Cooler update:
I decided to bring the orca out for the Moab trip because it was a good size for this trip. I loaded it on Wednesday, May 25th with a block of ice (frozen half gallon), ice from my freezer and 8 frozen pork tenderloins. It stayed primarily in the jeep. It kept ice until Sunday, May 29th and was still very cold. I was in and out of it quite a bit taking out water bottles and adding new bottles. I added ice on Monday (half bag), then a full bag on Wednesday. I literally never took the cooler out of the jeep. I used a makeshift cup to empty some of the water because it was getting pretty full. Yesterday afternoon,June 4th, it still had a few pieces of ice.
All in all, I am extremely impressed with this cooler. The only negative was that the rubber latches seemed to come loose occasionally at first, but I was cognizant of it. After a few days it seemed to not have any issues. The seal stayed tight and never leaked water during riding, but I didn't turn it over intentionally to test it. Don was running the same one, curious to hear his input. I know the big block of ice made a great impact. I also noticed, on the last day unfortunately, that the gas station had blocks of ice on the side.
