Well, we could play with some more math.  Yeti claims their ice chest will keep block ice for a week.  I wonder if that is true, if the box is repeatedly opened, but haven't seen fit yet to spend the $300 or more bucks for the box to find out.  However, the box is approved by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee for use in grizzly habitat for food storage (if you use Yeti's padlocks).

Ah, the dollars come and the dollars go.
