![]() ![]() Cabelas is the only place I've seen them in person, and I liked the construction.Ģ0. ![]() They are just a tad heavier than the Rubbermaid container, and about $40ea for the smaller size which is has a 20-21 gallon capacity (depending what site you look at), and is 30"Lx15.4"Wx16"H in size. Otherwise I'd be all over it because they're stronger than the Action Packer, have a weather-tight lid with a gasket, and they have indentions on the lid to match the feet on the bottom so they are stackable. Whatever I have, I want to have the option to carry it inside or outside the vehicle. So far the best alternative I've found to the Action Packer is made by a company called Iris, but it is too long to fit behind the upright back seat of my FJ Cruiser. Where's Corey? He's had just about every container imaginable. In the end everyone has to find the compromise between weight-savings, durability, and the almighty $$$$ that works for them. If only they made the bottom like they did the top. Unfortunately the Packers' lightweight, blow-molded construction for the bottom section is also it's weak spot. That's something that's definitely in the Action Packers' favor. Something like the ECS Cases Footlocker series has six sizes and 8 colors available, is proven to be watertight, has interlocking shapes on the lid and bottom for great stackability, can take serious abuse, and is 10x more expensive than my 24gal Action Packer. Action Packers don't come in many sizes, aren't really weather-resistant, and can be cratered with some abuse, but they really are not that expensive to replace. There are lots of alternatives worth spending your hard-earned $$$ on, but that choice is yours to base on things like budget and how hard/how long you intend to use/need something. Like me most start with Action Packers or something similar and then quickly realize you want it to be sturdier for stacking/strapping down, more water resistant for carrying outside the vehicle, or a more specific size that Rubbermaid doesn't make in order to fit right inside your rig when it's stuffed to the gills. I can find them in at least 3 stores in my town (maybe 4). Add to list Add to registry Reduced price Sponsored Now 130.59 157. Not saying you don't get what you pay for with regards to Pelican, Hardigg, ECS, Alu-Box, Zarges, etc, etc, but Action Packers are actually pretty cheap in the grand scheme of things and very easy to come by.

The Action Packer has sort of become the go-to camping box for quite a while now because once you step up from Rubbermaid-ish storage containers the prices can go waaaay up. ![]()
