Never did understand why someone would pay that much money for a cooler, cup, or tumbler etc. You can buy plenty of them that do as good if not better job of keeping things hot/cold, and for a 1/10 of the price. There must be some people paying that much as the company seems to do just fine.
I heard Delta air lines stopped giving breaks on air line tickets for NRA members. I guess I didn't know they did that. I think there was another air line that also stopped giving ticket breaks to NRA members.
They were to expensive anyway. It will be interesting to see how many hunting shows that are sponsored by Yeti continue to take their money.....Although he's not the only one, Jim Shockey is the highest profile TV host that pushes Yeti coolers...lets see what he does...

While I don't like that they dropped the NRA and I won't be buying more of their products unless they remedy the mistake, saying that you can get something that works like they do for 1/10th the price is just flat wrong. None of the knock off brands that I have bought or been around that are about the same price or even 10 to 20 percent less than Yeti really stack up. Some don't even come close. With the old Igloo and Coleman's, well they ain't even in the same league.
I’m a firm believer in pushback. I’ll be contacting them first thing Monday morning. These companies give in time and time again to fake outrage. 5 to 10 people makeing themselves look like tens of thousands by using web bots. Some companies have figured it out, others can’t or don’t want too.

In head to head tests the Yeti's often don't perform as well as brands that sell for 1/2 or less of the price. I've linked to one such test below. Nearly every cooler does better than the Yeti. The one I own, the Coleman Marine Extreme, beats the Yeti every time in it's ability to hold ice. Mine is a 120 quart and sells for about $65.00. The Yeti of the same size lists for $550.00 (88% more than the Coleman).
Pick a side, lose a side just don't understand how these business folks can't figure that out or what is making them pick a side! Considering the NRA has nothing to do with the current BS they like making up about them why even go there?

I don't care enough about your opinion to go and look them all up, but in fact people have done testing on a large number of coolers, tumblers etc. with multiple basic brands killing the Yeti. I think there's a couple already mentioned above this post. I have an Ozark Trail tumbler I got on clearance for around $2.50 that held ice longer than a Yeti tumbler of the same size that cost my buddy $40....That's actually like 6% of the price, but I guess I rounded up....? Anyways argue on.

Whether you use them or not, send them a note that you won’t be spending any money with them. Direct links provided by waggler. Takes 5 mins.. Those on the flipside will take the time, so should we.

Is that the same thing as "wannabe white-trash"?
I recollect not very long ago long threads on this forum where numerous tests showing Yeti to be inferior to much cheaper units were linked and many Trappermen said all the tests were bogus.

Pretty much the same thing .
I didn't see that thread . Don't use yeti products so don't care .
Just emailed them saying I will not purchase another Yeti product, but it's difficult to toss a $500 cooler out. The more I think about it the more I'm inclined to though.
I just sent them an email: Due to your company refusing to sell products to, and severing ties with, the NRA Foundation without prior notice or explanation, I will not purchase another Yeti product.
Thank You,
XXXXXXX XXXXXX
I urge you all to do the same. Here is a link to Yeti's contact information (also provided at the bottom of the article the OP linked to. Yeti Contact Info
Dumb move to turn your back on the outdoors people whom buy thier products. The jackwagons they are pandering to, are not the ones keeping them in business, and now I hope they learn a lesson, the hard way!
I told them that due to their decision, I wouldn't be purchasing any more of their products. I told them it was great to live in a free country where they could make a decision and I could also make a decision, only I won't be losing a job over mine.

I don't care what you care about bud. I am speaking from personal hands on experience. I am not relying on some " I heard it on the internet so it must be true" source. OUi, Oui?
So as you say, argue on.
It is a moot point for me. If Yeti dropped the NRA then I am dropping them.
I am ashamed of what yeti did, but I have no shame that I bought one years ago. I can't buy products buy guessing what some maker will do in the future. I needed a cooler that I could eat out of for a week at a time, without worrying about the contents. I keep it in my truck all summer, right next to a coleman extreme. The coleman has been reduced to a water cooler. If you ice the coleman up on sunday, along with the yeti, when next sunday comes, the food in the coleman is like a science project. My food in the yeti is still ice cold, even if most of the ice is melted. I do think yeti changed when they crossed the ocean, and I do think the company sucks for taking sides with crybaby's, and most are not of voting age.
Nice to see so many of you guys took the time to contact Yeti and tell them that you will no longer support them. My father wasn't a fighter, but he always told me if you are in one, the only thing that matters is winning. We have to start fighting back against the insanity and the only thing they understand is the bottom line. Kind of stupid if you think about Yeti....their whole advertising campaign is geared towards hunters, and anglers......Reminds me of what Cheaper Than Dirt did a few years back. I still havent forgotten that and refuse to buy anything from them even if I have to pay double.
I sent my opinion to them telling them with a struggling youth today with drugs and addictions. Why would you stop supporting the NRA that helps introduce kids to the outdoors. That's just my 2cents
By the way, I also let them know I will not buy thier products again. I just don't get how they thought this was good for business. i will now need to hide it, paint it, put a rainbow sticker on it, or fill it with tanerite, and shoot it.
For anyone else that wants to contact them expressing their opinions on the matter here is a link to their contact info. I emailed them. Will also call them in tomorrow when they are open.

