If I don’t buy a Yeti I am a smart money manager, if I do purchase one I won’t be able to laugh at the yeti owners while wintering in warmer climates. Well shit, just one more thing I have done wrong. I guess my dad was right about waste not want not. However I don’t ever recall anyone asking for anything but an ice cold Busch light, like “hey John throw me one of those sun baked, piss warm, skunky Busch lights. Haha

All this makes me want to blow this months commissions on Lamborghini hunting trucks.

Geez Louise, you must make some commission checks. I can't eve SPELL Lamborghini.

LOL, I wish Lambo did make a truck. I wouldn't buy one, but it'd be something.

Time was, people laughed at the idea of four-wheel drive Cadillac, so...

From what I have seen of this, it feels a lot like the NRA spun this to villainize Yeti. If this is true its unfortunate because credibility is important with our current political atmosphere...

NRA is saying don't blow up the products and Yeti is quiet . I hope it doesn't end up in court , NRA has better things to defend.

So months have passed now since this controversy started and has this issue had long term effects on Yeti? I sure don’t forget those who politic against the 2nd amendment. I know for a fact that Ducks Unlimited still has a vendor program through YETI, but I thought all of these nonprofit groups were ended??? I would never destroy my yeti gear but it will be a cold day in hell before I buy a YETI product!

As sportsmen we need to value our rights BEFORE they are taken away...

Don't own anything more than a Yeti mug (but it works well...). I would take a cooler or three, but they're a bit rich for my blood.

Don't much care what others do with their stuff. Blow it up or not. Meh...

However, you hit the nail on the head with your last line. Value your rights while you have them - not after. Fight for them before they're gone - not after. Much easier to maintain and retain a right, than to lose it and eventually have it PARTIALLY reinstated.

Memories are short term. It was a small blip on the radar screen for Yeti. It always is. Just like NODAPL and people claiming to never spend a dime at Prairie Knights. I doubt Prairie Knights was even effected by the boycott.

Kinda reminds me about the whole Scheels credit card thing. Never heard what actually came of it.

Memories are VERY short term. NODAPL made me see red. I go to the casino very seldom, so it's no big deal to me, but I will go even less after that debacle.

Now, let's go watch some football, right? Since they don't televise the kneelers, it's alright again, right?

Pffbt. Thank God I don't watch football, or I'd feel like a heel tuning in.

Oh, also, when is Rosey O'Donnell moving out of the country? I'm still waiting for that one.

Well you would be wrong if you don't think the protest hurt PKC $$.

I’m sure the protest itself did while it was happening. I’m talking after it was all said and down the people that said they will never spend a dime down there. I would bet a year later it was business as usual. I could be wrong though.
