I liken these coolers to other brands like G. Loomis poles, Nesmuk knives and Holland & Holland shotguns. You are paying for quality and you're getting it. It just happens to be a level of quality most of us really don't need and probably cannot utilize to max potential.

Must have been one helluva belt

Kinda stupid really. I love, respect and support our Service Men & Women but what makes them any more suited than the next guy? Most don't carry/use handguns at all. Not trying to take away from them in any way but a Jet engine mechanic, a surgeon and a cook [all vital roles] aren't exactly Tom Clancy novel material. I guess what I'm saying, if they're doing it as a way of saying "Thank you for your service" then I am 100% all for it. If their reasoning is that they are somehow MORE qualified, I don't agree.

Since we're talking fantasy land....I'm going with GAU-8

If I appreciate my Yeti for one thing, it's that my wife won't touch it. Fill that dude up with fish a couple of times and it'll be right where you left it the last time you cleaned it out.

I'll take it, we could spot schools for miles up there

Here's how I look at something like this. You've spent a couple hundred bucks worth of gas getting offshore. You hook into some big amberjack, tuna, dolphin, grouper, whatever... Pretty quickly you're talking about thousands of dollars worth of fish at market rates. You want to treat your catch with respect and not let it spoil. If you're out that far you've probably already got nearly 6 figures in your boat. Heck, you could buy a couple of igloos for what it's going to cost to fill that thing with ice alone. But, for the guys who have a need for something like this, it's worth it.

You could always suggest they lose a couple inches, see where that gets you.

Adult population (age 18 and up) in Tennessee is approximately 4,9 million. As of June 1, 2016, there are 560,933 HCP holders in Tennessee. https://www.tn.gov/assets/entities/safety/attachments/Current_HG_PermitHolders.pdf One in nine adults in Tennessee have HCP, yet amazingly we aren't shooting each other right and left.

It's very specific as to how it works & it MUST be followed to the letter, but for the savings, it's absolutely worth it! I'm in for 2 80qt coolers & possibly a 30 & I have a good friends joining my order with a 2 65qt + a 115. There had been huge interest on the Rokslide forum & the guy who has arranged this has put in a TON of work. If anyone is considering buying a better quality cooler but is on the fence regarding price....this might just tip you over the edge! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Most likely, I will regret posting this. Many will disagree. We'll have people say this will never work. Nonetheless, here is what I'm working on to protect us, which is to change the conversation. I will try hard not to engage. Every time I have to apologize for being a dickhead on TGO it is around some kind of political issue. Demographics are not working in our favor. The gun control argument works very well with the demographic the will soon out grow us. I posted the following in response to this article: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/overhauling-mental-health-care-silver-bullet-reducing-gun/story?id=40193010 Note my approach, which is trying to change the conversation. If the issue is gun violence, then let's talk about how to reduce it. This was not written for us TGO types. This was written for the folks up north, in Chicago and in California. I will polish this and once it is really good, I'll send it as a letter to the editor to newspapers in the areas just mentioned. I will say that I'm open to comments on unintended consequences. **************************************************************************************** The journalist that wrote this article infers that the problem isn't mental health, but rather guns. He/she was dishonest as the comments by the experts in this article don't support that. If you look at what is said by the experts, they make one point, that mental health issues are not strongly associated with gun violence. Further, they state that mental health issues are not associated with violence. I take issue with politicians claiming they want to stop gun violence when their actions show that they use this topic for political gain. They view this topic as a way to rally the Democrat faithful and put little to no effort into solving the problem. The Republicans do same thing on different topics. Politicians exhibit this behavior because we reinforce them when they do it. We need to stop buying it. Notice that the gun expert didn't refer to guns when he spoke about violence. He spoke about the real issue, which is violence. Here is an example to make my point. First, these mass shootings are absolutely terrible - no doubt about it. They are also statistically insignificant relative to gun violence in the US. Far and away, most gun violence in the US is in the inner city. A young inner city man was killed by gun violence in my city recently. The police and inner city activists made a really good point, which targeted the true issue, which is violence. The point they made was that action was needed to get into the inner city and help youth understand that the rap music they listen to is a form of art, not a form of how the real world is or should be. When is the last time you heard a politician talking about that? If the opposing sides on the issue of gun control would lay that aside and collaborate on how to reduce both gun deaths and violence, we may really be able to make a difference. Here are focus areas I would like to see: · Marketing and safety campaigns around homes with children on keeping guns out of reach of the young ones and out of the hands of teens when adult supervision is not available. · Additional focus on reduced bullying and awareness of troubled teens. Inner city campaigns and education around violence not being the answer as well as teaching conflict resolution, etc... · Lay aside the gun control fight and look for common ground between the two sides to collaborate on reducing accidents and violence connected to guns.

