Extraordinary Cooler Keeps Adventures Fresh

PacBak Cooler

Dec 21, 2023

Whether boating, fishing, paddling or camping, the PacBak P88-MK Cooler keeps adventures fresh. Built in Alaska (!), this 88 qt. cooler is unlike any other on the market. The Alaskan manufacturer claims it can withstand 24 hours with a 1,250-pound Alaskan Kodiak Brown Bear.

Every design aspect provides optimum functionality, including simultaneously keeping contents both hot and/or cold, an integrated cutting board and a removable table.

The thick insulated walls of the three individual internal compartments of the rotomolded PacBak P88-MK Cooler reliably separate hot from cold and wet from dry. The lid of the smallest 8qt space on top removes to become a cutting board. Underneath is a 22qt section that’s 18.875″L x 9″W x 8″D. The main 58 qt. compartment to the right measures 18.75″L x 14.5″W x 13.25″D. Both bottom sections drain without tilting.

Externally, the removable top becomes a table that attaches to either side of the cooler. Integrated legs fold down to create a massive 10.2sqft work surface. All hardware is stainless steel for outdoor durability, even the bottle openers on both front corners. Rugged strap handles make toting the 65 lb. cooler easier. Measuring just 32.5″L x 22.75″W x18.75″ H overall, it’s ideal for off-grid living for days on end.

With special holiday pricing, the PacBak P88-MK Cooler is US$549. It’s offered in white, seafoam, sky blue, coral, sand, army green, Alaska spring camo and green camo. The ROAM 18-V Portable Vacuum Sealer, which fits perfectly in the smallest 8q. compartment, is $199. Both are available as a Combo for $699. PacBak will soon debut a 60-quart version of its P88-MK Cooler.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
