That's Mr Asshole to you
No EZ up anymore since my last one gave out. Spending 3 nights in the tent cot is not ideal.

I got a new tent cot. I've only used it twice but I really like it so far. Far superior breath-ability than the TentCot brand. Downside is that it doesn't come with a cot so it gets kinds $$. Upside is that if you don't want to bring the cot you don't need to.

Got a new SAK yesterday. Wanted something with a lot of functionality but not so big it wouldn't fit in a pocket. Ended up with a Victornox Evolution 28. Had pretty much everything I wanted and nothing more. Only thing that I don't like is the little "wrench". I'd rather it had a small knife blade in its place. Might have to look at the SAK modding forums.

x2. I always have a Leatherman within arms reach for the most part. Not in a pants pocket but in a glovebox, coat pocket, desk drawer, lunch box... etc.

Let us know how you like it.

Should've gotten a pelican
Pass. I've handled both and I like the Brute 100x more than the Pelican.

100x? Please elaborate.

what he means to say is some guy at Brute gave him a nice reach around in the mens room.

It's just personal preference. I don't like the carry handles on the Pelican. And unlike everybody else in the world apparently, I don't like their latches either. I've also never seen a cooler seal up like they do and they feel sturdier as well. And the big thing for me is the fact that the Pelicans are almost 20lbs heavier empty. Like I said, it's all just personal preference from handling them. I don't have experience with either of them as far as performance.

They are heavy, I'll give you that. As for sealing up. I left ice in my 20 qt a few weeks ago and forgot it. Moved it this past weekend and noticed it. Just dumped it over before opening the lid and it didn't leak. I was hoping to just let it seep out onto the yard. So it seals very very well. On the 45 qt it actually has a little pressure relief valve that opens when you pop the left latch and you hear it whistle as it vents. On the 20 qt they do not and (although I have yet to see this.. probably will this summer) on hot days it will form a vacuum that requires two hands to open. But I'm sure the Brute is a really nice unit, besides you skinny guys need light stuff to carry. JK man, with my leg I need light stuff as well. I was just wondering why you thought it was so far superior.

I'm not saying it's a superior product, I just like them more. I'm sure they both perform great. I've actually seen a Brute create a vacuum like you were saying. Ended up having to take the drain plug out to get the kid to open. The weight is a big thing for me because I move it around quite a bit. If it was just going to stay in the bed of my truck or in a boat or something it wouldn't be a huge deal. Plus, the whole getting it at dealer cost was a big plus in the decision making. Still not sure if I'm going to keep the Yeti or not. Was going to sell it to recoup some of the cost but I may just end up keeping it.

My buddy has a Yeti 65, my Pelican 45 is about the same size (taller/wider but not quite as long) but def heavier. The Yeti is prettier.. I'll say that. The walls of the Pelican are WAY thicker. He got his for free using some CC points so he didn't care about price really. But weight is an issue. If I was to buy a Pelican 75 I'd mount it somewhere and not move it. Nice thing is that the drain plug actually accepts a garden hose so you could in theory mount it with a drain hose and never have to move it. Of course that really isn't an option... I don't own a yacht.

Certainly will. I will also tell you how I like the Coleman Oven my better half found for $24.
