Do the cooler test during summer in Florida then we’ll really know which cooler is the best. Please 🙏

@outdoorempirecom Ай бұрын

Florida is a long way from Idaho! But I like the idea.

I was just asking for this video! Im excited to watch this

Appreciate this video, very cool 🙏

I bought a Coleman 316 based off your videos. It's been great so far, and for 35 dollars It was a steal. I wonder if anyone makes a vacuum flask style chest cooler. That would be cool as hell even if it would be expensive as heck.

@outdoorempirecom Ай бұрын

Awesome, glad you like it! I'm impressed by those Colemans, can't beat the price for what you get. As far as a vacuum flask style cooler, there is the Oyster Tempo I've done a video on that uses that sort of concept. And you're right, crazy expensive!

Good video as always! Video idea, you made a video about your thoughts on Yetis, what about the same type for RTIC?

Great suggestion!

I have a 12v Alpicool refrigerator. Any suggestions on how to add insulation to the lid?

@Zach-uc1el Ай бұрын

Why not put an soft inexpensive cooler in a hard inexpensive cooler coolerman?

RIP Coho 55. Good to see it's filled with the good stuff. Think I missed the results in the last cooler competition for that one.

@outdoorempirecom Ай бұрын

It was in the first ice challenge video from a year ago. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJZ-mM9kmpfXkps.html

@YelloEye Ай бұрын

I saw the first ice challenge one where it was neck and neck with the RTIC 52, impressive to see. As you mentioned in the latest ice challenge, it was more granular due to the cooler weather which may have split hairs between the two.

Welp, there's a few coolers that won't be included in the giveaway.

@outdoorempirecom Ай бұрын

Actually, I'd be happy to give these away. Not sure anyone would want them though. 😂

Oh no sommer is here, now we get coolers for 4 mounths and no outdoor gear videos :-(

Bruh, no one serious has cared about coolers in a long time. Get a 12v refrigerator and move past coolers. I ditched Yeti 5+ years ago and would never go back to a cooler.

@twloughlin Ай бұрын

Bruh, some people just want to hang out at the beach or the lake for a day, and some people don't want to drag around a power supply in addition to their cooler. 12V is nice if you're out for a long trip and have easily available power, but for a day outing, a small cooler gets it done. Chill.

@outdoorempirecom Ай бұрын

I'm gonna test that.

@mattallen8453 Ай бұрын

Then why are you here?

@mattallen8453 Ай бұрын

And also, what does “no one serious” even mean? Serious about what?
