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.

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!

I also grew up renting the VHS tapes. Can’t imagine how many times I watched the Phantom Ram. This short video brings back some early memories
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.
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!
Very neat to see old timers like Stan Burrell and Clarence “Cougar” Long in this video, been hearing of those legends my whole life!
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.
Wow! Another wonderful story of the early days in the Canadian wilderness. Exceptional footage and editing! 🇨🇦👌🏻👌🏻
Beautiful! Just simply beautiful.
Hands down my favorite Yeti film yet! Amazing job by all involved
@YETI this film series is exceptional!
Gordon is/was my hero! His videos inspired me and I am forever grateful.
Since I was old enough to understand my pops always spoke of Gordon Eastman and Stan Burrell. Mr. Eastman and Mr. Burrell are absolute LEGENDS..... I wish they would show these types of films in public schools today to keep the Outdoor Culture alive...
"High, Wild and Free" changed my life
Love it, brings back the feeling watching Gordons films in the 90s.
What a special film.
Amazing film!!!! Life is an adventure...get out and enjoy it!!! Well done YETI.....Well Done.
Fortunate enough to know Guy and Ike, great people with an AMAZING legacy. Great film!
Great film. Thank you.
Thank you YETI for posting this. Beautiful story and shots
Watching this while I’m hunting right now is surreal. This message rings true! 🥲
Very nice film. It helps answer the question that all hunters get asked every year. WHY DO WE HUNT. This says it all. It's not for the money it's because we care.
Wow! Outstanding video.
YETI does it again. Stunning. What a story.
This is spectacular-thanks so much for sharing it with us...
Such beautiful country to see! People today don’t care and rather sit all day watching videos and TikToks 😢
Best documentary ever ❤️🏞
I heard the crack of the shot, the travel of the bullet, and then the hard stop and said" that's a hit. "Then I got teary-eyed. Great documentary.
Keep these coming!!!
Wow. Well done Ben Knight!
Wow! Just wow...
Wonderful. Please keep making this beautiful, educational, fascinating content. I loved watching his films in the 1980s and I’m really enjoying this one too!
What a beautiful story! You got to do what you love to do in order to fulfill you dream (happiness) God bless!
Incredible film.
Beautiful film.
Phenomenal way to tell this story.
WOW! What a story! Incredible piece.🥲
Just got my Panga 28 today! The best !!
Yeti never fails to hit the nail on the head.
so much beauty, sad that man makes the focus the death of a strong amazing creature.
That was incredible!
Another great video!
that was pretty special
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.
Those are the memories that will last a lifetime❤😎
Great film! you guys told an amazing story! Hunting can be a controversial topic but you document it with a lot of sensibility. So well done!
Gordon ranks right up there with Fred Bear.
Well I didn’t expect this to hit me as hard as it did. Lots of parallels to my relationship with my own father. But here I am, tears running through my beard. Excellent film and story. TY
Amazing storytelling!
You earned a subscriber

Where's the other brothers?
Dont confuse iiisssh. GORDON CARTER IS NOT CW. CW KILLED GORDON. GET THAT STRAIGHT.
Sounds like he was selfish father according to his son and grandsons. Narcissist.
