My wife gave this to me for Christmas last year.  I've taken it everywhere over the last year - beach, mountains, lake, and even my backyard.  It has been a great cooler to have.  Has excellent ice retention - however, if my 4 year old is opening it every 30 minutes for a popsicle  or drink the ice will melt.  I took it with me on my deer hunt in Utah.  At the end of 4 days, there was still plenty of ice in the cooler.  

High quality construction.  It doesn't always get treated with the love it deserves.  It has been thrown into the back of my truck numerous times.  Doesn't even have a ding to show for it.  

Lastly, it is an excellent place to sit while around the campfire.
