I’m a window cleaner. Used to go through like 5 of those $5 buckets a year on average. Wire handle gave out or bucket split. Got a yeti bucket a few years ago. Has some scratches here and there. To be expected. Bucket still strong and handle still as good as day one. Not only last longer, it’s just such better quality. My suggestion to anyone checking all this out is..Just get the yeti lol
It’s a bucket to hold ice/ fish/ drinks, it’s a seat, it has a optional gear tray and rod/cup holders. This replaces everything for a day at the lake fishing!!! Plus go home bleach it and it’s ready to go again! One epic bucket!
I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE!!!!!!!!! If you are an avid outdoorsman whose weekend endeavors require a 5 gallon bucket, these are a dream come true. I got 4 I will be buying a 5th ,I bought one to gift and that person loved it so much they bought another 1! I can strap to atv ect. These are truly the unsung hero's of the yeti line up! Excellent for ice fishing too!
@ScoopsTV funny, this comes up again as I used one all day today fishing! These rock! I use them for EVERYTHING! I actually own and use 6 of them! Cleaning fish, I have 1 bucket with fish to be cleaned, one with fresh water for rinsing fillets, (that way, scales don't clog sink) and one for guts. 5 gallon buckets are part of my recreation life. Food grade, non slip bottom, can be strapped to an atv etc, insanely durable and strong, and super comfortable carry! Be well, be safe, stay amped and have a revd up weekend! Take care!
For a while I didn't like the lid because it didn't get a tight seal, but I found out if you pinch the valve to the side and press the lid it will create a vacuum seal and the lid stays on much better.
I agree with you on the aspect of buying things once; I spend more on quality products because of the durability; I will spend a few hundred on a rain jacket that could withstand a force 2 hurricane versus something I got a deal on that will leak if the wind is faster than a breeze.
Agreed, i think its important to recognize that we may be more fortunate and able to afford what we want but people should also sacrifice and save if they really want something
I bought a trailer for work and the dude gave me 2 of them yeti buckets, I had already bought the coolers, but I found out that the buckets hold the ice better than your regular coolers even tho they are not meant for That 🤷♂️
Shoot glad Yeti is around to make common items we use daily but fails. I am a proud owner of the YETI BUCKET. Beat features to me is that the bucket is FOOD GRADE.
I feel like a crack addict ever since I discovered yeti.. their quality is awesome!! I have no use for this bucket but I’m buying it anyway and gonna find use just because lol
I got the foam insert out of the hunting bucket kit at academy and put it in the yeti. Now it doubles up my bucket into a cooler every now and then when I don't feel like carrying my big ass cooler around the beach. Cheers
I get the argument about paying to buy quality thjngs that will last, however there is an argument the other way. We live in a world where things are evolving fast and what is the best today might not be the best next week, which would make sense if youre buying something thats constantly evolving, it might be smarter to hold back on going fullbore. I think this is a safe bet though. The bucket has been a good tool for a long time and cant change much more. Ive been through everytype of backpack available and if you strap this thjng to a bullpack frame you have the ultimate backpack setup.
This is so weird. My neighbors just bought me the fully loaded one for Christmas. 130 bucks for a bucket. I've never had anything Yeti, so I guess when I went to the Yeti website for the first time, the youtube algorithm was monitoring me and recommended this video.
At that price point it's just a flex to say "look at my bucket, isn't she pretty" while some dude is trying to modify his bucket for the rest of his family to take a dump in at camp...
Your review is all I needed thanks imma buy myself a few, I'm that type of guy that likes to buy things once, do u by any chance know if u have it filled with milk perhaps and it tips over would the lip pop off?
Alright, David, I tried it with water . 5 gallon of water is 44.68 pounds ; it popped the lid right off and soaked my garage but but but , it took a lot of effort to force the bucket over , you will be good
@@ScoopsTV ok thank you very much for the extra effort u put in and yes with the rubber grip on the bottom it makes its really hard if not any tip overs cause u got the strap down holes on the side aswell but cause for my using i buy alot of milk sometimes for making home made cheese and really bumpy road get in the way sometimes while moving milk if u don't have something a bit more proper, thanks.
Have you ever had a plastic bucket last over a year with everyday use ? I use this thing for everything and still going 💪. I would have spend over that on cheap buckets that fall apart and don't have the features
i still think its a rip off .. no way in hell i would pay that much for a bucket .. i been using the same lowes bucket which is same as home depot for ten years now and its still in good shape lid and all .. i do agree with the handle comment but i took the handle off and replace with a rope and piece of pvc pipe .. and now home depot actually sells a bucket that looks similar to the yeti bucket ... i guess it is what it is to each his own
Yeah , if you are able to take good care of a home depot or Lowes bucket then he'll yeah just keep it . I'm really rough with my buckets , my Yeti bucket takes the abuse really well
Went thru sooooo many of da chit buckets, cracking in cold, weather Yada, Yada, Yada, spilling expensive bait sliding around, you name it, the whole works. All my yeti buckets still kicking strong!!! Thank you yeti for answering big dawgs prayers!!!! 🙏 To each their own!
Correct and correct and kinda correct . My studio lights make me squint my eyes and everyone assumes I'm stoned , the younger generation likes it so I just roll with it . I do smoke weed but not while filming it makes me useless
I can't find the stupid link but there is a article out there that shows how much it cost yeti to make one of those buckets. you are getting ripped off lol you literally paying for a name, I am not denying the quality of the bucket just the ridiculously stupid price. They literally had a link for similar buckets that were a ⅓ the price. I'll edit this comment if I find the link or just Google similar yeti buckets and it'll pop right up.
Sherborg makes a similar bucket for half the price , I prefer the yeti though .sometimes a name is worth paying for , I pay 250$ for rayban sunglasses , i pay 400$ for benchmade knives , i like the best and the brand names
Pricing should never be done on a cost plus margin basis, it should be based on utility. At first I thought $40 for a bucket was a little extreme until I realized I spent over $20 in one summer because my lowe's buckets kept cracking, once just when leaning on it to stand up and once when removing a lid. If my Yeti lasts me two summers I'm ahead of the game.
