Sad. Still hoping for some sort of crazy miracle.

The regret the parents feel must be unbearable.

I think you would give up on yourself first, Walt.

YETI Coolers donated $25,000 to the GoFundMe Rescue Fund the family created. That's pretty stand-up for a company that didn't have to do anything. Props to them.


ETA: Rescue Fund GoFundMe Change the sort from Recent to Highest.

I posted my thoughts on the halt in the other thread.

I'm glad the family has collected money to continue the private searches, but it must be hard to come to grips with the formal search ending and the implied reasons why.

Google says that size runs about $400 - so 62 and a half coolers without factoring in what it costs to produce them. Regardless, I thought that was a good move by them.

It is a nice move and will also generate some good PR for them.

Yetis are expensive, and possibly overpriced, but it does cost something to manufacture, distribute and market them. Yeti didn't have to do shite, but they did. Good on them!