I am thinking option #4. I will be throwing away my Yeti coffee mug and replacing it with anything else.
I'm contacting the sporting goods retailers that sell their coolers that will hurt them more if the big retailers wont even carry them. A guy might buy one cooler a year but how much more do you spend in cabelas or sportsmans a year?

There is a company that sells stickers so you can cover the name. Can't post a link but the replaces the y in yeti with Shi then the rest of the yeti cooler name. Funny take on these over priced coolers.

It's amazing to me how many businesses, or people in general, that really couldn't care less about the constitution. This country is headed down a slippery slope, and fast. I emailed them my concerns.
I am one that is glad when companies choose sides. It shows me their true values and makes it easier for me to spend my money on different products. I suspect yeti will reverse course after some push back but that is not what i am interested in. I would rather no one told them anything and they just lost their a-- and folded up company.

I am glad we live in a country where people can make all these choices.
It just appears to me that more companies would learn from the stupid mistakes other companies make.
Why not just keep your mouth shut and get everyone's money rather than open your stupid yap and instantly cut your income in half.
It does truly baffle me.
So, Pelican or Engle?
The Pelican is OK. I haven't tried the Engle or RTIC.
I won a KYSEK brand as a performance award at work a few weeks ago. The company is based here in Louisiana. It holds ice better than my Coleman Marine Extremes. I get about 36 hours more life out of my ice with the KYSEK over the Coleman It has very heavy duty hinges, handles, and drain spout, which we all know are weak spots on many standard coolers. I guess I will see how it holds up. It is my company truck cooler now.
WOW, this move by Yeti really surprises me. I know first hand, the 2 brothers that spearheaded Yeti are avid deer hunters. They must not have much say now??

From my understanding, they sold out 5-6 years ago.

Contact Yeti by all means... but also contact all the high profile tv hunters who are sponsored by them and take their money. The Crush, Jim Shockey, Eva Shockey, the Drury brothers, etc
Thank you for taking a break from your adventures to reach out to YETI. Our normal business hours are Monday - Friday 8-5:30 CST. As soon as we are back in the office from our own adventures we will personally respond to your inquiry. We look forward to helping you!

We will see if there is a non-automated reply to come.
No, I have not, I just looked back, it's been 5 years since talking with Ryan and Roy. Pretty obvious they don't have much if any say today. It will be very interesting to see how the retailers/dealers react to this move.
Lugnut: Thanks for posting the email address of yeti. I wish there was a post that would stay up with all the Co. organization etc that have pulled there support of the NRA. I am not any good at finding those address. But I would sure email them with my two cent worth. Just being a NRA member is just not enough any more. WE ALL have to get more active if we want to keep our 2nd amendment right.
I just sent them an e-mail saying how disappointed I was in their decision. I said "You stop supporting the NRA, I stop supporting you. Bad decision you your part."
I doubt the looney left is a strong customer base compared to the folks that spent the majority of their time outdoors, might be a few wayward snowflakes but not many! LOL
They have a statement up on their Facebook page claiming they offered the NRA an alternate program and that they fully support the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment.

Yeti coolers is owned by Cortec group. They are a private equity group that owns several brands mostly medical related. They had petitioned to launch an IPO on yeti a few weeks ago but backed out of the bid .they anticipated making 3.2 billion on the IPO launch . Can you imagine their stock price after that news if they had launched the IPO .
Its America they can do what they want.. Got a question for ALL on here ranting about this. Will it really effect you. How much did them supporting ( how ever they did) the NRA really matter? Lots of people wouldn't even know this happened if most of you whining didn't announce it.
Good news. They must be getting overloaded. Id like to be a bystander in the next board meeting,
Try emailing them again. I sent them an email earlier, but when I saw this post, I tried again. The second colorful email went through, so I’m sure they’d love to hear from you.
To give it a better chance of actually being read, I put one of their expensive cooler models as the subject. “Oh, what a relief, here’s finally one from a customer that doesn’t hate us!
BOOM, mentally wrecked by an email politely telling them that they’re hopefully going to be experiencing declining sales and layoffs soon.

