What Yeti Size?

Freeze gallon water jugs for your food cooler. As they (frozen gallon jugs) melt, use as drinking water. Have another cooler filled with ice. Keep as much food or drink as you can, OUT of your coolers. You'd be surprised. If you're floating in the summer, then, having ice is critical. Having nothing cold to drink halfway through a long, multiday float is absolutely demoralizing. Example: Instead of taking a ton of beer and using valuable cooler real estate keeping it cold, take a 12 pack or less, and bring a bottle or two of bourbon (decanted into a clean plastic liter soda bottle of course). That liquor doesn't need a cooler. See?

Thirdly, why is a (specific) cooler playing such a large part in your plans?

I think your Yeti will understand if you have to leave him home on this adventure (sniff).

or just take a yeti and keep whatever you want cold.

If I could get a cheap Yeti, I would. I mean who wouldn't want the best at a great price?

Enjoy the float. It's been 20 years plus but my bestest buddy and I did a five day Buffalo/White River float. What a great time that was. Except for the running out of ice part. Thank goodness we were smart enough to bring along some good red wine.

We were green as grass about the White River at the time. Pulled the boat out at Buffalo City and walked upstream to see if the campground was open and maybe had some ice. It was abandoned. When we got back, the boat was gone! The river had risen about two feet in less than an hour. God loves me though, and the canoe was twirling around and around in an eddy about 200 yards downstream. That was the last time I ever left a boat untied that was not in sight at all times.
