May 25, 20169 yr I was just about to pull the trigger on a Yeti cooler and stopped. I'm wondering if I really want an ice chest that I have to worry about getting stolen. My daughter has one and yes, it seems great, but mine will be sitting out at campsites and sitting covered in the back of my truck. Worth it? I just would be so pissed if I had my $400 cooler stolen along with all the provisions.
May 25, 20169 yr If I ever spend $400 on a f***ing cooler just come put me out of my misery given I'd clearly have lost my mind.
May 25, 20169 yr This is just my opinion, but I looked at the Yeti's and the cost+the fact people steal them made me buy a MUCH cheaper MaxCold and its been fine if not great. Holds ice for several days, has wheels, good size. Edit: Upon checking I have a MaxCold and an extreme 5. Both are pretty great and under 100 bucks. Both hold ice for several days in hot weather.

May 25, 20169 yr A guy I work with was best man in a wedding this past weekend. Justin Gage is the groom's brother-in-law. Justin bought all the guys Yeti coolers for a groomsmen gift. Edited May 25, 20169 yr by Leonard Zelig
May 25, 20169 yr They are indeed awesome. I think I'd rather just splurge on a coozy. In the future, they will be great for camping if they ever cut down their price or become so popular they are stolen less.

I also don't understand why so many people have the Yeti stickers on their cars. But I am in the deep south, so they usually have Duck Commander and Trump stickers too.

May 25, 20169 yr Author Hey, my daughter is putting a 50 and a 24 hour on her Jeep to mark the 50 mile and 24 hour races she has run. But actually, what bumper stick isn't lame? Your favorite sports team? College? Vacation spot? CB Handle?

I am having a hard time not making a smart ass comment about someone running A HALF OF A MARATHON and boasting about it with a bumper sticker.

Not sure which sticker you are referring to, but this is the bumper sticker for Great Divide's Yeti. They are very common in CO. http://www.amazon.com/Great-Divide-Brewery...l/dp/B01CJ7UV46 Is the one for Yeti Coolers just the one the spells out "YETI"?
June 9, 20169 yr Coolersforsale.com has a pretty great site comparing these higher priced coolers. Surprisingly Yeti's didnt do that well when they did an actual ice challenge.
June 9, 20169 yr Yeti coolers are completely overrated and overpriced. Who the heck wants to lug around a thousand pound cooler with no wheels? They seriously do not keep ice longer than some middle of the road coolers.

June 9, 20169 yr QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 10:17 AM) Coolers are for chumps. Bring a generator and a freezer or go home. Speaking of things that always seem overpriced, generators are ridiculous
