The North Face Warranty - Front Runner Jerry Can Update

I had a great result after sending my 20 year old backpack off to The North Face for a warranty claim. In this video we'll cover how I filled out the form and what else I did to get the $180 gift certificate for sending in a 20 year old pack. We'll also take another look at those Front Runner Jerry Cans that I couldn't get to stop leaking while delivering a bunch of bad jokes and lightly repackaged internet memes. Enjoy!

Great info! Going to have to check my Frontrunner water can ASAP. I used it twice last fall, all was good but never did the leak test on its side or check the threads.

[@WastingTimeInTheWoods]

I just saw a poor review of the IronMan 4x4 version of the same can - Complaint, course threads made it leak from the cap constantly. Must be a widespread problem from the manufacturer. Front Runner was great to me though. They just need to take the manufacturer to task.

My dad has had the same north face tent for most of his life and barely any part of it is original, all free replacements done over decades

[@willees6958]

had two of by kids backpacks fail. The water bottle pockets/nets of the Recon failed and ripped after roughly 6-9 month. The North Face, after ~5wks, sent me a letter saying that this is Normal wear and tear and not covered under warranty. We paid more for the backpacks hoping that we get a Quality product and that it would last longer; unfortunately that was not the case. Actually some of the Backpacks from Lands Ends lasted my daughters all through Highschool. No more North Face for me if they can’t stand behind the product.

Great update. Good to hear those top companies are supporting their products. The frontrunner thing is a bit ridiculous.

[@WastingTimeInTheWoods]

Yeah, it was surprising how quick they sent it back too. Thanks for watching!

[@jamiestrosahl6826]

Did they send the original backpack back to you?

[@WastingTimeInTheWoods]

Nope. Just the gift cert.

Sounds great after COVID! Connect with me on FB and shoot me some pics of your truck. I'm trying to get a FB page set-up for the channel but I'm once again co-officing with a 5 year old so... Things are moving slower. I hang around iH8tmud too. Just search "Idiot YouTubber" and you should find me : )

If I email/comment a draft of my message for my warranty claim form, can you proofread and help me make sure it makes sense and makes it clear that I need a repair from them?
