driving over logs and blowing up the outboard.

    When we were in Florida working on Irma, we started out triple-bagging ice from the motel to keep water cold. I bought an Ozark Trails soft cooler, the thing worked great. There would still be ice in it in the AM. I'm hardly a Wally World fanboi, but this line of goods is the goods, so to speak.

    Somehow, I've always managed to get by with such nonexotic coolers as Igloo Oscars and similar.
    Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.

    As a recreational boater that may stay out for days at a time, I see a good ice chest as a worthwhile investment.

    Regarding cheaper alternatives, I have tried almost all of them (other than RTIC.) While some of them hold ice almost as well, none of them have held up in physical construction nearly as well as my Yetis have. Saving a hundred bucks doesn’t always pay off depending on your use.

    This. Boating in S Louisiana and FL made me appreciate the Yeti in the boat. Keeps ice for days and is the prefect standing, stepping, sitting platform.

    Just an FYI, there's much more to the story so you may want to put the pitchforks down for now...

    No CS Tactical does not sell Yeti but our sister company does.