It's not about whining. It's about pushing back against companies that don't support the second amendment, pushing back against companies that sever ties with organizations and individuals who do support 2A.
The alternative is to lie down and quietly take it.

Absolutely right Lugnut! Not many on this site will just take it without a response!
Ok be honest !!! How many of the people that posted on here are ACTUALLY customers? How many would be repeat customers. Enlighten me on how exactly this push back is supposed to happen. Its not like they are Walmart or a fast food chain. There are so many knock -offs for half the price that most posters on here are money savvy would buy the cheaper version.

I got a response. Also had a conversation with a customer rep. Yeti says all it did was discontinue an outdated discount Program to replace it. The NRA was affected by this along with a lot of other organizations. According to Yeti the NRA assumed that yeti was cutting ties and through out a statement to get press. Yeti assured me they support our 2nd amendment and always will. Possibly true? I think so but who knows. The NRA is no doubt looking for anything to push people to raise heck And get publicity. Or Yeti could be doing a quick cover up.

That, imo is what's going on. Look at the press coverage, they are getting hammered and are trying to save face. Idiots!
....I thought yeti coolers were for closet homos with money from the get go
....guess I was right lol
Not really. You excluded the rednecks with money who bought enough beer, but don't want to take a chance on having to drive 30 miles back to town from deer camp for ice. I say, go with a 2nd amendment cooler company or make the drive. Yeti stinks on ice, pun intended!
We're writing in response to your recent email inquiry.
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.
I have a relative in Texas who heard that from a Texan, the whole steers and queers thing. But I don't judge, I realize some of you fella's are out a ways, so carry on lol. Yeti sucks!

Thanks for reaching out to YETI.
I don't believe them. I believe they were once again (see nvwrangler's link) catering to their anti-gun hipster demographic and it backfired.
You would think it being such a Dick's like move maybe they were telling the truth but then you look at their target audience on their Facebook YETI site and it seems like they intended to mess with the NRA. Trying to find a hunting post on their page are few and far apart.
Regardless, they're part of the , " I still live with my wealthy parents, but I'm a Florida Georgia Line blaring , big diesel truck driving ,white framed sunglasses wearing , Tapout t-shirt sporting, redneck " starter pack.
Yes Sir ^^^^^
You did forget "salt life" stickers - seems when I go inland I see those diesel trucks with aqua colored yetis and the truck will have some sort of "salt life" sticker plastered on it.
Well I found out one thing I didn't know... me and all the other people I know who bought a Yeti, were given a Yeti as a gift, or won a Yeti at a NRA, NWTF, DU, Whitetails Unlimited event, or as a safety award from their company or clients over the past 10 years, were actually closet homo, yuppie, hipster, anti gun, sissy, mama's boys/ girls.
At least according to some of the experts on Tman....Just got to sit back and smile sometimes because you just can't make some of this stuff up.
I guess all you pre controversy Muck boot wearing folks got some 'splaining to do.

Doesn't take much to set off the gunflakes of club compromise. In the grand scheme of things, an over priced cooler company really isn't all that important. Perhaps instead of being miffed over a cooler company it would be better to wonder why Republicans haven't put forth any pro gun legislation (repeal of the NFA), since they now have both houses of congress and the executive?

