Coolers

I have a Coleman cooler unsure of size but it has been the best cooler ever. Just got back from a 3 day trip and it had a bags worth of ice still in it. Also have an igloo cooler let me say I have never owned an igloo that is worth a pile of coat hangers. I am going to get rid of it and get another Coleman. The igloo was a bucket of water after one day. I also use 1 lb of dry ice at the start in both to help the ice stay longer. Really not sure how igloo stays in business with the lousy coolers they have.

I could not agree more. The Igloos I have owned are junk and I will never own another. The Coleman coolers have always been as dependable as any camping gear I own. I own 2 Coleman extreme Marine coolers and once I ice them down, I have ice when I get back home after 3-4 days of camping and my kids open them ALL the time. Never a problem with Coleman coolers.

What do you put your dry ice in to protect your cooler from damage? I'm thinking about starting to use dry ice.

I put a layer of ice then put about 1/2 pound of or 5" x5" of dry ice then some more regular ice on top of it. I have never had any damage.
