I leave my igloo cooler at the campsite without worrying it’ll be stolen.
Or breaking your back moving it around. I have a yeti 45 , but it ain't all that. My wife got it for me when the over priced cooler craze was going on. You can get that Ozark at Wally World just as good for a fraction of the price.

yep, but what if the food are stolen, lol

Hasn’t happened yet…. but I’m not going to say it won’t ever! 😂
I modified my igloo a few weeks ago and put it to the test over the 4th ofJuly holiday. I filled it up with ice on Wednesday afternoon of the 3rd and of course added warm drinks. Had a party on the boat on the 4th. Didn’t do anything on the 5th and on Saturday the 6th, went back to the boat and Wholly Cow......... still have 1/3 full of ice and soaking in very cold water. Best tip I ever got on adding the foam to the lid of the cooler. Thank you
I drilled holes in the bottom of cooler and filled it with foam in a can also, after last year with 100 degree temps in SE TX and let me tell you, my little Igloo out did my buddy's Yeti BIG TIME. So try doin that, I'm sure you'll see a big difference. So recap, fill the lid with foam, and sides of bottom anywhere you hear it hollow. Thanks for video
You've cooked up a great reason to drink two beers at lunchtime!
lol haha ! For science!
I'm not a yeti guy but they're designed to be "pre-chillled". If you just put ice in it the cooler will absorb the radiant cold given off by the ice. If you threw another bag of ice in after the first batch melted it'd last you a solid week. I have a Siberian Alpha for rafting and my ice last 6-7 days in 90+ degree weather sitting in my raft.
Think I'll stick with the modified cheap cooler! You can buy a whole lot of fishing stuff and more ice
with $150.00 bucks ! Keep up the great content Jack ! MERICA!
Merica!
Yep, put that $150 in the boats gas tank for a half day of fishing.
Literally NO ONE gives a fuck
DLPIII, I do ignoramus!
@@Poppyblockhead Troll!
You don’t need to drill holes in that lid to fill with foam.. On the inside of the lid there is a plug located in the middle. It will easily pop out revealing about a 1/4” hole. When u finish filling with foam, temporarily strap the lid down for a day so it doesn’t warp. When dry put plug back in hole.
If you do drill a fill hole and/or holes for air to leave as the foam expands those holes should be on the outside surface. Keeps water from soaking into foam.
Bro what are you doing! If your wife says she's NOT going to drink beer out of the red cooler... then the red cooler just became that much better, more beer for you bro!
2009stevecry Is sooooooooooooooo right
Damn skippy
Nothing better than cheap beer in a $400 dollar cooler!!!!!!!
Merica! lol
If I spent that much on coolers, all I could drink is cheap beers. lol
I got my yeti 20 for $70 used. Still in great shape. So far I’m very happy with my purchase.
I own the 45 yeti and I live in my car out of choice and the yeti has been holding my ice. It’s been 70 degrees outside and more on the car in direct sunlight and it’s been 5 days and the ice is still there keeping my milk and groceries cold. It will probably last me the whole 7 days. A friend told me to insulate it from the outside and it can probably last about 10-15 days. Don’t know if that’s true but I’m gonna test it this Sunday when I go and buy ice. I have this custom made reflectix and I’m gonna wrap it to keep some of the sun from beaming on it and see if it will hold the 15 days but in the car 24/7 has lasted me 7 days. Thanks for the great idea though I might get a smaller igloo cooler and insulate it myself and store it under my seat since my yeti is huge and bulky.
As long as there's ice the water is going to be the same temperature. if you really want to make it cold add some salt to the ice water, it lowers the freezing temperature of the ice. it will melt it but it will also get colder.
*"Cause I'm about as American as two naddy lights in each hand while watching the blue Angels from a kayak in the middle of summer on the fourth of July"*
Yeah! Love it. Cheers from Canada and we don’t need coolers.
Well Jack, I favor your older red one. That's the one that carries a lot of memories and, I personally don't like changes. If it's not broken, why try to fix it. There's another reason too but, I'll refrain from mentioning it since this is not my channel and, I don't want to possibly tick off any other guests of yours.
