    Bison coolers a great lost and found story

    I own 5 Bison coolers and have been a fan of the company and product. So on August 27th when Harvey was bearing down on East Texas I sent the boys to fill all the coolers with ice anticipating that the power would probably go out. Little did I know that my own home would have 2.5' of water flowing through it the next day! The boys stored all the coolers in our shop that took on about 3.5-4' of water, and obviously when that happened we were no longer concerned about having icy drinks.
    So a few days later when the water went down and we started assessing all the damage I noticed that my small Bison was missing. Unfortunately this was my wife's cooler that was the perfect size for beach trips and other events. We live on 43 acres that has a bayou as a property line...so fast forward to January 12th, I decided to have a walk down the bayou to see what all I could find (we lost other items as well). The bayou banks had plenty of 5 gallon buckets, other cheap coolers, and low and behold over 2 miles from my house was my brides Bison Cooler sitting upside down on a bank! Plenty dirty where it had been in the water but still tightly closed AND

    Full of ice!!!!!! Ok not really but in otherwise perfect shape! Before and after pics to come as it comes clean.

    The folks at Bison and the product are great!

          The inside was perfectly sealed as you can see and the outside is coming back around!

              That’s cool! You should clear coat it to preserve that look!

                I don't think it's going to come completely clean!

                    That's a cool story! I knew when reading it that the cooler would be full of ice! That's why I own a bison cooler as well!

                        I'm surprised the bayou wasn't frozen over!

                        Glad you recovered it!

                            The ground around it was iced up solid...almost couldn't tear it loose
