Why would I buy that when I could buy the Yeti box for 6x as much?

Looks like a great replacement for my much cheaper truck box.

I have used a really similar product made by Hardigg on multiple trips overseas and it is still kicking. Had it for probably 15years of hard use.

I have to revise my comment. I thought this was a bigger box.

I got one of those crazy yeti boxes similar to this for free a few years ago. I have found it of kind of marginal use. Basically just a super expensive truck organizer, without a lot of room for bigger items. What parts of the Coho do you like?

For the money you can get two of these. My brother has one and likes the waterproof storage.

We bought 3 of the big Plano boxes with wheels and just keep the family camping stuff in them. Pretty grab and go - kitchen box, sleeping box, beach box.

Pack clothes up, stop and get groceries and ice for the cooler and we’re on our way.

My ideal is a hard case that is JUST UNDER the 62 inch sum of LxWxH. That way it is feasible to take on a plane.

This Coho box is a lot smaller than that but I think it will be a good addition. Better than the "Big Y " for sure...


This is the perfect size, but I'd like to find more modern materials.

Man I tried a plano a while back and it didn't last a year before both the latch and hinge broke.

@2rocky your box reminds me of my father’s “safari box” that he used to keep camp kitchen stores in one place. 55 years later it looks and smells like it is just back from a Rift Valley hunting trip.

I have 6 or 7 of them. They are pretty well organized, they are organized by activity or similar items.

So my totes arrived and my first impression is that they are going to be too small to be of much utility.

The trays in the top really cut into the useable vertical space. I think it's plenty of room for a "heavy backpacking" cooking setup for packing into a drop camp on horses. But a "roads end" camp is going to use full size pans and propane trees and bottles.

I really wished it was 30 inches long like the *sigh* Loadout 60 from the Big Y....

if I return them though I'm going to wish I had one in about 6 months I reckon...

Ironically I discovered what comes in under 62 inches L+W+D and lends itself to horse packing...
