Pelican

IM 70QT Elite Cooler

Simple and functional

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Usage: This thing has great insulation. It has easily kept block ice through several four day spring camping trips in the 40s/70s for a family of 4. Will be taking it on a week long trip in warmer temperatures soon. Size/Weight: No issues fitting it in any NPS bear lockers so far even though it?s enormous but for sure check the dimensions of the bear lockers where you?re going. It is hard to peer into it while inside the locker but definitely possible if you need to grab something quickly. It?s extremely heavy when loaded and definitely requires 2 people to move. Child Safety! This thing is huge and both my children (<5yo) climbed inside as soon as it was delivered. I store it away from children and with the drain plug out since the nature of coolers (especially big ones) make them a suffocation hazard. Features: Drain plug and latches work great - especially the latches. They?re easy to use and seem to be bombproof. I don?t fish but I guess if I ever need to measure something while I?m camping I can lay it on the cooler. It also looks cool or whatever but I can?t admire it because it?s always in a bear locker ????? Would be cooler if the cup holders were a larger size like most reusable water bottles but they look perfect for beer.
