Don’t have one but I’ve been looking to buy a Cordova Cooler for a while. Made in Idaho. 48 qt. is 26 lbs. and the 32 qt. is 19.5 lbs.

My interpretation of the rules are open to interpretation.
Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.

I have a couple of these from Walmart. Actually really nice and cheap and made in USA. I have a 28 and a 55 for 75-110 bucks.

Why not the Rtic Lightweight 52qt that weighs 21lbs? $179.99. I don't notice a big difference efficiency as far as holding ice compared to my other rotomolds.

It’s definitely high on the list. My holdback is it’s not much smaller than the 65. So you have one and you like it? I haven’t seen one in person.

I found em on sale for $129 I believe a while back so I picked up 2. This one is basically a dehydrated meal shelf. :chuckle:

I saw a nice igloo cooler about that size at Home Depot last week. If I remember right it was $99

I like it. I’ve got the divider and the baskets in my 65. You think it’s light enough to make a difference? They’re on sale $179 now.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I would think so, but I'm used to loading them full of ice or food/beverages, so I can't say it would work for your case. If you're in doubt, I'd skip the rotomolds and grab a normal 45.
