4inch ice cubes would think 12 of them would last a good while in the fish box!!

Here we go LOL!!!

Does it freeze from outside in or inside out?

Left to right

You had to go and do it????:confused:

We've been over inside out frozen ice and outside in frozen ice now we have this to deal with????




































j/k, check out this thread http://www.saltycajun.com/forum/show...light=question to see what I'm talking about if you haven't already.

Glad i could be part of SC history!!!!

I bet you could put some custard and those in a yeti and get ice cream in 30 minutes

speaking of yetis, just picked up a new 35qt yesterday... to put some big ice in....

Make sure you precool it.

Yeah, I had to buy a bigger chest freezer to fit my yeti in.

Lmao, just bring the freezer with you. It's lighter than the yeti, and will hold ice just as long once it's unplugged.

Once more... Inside-out on top, Outside-in on top

Oh wow....had no idea what I just walked into. lol

I just bought a Yeti hat and put it on and I am now frozen

Make sure you chain it down!

Here's my big ice makers. Been using them for years. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. They even come preloaded with colored ready to make ice, but I prefer to drain them and use the good old fashioned clear ice. Sometimes I use a different shape that has on the outside of it something about Blue Bell or the miniature ones. There is also a store in Lake Charles and Sulphur that sells orange leaves (although I've never seen any) that has some.

Some of you guys crack me up. Don't you think it's common sense that a cooler with 3" of insulation should be cooled off in an air conditioned area before using it??? Think about it for a second. Once all that insulation gets hot, a yeti is pretty much like a frickin oven.

Had you read the entire thread you would realize that the cooler continued to lose ice rapidly even after cooling it off. IDK if that was a shot at me.... I aint mad atcha.

I make fresh brewed tea in mine during the summer!

Last year when I was running jugs and catching all that fish, I had to throw
away at least 50 pounds of ice, because it froze from right to left using some big jugs. Knew it was suppose to be left to right, so I didn't want to chance it. ;)

My cheap igloo's from Walmart cost a fraction of a yeti and do just the same thing. I like my money to much to buy expensive stuff just to say I have it knowing it isn't any better. Hinges are my issue but they cheap also. As for ice, I freeze gallon jugs for free. Now I can afford a tank of gas!

Can't compare no igloo or coleman to a yeti..... Yeti is the ticket!

Tupperware is much cheaper

It wasn't a shot at anybody in particular, that's why I started my sentence with"you guys"

Really?? Yeti is in the same class as a cheap igloo??? That's gotta be a joke because I sure am laughing my *** off!

Kinda, I have zero experience with a yeti so I don't know. I never had a issue with a igloo so never looked at them. I would defend them also if I paid a few hundred for a ice chest!

Put ice in a yeti 6 months ago....still has ice!!

A Yeti is heavy enough to sink the Titanic, I know that much about em. I've got one of those Igloo Extremes (I think that's what they call it) and, I'm pretty happy with it. I couldn't pay $300 + for a cooler either...Everyone borrows my dang coolers and, never bring em back!:rotfl:

This is what I use to make my ice cube, one will make an ice cube ~80lbs. I still have one in my Coleman extreme that I put in during mardi gras (been keepin it out the sun).

You got one of them forklifts that hangs on the back of your truck like Doug Ashy? 80 lbs of just ice. Geez.

Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Before we got the ice machine at the camp, we used tupperware to make block ice. Just need a deep freeze and a little lead time. :cool:

How many milk cartons were ever used to make block ice:confused: We used to have a freezer full!!!

If yall know somebody that runs a paper route or if you tight with the paper delivey person get them to give you or buy from them a stack of them bags they put the paper in when its raining. Fill em with water tie them tight and freeze them.

Balloons work good too, if you have room in your freezer.

Man, when you post it is valuable stuff!! Awesome idea.

On another note...those 20$ colored igloos don't hold ice for ****, if you gonna buy a cheap cooler at least get the marine grade. They hold ice a lot longer than them island breeze's...Bought a cheapo cooler for water at work and I'm spending more on ice than water...even with the inside out ice...Actually thought about upgrading to a high end cooler for this purpose...they are way too heavy for my boat though.

I was buying a 120qt igloo every year and in no time the hinges would break, the drain plug would leak or break, the latches would break or the handels would break. Then the inside would start cracking and start stinking like crazy!! At $50 a pop and only getting one yer out of them I sad screw it and bought 3 yetis. Not 1 problem in over 3 years. You do the math. I don't buys yetis to "keep ice longer" I buy them for the "wildly stronger". The new k2's seem a lot better than the old ones also

So you saying that your done with disposable ice chests?!

Lol!! Yes sir!

I just got a K2 for work, it stays in the bed of the truck under a tonneau. The less I have to buy ice the happier I am, I keep ice in a cooler almost 365 days a year so I get tired of stopping to top off!

Personally, I never could see being able to justify the "premium" cost of the Yeti. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but, is the Yeti worth paying upwards of 10 times the price of an equal sized regular cooler? Throw into the mix, the fear of theft. :(

never used a k2, but if its as tuff as the yeti like i hear you'll get your moneys worth. my 65 has lived outside and in the back of my truck for 6yrs. Very seldom has it been inside the garage. gets thrown around used for evey thing. It does keep ice a little better than any cooler ive had, but the durability is the big deal for me. I would have spent well over the cost of the yeti, buying coolers in the past 6yrs..... and will probably have the same cooler for another 6yrs or more, absolutely nothing wrong with it now.

10x is pretty far off, I paid triple for my K2 as a comparable Coleman extreme. And it will last triple the time, don't leave it where it can get stolen - do you leave your guns in the back of your truck?

I bought 4, 120qt igloos at over $50 per cooler in less than 4 years. Now I have a 110qt yeti that was around $490 after taxes, a 65 qt yeti that I got a great deal on brand new for $210 and 20qt for $190 and I guarantee you I will have these yetis for 20+ years. So for someone like me who uses ice chests all the time, they are more than worth it.

Gerald uses butter dishes. He has ice like that for free.

There are lots of people around that can get Yeti's for alot cheaper than normal price. Got a guy I go through that can get em for about 30% off. Like others say, they weigh entirely too much for fishing though. Once you fill one with fish and ice, you need a forklift to get it out your boat. I just use them for deer hunting and hunting trips/road trips.

There is no comparison on how long they hold ice compared to an Igloo though. Igloos are junk.

I think I've posted on here before. Anyone with a tax ID, can get a few friends together and make an order from yeti. With taxes and all it's close to 40% off. It used to be more of a discount, prices have gone up. I have 75, 65, 35qts. Bought all with that discounted price

Block ice. Nuff said?

Ray.....I have moved up to "big" outside ice.

.

When my ice maker gets full I dump it in a plastic grocery bag and put it in the freezer. It ads up quick and lasts way longer than store bought. I fill up old plastic containers also.