2 bags over 30lbs!! 1st place was 32.53 and 2nd place was 30.13. Five fish. 20th place had 20.79. Night time is where it's at folks!!

YES! The Walking Dead is a great show but full on BS. Nothing will ever animate emaciated necrotic flesh. ....Now, I Am Legend???? Yes, that crap is within the realm of possibility and scary as hell.

No thanks. I'll just keep my Igloo thank you..!!!

Just watch Walking dead then watch World War Z or 28days later. WWZ/28 days later zombies are like a human with the speed of a cheetah on cocaine. I don't care who you are, no human can shoot a semi auto fast enough to combat even a few of those. I prefer the slow walkers of Walking dead. Quite honestly WWZ type zombies scare the shiite out of me, and a virus epidemic could very well cause it.

Where do you get the banjo?

Yeah, there's no rocket science to rotomolded plastic with better insulation. If Yeti is to be credited with anything, it's finding a niche and showing that there's an alternative to igloos that need replacing every other year. I've got a midsize Yeti that is a great cooler. The fact that it can be pressure washed is definitely a feature in my book. Being dry ice capable is also nice when you need it to get really cold. I think we're going to see some great innovation over the next couple of years. You've already seen the market change with competitors (ORCA, RTIC, Atlas, etc...) and prices drop (see Rob's group buy). Some are even starting to innovate - not just copy. Those Atlas's that Rob posted have better, thinner insulation. The fan boys have driven Yeti's pricing - it seems to be the classic they'll pay more if you'll just show them a way how. That said, I'm excited to see where coolers are in a couple of years when things equilibrate. I've been on big boats with freezers, but those seem to be the big diesels that are also carrying gensets. My uncle has a 30' parker that's fished 100's of days offshore. We still use ice on that one.

There my be my problem. Thanks.

That would work too.

I think my posting wasn't clear. I wasn't saying that I don't understand why private colleges are treated differently that public ones. Instead, I was saying that there should be absolutely no difference between how a private college is treated regarding this issue vs how any private business is treated. In other words, rather than laying out 'rules' stating that private colleges would need to come up with their own carry policy it should simply say that 'private colleges will be viewed the same under the law as any, other private business.' By that, I mean that the way I read the law it still seems that carry on a private campus is illlegal by default until and unless the college specifically creates a carry policy. Instead, the default should be that it is legal to carry there unless a policy is developed which restricts carry - just like any, other private business. I believe that if private colleges want to restrict or prohibit carry they should have to actually make the effort to do so rather than being off limits by default with the effort required only if they want to allow carry. My understanding is that before the change private colleges were treated just like any, other school - which is not the correct approach. Now, there are distinctions made between private and public colleges but it appears that private colleges are still viewed differently under the law than other private businesses. That is the part with which I take issue.

I'll stick with a refrigerator.

Ha. I'm going to choose that one when the question is what gun are you going to choose when you only have one bullet...

Don't you mean in 458 Winchester Magnum...

Bumping this back up in case anyone missed it. Just a few days left. I snagged a 30, 40, and 65 and a 30 oz twisted tumbler. Thanks for sharing!

Just got the email with the Steam Plant Shootout Match Book showing the stages. HOTTTTTTTTTTT- - - DAMNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!! Looking Good. You guys still wanting to shoot this match with those wheel guns!

