Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Yeti... Looks Like they Abandoned SHOT

Just took a look at the SHOT Show website and the list of exhibitors. Looks like Yeti is all the way out. They had a huge presence for a number of years.

Personally, after their anti-NRA stuff I am happy to see them go. Just curious how much their moves have cost them.

Yeah ph uck yeti.. better or just as equal products out there for 1/2 there price

HAPPY TRAILS YETI. JOIN ALL YOUR FELLOW ANTI-TRUMP LOSERS IN THE SCH*TTER.

I do not see Cordova Coolers (NRA's new fling) on the list of exhibitors, either... Expensive place to do business and their pockets cannot be close to the depth of Yeti's.

No Rtic?

Screw overpriced yenta Yeti. All dialed in here with $122.49 45 qt.and $139.99 65 qt Rtics.

Drug fresh seafood from Ft Lauderdale area to east WY and antelope and elk all the way back with the Rtics.

Never had any problems and kept everything cold.

I purchased an Ozark Trails, 40 oz cup from Wal Mart for $10. First time I took it to work, left it in the truck on a 100°, 10 hour day with the windows up. Heading home the cup was so hot outside it burned my fingers. But, it still had ice and the Tea was cold as it could be. Never expected that from a $10 cup.

Really like my RTICs 3 years and no issues yet. Not exactly hard use but not sitting in the garage either. Bought a 110 this year and hauled it and a 65 full of frozen venison and pork products back home on a 2 an a half day trip from Ohio to Southwest Florida. Everything still frozen with exception to the very top layer of smoked sausage in the 110. It had about a inch or so of air between the sausage and the lid. It was just soft enough to push a fingernail in.
Next time I will put less in it and put a couple artic ice packs on top. The top layer will stay completely solid then. The 65 was full to the lid and it all stayed solid.
I always wait for a good sale to buy them.

Amazing technology from the chicoms, eh?

I have a Mossy Oak stainless 30 oz from Walmart. It holds heat/cold very well but I've never tested it like that. It'll still be plenty hot when I finish drinking it anyway. 2 problems: no replacement lids, no handles available. It's a bit too big to get a grip without a handle. I Fit a Yeti handle on it by adding a number of wraps of electrical tape to the cup to make it tight. It works ok.

where do you think YETI makes their stuff?

Or Rtic?

Haven't seen nearly as many yeti window stickers on hunters trucks coming through town this year. A couple years ago it seemed like most passing through, had it plastered on the rear window in big letters. I thought this was particularly brilliant of them as it let the thieves know there was an expensive cooler in the truck which was fair game. Seems a lot of folks have gotten smart and scraped yeti's free advertising off their vehicles.

Yeti was probably smart to pull out of SHOTShow.

I doubt they would be well received there.

Drink coffee out.of an Ozark Trail every day. Daggone thing will keep coffee nice and hot from first sip 'til ~ 2 pm.

Have a 30 oz Artic for several years. 5 or 6. still works great. Hot Coffee every day for hours

I have a yeti 65. It keeps ice longer and it’s grizzly proof.
Bought it about five years ago.

I've never experienced or seen any animosity with any product at SHOT. My experience is the attendees are incredibly respectful. Whether or not buyers at SHOT want to do business with them is a completely different thing. I am done buying their products, no doubt there.

Bought an Rtic 45 a couple of years ago. It was $170.00 compared to the Yeti 45 at $350.00. It was a no brainer.

I bought a YETI back when they were the only game in town and I had some trapline mad money burning a hole in my pocket but I wouldn't today regardless of their political stance. There's much better deals out there.

As far as the cups go.....I have a YETI and an RTIC...both gifted to me......I can't tell any difference but I don't need to keep a cup of coffee hot for 12-16 hours either.