It looks like they're in full damage control mode right now; or should I say, panic mode.
On another subject; what's "salt life"?
A brand name that started out with stickers but is now on shirts and all kinds a gear. Usually worn by people who live more than 100 odd miles or so from any kinda salt water or further.
Seriously though it is just a locals joke around here about people from off
Yeti, the premium cooler-maker synonymous with the outdoors and country music, was forced on Monday to defend its “unwavering belief and commitment” to the Second Amendment after widely read email from the National Rifle Association.
The NRA emailed its members that the Austin-based company “suddenly, without prior notice” indicated that it wanted to cut business ties with the NRA Foundation, The Statesman reported.
Since the initial report, some customers have taken to social media to destroy their Yeti products, including the #YetiCoolerChallenge, where a woman blows up here cooler.
The company is about 10 years old but rose to prominence in recent years. Chris Jansen, a country singer, wrote about the cooler in his 2015 hit "Buy Me a Boat."
The Statesman's report pointed out that the email comes at a time other high-profile companies have ended their relationship with the NRA after the Florida School shooting.
News4Jax reported that it obtained the NRA email that claimed that the company refused to say why it “will no longer sell products” to the foundation.
Yeti—which sells coolers that reach $1,299-- worked to clarify its position. The company said that it notified the foundation and other organizations, a few weeks ago, that it was “eliminating a group of outdated discounting programs.”
“When we notified the NRA Foundation and the other organizations about this change, Yeti explained that we were offering them an alternative customization program broadly available to consumers and organizations, including the NRA Foundation,” the statement read. “These facts directly contradict the inaccurate statement the (NRA) distributed on April 20.”
The company said, it has “always prominently featured hunters pursuing their passions.”
Fox News reached out to Yeti and did not immediately receive comment.
Despite the company’s statement, which was posted on Facebook and Twitter, many commenters appear unconvinced about the statement.
One user, who received 1,700 likes by late Monday, posted, “I will use all my Overpriced Yeti products for target practice and buy new RTIC coolers for my outdoor uses!!”
(RTIC is a cooler brand that competes with Yeti.)
Another user called the statement “damage control.”
Still, some users appeared to have moved on from the back-and-forth and will continue to use the product.
"All they (Yeti) said was they weren't offering the discount program any longer to the NRA and other organizations and a new program was in effect, the NRA took it negatively and ran with it," a commenter said.
Last month, Yeti ended its plans to go public, citing “market conditions,” The Wall Street Journal
If Yeti wasn't actually jumping on the anti-NRA bandwagon their timing certainly wasn't good.
But I'm really suspicious of their action. Everyone in America knows it's in vogue right now to slam the NRA. Yeti obviously knew this, their marketing people wouldn't have allowed this to happen right now if they hadn't intended to try to capitalize on anti-NRA sentiment. They were pretty stupid if they didn't expect this backlash, I'm guessing they just misjudged what the results of their actions would be.
Well you all can put the pitchforks and lanterns back in the Barn. This is fake news. Had the chance to chat with Tiff Lakosky from the Crush tonight. Quail unlimited and rocky Mt elk released Statements defending yeti. They along with many other organizations got the same letter. Apparently when the nra got theirs they simply assumed they were being singled out. Aside from the statement Yeti released, the NRA promised to do a press release shortly apologizing for and retracting their original statement. Isn’t it crazy how social media can make a simple misunderstanding go crazy. But I guess the real joke is on all the people who smashed Their coolers and threw their cups away because of one post they saw online. Gotta love the internet

You think how much people they sponsor and the sheer enormity of yeti not supporting the NRA or the second amendment? How many hunting shows and all would have to come out and drop them as sponsors and all.
It does work both ways, very least yeti should can the folks who did not think this decision through? IF this is true, this decision and not the timing OF this decision was some very very poor judgement.
Would like to see those other folks come out and state they got their letters too, haven't seen them do that yet. Still think a lot of this is damage control -- go back to what waggler said
I'm hearing a lot of spin from Yeti. They have an anti-gun record, they've alienated half their customers before and had to reverse themselves. They claimed ignorance that time...

Doesn’t make economic sense to me, and they seem to hold ice just as long as my buddies yeti through a week of salmon fishing.

Jakedog, go back and read my post . Those other folks have done that. Quail unlimited released the same copy the nra got. They understood Yeti was changing a program that affected a lot of organizations. The nra did not understand what was going on. I tried To post the statement but this antiquated website doesn’t allow copy and paste. Go online, I’m sure you can find it. I’m not a yeti fan by any means, but if their intentions were good than who am I to spin it for drama’s sake. All evidence points to this. Yeti also purchased ads in the NRA magazine For next month. If they intended to cut ties than why would they do that?

You should have because of it's absurdity. My grandma bought me my Yeti cup for Christmas a few years back and she has handled more fur, killed more deer, caught more fish, drank more beer, and dipped more snuff than 80% of the people on this site.

