Backpackers are notoriously stingy!

Exactly. Hunters driving 4x4 or ATV to deer camp need a $600 cooler (cheaper brands available) to keep ice for 4 or 5 days.
Same with guys going fishing for a couple of days in the heat of summer. They have the resources to haul a huge cooler full of ice.
Backpackers, kayakers don’t. A canoe could hold a large cooler. I’d hate to think Yeti believes the canoe market is a worthy replacement for hunters/fisherman.
