Is the Yet Bucket a joke?

Dont forget to get them a lid as well.

The sticker is $40. The bucket comes free.

got bucket + lid on fathers day. Would have never bought it for myself, but now that I have it, I like it. It's 6 gallons, the lid is a reinforced honeycomb of lexan 1" thick with a rubber seal. It can hold in liquid if its tipped over with the lid. The bucket and lid are reinforced enough where you can stand on it. Bucket wall is thicker plastic than normal. The handle is mesh "tow-strap" material instead of a wire; there's tie-down slots on the rim. It's pretty damn good bucket. I also have the $5 bucket from the hardware store. they both hold things, the yeti does it better.

Its like the $600 dollar 30-06 or the $1500 30-06. They both go bang, they both use the same bullet, the deer cant tell the difference. But they sell a shite load of both.

I just don’t see it that way. I’d be proud to own a $1500 rifle. I’d be ashamed to own a $40 bucket.

Thats actually a steal. Link?

They are legit. We were offshore fishing and had one up on the bow to keep bait close while we were fishing for groves. Probably 3'-4's and that thing didn't even think of moving. It also doesn't need water to stay up right when moving spots.

like I said, never would have bought it for myself, but I like it. It's been used for every imaginable purpose all summer at our camp, hunting lease, etc. The $5 bucket would have cracked and the handle fell off by now.

All the guys at the duck camp have Yeti buckets and they are very functional as a shell bucket/seat.

I much prefer the home depot bucket. That way when I put nasty shite in it, I can just throw it in the burn pit when it's unusable.

I'm really not sure what I'd use a yeti bucket for. It's too expensive to actually use.

I know a few who admitted to buying theirs but they are far outnumbered by the "it was a gift" crowd

I cant keep up with free 5 gallon buckets from around the shop...and lets face it, sometimes you just gotta throw one away cause you left the fish heads in a touch longer than you shoulda
