I've taken my Coleman 16 Quart Excursion Cooler just about everywhere I've ever gone. My dad used to bring it on all the family camping trips before passing it down to me. Growing up in southern California, I literally went to the beach 4-5 days a week until my early 20s. I took my cooler with me every time. It was my routine to stock it with  munchie food and a few drinks