Care less about YETI either? don't buy their gear, it is good gear but out of my price range or at least I choose to spend that money on things I find more useful than holding ice -
Nothing being spun for any sake but I have walked this world long enough to see the workings of things and have a good understanding of them.
Go back and read my post, you think of ALL the repercussions of YETI being anti gun?? think of all the folks they sponsor and that promote their products??????? the list is enormous - these gun folks outdoor shows, conservation associations, not just national ones but down to the local level? fishing touneys in my area alone are huge! they have a VESTED interest in YETI being vindicated and would certainly run to YETIs aid as they have.
Then like I said IF the decision is as they say then the CEO should be questioning just what or how the decision to do this was reached AT this time - - this is something that could have been postponed until a later date.
YETI might have been kicked in the gut but the silver lining is the DC politicians have certainly taken notice of this backlash.
Its America they can do what they want.. Got a question for ALL on here ranting about this. Will it really effect you. How much did them supporting ( how ever they did) the NRA really matter? Lots of people wouldn't even know this happened if most of you whining didn't announce it.
Us "ranters" who support the NRA are the ones who fight for YOUR right while you sit idly by on the sidelines and reap the benefits.
OK still waiting on the show of hands of people on this thread that ACTUALLY have supported YETI by owning one of their products.
Heck until this I didn't even know Yeti gave a discount to NRA members !!!
They are too high !!!!
I own 5 Yeti product. Some bought, some won at NRA Banquets, some given. It is my understanding that they did not give discounts to members but gave discounts to the NRA on their products that were used as prizes and giveaways.
It certainly has brought attention to the subject of quality coolers. I've been doing some research the past few days; I think I'm going to buy an RTIC.

My question from the start has been did YETI give money to the NRA? Or was it just a discount to members? How many members even knew they got a discount? IF they donated actual money to the NRA then no wonder the NRA is crying. SO glad you mentioned the word "RIGHTS" and fighting for them. Doesn't people in AMERICA have the right to donate and support WHOMEVER and / or WHATEVER they want. People and organization pull support from others everyday. They have the right to drop support for the NRA , just like you have the right to drop support (if you ever did) for Yeti

If I ever feel like I need another rotomolded cooler I am going either Pelican or RTIC. With the ones by YETI and Kysek that I already have I doubt I ever will feel the need.
Ok I am willing to bet that MOST of these outdoor programs that are getting ACTUAL money from Yeti keep right on taking their money. That is how they can hunt and fish for a living. Not getting money/ discounts from Yeti is why the NRA is crying. If the money stops people whine regardless of who it is ....

Yes I own several Yeti products and no I didn't get them through a NRA discount. Do you own guns? Are you a NRA member?
Yeti, the premium cooler-maker synonymous with the outdoors and country music, was forced on Monday to defend its “unwavering belief and commitment” to the Second Amendment after widely read email from the National Rifle Association.
"All they (Yeti) said was they weren't offering the discount program any longer to the NRA and other organizations and a new program was in effect, the NRA took it negatively and ran with it," a commenter said.
10 pages of misunderstanding just because the NRA and other Organizations will no longer get a discount on Yeti products.
No matter what is real or not no matter what was done and said a message was still sent to not screw with the outdoors folks or a price would need to be paid if they try to today. Look at their site we are not their main "target" audience they are trying to reach the millennials not their current base even Lil Stevie could see that! IMO

