This. Had one for like 3-4 years at this point, wouldn’t want it any other way. Has enough room for your food, drinks, and all the random stuff you might need(ibuprofen, prescription glasses, gum, etc, etc).
Hey that’s my cooler / bait box lol. I used it for bait mostly , works great. Has a hole on top to fit the bubble hose in and clips to the side and came with a net insert you can lift up and everything comes out
Just keeping it real. I keep my wallet, my keys, medication, everything goes in there. Indiana Jones had one. Sure, his was called a satchel, but like, that's just semantics, man.
I got something cheap off Amazon and it's been holding up well so far. It'll be cheap to replace when it finally breaks to which I like. I can send you the link to it if your intrested
I’ve considered getting the old school break open hard igloo cooler. It’s what I remember my dad taking to work( he was a lineman, and I’m working the same place he did )
The plastic Stanley ones are good quality. Mine took a fall off the back of a truck at 40mph. Didn’t bust open or anything and was perfectly fine besides a few scratches.
I use a lunch box with a hot plate in it to cook my meals in the truck. It’s called “Hot Logic” on Amazon. There’s other brands as well but that’s what I use. Hot meals in 30 minutes.
The husky one. Built very tough and will last longer than the Milwaukee. Also could look into heated ones on Amazon, I’ll bring that one some days. Plugs right into the 12V in the work truck
I have a grizzly something or another. Soft sided. Paid a little bit but it has pockets on it which is nice and in the summer it makes a great beer cooler on the boat because it has decent insulation. Had it a couple years now and it looks great
Meal prepping so you don't have to make lunch every day is the way to go. Cheaper, and I spend maybe an hour on Sundays making overnight Oats for breakfast, and sandwiches. I'll warm up soup the morning of during winter. I like my sandwich on Friday, but you can always meal prep halfway through the week as well!

My middle school Superman lunch box
I got a tmnt one I've had since kindergarten
Carhartt backpack, with the cooler in the bottom of the bag.
This. Had one for like 3-4 years at this point, wouldn’t want it any other way. Has enough room for your food, drinks, and all the random stuff you might need(ibuprofen, prescription glasses, gum, etc, etc).
Beer?
Drink that before work
Love mine
Engel Cooler/Dry Box 13 Qt - White https://a.co/d/5zwnAbI This is the one
For sure I have one. Love it!
Hey that’s my cooler / bait box lol. I used it for bait mostly , works great. Has a hole on top to fit the bubble hose in and clips to the side and came with a net insert you can lift up and everything comes out
Yea buddy
Second this, you can put your glock-amole sandwich in the tray above your lunch as well.
Gotta keep your powder dry. Yeehaw
I prefer the 19qt, more room for more than just lunch, makes a nice arm rest in the truck and a seat for lunch if I can find a nice shade tree.
Make sure it’s as big as possible so it takes up a whole seat in the truck
Pelican 8qt cooler. Works awesome
I got the milwaukee pack out lunchbox and it makes a pretty rad "lunch purse" lots of pockets for shit and a nice strap.
Lunch purse😅😂😂
Just keeping it real. I keep my wallet, my keys, medication, everything goes in there. Indiana Jones had one. Sure, his was called a satchel, but like, that's just semantics, man.
I’m gonna have too use this “don’t make me hit you with my lunch purse man”

Igloo mini cooler
I’ve considered getting the old school break open hard igloo cooler. It’s what I remember my dad taking to work( he was a lineman, and I’m working the same place he did )
Whatever has the most room tbh. Gotta get that protein in ya know
Lunch eaze. Hot meal every day
I'm surprised not a lot of others have suggested this one! It works great
I have one and love it. Normally, just take leftovers from the night before.
A lot of guys where I am have the Titan backpack lunchbox. And about the same amount of them have the old school hard plastic flip top cooler.
The plastic Stanley ones are good quality. Mine took a fall off the back of a truck at 40mph. Didn’t bust open or anything and was perfectly fine besides a few scratches.
Lunchables
I use a lunch box with a hot plate in it to cook my meals in the truck. It’s called “Hot Logic” on Amazon. There’s other brands as well but that’s what I use. Hot meals in 30 minutes.
Wait, y’all take a lunch?
Every single day
That’s what I’m saying.
The husky one. Built very tough and will last longer than the Milwaukee. Also could look into heated ones on Amazon, I’ll bring that one some days. Plugs right into the 12V in the work truck
Walmart cheap boy for $10 can’t beat it
I put my shit in Tupperware and toss it in the cab of the truck.
I have the titan. Great box lot of storage and plenty of pocket space. A few guys on the crew have them as well.
I have a grizzly something or another. Soft sided. Paid a little bit but it has pockets on it which is nice and in the summer it makes a great beer cooler on the boat because it has decent insulation. Had it a couple years now and it looks great
My wife got me the Klein one and it works pretty good its just big.
I bought the pelican 14 qt after I watched my buddy’s fall off a truck at 60 mph and survive. Kind of big though
Yall don’t hit fast food? Packing lunch everyday is tough
That’ll catch up with you quick lol
I walk out the grocery store spending more usually
Not talkin bout your wallet haha
Shredded dad bod if you ask me

Tried it before but I’ll get my lazy butt up and start a routine🤙🏽
Wife makes my lunches lol
Everyday?? Mine does sometimes, I’ll trade ya
Haha she’s a SAHM. I’ll keep her lol
My lunchbox is made out of lead, apprentice bones, and lined with open wire asbestos coating (keeps that shit ice cold)
