The pandemic inspired many a person to get outdoors more and we were no exception . . . and more adventures also meant more gear, right? For us, Yeti proved to be the answer to our outdoor needs as we traversed from the Mojave desert of Nevada all the way to beaches of Oregon. Thus began our #eckyetilife journey!





















COLD BEVEAGES
Probably best known for their insulated containers, Yeti delivered ice cold beverages in the desert and the mountains. Cocktails on the beach, thermoses on long treks, and hot tea all day at work, we sure got our use out of these lovelies!



























OUTDOOR FOOD
The big surprise for me was all the enjoyment we got out of the Yeti coolers and insulated bags! Even a trip through Oregon’s high desert to the top of Glass Butte for a bit of over the fire cooking didn’t faze their amazing chill capacity. The shoulder bag hosted the makings of a beach-side charcuterie board sourced from Provisions. And while the Tundra and stainless steel coolers kept us well-supplied on camping trips, the Water Cooler allowed us to carry the McKenzie River with us where ever we traveled.





















HOODIES & HATS
Our Yeti hats traveled in the Jeep for an easy grab, rain or shine. The hats sometimes doubled as baskets when our foraging treasures were too much for our hands to carry . . . namely cool rocks and Oregon morels😉 And, yes, we got ‘his and hers’ hoodies in both green and red;) These comfy, all-season sweatshirts layered perfectly on cold beach days but were all you’d need on brisk spring or fall day.






























JUST SITTING AROUND
But let’s not forget the Yeti chairs and blankets! We got both the camp chair and shorter base camp chair. While both sets were amazingly comfortable, the camp chair was our first choice for traveling with the easy carrying bags. Be careful with campfires! They’re not fire proof and sparks will make a small hole in the comfy FlexGrid Fabric seats.
And the waterproof Yeti lowlands blanket? Perfect for the beach or the mountains!







All in all, it was an amazing year of Eck Family Adventures and some very cool Yeti gear:)
