This looks like a screaming deal, nabbed one last night myself.
I too enjoy a 503 error, I picked one up as soon as I clicked the link
For an extra $10, I'll make the pitch for this one which has a misting attachment. You can sit it on top of a 5 gallon bucket with your melted cooler water and works nicely. We used it last year at camp and it was a life saver. It looks like they've come out with a new model since, but this is the one we had.

Used it last year for the first time and it was a game changer, and very worth it with how hot it was.
That fan is legit I have two of them I use for work it's really nice that you can plug it in with an extension cable or use the battery pack. I remember home Depot had a sale last year and they were going for a hundred bucks I wonder if those will get put back on sale again?

For people who already have some Ryobi batteries, Direct Tools Outlet has the older version ("factory blemished," which typically means brand new from them) of this for $20 w/o a battery or charger. Not sure how different it is from the newer version you linked, but I like it. They also have the little 4" clip-on fan, which I know nothing about, for $20.

$80 "reconditioned" from Direct Tools right now, no battery. I don't have one but they're awesome. How's the battery life for these?
The battery life is decent, but I'm sure that depends on how long you run it and at which setting. I had 2 batteries going because I have other Ryobi products so that made it easier as well, but you will have to recharge the battery at least once a day if you use it a lot. I tried to remember the length of time that it lasts but I can't remember that detail.
So this isn’t really a discount but I just bought the best tent I have ever owned. It’s a gazelle T4+ hub tent overland edition. If you are a vet or active duty military they have a decent discount. It still was a little over $600, but it is an absolute beast of a tent.

Walmart has the Ozark Trail 2-in-1 camp stove/grill for $25 right now, normally $79. I have a similar Coleman and haven't used this particular one, but it looks an awful lot like the Coleman and is probably just fine. Shipping is $6.99 or free with Walmart+, and they offer free 30-trials of that.

Does anyone have experience with the EchoSmile brand coolers? Considering upgrading my cooler situation this year and just curious if yall have any feedback on that. I'm looking at this one.

I think green is the cutest color and khaki second but no I’ve never used one of these

Like literally everything, the 5 star reviews make it sound great and the 1 star reviews are worrying. Much to consider 🤔

I tend to not look at 1 star reviews. People be mad about anything, those 2/3 star reviews be the real ones lol. My cooler stinks and I also need to invest in one but not sure if it’ll be this year.

Those are a little pricey but definitely not out of line compared to other rotomolded coolers. Never heard of them but it's pretty likely that they perform well, not sure I've seen a truly bad cooler of this style.
The reviews are actually pretty positive overall. 4.4 stars is pretty good for an Amazon item, with enough reviews to be relevant. I say get it if you like it.
The only drawback I see is minor. Some people don't like the Yeti/Orca style latches. There are brands that use one that is more of a lever style rather than the rubbery bit you pull down. I like the lever-y latches on my Lifetime but this isn't a deal breaker in my book.
That cooler has the same problem as a Yeti, it weighs over seventeen pounds totally empty...by the time you add the drinks, food and ice you can hardly move it! And for the difference in price between it and say, a Coleman, you can by a CRAPTON of ice, so I can't make the math work for one.

I'll check out the Lifetime brand too. Thanks for the reply!

I guess another factor for me is I'll use it about a dozen or more times a year, not just for Bonnaroo!
I’m flying in from NY and wanted something that I could easily pack and reuse. The last two years I’ve gone to Roo my buddies and I grab our rental car, head to Walmart for beers/snacks. We usually buy a cheap cooler for like $30 split three ways. We always just gift it to a neighbor at the end. Wondering if we should continue doing that or purchase a collapsible bag. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Oh for sure, if you'll use it a lot it'll definitely be worth it, especially if you are somewhere you can't buy ice easily!

I have used these before for kayaking day trips and they work decently! Not sure how it would do in that Bonnaroo heat but it might be nice to have something you can reuse

On the cooler tip, Costco has some decently priced options in-store. One I remember is a Coho rotomolded cooler, 55 qt for $140. Looks like the big name brands, good if you want a Yeti or whatever but only want to spend a slightly insane amount, and is available online, too. There were others that seemed well-priced, nice injection-molded coolers for much less.
I thought I'd need something a little bigger since we'll have a group of 6-7 for Roo so I grabbed a 70 qt Igloo IMX roto for $150. Never thought I'd spring for a "nice" cooler but it's a steal at that price. It's $250-$300 elsewhere and gets good reviews online (4.5 stars on Amazon, 77% 5-stars and 11% 4-stars), and it seems really well built. I can't go any bigger or it might have to stay in the truck once loaded.

I use Costco for renting cars and $1.50 hot dog and drinks! I have a premium crossover, should be like a vw atlas, for 36 days for $1100. I’m driving from Tennessee to the pacific and back and didn’t want to put the miles on my car. It’s not on sale now, but I got my 13x13 Coleman canopy for $80 two years ago.
Would like to take this opportunity in the leadup to Roo to recommend the FlipBelt - it's meant for runners but I find it great for LNs when maybe you don't need to carry around a full-ass Camelbak. It's basically a stretchy fabric tube with a front zipper and a couple other holes to hold stuff. I can keep my phone, vape, and other little goodies in it and run around/dance unencumbered. It makes me feel so free in comparison to the daytime. Water bottle can get clipped on the side when I'm walking around. Pretty discreet under a T-shirt too.
