Helpful information so far. Thanks. I will add more information, I'm on this trip alone and so will have to lift my cooler into my truck on my own. I prefer multiple smaller coolers to a single large cooler for this reason, although multiple smaller coolers is probably less efficient thermally than one large cooler. From the posting RE the 158 quart cooler, it looks like I can approximate LBS meat to 1 quart ofcooler capacity (although capacity is a little less because I will need to put dry ice in my cooler -- I'm starting with meat that is not frozen and depending upon the dry ice to accomplish the freezing process -- I'm on a do-it-yourself hunt and will be processing my meat myself also). Additionally, I plan on carrying an extra cooler in the event my estimate of 200 LBS of meat is too low.

What brands are preferred?
