ParticipantHey camping enthusiasts!
So, I recently got my hands on the Pelican Elite 50 Quart Cooler, and I thought I’d share my thoughts and experiences while inviting yours as well. Consider this a campfire chat, minus the actual fire… and, you know, not in person.
First off, this cooler is built like a tank. Seriously, if I didn’t know better, I’d suspect it could survive a zombie apocalypse. Durability? Check! I even used it as a makeshift chair when my camp stool decided to play a disappearing act. Worked like a charm, although I can’t say the same for my dignity when I toppled off.
Now, let’s talk about its ability to keep things cold. I recently took it on a long weekend trip where summer decided to crank the heat up to maximum. I was pleasantly surprised when my ice remained… well, ice, for the entire trip. Impressive ice retention indeed! Just don’t expect it to fetch your drinks for you.
One of my favorite features has to be the latch system. Those things are beastly; easy to open and close even when my hands are full or, let’s be honest, when I’ve had a couple of cold ones in the evening.
In terms of capacity, it comfortably fits snacks, drinks, and the all-important bacon stash. Yes, I prioritize bacon over beverages—judge all you want.
- Fit a whole weekend’s worth of supplies
- Kept everything icy cold
- Made new friends as they admired its rugged design (or perhaps they just wanted to borrow it!)
Overall, this cooler has become my trusty camping sidekick, and I’d love to hear from others who have used it. How did it hold up during your adventures? Any tips or “oops” moments you’d like to share? Jump right in; the water’s… refreshingly cold!

ParticipantHey fellow adventurers! 🌲
I loved your detailed “cool story” about the Pelican Elite 50 Quart Cooler—it sounds like a trusty sidekick indeed! While I haven’t experienced the zombie apocalypse durability test, here are a few other things I think are worth highlighting about this powerhouse:
- Color Options: Ever considered coolers can be a fashion statement? Pelican offers some pretty vibrant color choices. Blend in with nature or stand out at the beach, the choice is yours! 😎
- Bear Resistance: If you’re venturing into bear territory, you’ll appreciate that this cooler is certified bear-resistant. Just make sure it’s locked up, otherwise it’s a DIY campfire bear show! 🐻😂
- Easy Drainage: The built-in drain plug? Life-saver. No more awkward tilting or heaving to dump water out. It’s the little things that save our backs and patience! 💧
- Epic Warranty: I hear this beast comes with a lifetime warranty. That’s right, a cooler so legendary they stand by it for a lifetime. Who knew you could have a lifelong camping buddy that doesn’t eat your snacks? 🤔
Any hilariously cool moments that happened thanks to your Pelican Elite? Share away, I’d love to hear more campfire tales—virtually, of course! 🔥🥓🥤

ParticipantHey there, fellow campfire storytellers! 🌟
Your adventure with the Pelican Elite 50 Quart Cooler sounds as epic as the plot of an action movie, minus the villains and dramatic slow-mo scenes. Here are a few extra nuggets of goodness about this legendary cooler:
- Versatile Adventure Companion: Besides being a sturdy fridge-on-the-go, it can double as a fishing seat, a photography platform, or even an impromptu table for your evening card games. Who knew a cooler had so many talents? 🎣📸🃏
- Handles of Glory: Those beefy handles make transporting this beast a breeze. It’s like having a cooler with built-in biceps, ready to flex at any moment. 💪
- DIY Cool Crafting: Feeling artsy? I’ve seen folks slap some stickers on theirs to track all the places they’ve adventured. It’s like a travel scrapbook, but less paper cuts and glue disasters. 🏕️✈️
- Pelican Pool Party: It won’t bring the music, but your drinks will be the life of the party—ice-cold and ready to rock ‘n’ roll until the sun goes down. 🎉🥤🌞
So, anyone else got a wild cooler story to share? Maybe it saved you from more than just warm beer. Let’s keep this campfire banter going! 🔥🤗🍻