Yes I own several Yeti products and no I didn't get them through a NRA discount. Do you own guns? Are you a NRA member?
Yes I own guns. Have my entire life. I was a NRA member for 30 years but chose not to renew my membership because of some of their decisions involving bonuses and "perks". You don't have to look too hard to see how they have become like MOST big business organizations. Constantly screaming they need money to "fight for us". They still manage to have plenty for salaries . No don't expect them to work for less than a comfortable wage, but really?? But the day they started giving OUR hard earned money to CAMPAIGNS for filthy rich politicians I was done with them. Cloak it under the premise that we need them in office to keep our guns !!! I have also seen the scare tactics they love to use when lefty nuts get control of certain offices. I remember when Bill Clinton was elected "You will loose your gun" Raise your hand if anyone lost a gun during Clinton's years. Obama end of life as we know it if you hunt!!! Liberals had control of ALL 3 branches of Gov and we STILL kept our guns !!! How on earth did that happen??? Nope still got ALL my guns ! Even the ones I bought when I was 13 back in 1976.
With that said all the guys that like to tact out and roll around slinging lead down range out of 50 shot clips they may need to get nervous in todays climate. But as for me I got a feeling I'll still be carrying my old BDL bolt gun in the deer woods here in Ky as long as God sees fit for me to be able.
Well you all can put the pitchforks and lanterns back in the Barn. This is fake news. Had the chance to chat with Tiff Lakosky from the Crush tonight. Quail unlimited and rocky Mt elk released Statements defending yeti. They along with many other organizations got the same letter. Apparently when the nra got theirs they simply assumed they were being singled out. Aside from the statement Yeti released, the NRA promised to do a press release shortly apologizing for and retracting their original statement. Isn’t it crazy how social media can make a simple misunderstanding go crazy. But I guess the real joke is on all the people who smashed Their coolers and threw their cups away because of one post they saw online. Gotta love the internet
This may be an example of what I described as "scare tactics" LOL
It never ends with an organization that depends on "donation/memberships" to exist. The ex at NRA may be the ones running scared. May have to cancel some funded "trips" . But I'm done keep drinking the koolaid......
Be interesting to see the letter the NRA, QU, RMEF received.....and how it "reads". One would think at little one on one communication over a NEW program and discontinuing a long standing program VS dropping a "letter in the mail" MAY have been of value??.......things that make you go hummmmmm.
Imagine, a phone call from Joey/Jenny at yeti to their "partners"......Jane/John at the NRA: "Hey, we're needing to update our programs. We have a new program/discount for you. We're also going to discontinue XYZ program as of XXXX date". LOL
You and jbird should just go sit on your front porch and complain,it's free. Maybe throw in a few chants of "We will not comprimise" once and a while. The rest of us will continue fighting for our 2A rights.

Jbird better hope the anti's don't change their attack and go after bolt actions. He might give a flip then! lol
Is the NRA perfect? No. Are they the best chance we have of keeping the second ammendment intact in the way our founding fathers intended? Without question.
Except for the small fact of their history of drafting and supporting legislation that moved the 2nd amendment AWAY from what the founding fathers itended.
Only effort put into anything is criticizing the ones making the effort! LOL
What is your effort? Let me guess: Sending money to Club Compromise and voting for the party that CURRENTLY has all the power to repeal existing federal gun laws but does nothing?

Whatever it is it's 100% more then yours for sure~ Team zero

List the accomplishments of whoever you now support here.
If my goal is to repeal the National Firearms Act and it's subsidiary acts, it would be foolish to support an organization that supports those acts and in some instances drafted parts of them. But, if you do LIKE having a diluted 2nd amendment, than being a dues paying member makes a lot of sense.
Ts only impossible because of club compromise and the dead beat Republicans who milk constituents and club compromise of campaign re-election money while doing zero of anything worthwhile. Wonder how much Republican Scott got to take away guns from 18-21 year old floridians?
I didn't say anything about the cooler company, just people attacking Republicans and the NRA. The two groups totally responsable for you haveing a gun in your house right now.
I also figured you'd try to change the subject from the question i asked you.
Don't worry tho, we'll carry the water until your fantasy comes true.

Yep, there are bad ones, just like there are some outdoorsmen who don't try to help keep our ways alive.
I don't have nra or yeti. Yesterday I saw an nra ad online that read "nra-join or lose your 2nd". That made me not to want join the nra. If I don't join I won't lose my 2nd.
My right to own and posses guns comes from God. Not the NRA or Republicans. Perhaps if you realized that and moved beyond your 2 foot vision we could beat back the government into what it's proper role is. That will never happen if you keep supporting compromise and do-nothings. Unless that is what you want?
What Finn is saying about the NRA is true. They do compromise when they should have a zero tolerance policy. That's why I left them. With that said I am really impressed with Dana Loesch and the new NRA TV. I do not like that the NRA is intertwined with politicians and the goings on, but I am thinking of rejoining simply because it's no different than having two sucky candidates running for office and you must choose the lesser of the two evils. It stinks, yes, but what else is there???
"Wahhh, a cooler company did something to a club I belong to."
NO, It appears the club you belong to has turned a situation around and used it in an attempt to rally for more members and there money. It's amazing that in reading as many articles that there are about this the NRA has not responded to Yeti's response/statement they made on Monday at least I have yet to find one. I'll keep looking.

