Whats up folks.

Anyone interested in the outdoors, or camping is no doubt aware of the popular Yeti coolers. You know those $500.00 units that promise big, and actually deliver great results. Well, I needed a bigger cooler, and think I can make significant improvements to a cheap cooler for very little money.

I picked up this fairly cheap Igloo. I was going to buy the Coleman, but this one has an insulated lid, and the Coleman doesn't, also it has the latch straps to keep it shut.

So this cooler's well insulated and nicely constructed, it's weak point is that it doesn't have an air tight seal like the yeti does. But I think I can fix that with some sticky back foam strip that I bought to seal my truck tailgate.

Got that stuff around the rim.

This should stop a curious bear in its tracks when it sees it.
