The benefit of US made coolers that I appreciate most is that their manufacturing employ working class Americans which contributes directly to the local economy. Great job weighing all the different pros and cons.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Indeed that's a big one. And there are some great options at reasonable prices too.

Cordova cooler makes my camp along with my lodge cast iron and riffles.

Thanks for another great video of information and dry humor Based on your factory tour and recommendations of Cordova we bought a 88 qt Basecamp on sale for $289 Had it out last weekend and it’s awesome

[@NinerK]

Also, our daughter lives in Meridian :) hoping to stop by the Cordova factory next time we are out there

[@theoutdoorempire]

Great to hear! Cordova is a great outfit. If you get a chance to stop by their factory when you're visiting family, they have a nice little reception area where you can buy their gear or even get a special deal on a factory second. Cheers!

Thank you for producing a well, written, useful video

[@theoutdoorempire]

You're very welcome!

[@RonSpomerOutdoors]

Well done. Plenty of detailed information with clever entertainment value. Got any slightly used coolers for sale?

[@theoutdoorempire]

Thanks, Ron! I have plenty of slightly used ones. I probably should start selling some, but I imagine building a boat dock out of them one day.

Please do you know who makes the Steamy marine pro 155 cooler?

[@tb693ny6]

Orion Coolers purchased after 9/1/23 5 yr now....

[@theoutdoorempire]

Whaaat??? Dang, that's a bummer. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

What is your opinion on Brutank coolers? I want one

[@theoutdoorempire]

Very nice with some clever features like that drink tank with its own spout. Feels super high quality and did quite well on ice retention when I tested it. I haven't quite used it enough yet to know how much I really like it, but it seems pretty solid.

Ten million views on 100 videos and we're starting our own cooler company. Maybe one designed specifically for better vehicle use.

[@theoutdoorempire]

Roam makes one they advertise to overlanders that I haven't checked out yet. Maybe that would fit what you're looking for.

Careful when mentioning the Federal Reserve, people have been getting lonely real quick afterwards 😅😅...

[@theoutdoorempire]

Good to know! But oh man, I hope the internet overlords can take a lighthearted joke. 😂
