No more backaches. Just grab and go.

Now let me tell you about the Yeti Tundra Haul that made our trip so much better. This is seriously one of those items where you’ll be like “why didn’t someone do this sooner?”

The built-in handle on the Tundra Haul makes it easy to pull without constantly banging your heels.

Even full of ice and drinks, we found it easy to pull with one arm over relatively smooth (aka hard Texas clay soil).

Ice cold drinks for 3 days straight

If you properly prepare the Tundra Haul (we’ll cover that below), it will keep ice cold drinks on hand for 3 days straight. Stay cool and stay hydrated with the Yeti Tundra Haul.

Keep bears (and raccoons) out of your food

Example of Yeti Tundra Haul bear certification

It’s summer and that means camping! Camping is a great way to get away from it all, spend time with friends, and have some fun in the sun. But if you are like me then you also love food…and when there are campfires involved- well let’s just say that your food tastes even better.

The problem is this: bears LOVE food too. They will try anything they can find and it doesn’t really matter what type of container it’s in - whether it’s a cooler or your car or your pack; they’ll be after your goodies for sure!

The Yeti Tundra is certified bear-resistant with 2 holes in the lid you can use to place locks to keep the bears, raccoons, and kids out.

Even without the locks, the Tundra use “T-Rex” rubber handles that lock into the lid. These are simple for you to use but more difficult for wildlife to open.

Built to last with an all-weather body and rotomolded construction

Imagine being in the middle of nowhere, and you’re getting ready for a big camping trip.

The last thing you want to do is worry about your cooler being able to handle the job, or worse yet, break down. Heck, you don’t want to worry about what to do with the cooler if it rains, sleets, snow or hail.

Or put up with the abuse of thirsty kids.

To get your mind off of things, you decide that it’s time for a cold one.

You pop open your Yeti Tundra Haul cooler and take out 1 can for yourself and 1 for your buddy sitting next to you by the campfire, just as the sun starts to settle.

You smile, knowing that no matter what happens this weekend, your Yeti Tundra Haul cooler will stand up to anything.

Keeps ice frozen for up to five days in the Texas heat

The last thing you want to do is wake up at 6:00 in the morning and have warm beers to drink or a cooler with no ice.

You need ice. Lots of it, if you plan on having a good time for the next few days. And the last thing you want to do is have your ice melt on you and be left with warm drinks for the next few days.

Don't fear the raccoons

Example of Yeti Tundra Haul handles “>

One of the raccoons at Tyler State Park in Texas was not only trying to snatch food from my friend’s picnic table, but also snatched some meat off her grill.

If she had a Tundra, with their unique locking mechanism that prevents animals from accessing your food inside the cooler via an open lid and keeps them out by sealing tight when closed; then it would have been safe for her to enjoy this beautiful park without any worries about being chased away by hungry little creatures!

It Is Expensive But Never Have Melted Ice Again

There is no doubt that this is an expensive cooler. However, this cooler is built to last. It will not fade or crack over time, and you can be confident that there are few items that you own that could survive the abuse of a camping trip as well as the Yeti Tundra Haul.

How to properly prepare your cooler before you go

Example of Yeti Tundra Haul preparation

The most important thing to do before you take your Tundra on a camping trip is to bring the cooler inside 24 hours before you leave.

Put a bag of ice in the cooler and let it chill down. You don’t want to take a warm cooler with you on your camping trip.

This cooler had ice in it at least 48 hours after being on a June camping trip with temperatures into the mid-90s.

Even after the ice had melted at home after I kept it in the garage for 2 more days to test, the water was still cool.

Additional Accessories
