I need the sage advice of this group. The two methods I have used to put up my flagpole are an under the tire flagpole stand and strapping it to my EZ up. At Peach we're going to be in a tent-only situation without our EZ up. I'm thinking there has to be some way to use the under the tire stand without the car. Ideas?

Yes. Have worf carry two cinder blocks along with all of the other camping gear and coolers. That should do the trick...Or just let worf hold it all weekend...In all seriousness maybe just set the cooler on top of it.

You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more. What happens if I take both?

Okay, this is not essential gear. They don't pack small or light, and they aren't cheap. In fact, they're heavy enough that you'll think you still have beer when you don't. But if cold beer is what you desire, you can't do better. I have passed out in my chair for about an hour, woke up and my beer was still ice-cold.

Link here.

Sounds pretty essential to me.

Walmart carries an Ozark brand tumbler identical to this one (except for the logo) 20 oz is $7.74 and 30 oz is $9.74. The 20 oz size sells out a lot. I finally got 1 ordered last week and it was the last one available. It's restocked frequently so if you are interested in saving a little over $20/each it's worth it to check it out. Some friends and I tested the YETI and the Ozark on a very hot beach a couple weeks ago to see if they performed comparably. We were on that beach for hours... and the ice stayed icy in both. The tops are interchangeable as well.

i can't speak to the tumbler but know the Yeti coolers are vastly superior based on taking hundreds of pounds of ice tuna fishing. The imitation coolers were dismal failures. Having your drink a little warmer isn't as serious as turning a couple hundred pounds of tuna into chum. The cheaper ones work when they run 60 miles out but not when you go 200 miles.

Just a heads up this isn't a tumbler. It's a koozie (hugger?), were you put the whole beer can in it. I have one and they are awesome, but not sure it is worth the price.

Haha, I noticed it was a koozie after I posted about the tumbler. Yes, it is a koozie our friend posted above but I couldn't help but chime in on the tumbler after our test of the YETI and the Ozark brands on the beach that day. I am picking up my tumbler from Walmart today (had it shipped to the store without paying shipping charges) and will be pouring a beer into the tumbler to keep it nice and cold while we are out at the pool later.

I actually picked up a Yeti knockoff soft cooler in the Ozark Trail brand recently. And I'm sure it's not near as good as a real Yeti. But for what I paid it was a LOT better than any soft cooler I had ever used before. Actually held ice for 2 days (and probably would have gone further had I not chosen to move the rest of the stuff into one of my hard Igloos). Knockoffs are not the real thing. But they don't always suck.

I've seen other inflatable furniture on the show field, so I don't see why not. It's low, so it doesn't block view, and of course you mean behind the soundboard, right?

I would leave it at camp. I can tell you from experience the closer your head is to the ground, the more you hear people around you talking instead of music.

At a fest last week I heard a passing wook comment to a girl on a blue one: Can you make room for me in your pool?

How big can our sunbrellas be? I've got one that's good for the beach, probably about 4' in diameter. Also, what's the ground like in the concert area? Hard, red dirt -- like hard to get an umbrella spike into?

Saw a lot of them in use at Bonnaroo. They are made of nylon, not vinyl, so they don't get that hot lying in them and they don't stick to your skin. It's a hoot watching people inflate them--you gotta run into the wind, and then try to seal them while the air is still in them. And they're really comfortable, but a little unstable and hard to get out of gracefully. But if someone had been selling them there they would have made a fortune!

You're not actually supposed to be able to have them. Small umbrellas only, and only behind the soundboard. I always see them though, so they must look a lot like a standard umbrella when folded.

Yeah, I saw that. Would be nice if operationalized "small".

This just isn't true. Maybe when Yeti was the only roto-molded super cooler type on the block. But now there are many other brands doing the same thing and better. And for less money. There are tons of video comparisons / tests on the internet now that show these other coolers out-performing the Yeti. Just search for them. Yeti doesn't have a secret cooling technology, sorry.

If you are in the market for one of these type coolers you would really do yourself justice to check out some of these brands that have been shown to perform as well or better than Yeti. And for much less money in many cases.