It's a stupid exemption from a stupid law. What other Constitutional Right has a mandatory training requirement? I'm all in favor of training, but VOLUNTARY training.

Zombies... Suppressed 9mm AR SBR... with a brush axe attachment

Oh well, if you're talking zombies..... First choice would be my Osage long bow. Basically indestructible, replaceable in under 6 hours (as long as I have a knife to whittle with). Unlimited ammunition (there are sticks & rocks EVERYWHERE!) can be used like a spear, staff, walking stick or pike. It's absolutely silent, quick to reload & super light to carry (5oz) Second choice.... Fully silenced (what class 3?) .22 lever gun.

It sorta seems to me the suppressor world has recently taken a nice leap in innovation....more companies making them all trying to outdo each other has really helped us a consumers. I have a Dead Air Sandman-L on order for my .30 cal can. If the Surge was in Stock at the time I made my purchase, I would have had a difficult decision to make. I wouldn't second guess yourself on your decision, it looks like a can that will stay relevant for quite some time to come. The modularity of the Rugged cans is really appealing and seem to suppress well in either configuration.

If i can only have ONE gun for a life in the Walking Dead, it doesn't matter what it is as long as the barrel is short enough to easily get it to my temple.

Who else get's their own customer service song. Vid is several years old but doubt the philosophy has changed in Exeter. Too many other options out there to support them

I'd be glad to put that thing through its paces 60 miles offshore when we get into a lot of fish. This is a specialized cooler for very specific purposes. If you've got a use for it you'll be plenty happy with it.

My choice

It's a tough call. AK is my first thought. Preferably my m92, but any would do. I would also take my .357 lever action. Simple, fast, easy to carry and can load for big game with .357 or load way down for small game with .38spl. Add to it that every state should have plenty of these rounds available and since revolver carries are more limited shouldn't be as hard to find ammo as the other semi auto main calibers. Pretty easy to reload as well. Just a thought. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

A generator and chest freezer would be cheaper, probably lighter too.

Or an AR rifle with .22LR conversion bolt. Or make that a 10.5AR pistol that in WROL environment becomes a SBR. - OS

Yeah. It's funny to watch the reaction of women customers particularly, when I explain that carrying a weapon is going to require wardrobe adjustments if they plan to carry on body. Whenever I explain that IWB is going to require them to buy the next size pant to make room for the gun, they sure get huffy. "I am not ABOUT to buy bigger clothes! Forget it!" lol

Glock 20. Ammo choices provide the versatility to use it for everything from personal protection to hunting.

Wow. People do develop dumb habits. This tops the list. Reminds me of this though. My Wife performs modern ballet. We were at the Princess Theatre in South Pittsburg, TN. I was upstairs shooting photos and there was one other husband with me. Halfway through one of the shows at night two officers come in upstairs, it's just the four of us total. Well, they stay about five minutes and then leave. The other Husband gives me the biggest "what just happened face". He tells me later that since it was dark in the theatre the male cop pulls his gun out of his holster and uses his flashlight on the gun for navigation. Couldn't believe it.

Dude, I was just picking up some envelopes to mail some letters. Sorry you didn't like my attire. Just kidding. Might be someone on the forum though. Good job keeping your eyes open. I am glad there are people like you ready to take action to protect themselves and potentially others. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow! My guess (after reading the whole story) is that he probably has a bad habbit of playing with it and forgot that he was in public. However, that's a terribly bad habbit that can get him or someone else hurt. I think you handled it well and did a good job staying alert. I'll keep an eye out for this guy while shopping in Cleveland.

Getting an HCP is one thing. It's a start, but also an end for a lot of people. Carrying everyday, everywhere you can, and caring about gun rights like we do is another matter entirely.

We will take it if still available. Will give you a call tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure I have the primary "social" rifle dialed in just like I want it. 10.5" 5.56:

I got my CNC mill up and running to engrave on. Pretty stoked. Here are some pictures so far. Have some finer bits coming I ordered today to see how they do. I'm happy with it so far though. [/URL] And lastly, a 5th group buddy of mines team logo.
