Jeremy Denson from Bison Coolers joins me for this very special 150th episode of the Son of a Blitch Podcast. I have been using their coolers for over 12 years and have 5 different hard coolers, and a few soft coolers, in regular rotation at home, sporting events, vacations and out at the ranches. My company, Map My Ranch, has created custom cooler top graphics for their coolers for many of our clients, as well. I fully endorse their products and Jeremy and his team. I highly suggest you tune into this one!

Jeremy also walks through Bison’s hard cooler lineup and how sizing fits different use cases, from compact day trips to large group hunts. They offer 25, 50, 55 quart wheeled, 75, and 125 quart hard cooler models, designed for ice retention, long-term durability, and everyday usability. The standout product story is the 55 quart wheeled cooler with a newly approved patent. Instead of the common wheel-outside-the-body layout that snags on vehicle interiors and wastes packing space, Bison moves the wheels inward to keep the profile streamlined, making it easier to slide into an SUV or truck bed and helping maximize every inch when you’re playing cargo Tetris.

Beyond hard coolers, the episode digs into soft coolers, drinkware, and a broader “own the backyard and campground” approach. A major differentiator is manufacturing: Bison emphasizes that they make both their hard coolers and soft coolers in the United States, a rarity in the cooler industry. They’re transparent about drinkware being imported because domestic manufacturing capability for that category isn’t really available at scale, and they instead focus on sourcing high-quality production. For listeners who care about American made products, small family-run companies, and long-term quality control, that candor matters.

Customization becomes the other big theme. Bison can customize nearly every product they sell, which turns a cooler or soft cooler into a memorable gift, corporate item, fundraiser prize, or ranch thank-you. From logos and team graphics to full-color lid art like ranch maps or family photos, customization adds emotional value on top of performance. 

The episode rounds out with newer gear like dry backpacks and dry duffels for keeping hunting apparel and camera gear protected, plus a soft rifle case Jeremy believes is underrated despite its build quality. 

And as a reminder that small businesses can land on big stages, Jeremy shares how a missed-looking Google email turned into a Super Bowl commercial moment that brought his team and family to tears.
