I learned how much coolers weigh when I use to ship the 120 quarts back from Alaska. Waxed fish boxes are lighter and with the cost of freight a lot more economical.  Pay a local butcher to put your meat in the freezer and ship home partial or totally frozen. You can buy your yard bird ice at home and not have to buy them a plane ticket! It's a lot colder up above in the friendly sky's then you would believe.

:yeah:

Shipped my Sitka buck home this way. Had the quarters frozen the put them in game bags in the waxed fish box. I packed all my sock/shirts/undies in plastic bags and used them around the edges to fill in the gaps and act as insulation. I'm heading down your way today and if you want a waxed box for free let me know and I can meet you off I-5.

 :yeah: Nice, They go from10-15 bucks!  I save mine. Paint them florescent orange and ship my beer or corn on the cob up to Alaska. Trade the corn, drink the beer and fill with fish and bring home.

Why paint Hi Viz Orange???? When your at the Yakutat Airport and there is 100 identical fish boxes...you'll learn!