Great video and, I appreciate your time and energy bringing us this "scientific" experiment 👍🙄😁.
Have a great weekend and don't forget the Mothers in your family.
Stan.
Love old red!
I’m telling you, GO LIFETIME cooler. 7 day ice retention, super tough AND made in America and apparently bears can’t open it lol!
Cheap cooler and cheap beer means more money for fishing stuff. Awesome vid Jack 🤙🤙
My thing is....
I spent a lot of time living from coolers. We camped a lot, growing up, and at a point our electrical went out in our trailer so I have experience with coolers both high-and-low end...
1) empty excess water 1-2 times a day.
2) seal everything tightly
3) Salt the BOTTOM LAYER OF ICE, only Kosher salt *DO NOT USE ANY OTHER SALT.*
4) Limit the amount of times cooler is opened; if you grab a beer grab 2-4 for everyone... if you need your food grab everything at once dont make 3-4-5 trips to the cooler.
I have several yeti cooler. Dig em. Don’t care what anyone thinks.
The real catastrophe here is your choice in beverage. Lol
My beer don't last 2 days 😆
Rightt! They advertise them stupid yeti cups saying it will hold a cold drink for 6 or 8 or however many hours in 98° tempature! Who in the heck leaves a cold drink for hours in that kind of heat.& yes youre right.who leaves cold beer in a cooler for days! I have a couple of them white igloo coolers for $30-$40.00 that are great.they keep fish on ice & beer at the same time.
"before you unlike and unsub.......it's just a cooler " hhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha i do cooler reviews too man, LOVED IT
I'll buy the shit cooler and fill it with spray foam. Dying fish don't know the difference. MERICA!!! Good video.
Merica!
I bought a lifesaver 55qt cooler from Walmart last week. Filled it with three bags of ice that night. About 50% ice after 5 days sitting in the back of my truck. I had the drain opened up the entire time. Made in America. That’s good enough for me. Looks like the lid is hallow so I’m going to expand foam that shit. 97 bucks.
"I would still probably have fish in both of them. MERICA!" LOL
Never give up on what works
I had to go back and read the comments from the last video. Funny!
My Yeti story goes like this. I bought one over ten years ago. Main reason was I never would clean my cheap coolers very well. I’m thinking I will clean out a expensive cooler, cause you know. Why wouldn’t I. Over the years that cooler has had everything from deer to frogs in it. Probably 100k road and boat miles on it. Not sure if it’s the best cooler ever but it stays clean. It’s still the only cooler that has lasted more that one summer. Love your channel btw.
And this was just a basic mod. I have seen people put rubber tape seal around the edge so the Igloo seels tighter. Putting layers of insulation inside to make the walls a bit thicker. So if you fully modded it you may get the same results as the Yeti still at a fraction of the cost. who knows. Nice build!
the modified affordable cooler all the way, plus it has character!
SO.... For 20 bucks,I could get drunk,build a cooler, put ice in, said cooler, fill it with beer AND Ice, drink more beer, nurse a hangover, get up the next day,AND still have beer? You had me at beer, subscriber
Noticed 1 person has so far gave the video a thumbs down. That one person is probably the same person that blew $200 on a yeti 😂😂
lol
Yeah, like the guy who made the video.
Dude you need to caulk the holes to keep mold from starting..js.. just found you channel... thank you for your sacrifice for this great nation!!!
A real test would be put ice in during morning than go into 10 times throughout the day. Then see if there is ice water in morning before grabbing more ice to keep your food good.
I think this is settled science, cheap cooler = cold beer and fish + more fishing gear. MERICA!
I like your old cooler better - no matter what the results - it has character- a great pirate chest - enjoy - God bless America
Enough said... Point made. U got my vote. Keep up the good work... AMERICA !!!
Bro that was awesome and made me laugh the way you did that! I have multiple different coolers and to me it's all the same within a day or so but I love the way you did it!
