As I pointed out before, Pelican is used by search and rescue all over the world, the military and scientific explorations. It's probably the best out there.
So far so good. I actually had lead levels tested for myself and one employee after we spent two years restoring a locomotive covered in lead paint. We were fine. Everything I do seems to either have lead, zinc, Hanta virus or some other hazard the state of California has deemed to be a cause of cancer.
Its about 1 1/2 miles north east of town so you cannot see it from Hwy 550. Its a National Historic Site. Quaint is a good description of Silverton. San Juan County where Silverton is has the highest terrain elevation average of any county in the US. There is not one square foot of agricultural land and no growing season. One paved road and no stop lights in the entire county. But you can ride your SxS (snow allowing) from your front door into some very beautiful country.
I was going to build up there from scratch on a piece of land I have but this is a long term lease from the HS. Honestly it was to good a deal over the time and expense of building. We will spend the worst of winter doing some traveling.

My reason for the better coolers was prompted by cooler size as compared to the needed ice capacity. Yes you can buy a cheap larger cooler and put 20# plus of ice in it. Or you can buy a smaller high efficiency cooler and only put 6# of ice in it to get through the same period of time with remaining ice. The Pelican I just used last weekend had 6# of cubes from my fridge put in Friday afternoon and last night at about 11 pm I weighted the remaining ice and it was still two pounds. Not a lot but the inside of the cooler was still under 40 degrees. So for me its the less ice used and easier to just fill from the home ice cube maker and not have to spend money for ice as much or as often. So honestly considering I am using this cooler virtually every weekend my savings in ice will probably pay for it in less than a year. With the less efficient coolers I was buying ice after 1 plus day. $4 for a 10# bag at the local convenience store in town.
You obviously haven't been to the south in the summer Lol. My coolers are more for the 90+ humid summer days. Those are the days a cheap cooler has trouble keeping ice. Especially when you are camping for a few days...
I lived in Miami in 2004-2005. And we get 90 degree high humidity days here. That being said, I have no need for a better cooler than the ones I own. Then again, I technically have no need for the hundreds of dollars worth of accessories on my Honda, and I don't actually need the Honda either.....
I hear ya man we actually don't "need" 95% of the things all of us have. To each and their own, I have Orca coolers and love them. My buddy is a re-seller so I got a great price. I doubt I would've ever paid full price so I'm glad I had this option. Now that I've been using one for a few years, I'll tell you they are worth the money. I've probably paid for mine with the money I've saved in ice alone.
I agree.. that's why I bought a $100 Rtic and not a Yeti.. it's worth 100 to me to have one that I can actually strap down and open the lid!
It gets hot and humid in the summer in OK/AR and with the ice chest on the rear deck above that hot motor, I cannot keep ice all day. For a weekend in the bush, I'm screwed. I hope the Pelican speaks to this.
Old forty five, any luck with elk??? I'm going tomorrow first time.
