Sold: Cool box

[crossy 666]

Hi everyone, I’m off to Ireland next month to hopefully bag myself my first Sika. I would like to bring the head back for my taxidermy man to mount for me if I’m lucky enough to get one.
I’m looking for a large cool box to bring it back home in if anyone has one that they would like to sell me or I would be willing to give someone some money to let me borrow it if they don’t want to part with it permanently.

All the ones I seen for sale at the moment are too far away and due to the size of them people don’t want to post them which I understand so needs to be close to the Midlands if possible but I don’t travel around a bit so please try me.

If you’re travelling in your own car why not just buy a cheap storage container from B&Q and fill it with ice if you’re lucky, all the supermarkets sell bags of ice and you could always top up on the way home if you needed to?

We are going for just over a week so if I get one on the first day I was worried about it being in the car for a week as I don’t fancy taking it into the hotel with us.
Some of the cool boxes I’ve been looking at say they stay frozen for upto 7 days that’s the only reason I was going down the cooler box route.

You could just cape and salt then you’ll be safe without needing to chill?

I am at postcode LE9 2BN and have one that you could borrow or, preferably, offer to buy. It is blue Isotherm one. I've also some of the blue liquid filled plastic "slabs" I'be be happy to sell. Please PM me if interested except I am not here on Sunday or Monday.

Are you travelling from Holyhead?
If so I have a Igloo 165 liter cool box I can lend you.But if truth be told, you'll probably struggle to get a decent head in any cool box I think.Plan b maybe get it taxidermied there?

NI or the Republic? You might be importing forbidden meat products into the UK from the EU. Just wondered.

Would the outfitter keep it in his chiller with the rest of it until the last day to leave.

Thanks to all the replies. To be honest this is a first for me as it’s something I’ve never had to worry about before. I’m just trying to cover all bases really as my mate took his son there last year to get his first Sika which was successful on their first day and placed in a freezer for the rest of the trip. On the day of his return they went to retrieve it and someone had unplugged the freezer by mistake

Plugs where others are, or can be present, TAPE over plugs, DO NOT UNPLUG!!!!!

Here's the details of the Camping Gaz Isotherm Cool Box I could lend you. Internal dimensions are at smallest 19cm x 34cm with a depth of 27cm. I am happy to loan it out free but would ask at time of collection for a £20 deposit, in cash, and if it doesn't come back you've bought it for that £20. As far as cool boxes go you can sit on this one...it is not the flimsy ones you often see today. The picture is from the internet.

Not sure if you are aware of this or not @crossy 666 , I wasn't, I have been meaning to sort a Costco membership for a while now so just looked into it, there is an online purchase only membership category for £15 per year subscription with no qualification necessary.

That 165qt cool box is still on offer and is £150 delivered.
