There are fish processing plants in Alaska that will flash freeze and vacuum pack the fish you catch. They will even sell you a makeshift cooler box to take on the plane or mail home. On our latest trip to Alaska , we ended up buying another wheeled cooler because we caught so many fish.
The wheeled cooler was our checked bag on our last trip to Maui even though we had no intention of bringing home fish.
When our flight landed we drove straight to the grocery store and stocked up on food for our trip. It was necessary to have a cooler to put all the groceries in that needed refrigeration before the long drive to Hana. How do I keep it at the right temperature? For foods that need to be kept at freezer-level temperatures, dry ice can help get your ice cream or seafood from one side of the country to the other not in a puddle.
Take note: The FAA has specific regulations for flying with dry ice, so be sure to review them beforehand. Carrying foods on the plane with you is trickier but still doable if you know the rules.

Joined Jun 15, Messages 1, So I have a Yeti Tundra 65 that I have taken before, but I would like to have more internal space to bring back more frozen meat, so looking at cheaper coolers that don't have such thick walls.
As long as it is under they will take it. There will be a processor that I can pay to ship whatever I don't bring back myself, but it will be cheaper for me to pay excess baggage fees than to pay him for overnight shipping.
Not interested in carrying on a soft case. I will be using this as my suitcase on the way out, and will put an empty duffel in it, to bring back clothes on the way back. I guess a secondary question would be could I even get the 70 qt to weigh just under No point in getting the qt if I can Thanks for any advice.
Joined Aug 30, Messages 2, Get the lightest cooler you can find. A Yeti or similar takes up too much weight empty. The belly of an airplane is cold.
So be mindful that you will either be going overweight or paying for an extra bag. Figure out what is cheaper. Also, buy an Ice Mule backpack cooler.
You can fit a whole boned out frozen deer in one and carry it as a carry on. Brutal on long walks through big airports, but it can help avoid the extra bag fees. Trial Senior Member. I use all soft coolers now. I bought two Calcutta I like my larger yeti however it was heavy for it size and I sold it. I pack them in my luggage and the fly home with the meat as baggage. Two years and about 6 trips they have held up excellent.
Leave the meat in the game bags, then place it in a trash bag.. Way better then any hard sided cooler.. Runningwater Senior Member.
I've been using the really cheap wheeled Colemans. They are super light and when packed with fish or meat weigh right at You need to tape the handle down or it will disappear. I've got one in AK right now thats on its 3rd trip up here and has been to MX twice.
Blockcaver Senior Member. The light-weight 48qt Coleman cooler lid is not hinged, use duct tape held just under 50 s of packaged caribou steaks and roasts, just as they told me it would. No issues with it on the charter back to Norman Wells from camp or flying down to Edmonton. I did have to pick it up there at air freight.
