Will a Stihl cut through a Yeti?

Lotta fake news on here.... Yeti didnt stop supporting the NRA because of any AR-15 thing... google people, stop being a CNN with the fake news...

They stopped selling discounted products to the NRA Foundation (not the NRA or NRA-ILA).

“
A few weeks ago, YETI® notified the NRA Foundation, as well as a number of other organizations, that we were eliminating a group of outdated discounting programs. When we notified the NRA Foundation and the other organizations of this change, YETI explained that we were offering them an alternative customization program broadly available to consumers and organizations, including the NRA Foundation. These facts directly contradict the inaccurate statement the NRA-ILA distributed on April 20.

Further, the NRA-ILA stated in that same public communication that “[YETI has] declined to continue helping America’s young people enjoy outdoor recreational activities.” Nothing is further from the truth. YETI was founded more than 10 years ago with a passion for the outdoors, and over the course of our history we have actively and enthusiastically supported hunters, anglers and the broader outdoor community. We have been devoted to and will continue to directly support causes tied to our passion for the outdoors, including by working with many organizations that promote conservation and management of wildlife resources and habitat restoration. From our website to our film footage and from our social media posts to our ambassadors, YETI has always prominently featured hunters pursuing their passions. Moreover, YETI is unwavering in our belief in and commitment to the Constitution of the United States and its Second Amendment.”

As I understand it, you can take food from a 400 degree oven, place it in a Yeti cooler, and it will freeze within 10 minutes.

That was Yeti's bullshit lie and they dug deeper into stupid by essentially calling out Marion Hammer. She then posted the exact and full communications which made Yeti look very bad.

They were trading advertising for product to use to the benefit of both and Yeti unilaterally dropped NRA while making their access equal to everyone- usually referred to as full retail.

Yeti crapped in the nest.

Yeti still skunks,
What you're also seeing is a major problem with hunting. Outfits like Mule Deer Foundation, RMEF Pheasants Walleyes, are all single-species groups and the only "big picture" group besides NRA might be Safari Club. So the Greeens and left wing strategists have been trying to make inroads, unfortunately successfully, using lots of foundation MONEY, to chisel off the Fudds from NRA and the larger gun-rights thing.
Yeti made the same calculation. Not all ourdoors people are gun people, in fact there are more unhunters than hunters. So rather than tick off the non-gun majority of the customer base, they chucked gun rights so they wouldn't be hammered by Bloomberg hate campaigns.
And if you'd asked those guys at the MDF if they cared, I'd bet most of them don't.

So perfect it looks photoshopped.
