It is cooler but the Element was made to be cool from day one. Read more

Hot damn, the picnic table. What an excellent contribution, I can’t believe I forgot about that! Thank you. Read more

That would have to be a story for another time! Read more

I think it partially depends on how far out you’re going. I actually have a Yeti too, it’s a lot lighter and just as viable for a weekend. And cooler looking. But not quite as flexible. Read more

Good catch! Fixed. Read more

You’re forgetting one advantage of the portable battery: running it away from the car, like we had on the beach. That’s not somebody everybody’ going to care about, but, it is a factor. Read more

That’s up to your car’s 12-volt outlet. Most plugs don’t send power when the car’s not running. This fridge does have a low-voltage warning where you can tell it to shut off if it senses power getting too low. Read more

I finished Outer Worlds on a “generally nice” play-through, talking my way through problems, so now I’m trying to be evil and murderous to see how that goes. Read more
