Video of the Week: Yellowstone River

/ August 23rd, 2018

A friend of mine once said that overlanding is driving to remote destinations to cook good food, and to an extent, he’s right. Many of us share a passion for cooking as well as camping, and although I’m far from a gourmet chef, I do enjoy a good meal cooked on the fire. Flame-broiled hot dogs are gourmet, right? Despite my limited culinary prowess, I found this video to be inspiring. It follows Eduardo Garcia and his friend Range Perera as they fish the banks of the Yellowstone River and cook one heck of a meal from ingredients they picked up along the way, minus the whiskey sours.

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Chris didn’t receive a real taste of the outdoors until moving to Prescott, Arizona, in 2009. While working on his business degree, he learned to fly and spent his weekends exploring the Arizona desert and high country. It was there that he fell in love with backcountry travel and four-wheel drive vehicles, eventually leading him to Overland Journal and Expedition Portal. After several years of honing his skills in writing, photography, and off-road driving, Chris now works for the company full time as Expedition Portal's Senior Editor while living full-time on the road.

    Wow! What a beautiful and thoughtful video. I live 90 miles from the places I recognized in the video and I haven’t cooked over a fire in weeks. A timely reminder to get out there. Thanks for posting this.