Great video! Any rotomolded cooler will be similar...I just like them because of how I mistreat and abuse outdoor equipment, not specifically for ice retention.....ORCA coolers....Made in Tennessee USA! Lifetime no hassle warranty!
Keep ol'red. Add some foam to the sides and bottom. Add more ice and beer.
Most of the time I don't have any beer left at the end of the day anyway.
Keep up with the great vids.
Thanks
If Jessica won't drink beer out of the red cooler anymore, then the red cooler would definitely be my beer cooler.
Great comparison. I always wondered about those high dollar ripoffs !!
Goes to show, even when you pay for that name brand, you don't always get what you pay for!! The money saved will buy you good times and plenty of cold beverages to put in that old cooler that nobody will steal.
It does not cost much to make a well insulated cooler. But they sell at an insane premium. I bought a 50 liter yeti rip off from killshot and it does the job. I only have to ice it once for a 4-5 day trip to Florida. It was still almost $200 which is insane but not yeti insane. Also do not forget that a seriously insulated cooler is no fun to lug around. If you are day tripping go with a Coleman or Igloo. You will probably need help lugging a big yeti or Rtic cooler for any distance when empty, let alone once you load it up.
My cheap Coleman goes down to the surf with ice, beer and bait. If I'm lucky it comes back that afternoon with ice and fish. Rinse, more ice, repeat the next day, so whether or not a Yeti can keep ice for an extra day doesn't matter the way I use it. I like the Yeti, just can't pull the trigger, but it is a nice looking cooler.
Captain Yak ....TASTE TESTING ......I LOVE IT !
Good stuff. I did this about 4 years ago and everyone thought I was nuts. Same cooler but blue. On top of insulation lid it made it a lot more solid to sit on. I did just take dive and order a pelican but going keep old blue around. I buy a bag daily and hoping to cut that cost down.
Lol, well played sir, well played. At the end of the day the beer is just as cold
haha! Yea!
Austin, Texas-based Yeti was founded by brothers Roy and Ryan Seiders, two sportsmen who decided to make coolers for the luxury outdoor market rather than for mass discount retailers. In 2012, they sold majority ownership of Yeti to Cortec Group Management Services LLC, a private equity firm.
Try filling cooler with Clorox water and soaking several hours after use. I do that after icing down fish or deer meat. Maybe That will make Samantha happy with it.
That was fun...great video Jack
Thanks for watching Danny!
This guy should change the name of this video to, Me laying out everything I own so you can see it all in the background...
If you’re jealous that’s on you. I didn’t even notice what you pointed out
"I bought it from America" LOL full of NASCAR light
Lol Merica!
Well i will stick with my 5 dollar i bought at a garage sale about 3 years ago..thanks jack for the test..atleast we know this was the real deal..
After you foam the lid make some of those ice grenades with salt inside them.... I have not yet foamed my lid but I usually was getting half a day before all the ice was gone.... and now with 4 ice grenades and a flat gel pack on the floor of the cooler. I am now getting two days per bag of ice.... the grenades get soo cold with the salt inside there that the ice forms and freezes to the pvc pipes to make one giant ice stick.
You can buy a huge pile of ice for $200... the only reason I could possibly see going with the Yeti or other similar style cooler is if you make a habit of going out into the middle of nowhere camping for several days on end and it’s a huge hassle to get new ice all the time.
Jack motley= America!!!!!
100 percent!
Yeti sucks, we just purchased a lifetime cooler and we love it, happy 4th of July everyone
Just buy a lifetime brand cooler, unlike yeti they are made in America, in Utah and Kentucky. And they are everything a yeti is except for price.
I agree with you 100% I bought mine on sale at wal mart for $76 and it keeps ice as good as my brothers yeti and its bear proof and made in America lol
@@brianj123458 I have one of their kayaks to, the tamarack. I have put it through hell and back and it's still solid.
It's like most kayaks made for lakes and slow moving rivers, but the river I live on is anything but slow. It's loaded with rapids, waterfalls and swift water.
I have run the river countless times and only got dumped twice, both the same night when we had a wild idea to run the river during a full moon. Was some of the best fun I have ever had.
