    No more ice!!!

    The 52qt is definitely bigger than we need as well for weekend trips, but it is nice having a super cold gallon jug of water to refill water bottles with. Definitely not a requirement and surely a luxury but I am okay with that.

    No more ice!!!

    Just as a follow up for anyone finding this thread via search... I have been using the fridge now essentially non stop for the last several weeks. I have been on several trips, long and short and have been really pleased with the fridge overall, not a single issue to report with it yet. I have...

    No more ice!!!

    I am glad that setup works for you guys, it has worked for others for many many decades and will continue to. For our setup a 100quart doesn't fit with what we're doing, but your method certainly works. From time to time when going with lots of friends we'll have a second cooler just for...

    That will probably make it a bit tough on the trout bite this time of year, but It's worth a shot. Bucks lake also has some great trout fishing.

    No more ice!!!

    My wife gave me an ultimatum (well we won't call it an ultimatum more like a **REQUEST**) that we figure out this cooler and ice situation. Over the years we've acquired through various means 5 or 6 different ice chests, all in search of the ultimate 4 days of use without restocking ice. We...
