The Cooler is a large insulated box with a handle for carrying drinks and food. It is a container that holds a good amount. It is a handy way to move a pile of supplies across a short distance.
Its strength is room. It holds far more than a small box or a lunchbox. Its cost is speed, since carrying it slows running by a tenth. It has to be carried in the hands, so it takes up a hand while moving.
Coolers often come packed with beer, soda, meat or seafood. Barbecue stores, butcher shops and camping stores are the best places to find one. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The cooler holds a good load and halves the felt weight of what is inside. It is carried in a hand, or set down on the ground to open.
A Duffel Bag holds half again as much on the back and takes off more weight. A Big Hiking Backpack holds almost twice as much and takes off most of the weight. A Lunchbox holds only a third as much for the same weight cut.
Food inside keeps the same temperature as the air around it. A cooler is a carrying box, so perishable food still needs a fridge.
A found cooler can come full. A beer cooler holds Beer Bottles, Beer Cans or packs of them. A meat cooler often holds Beef Patties, Hotdogs, Pork Chops, Sausages, Chicken Legs or Steak. A seafood cooler holds Mussels, Oysters, Shrimp, Salmon or freshwater fish. A soda cooler holds Cola, Diet Cola, Ginger Ale or Orange Soda. Many also hold a Cold Pack.
