The retail price will be about $650. That's a Yeti cooler and a couple hundred pounds of ice $$$.
I do know a lot of people love Flextail's mini air pump.

I sense a lawsuit. Hers was patent pending. Maybe one of them will retain Rudy Giuliani. This is the one I was thinking of, from 10 years ago. m.youtube.com/watch?v=UFFUJgelbQU |

Actually if you go all the way to the bottom of the page I posted it has that video embedded. It's kind of odd.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to go all out and get a plug-in refrigerator, with aux battery and solar panels. Maybe next year.

I use a portable ice maker and a cheap cooler. My ice maker cranks out a bag of ice per day quite easily. I use it when camping in 100+ degree weather it keeps our coolers adequate. Paid $60 on Amazon. There was a few Youtube channels that specifically tested all available coolers and their respective performance/price and cut them open to show why each was better/worse than others as well as a few DIY tricks like drilling a small hole in the lid and filling with insulating foam, etc.
