Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Add Yeti to your schitt-list.....

I have two Yetis that I bought at the SHOT when they first came out. One is a discontinued model. They will NOT honor the warranty. I told them it has a lifetime warranty. They just told me that they don't support that model anymore. So much for warranty work.

I bought 25 of the 105 QT Yetis about 5 years ago for a bunch of buddies. When it was all said and and done, I didn't end up with a single one! Got a better deal buying 25 though. There are a LOT of good knock-off coolers out there now. None of us should even want to buy a Yeti. They are over priced and now treasonous.

the rusty bottle opener is stamped Weiland Brewery which started in the 1800's. It has a pretty cool history.

The one Jim sent me is pretty old too.....I mean how long has it been since Pabst made beer in bottles that weren't twist off or cans without a pop top. He found it at a thrift store of yard sale IIRC.

Gunner: post a pic of your $25k rifle...I want to see that beauty! 😎

I've never had any interest in buying any of their overpriced schitt.

Dennis,

whats a good cooler now? I've always slummed the colemans or igloos

Sycamore

True...I bought one from a guy on E -Bay that had bought a bunch for gifts to his company's vendors and was selling the extras.
I think I saved about $75 IIRC......a good cooler but still over priced even with his bulk discount.

I won't buy any more of their stuff but I don't see how destroying the one I have like some have suggested would punish Yeti.

Or a pic of 25 of your $1000 rifles!

Sycamore

Ha...Either works for me, Syc...But, seeing his $25K rifle will make me sit up straight with both feet on the floor. 😎

YETI is simply a private equity firm that purchased YETI in 2012. They could care less about warranty requests on older models. I may be a stupid yankee but I'm a frugal one. I never saw the attraction to a $350 dollar cooler in the first place. It's up to Sportsman and women to blackball YETI now and drive them under.

We are working hard here to drive Dick's Sporting Goods out of business. It's time for us to all start playing for keeps.

PM me a cell number 10X and I'll shoot ya a cell text of a couple of them today, have the other one well covered to Syc.

Mash their damn guts out HM!

Anyone tried the new Lifetime coolers they are selling at Wal Mart for $99? Looks pretty darned good for the price.

I'm happy with my RTIC, got it on sale for $80.

Hopefully, this will be the nail in the coffin for Yeti and a wake up call to other companies. Sportsmen are what made Yeti.

I thought we were supposed to hate Wal Mart too.

Dam....this chit's hard to keep up

which one has free shipping?

any one that has not tried a cooler of this type.......has no idea of how well they work......yes they are pricey, but it will be the last you ever buy.


I like the pelican brand coolers......have 3......bob

i am familar with both of those from a different age, prior to poptop beer cans. The top one often called a "churchkey" for the youngins on here.
girls in my generation would sharpen the can opener side, and carry it behind the big western belt buckle on their jeans. You didn't come up and grab them from behind, they could reach down grab that little device, and rip a face pretty good. Self defense item.

Yeti....is as rare as the real one in the moutains,in my gear pile!

"Churchkey" I had forgotten that one. Always had one in the car and tackle box back then. Could double as a "can opener" in a pinch.
