YETI Cooler Storage Over Winter

[FaultyNock]

Trying to make my YETI last as long as possible. I've stored it for the season with a box of baking soda and one of those silica packets that absorb moisture.

Does anyone else do this? Or have better ideas? I haven't done anything for the rubber latches, but probably should.

Clean it good, let it air dry and store in the corner of the garage away from direct heat or sunlight.

I prop the lid open to allow fresh air circulation all winter.

Formula 303 on the rubber bits.

I don't treat mine very well, after 10+ years of it basically living outside, the rubber latches finally got replaced recently. I do prop the lid open to vent it.

On Yetis with two drain plugs, I leave them slightly open for air circulation. For those with no holes, I leave the handles folded in so the lid is propped open slightly. One drain plug, depending on where it is in the stack i will leave the plug ajar and possibly the handles in. I like air circulation.
