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.

Big Orange Holding Tank

The Big Orange holding tank vent filter is easily installed on the vent line of your holding tank and begins working immediately by filtering the air coming from your holding tank to remove the odour. In fact, the Big Orange holding tank vent filter uses the same activated carbon pellet technology that is used in industrial exhaust scrubbers to eliminate the odour coming from your holding tank. Big Orange boasts a large carbon pellet volume, more than any other vent line filter available on the market. It lasts longer and works better. Unlike "the other guys", the Big Orange holding tank vent filter uses an easily refillable cartridge so you don’t need to buy a new filter every year.

It is not that often I drive as big a vehicle as the Nissan Armada but I love the nautical name and figured we should look at it.I have to admit it took a few hours to get reoriented to a vehicle of this size and height. Now, if you are not that familiar with the Armada it is Nissans largest SUV in their lineup. You could compare it to the Chevy Suburban or the Ford Expedition.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