What he thinks is true, i agree! But........That isn't reality, as your starting to see. You can lay down and throw a temper tantrum, vote for George Washington as a write-in but in the end, it comes down to the real candidates who are gonna be making the desisions. And that ain't gonna be the George Washington you wrote in or your temper tantrum you threw while doing it.
Sometime, a person just has to face REALITY. Sorry guys, but that's the truth!!!!!!!!!!!
Except for the small fact of their history of drafting and supporting legislation that moved the 2nd amendment AWAY from what the founding fathers itended.
I haven't been on here lately, so I don't know if anybody posted this without reading all the post which I don't have time to do today.
RTIC Coolers are reminding gunowners they support the right to bear arms. Pelican Coolers will donate $10 to the NRA for every cooler they sell before the end of April. Some gunowners have blown up their Yeti coolers. Saw a video. Pretty cool.
Had my conceal carry class this past weekend to renew my permit. The instructor encouraged all of us (39) to join the NRA. He said you may not agree with all that they do, but it's still the best thing out there going for us gun owners.
Except for the small fact of their history of drafting and supporting legislation that moved the 2nd amendment AWAY from what the founding fathers itended.
And your better alternative is...........
Pot head Gary the guy that had no clue where the world hotspot at the time was at! LOL Inept and clueless
I've noticed the last few days that some of the hunting shows that are sponsored by Yeti are doing everything they can to justify the decision Yeti made. They are all but calling the NRA liars in some cases. I guess they dont want to bite the hand that feeds them.....
I am not here to attempt to make you quit the compromise club, only to enlighten ye as to their past, and that repeal of the NFA isn't their priority. So, take it for what it's worth. If pumping cash into a political party of spineless greaseballs is your thing- carry on! The 4th of July is coming up in a few months, it'll be a fine time to watch freedom lovers shoot off fireworks as you contemplate why it is you continue to support a government filled with greaseballs that you helped elect. Also contemplate how much more fun it would be to celebrate freedom and independence with a long rip off a belt fed machine gun that you ordered through the mail instead of looking over your shoulder to see if the popo is coming to take away your bottle rockets.

I'll take a wild gues, because i don't follow hunting shows and stuff on tv.
I can believe they offered a different package to the NRA, but i also cam believe the new package is less than before.
They may have been covering all the bases, being able to say the dropped sponcering the NRA to appease the leftists while also offering a smaller, different package to the NRA.
Likw i said, i don't know what went down, and wasn't my reason for posting here.
The platform of the Libertarian Party explicitly calls for ending the ATF agency. The Republican Mish Mouthed platform rambles on about law abiding this, reciprocity for permits that, blah blah blah. I am not trying to entice you to change party, as I doubt you would like to see the amount of freedom that we're after.

So what should we be doing?
That exact question has been asked of him many, many times, with the same results you've seen just a few posts above.
Right now, we have no better way to defend ourselves, period!

Really? Then what are all your negative posts to mean? Throw a temper tantrum and expect results?

Figure it out for yourself, become an apostle of freedom in your own way.
I don't make negative posts. I make posts that do not align with your way of thinking. It seems to bother you so whenever I bring up compromise or give a little history lesson.
Did you ever think that maybe joining us would help us (give us the numbers needed) to not have to comprimise?
That one Liberterian from Minn>? i think you endorsed changed to Republican to have a chance of winning. You bailed on that thread as soon as i posted about him switching parties.

