What size cooler is best for two people on a weekend camping trip?
A 50-quart cooler is the sweet spot for two people on a weekend trip. It holds about 30 cans plus a few days of groceries without being too heavy. If you bring lots of pre-prepped food or extra ice, go 60 quarts. Any bigger and you’re carrying empty space; any smaller and you’ll run out of room by Saturday night.
