Coolers You Can Sit On When Camping
Serious campers like you want a cooler you can sit on when you’re out camping with the family. What good is a cooler that you can’t sit on anyway? It’s usually the most convenient thing anyone can find when your sitting back relaxing having a beer at the end of the day.
So many everyday coolers these days are made dirt cheap and don’t take this simple reality into account when they’re designed. The avid camper wants good quality gear where the lid doesn’t feel like it will buckle in at any minute when someone sits on it.
A lot of people don’t mind putting up with cheap camping equipment because they won’t pay a few extra dollars for quality well designed gear.
But I’m guessing that you’re not like a lot of people. True Blue Coolers are designed with you in mind. We know that you want quality equipment that is designed for how you’re going to use it, that is a pleasure to use and that will be around next year and the year after and for many years to come because its a quality product.
When you’re in the market for an ice chest you can sit on, then it’s time to upgrade to a premium True Blue Cooler. Check out our website atwww.truebluecoolers.com
How Do You Use Your Camping Coolers, and Do You Have More Than One Size?
What is the best way for you to use your ice coolers? Do you have more than one and what size and quantity combination works best for you? We find that no matter how many coolers we have, we always find ways use them because they’re so handy. When we went away camping on the last long weekend we used 5 camping coolers in sizes from 27qt up to 105qt.
It pays to have a variety of camping coolers when catering for a big group.
One 70qt Yosemite is like the freezer with all the frozen meat etc as well as milk and milk products. We pre-froze all of the meat and put plenty of ice in there to make sure it stayed ice cold. Starting with such a pre-chilled cooler worked great … things stayed so cold we actually had to pull out the meat about 4 hours before we needed it because it was still frozen.
Making pizzas on the smooth food-grade surface of the 70qt Yosemite cooler
One 85qt Denali cooler was used for all our cold beverages – beers, sodas etc. We keep lots of ice in this one and find the perfect amout is about 1/2 drinks and 1/2 ice until it’s full to the top. The drinks cooler was opened constantly (of course!) and yet even after the last icy cold drink was gone it still had plenty of ice remaining. It was great having a cooler that kept ice for the whole trip without needing to go to the store to get more ice.
We used a 105qt Yosemite like an insulated pantry where we kept things like fruit and vegetables that don’t need to be all that cold but they might spoil if we left them out in the summer heat. We didn’t use ice in this one, however it stayed reasonably cool at around 64 degrees when the ambient temperature outside was around 91 degrees.

One 27qt Yosemite we used for our dog meat (we camp with 5 dogs!). We had the dog meat pre-frozen in a 4qt ice cream container. It had no other ice or ice packs inside so there was quite a big air space which isn’t the ideal way to pack a cooler however the results were surprising. We put a thermometer inside and after 2 days it was still 39 degrees inside! With just that one block of frozen meat, it stayed as cold as a refrigerator for several days in the middle of summer which is a great result.

One 50qt Acadia is used as a storage box for all our cooking utensils etc. Of course we didn’t need to use a cooler for this however we had it there and it packed really well in the back of our vehicle so we thought we’d use it.
We had the extended family along so it was great having so many coolers on hand to be able to use them so efficiently. With having so many coolers now we wonder what we ever did without them.
With so many people there we used the coolers as seats for people to sit on, and also as a step up to setup our tarp over the communal area. We even used them as a barrier around our Weber barbecue to keep the kids away from the hot surfaces during cooking.
We made pizzas using the Weber and needed a nice flat clean surface to roll the pizza base. What better surface than the top of a 70qt Yosemite cooler which worked a treat!
We used to use a much lower quality type of camping cooler however we found that we constantly had problems with the hinges, lids and latches breaking. That’s what led us to go into business as True Blue Coolers to develop a better quality of cooler that would not only keep our food and beverages cold for the whole camping trip, the coolers themselves also wouldn’t break all the time like the lower quality ones did.
For more information about how to keep ice longer and getting into really good quality coolers that last for a long time, check out our main website at www.truebluecoolers.com and request our Official Guide to Quality Ice Coolers that Eliminate the Hassles Associated with Traditional Coolers.

Denali Coolers
The Denali is our premium cooler with quality fittings and additional ice holding performance. In test after test, the Denali outperforms the other ranges by at least one to two days. The latches are specially designed rubber draw down to provide excellent compression on the seal and are extra wide to provide far more durability than the common elastic pull down latches. The hinges are the best design that we have seen on any ice chest, anywhere, and are fully integrated into the cooler body and lid and have a marine grade stainless steel hinge pin making them last longer.
See below for photos of the True Blue Denali range:

- A textured finish which tends not to show the scratches as much as the finish on our other ranges and is overall a more stylish looking cooler.
- Anti skid thermo plastic elastomer feet on bottom of cooler – for slip reduction and non marking. Ideal for boat surfaces.
- The drain bung is semi attached so it cannot be misplaced as easily.
- This range of coolers also have rope handles as well as grab rails for added convenience and makes carrying and lifting a breeze.
And, as mentioned above they feature a more advance latch and hinge system than your standard ice chest.
