Best Backpacking & Camping Stoves
Rambler Tumbler with Lid. We over-engineered these double-wall insulated tumblers with an 18/8 stainless steel body, which means your drink still keeps its temperature no matter how much of a beating this cup takes.

"We have bought a few of these from Academy as gifts and my wife owns one (you can tell who make the BIG bucks in our house). I started looking for a tumbler because the one I was using at work was pretty beat up but I didn’t want to send $30 for one (yes I’m cheap). I did some research and by the time I got my Amazon Yeti I was armed with this information. I tried to label the pics: fake on the left in red, real on the right in green. 4) HEIGHT – The fake one is about 1/8” taller. 5) UNDER – The 2 tumblers have the “Design in in Austin…” sentence but the numbers after “China” are different. There is a difference in weight, I think the real Yetis are a bit heavier (also got this info from a YouTube video). If you are paying anything under $30 and/or if the cup is being shipped directly for China, chances it is a fake. My advice (if you want a real Yeti) buy one directly from Yeti, REI, Academy, Dick’s, Cabela’s, ACE Hardware…. At the end I did spend $30: I bought 3 Ozark Trails (look up Yeti vs Ozark Trail in YouTube) from the local Wally-Mart: two 20oz tumblers and one 30oz tumbler."
"Bigfoot isn't real... and neither is this YETI."
"This is a fake YETI."
"I originally purchased one from REI and noticed that the two I recently ordered from Amazon did not look or feel right."
"The image pictured has a YETI lid."
"The lid has started to crack after 3 weeks."
"Counterfeit items!!!"
The Load-and-Lock Gasket secures your drink in place while the Colster’s double-wall vacuum insulation keeps your beer or soda frosty longer. It's designed to go on strong, and we think it's pretty good looking to boot, making it perfect for our stainless steel drinking vessels. It won't fade, peel, or crack through extended field use, and our DuraCoat Color provides additional grip to the Rambler's exterior. The YETI Colster is like a stainless steel bear hug (or can cooler) for your sodas or longnecks.

After the 30 minute mark, it's come up a few degrees, but also at less volume and a significant decline in carbonization I didn't expect a perfect sip. After 40+ minutes, after I realize I've totally lost my beer, forgot about it, or it just grew legs, once I locate it I have more than enough chill left inside this steel silo of suds sanctuary that I can quaff back the remaining dead soldier and not feel like I'm chuggin Moose piss. I prefer my brews to linger in the low 40s for hop monsters to really unleash a tongue scorching lupulin kick with a fragrant how-do-you-do and high 40s for malt forward midnight oil stouts and porters. I even have two beer fridges with digital temp sensors (well, three, but that's all homebrew in kegs) to dial in my sweet spots. With its wide base and low center of gravity, your chances of sitting in a puddle of pilsner are greatly decreased. But go ahead and wear your dings and dents, bruises show character and signs of heavy trusted use. When wet and sweaty (from condensation, not your brow, but maybe hit the gym this week anyway) most bottles simply slide in and out without spinning the ring off. While on the subject, glass bottles can typically be recycled and reused once, whereas aluminum has a nearly infinite reusable ability. Which makes in a multi use item so now you can justify not shaving every ounce from your pack, and you just talked yourself into bringing a few IPAs for day 3 of your next journey, when your feet will be screaming but you just don't care."
"Keep the mock beer can that comes with the koozie."
"My only piece of advice."
"COunterfit Yeti received."
"The brown background is solid on the fake label, but looks like dirt on the genuine label."
"They were $21/Yeti Colster when I bought them, now the price has dropped down to $17/Yeti Colster because they are trying to unload them all as quickly as possible."
"The product from Wholesale cup does not have a serial number etched into the bottom. It also does not say "Designed in Austin, TX Made in China" followed by the serial number."
"The product we received is not the same as pictured."
Double wall, vacuum insulated, rugged, steel design is the ultimate in durability. Two lids in the cup make it easy to share coffee that will stay hot all day long. Vacuum insulation keeps drinks hot 24 hours, cold 24 hours or iced 120 hours.

"Wish the cup weren't plastic inside, same for the spout."
"Because It arrived with double size box.. Doesnt matter. And I used the the bottle in coldest and trekking mood conditions for 8 hours(because water was over)."
"Probably be a nice road trip companion stashed in a tote, too."
"This keeps stuff warm for longer than 24 hours."
"Hubby was lugging the larger version daily to work so when I saw this size I couldn't click buy fast enough!!"
"Got it for my husband for Christmas."
"I got one for me and one for my husband since we are heavy coffee drinkers and like to take some with us to work."

"I tried it out at home before putting it in our camper to see how it would cook and it cooks great!! We have a Holland grill that we use at home but this grill is so much better in my opinion because of all the different things I can cook on it."
"Incredible... Bought it for camping (French toast, burgers, bacon, etc...) but have only used it at home on the porch so far (French toast, burgers, bacon...)."
"The griddle is made of the same heavy duty steel as the bigger Blackstone griddles you see at Lowe's or Home Depot and on some YouTube videos. I keep mine ready to go at all times-under the griddle you can fit everything you need-I keep a knife, spatula, small tongs, 2 full propane tanks, salt , pepper, the regulator, a cutting board and even paper plates and napkins- it's that roomy!"
"Awesome cooking made simple and clean up ."
"The grill cleaned up so easy, i scraped the food particles off with my Onlyfire Scraper and Spatula, scratching the non skid finish."
"Arrived just in time for our big wall tent setup for this year's Elk hunting camp. was able to cook multiple things at once instead of cook something in a pan...then set it aside so it could get cold...then cook something else....etc."
"We did order the carrying case and cover as an afterthought and would recommend that if you are traveling or storing it."
