    Damn they haven't shipped any?? Ponzi schemes don't really work with a product based company so unless they just suck, you are being jacked of your cash.

    Crazy that they are taking that long with that much capital and haven't shipped any.

    It's a Ponzi scheme if they took 13MM up front from backers and used it to produce goods to be sold to others like Amazon and new customers and leave the previous investors hanging.

    Oh see I didn't know they had sold any. I thought they just kept all the cash. If they are selling some on Amazon then they probably just suck at running a business.

    Yeah that's the really odd thing. If you read the reports and the Kickstarter page it's all over the place. I clicked on Amazon and they look to be in stock for $499 yet the original backers still haven't gotten theirs. Amazing!

    I'm sure there is a need for a cooler that will keep food cold for 14 days but damn. The only time I can see using one that big is for rafting trips where you freeze everything solid in it and don't open until day 14.

    supposedly yeti is the king of coolers so I haven't tried others. I would have just bought a pelican cooler for a cheaper price, the 2nd yeti I got (first was stolen) was a gift or that's what I would have done.

    @DefconBrix Now that you've had the Safari Snorkel for a bit, how has it done in the snow? Living in the same region, I'm wondering if I would have problems with snow getting into the intake with overnight snowfall or driving in storms,.