Even sent a review to lifetime about it and they just laughed.
I try to buy American when I can and my experience with lifetime products so far keeps me with them. Good quality and good prices and puts Americans to work.
Just got my tamarack and I couldn't be happier. I took it out Saturday down the road and caught a 4 pound bass!
They’re made in KY? I don’t drink, and rarely use a cooler, but considered foaming my old grocery cooler. May just buy a lifetime to support a locally-based business
I totally agree with your comment. Except ALOT of American companies are now owned by foreign countries. So who is getting the profit? Both. It is a global economy. What scares me more though who is controlling America's wages and standard of living? I can give you an example from the company I worked for 30 years. And my pension is 35% less now. It was also the largest acquisition of any United States company. Bought by China.
Bought a Yeti for our motorcycle competitions. Besides holding the ice for the weekend, I forgot about the cooler and left it in the driveway. I ran it over with my 16 ft enclosed trailer. Totally unharmed. Tiny scratch on the side. If you like to buy something once, get a Yeti. I have had a lot of other coolers that cracked, broke, or otherwise shit the bed before the Yeti. Sometimes you get what you pay for.
There are a lot of tricks to help lower cost coolers keep things cool. Draining the water will reduce the amount of ice melt. (more important for camping and keeping meat cold) You can add a block of dry ice in the bottom and then add ice on top to help modulate temperature. Some people will add foam insulation to the inside of the cooler which will improve it even further. The ultimate question becomes, how much room do you need versus how long you want it to be cold. If it is just for a day or two at the beach. Add in a LOT of salt to the ice with a good mixing and bury it in the sand.
Almost everything you said is false
@@lebowskiunderachiever3591 No problem underachiever. I permit you to live your life in denial. The science is there. Best of luck.
Paying for a higher quality cooler is fine for me because I know the handle isn’t going to break off like the igloo coolers are. Also, it’s nice to have a cooler that you can stand on and won’t slide around.
When I did mine I put metal thermal tape on thine inside and outside of the lid after the spray foam and I promise you that would make it better than the yeti
I knew this was gonna be an awesome video when I saw you on Facebook. Never disappointed. Great job man
lol thanks Matt!
Exactly Bruh and Igloo and the hack for me. Until the Blue roller breaks "WEE GOOOD"
The only reason I see to get one of those $200 to $300 coolers is if you do a extreme fishing or camping trips where you can't get ice for weeks at a time and you have to rely on what you brought when you started and I'm not doing that any time soon so always go with the cheap cooler for a day or two of fishing or camping and I'm good with that. Also Wal-Mart sells their version for half the price and from what I can tell there's no difference, maybe you should try to do that experiment
Now I'd like to see a regular unmodified igloo cooler compared to the modified one. Be a nice "how well does this hack work" video. I'm intrigued by the foaming the inside hollow tops of these cheaper coolers. I have several. Along with a yeti.. it was a gift y'all! lol
nice!!!! Jack we need a kayak fishing video really soon please!
I've got the same Igloo cooler(except orange) and I'll be sticking with it! Thanks for the comparison though.
You earned yourself a subscriber brother.
Awesome!
Dood, you did just what I was doing last week too. lol
I go for the cheap one though. More space for the same size.. with Mod, it's almost the same. Marketing on Yeti...
Perfect timing! I’ve been trying to figure out if a yeti is worth the money or not! You’re the best 👍🏻
Give me the Igloo baby:) Just until I have more money than I know what to do with then I'll take the Yeti, just for the Ric Flair strut:) LMAO!
I would say the expensive colers are worth it if you use your cooler enough. I'm a truck driver and was using a cheap cooler for a while in the semi for my food and drinks. I then bought a pelican cooler and it very quickly payed for itself. Instead of buying a bag of ice every other day I was only buying bag of ice every 7-10 days, fast forward a couple years of using it and it has more than paid for itself... AND ITS MADE IN AMERICA! hell yea
See how Yeti ice got some dumped on ground. Ole Red, made sure every cube got in. Bogus test. LOL Waiting to see. Haven't watched to end yet
We have been doing this forever spraying foam into empty gaps of the cooler works wonders
That's good stuff! Call 'em out. Put 'em to the test. MERICA!
