    I've been wanting to purchase a 20 oz Yeti Rambler because I've heard great things about them. I too have a hard time paying $40 for a thermos. While at my local Walmart today I found the Yeti Rambler knock off, Ozark Trail brand (near the sporting goods section). Lifetime warranty looks identical and it was only $9.99. This thing is awesome! Save yourself $30, you're welcome! BTW this ice has been in here for 6 hours in 80 weather.

    I picked up a 30oz. I could not bring myself to pay $40 for a Yeti. Today was actually the first time using mine. I left it sitting in a closed vehicle for a few hours in 85+ temps while out and about. I ended up running out of water before the ice melted. The ice still hadn't melted when I got home. I also managed to drop it on the pavement and it held up aside from a small dent and some scratches. Should be great for keeping my drink cold while fishing.

    Hmmmmmm. If only they made a big cooler knock off that was as good as the yeti for 30% of the price.

    As much as I keep trying to justify a bad a** cooler like that, I simply can't do it.
    I just don't hunt or fish anywhere where I would need something like that. Wish I did, but I simply don't. Dang.

    I have the same Ozark Trail tumbler. Picked mine up for the bargain price of $7.74 and it works great. :tu:

    Hmm. Gonna have to try and get one of these. Wanted one for a while, but didn't want to be one of those Yeti guys.

    For the guy wanting a badass cooler for cheap.........look at these. Pretty sure I'm gonna get one of these soon.

    I've heard that too, might have something to do with the lawsuit but who knows.

    All the stuff I've got is yeti but that only because can walk into about 4 stores close to home and walk out with what I want. Sucks now tho since the same places are starting to carry these cheaper ones but oh well ha.

    But now I'm curious about what TJ said ...

    I have the bigger yeti rambler but have been wanting to get the smaller one. Think I will pick one of these up instead!

    I also own a knock off rambler. Seems to work decent. I use it for coffee and keeps my stuff warm until I can drink the whole thing. Not a bad price for what you get. :tu:

    I'll have to pick one of these up. The coolers aren't in stock around me I guess.

    Hope so, I just know a few fellas that ordered them oh, like back in early fall I think. Most were givin like two week lead times, which turned into a month, then 3, then 6 and so on. Most ended up cancelling their orders a couple others finally got the coolers early this year. They are happy with what they got... if you can get past the wait time. Hopefully it goes better for you and for all I know that issue has been rectified since....idk Also I would imagine ordering thru Amazon as opposed to direct will likely work in your favor. They are probably stocking them :)

    I have a few Yeti's now, Rambler, Tundra, Coldster, even the foam coozie, and will prob grab a Hopper before my NM trip in a couple weeks. I have yet to regret any of the money I have spent on them so far.... Probably grab one more bigger Tundra before next Elk hunt and I should (hopefully) never need to buy another cooler again.

    Yeti hasn't disappointed me yet but I could see myself buying some of theses knock-offs for the kitchen cupboard.
