Hi mate. Thanks for sharing these tracks. Wondering if you know where you are at 8:49 around all those big rocks? It looks like an interesting spot to visit and the trail looks a little more adventurous than some of the earlier stuff. Is there a name of the trail of a map link you can share or even just some info on the place you started at?

Hey mate, the bushman people seem to either love or hate. Now that you've had it for a while, what's your take on it? Does it struggle to get cold or does it ice up like some other owners have experienced?
@davidcowan1583 Жыл бұрын
It's good as long as you pack it right and you get the temp right for then it's fine. The freezer does ice up a bit but it's nothing to be concerned about. I would hands down buy one the freezer is a bit small though.

Cheers for the fast reply. I've got an Engel but access is a bit annoying tbh I'm debating with myself a 65 or 85. I can fit a fair bit in my 40L Engel so I think 65 would be plenty tbh Some people have installed a fan in their bushman and that's supposed to reduce the icing issue

You can but you have to either take the door off or move them with a bit of force in the fridge itself. I would like a little more room to open the door but that's the best I could do with the space I had. If I switched the door around I might have more room.

Yeah mate pack to your heart content. I have taking this fridge to my waljers hard tracks, lithgows tough tracks, barrington tops and bridle track in hill end. Absolutely no dramas. You just need to pack it right. Even use containers is not a bad idea. But i just pack it no containers. Nothing really flies around. Only little thing i have found is that the second shelve moves sometimes but easy fix with double sided tape and now never had an issue. Worth every penny. I did the math and with this and not a chest and drop side i am saving anywhere from 50 - 70kgs. Plus with the lithium i am saving probably around 30 - 40kg on top.