Awesome video bud great experiment
Thanks!
Great video, Jack!!
I will try the cooling improvement hack first before buying a high end cooler.
Mark
Good video, should go back and amend the 1st video, everyone wanted to know how close the Coleman was after the foam compared to the Yati. Great common sense, I'm going to go buy some foam and fix mine up, thanks, Great Job!
I love all your videos man you make great content and always make me laugh when i watch you
Thanks!
Just modified a vintage Cokeman 48qt cooler. Will probably keep in truck bed. Thanks for the tip and demo.
My daughter played travel softball back in the day before yeti was a thing. My $15 igloo cooler crept mutable drinks an our food cold through some seriously HOT days! I think yes I is a wast of money
Glad we didn't invest in the Yetti! Thanks for another awesome video Jack!
I'd say old Red is right behind the Yeti and has plenty of cool adventures left in it.
The yeti will keep stuff colder if you pre cool /freezing whatever you put in it
I have a ton of yeti coolers and yeti cooler bags… Got a great deal from my work and the bag is my favorite. The worst thing about a yeti is everyone knows I’m an idiot for spending hundreds of dollars on a damn cooler. I bring my cheap cooler Out most of the time in case someone wants to steal it. The yetis are great in my jeep and in my work truck, only add ice twice per work week in the summer. Don’t like dragging them on job sites or anywhere they will get stolen... cheap coolers for the win. The Dam yeti cups though... Are absolutely fantastic, and no one wants to steal him and share mouth germs... Especially after I’ve been kissing their mamas
OMG YOU DIDN't PRE CHILL " this test is invalid" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
oh noooo lol
I'm thinking about just duct taping a few layers of an old yoga mat or camping mat onto the inside and sides of the coiler lid and walls. What do you think about that idea?
Yeti is a rip-off! Great experiment. You know most of us only need a cooler for the afternoon or the day so why pay a fortune for a Yeti.
Exactly...
Think I'll seal the holes with a dab of silicone
weirdfish weirdfish. I'd drill the outside instead, then seal the holes after a month of curing. I'm not sure I'd want spray foam curing and outgassing into my fish or soft foods. I'd also do each of the sides and the bottom (less spray) because Igloo uses just EPS and has gaps.
I have one of those Igloo water barrels. I may try that.
You should upgrade your beer brother.
Samantha makes the videos better. She’s funny. Thanks for making me not waste money. I’ll stick to my old blue Colman that I’ve had for decades.
If you lived in a super hot state like FL or AL, I could see needing a cooler for the truck 24/7 that had ice cold drinks so you don't die of heat stroke; but for the rest of us in the cold states the 100*F temps only last 60-90 days. I don't think we need to spend that much on a cooler
I knew it! As soon as you beefed up old red I thought you'd do a comparison. Good video - I'm off to buy great stuff
Oh yes..I forgot..love watching your videos and have much respect for you and your beautiful wife. Thank you for your service.
Glad to see you posting again consistently. How's the new crib?
Thanks Nathan! Its getting there!
Cheap works 👍. Always a cold beer is a good idea for Friday afternoon 😊
Cooler brands, shapes and prices are personal preferences, as for the fish smell, well I'm on your lady's side. Not much is nastier than being thirsty and trying to drink something with a fish tainted smell to it. Appreciate you and your channel. Keep it coming and keep it real. America!!!
Merica! It just adds a little zest!
@@YakMotley, you say "Merica", I say "America", Semantics doesn't change the fact that we live free in the greatest nation on earth thanks to the sacrifices of a few good men and women. THANK YOU!
Am planning to mod my Walmart Coleman coolers. Buddy, time to spruce up the back yard.
Welcome to the yeti family
Saw another video with a Coleman cooler and they upgraded the lid where it locked down like the yeti and put some thin weather strip to seal the lid. If you did something like that to your cooler it would equal the amount of ice at 2 days an still only cost around 40 dollars.
Thumbs up for you👍
