YETI Presents | Grandpa Gordon

Gordon Eastman made a name for himself the hard way, scratching it out of the mountains while exploring, hunting, surviving, and ultimately filming the wild north. Fifty years later, Guy is retracing his Grandpa Gordon’s steps in the same mountains in pursuit of a Dall sheep. He’s driven by the Eastman spirit still alive in those mountains and pulled every step of the way by the will to live up to his grandfather’s legacy.

When I was young....a longtime ago i saw his file High Wild and Free and a local theater . It was a major reason that I fell in love with the outdoors and hunting.

Renting his videos when i was a kid and istening to Gordon's voice, watching them over and over was the best baby sitter I ever had. Love those old VHS tapes. Gordon Eastman, outdoor legend!

[randysandberg]

Gordon is/was my hero! His videos inspired me and I am forever grateful.

What an honor and privilege to have a wild and free father and grandpa like that !!! That was an amazing glimpse back in time and reflection of the future ! Really appreciate that film truly touched by all these generations that keep IT alive in all of us !! Thank You !

Gordan Eastman's filming romanced the northwest territory in a way that all outdoor enthusiasts yearn for an experience to appreciate Gods creation and bounty. A view through his camera lenses built the apex of outdoor film. I cant imagine the beauty he experienced or the toughness it took to live his life of being an adventurer.

Thank you YETI for posting this. Beautiful story and shots

[ralphmccoy]

I’ve been following your films since they started, and they are still the best short films on the outdoors of any I have found. These inspire me to continue to appreciate the outdoors as well as find ways to display its beauty to others.

YETI does it again. Stunning. What a story.

Just saw "High Wild and Free" which lead me here. What an amazing life. Being a kid from the burbs growing up in the 70'-80's (and still) I would reminisce, while looking at the old B&W photos my Grand Parents had taken on hunting and fishing trips, imagining I may one day get to live that way... But just not in the cards, Work, School more work. Lived vicariously through books and films. Lucky enough to get to go to a "club" now and then to can hunt pheasants, quail, chuker, or an occasional deer at a friends place that's no longer with us. To "live" that life. Man oh Man...

This is spectacular-thanks so much for sharing it with us...

Mike helped me with some questions on antelope hunting before his book on the subject came out, then followed up with me afterwards. I used his help and the book to plan and execute a once in a lifetime “antelope safari” with my father. We had a great hunt, took two wonderful pronghorn bucks, and Mike even used one of my photos in a testimonial for his book in Eastmans’ Holiday Gift Guide that year. I’ll never forget his generosity with his advice, and the memories it helped me make with my father. That hunt ended up being my last antelope hunt with my dad, who died four years later. I feel indebited to the Eastman family, and though I never met Gordon, his and their story in this film brought a flood of emotions back about that hunt with my father now thirteen years ago. Thanks Mike, and everyone at Eastmans, and Yeti for this film!
