Have you checked out YETI’s Presents? Their Western reads and films make you feel “built for the wild!” YETI’s intention for their tales? To share the passions and lifestyles of others.
YETI says:
Maybe we aren’t all anglers, or cowboys or pro snowboarders. Most of us will never paddle the open Pacific Ocean, or grapple with the responsibilities of being a parent and a Sherpa. But we can all understand strife, loss, drive, family, accomplishment in the face of doubt, and pursuing what makes us feel alive. These short films are those stories, our stories. This is YETI Presents.
