I used a Yeti cooler last week on a rafting trip in Oregon. Two days of 105+
weater, three days in the 90s. At the end of the trip, by my estimation, we
still had around 60% of the ice we started with. Hard to stomach the sticker
price, but it was sure nice to have a Gin and Tonic on day 5 with fresh ice.
