Abstract: The present invention enables hikers to easily carry both chilled water and chilled food items in a lightweight, compact package. A significant portion of the effort of carrying snacks on a hike comes from the weight of the food cooler and its chemical cooling elements. By placing the food items inside the body of a flexible cooler, then wrapping that cooler around a bottle of frozen water without covering the lid, the present invention lets the ice chill the food items while carrying them in a compact, lightweight container.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed to support a portion of the weight of a recreational product while riding on a lift. The apparatus includes a first element attachable to a recreational product user, and a second element fixedly supported relative to the recreational product. The first element includes a tether that can be secured to a recreational product user's limb at the first end of the tether; and a coupling fitting that is attached at or near the second end of the tether. The second element is fixed on the recreational product and includes a platform and a hook supported by the platform. A portion of the platform and the coupling fitting are configured to be magnetically attracted to each other. The hook is configured to engage the coupling fitting. When the hook and coupling fitting are fully engaged the platform and coupling fitting are spaced apart from each other.
