COOLERS / COOKING

Camping just isn't any fun without some great (not so nutritious) food and snacks and to help keep them fresh you need a good cooler, just like you need quality cooking supplies to prepare the meals. With companies like Yeti, Pelican, Hydro Flask, Victorinox Swiss Army, Kovea, Platypus, Seat to Summit, Jetboil, MSR, SteriPen and GSI there is a wide selection on camping kitchen gear to choose from, so we've prepared these reviews to help you wade through the options.  Have a read and tell us what you think.