It doesn't bother me, heck I feel the same way. I just thought that as committed as you are to posting on these kind of threads, you had insight to a better way, a plan. But I see that's not the case, no worries.
For what it's worth... Last year the NRA had a firearm sweepstakes drawing - send X dollars and be entered into this package and so on... the more you contribute, the more guns you might win. There was no information about when the drawing would take place, so I sent them 20 bucks and an email asking the date of the drawing. No reply. Soooo... I sent another email asking the date of the drawing - same.... no reply.
You and jbird should just go sit on your front porch and complain,it's free. Maybe throw in a few chants of "We will not comprimise" once and a while. The rest of us will continue fighting for our 2A rights.
Me being called out for complaining on a thread that is complaining about a club that is complaining that someone decided they didn't want to hear their complaining...
Yep sounds like America !!!
Oh yes PLEASE explain to me what YOU DID today to fight for MY 2nd amd rights. I hear this bull until I'm sick of it. I dare to state why I didn't rejoin. NOTICE I didn't say I have never been apart of the NRA but rather didn't re-up. The whole bunch is self motivated money grabbing back scratching crooks. They are in it for their own gain and no matter how many stand and say they are not just let the money dry up and see what happens....
PLUS talk about "we will not compromise" that is the first line in the oath to the NRA !!!!!
Maybe I'm a simpleton but it seems to me that someone could pick up the phone and call the other party before the change in policy to clear the air with the NRA if it really was a benign change in policy by Yeti. And it seems like the NRA could call Yeti and confirm the reason for the change. Instead, it looks like the nuclear option was employed immediately.
I know as much as you do and that is not much. I find it hard to believe that people that worked together for years could be that far off on their interoperations of a simple agreement structure.
So, maybe I'm confused, again, but it looks like Yeti purposely let it look like they were going anti gun so as to attract a new lot of consumers ( the anti-gunners) and once the word got out and the impression grew they said , just to the gun crowd not to the antis, "hey this was all a miscommunication, we didn't mean it that way" ; in the end they sell stuff to both groups?
ex-nra person pens a ignorant or purposeful misstatement, people against fake news, frantically share fake news, and have false outrage over nothing.....
Outdoors people/workers use coolers wine party folks not so much you would think. It seems a audience that needs would trump a one that might want the product over time. Time will tell they will lose customers the already had in the hopes of getting the ones they don't seems like a poor choice.
Well been gone for 3 days out of network range, wow, there's an hour I'll never get back. I thought from the get go that the NRA responded wrongly as to the perks Yeti was giving, it was rather clear to me. However, like a lot of things everyone jumped at the chance to bash them as they no longer support the 2nd amendment, WHAT? I get Yeti emails occasionally and they are sportsman oriented 100%. They went out to set the record straight and correct the NRA misunderstanding and bam, they are in damage control and lying just because they thought their bottom line was hurt, come on man, how about they are a great company and just wanted to protect their reputation? My son contacted them 3 years ago about sponsoring his college fishing team and they sent a cooler packed with tee's and trinkets for them to sell tickets or raffle off. I own many of their quality products, over priced, maybe but if you can easily afford it then you are free to spend your money how you wish. I love their products and they'll be around longer than I will.
I was out west on a rocky mountain elk hunt when we had some other hunters stop in camp to say hi! They saw my old deep freezer that I use converted to a cooler when we go out west. They kinda snickered at it and told me about their high dollar Yetis. Told me how it keeps everything so cold for so long. I just chuckled a bit after they left cause I know my old freezers turned into a coolers keep ice inside for 10 days while elk hunting and when I get back to Nebraska the big blocks of ice will still be ice in a couple weeks after we get back home. Yetis are just too high priced for a plain old country boy like me. I think they made a bad decision with this NRA thing, but I would have never bought one anyway!!
yeti coolers are built to last and will keep stuff cold or hot a long time. you can get the same quality of construction and insulation though for lees than half the cost of yeti. you wont be as cool though if you want to spend less money.
nra said yeti was supporting pelosi's version of gun control instead of the nra's version because yeti wanted to stop giving away coolers for nra membership promotions. they were not supporting Hillary just removing some nra freebies.
NRA is accusing yeti for flat out lying about dropping the nra.
According to the nra yeti refused orders of coolers the nra was trying to purchase from them.
I don't see it being a benefit for the nra to start trouble without cause so I take their side.
Yeti is typical corporate acting without regards to customers. They can scream all they want on convincing us they believe in the 2nd amendment as I don't believe them.
They can have the yuppie consumers and real outdoorsman will buy others that are loyal.

NRA: Yeti, we'd like to order 50 of your $400 coolers and 200 of your $30 tumblers Yeti: Nope, outdoorsman are our biggest market but we don't agree with what you do
OK!! I guess I'm a 52 year old yuppie, been called worse? Sometimes you gotta fly the BS flag when it needs flown
Well if you go and do some research you will find the Yeti did not drop the NRA, they (the NRA) were simply told that along with other companies the NRA would no longer receive volume discounts as they have in the past. The NRA released its version of what happened and Yeti responded. I posted the article that was made public a few pages back. The NRA has yet to respond to Yeti's release. Why I do not know.
I think both Yeti and the NRA are taking a lot of back lash for no reason.
So why did YETI tell the NRA that they did not want their logo in the NRA advertising?? Just saying . Taking my Yeti tumblers to the range next weekend. Keeping my drinks cold while i am there with Ozark Trail.
Aint much of a difference as far as I can tell. Dollar for dollar anyway. The ozark trail and Yeti tumblers are exactly the same. The lid is interchangeable and no difference in time as far as keeping ice goes. I have tried it. The thing about the coolers is that for the money, I cannot a way bigger cooler from OT that holds more ice / food from the get go. Thus keeping it longer because more mass.
