I plan on strapping the Yeti 45 to my back and climbing K2 with it so I can make a sandwich at the top!

Thanks guys for the input and suggestions,it's given me much food for thought. Providing I can rendezvous with this guy in Oregon I'm going for the Yeti at a discount. It's unlikely I would pay full retail for one. I have a fish cooler that's an igloo that works fine for hauling fish home from a trip. This one will be used for camping and my trips north when I am flying solo and want to keep my food cold and not swimming in water.
