What are some brands, items that’s only means of survival is by gift or corporate purchases?

YETI has to be on the top of this list. I’ve never actually known someone who spent their own money on anything YETI unless it was a gift from their wife they had no choice in making.

Bass Pro Shops…who goes in these stores other than for gift giving. I order all my stuff or go to Academy for anything last minute. Between credit card pushing, memberships, needing email, phone number, moms maiden name etc just to check out, I’m not sure what real outdoorsman messes with them esp since 80% of their stuff is junk. Yet their stores stay packed with women buying some crap as a gift for their husbands non stop.

…and go!

I use a Bass Pro to buy trail cam stuff, guns and gun stuff, knives, ammo and an occasional pair of boots. I only use them because they run specials with 15% off on Monday's for club members several times per year and I have points.

Bass Pro Shops

In Memphis we have two within less than 15 mins of my house. Very convenient and the kids love to see the taxidermy there.

Our academy is ghetto trash and based on the clientele the few times I’ve gone they’re only in business to supply shoplifters.

I have no idea who the food brand is. But the popcorn in the big round tin, that's an item bought solely at Christmas.

Rhoback clothing

I love the way they look but can't justify dropping that much on collegiate wear but I'll ask for it for Xmas.

Yeti is a good one. Same factory as the ones 80% cheaper. Orvis is another.

that’s because everyone who buys a yeti item then claims it was a gift or a raffle prize, so they won’t be mocked

personally I don’t give a shite, the yeti soft cooler I paid for is going on ten years of abuse now and was well worth the price

Same shirt without a logo is like $10 online.

A lot of markup in clothing.
