| Just for the hell of it  |
Not only is YETI facebook page getting lit over this people are now posting to Cabela's asking for them to drop YETI. Even better RTIC posted on their social media pages a picture of the 2nd Amendment. I hope this backfires in a huge way for YETI _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

I saw that on their Facebook feed. It's likely to lose them a bunch of Fudds and non-2A folks, but they'll pick up all the lost YETI customers. I only buy RTIC anyhow, and I'll certainly continue to do so given this development. | |||

Why do you feel compelled to mock the people posting here? If you don't want to participate in the Yeti bashing, than don't. | |||

Cabela's has been pushing their own brand of outdoor coolers for awhile now, and drawing down the numbers of Yetis. Seen it in my local Cabela's. | |||

One of you entrepreneurial types needs to start a line of coolers etc. and call them Sasquatch Coolers.  You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

If I already had a YETI cooler, how would sending it back hurt them? The same way taking a sawzall to an already purchased rifle? Don't be stupid. All sales are final, except the ones not yet or no longer made. Otherwise Panera Bread would have a hell of a cleanup at their front door, compliments me. But as an adult I can choose to go elsewhere w/o the petty threats of the left. | |||

I just got back into town and my wife told me about this. I sent out brief and polite emails to Cabela's, a regional outdoor store, and to Midway. Tomorrow, I will stop at a local outdoor store and make a similar request. Let's go after the businesses who offer Yeti products to the consumer. Silent | |||

No it won't because those "Fudds and non-2A folks" in large part aren't their target demo to begin with. When you as a business opt to side with those who don't fish, hunt, camp, ski, or boat while turning your back on those who do (i.e. your customers), you're going to lose a lot of business. And I'll bet RTIC will only see net gains in their sales based on this move, just like all the other companies have who've refused to knuckle under to this filth. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

This link goes directly to the comment page for Yeti. >>>> https://yeti.formstack.com/forms/contactus I used it to let them know how I like their decision regarding the NRA. *********************** * Diligentia Vis Celeritis * *********************** "Thus those skilled in war subdue the enemy's army without battle ....

I found this website informative regarding which coolers are made in the USA. Where Are The Coolers Made? http://thecoolerexperts.com/wh...he-coolers-are-made/ | |||

I won’t be destroying any of the YETI products I currently own, but I won’t be buying any in the future. However, I will be adding NRA and Sig Sauer stickers to the ones not already festooned with USMC stickers. | |||

Don't toss it in the trash. Instead make a YouTube video of you cutting it in half. | |||

I don't own any Yeti products (and they just made sure that I won't ever) but If I did own one I might be tempted to see how it fared as a range target. Maybe even do some ballistic testing of my favorite iced-down beverage. Of course some slow-mo video of said tests would be entertaining. I suppose such an educational video might even wind up on some sort of social media sites.  | |||

I agree... the RTIC cooler is every bit as nice at the Yeti, and I got mine from a sale link here for way less than the Yeti. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

If I owned a Yeti product that's what I would do. Throw it away. But before I did, I'd take a video of me running it over with my car and then post it on FaceBook with a little commentary about why they can shove their product where the sun doesn't shine. Edited to add: I didn't read the entire thread before I posted this and I see some creative ways to let Yeti know about how I feel. I especially like the idea of shooting the Yeti,lol. | |||

With regard to the argument that destroying already purchased Yeti products(and posting or otherwise publicly declaring or showing said destruction): Of course, Yeti doesn't suffer loss from something it has sold in the past. What it does lose is the perceived brand valuation and "good will" that the Yeti brand should have and that would result in future sales. That's the real result of trashing something you already purchased in protest(and replacing it with another brand). Bill Gullette | |||
