YETI Spotlight: Beattie Outdoor Productions
Here at YETI Coolers, it is no secret that we love fishing. Like most of you, we have to work and don’t get to be on the water nearly as much as we would like. When we need a little distraction, we turn to the work of Beattie Outdoor Productions (BOP). Founder R.A. Beattie, along with partner Joey Macomber, creates some of the best fishing footage out there. The cinematography is stunning, and the fish and locations are, well, simply amazing… like make you drool down the front of your shirt.
In 2009, BOP released the compilation DVD Nervous Water, which showcased four films shot across the world, from Texas and North Carolina to Slovenia and Papua New Guinea. It went on to earn the “Best Fishing” prize at the Fly Fishing Film Awards, was an official selection of the Fly Fishing Film Tour and was a smash success in the fly fishing world. Here is the Nervous Water trailer:
This year, BOP comes roaring back with the much-anticipated Off the Grid, which chronicles the pursuit of some very hard to reach, yet very rewarding, fishing places. As R.A. himself states, “The film is about places that are off the beaten path. It is about people that live the fly fishing lifestyle, not to be a name, but because fly fishing is part of their soul. It is about unspoken hatches, unknown fish, and Rivers that will go unnamed.” Although the DVD won’t be released until this summer, you can catch a special cut on this year’s Fly Fishing Film Tour. No doubt this will be another home run for BOP that leaves the rest of us longing for time on the water and tight lines.
On top of all this R.A. and Joey are great guys and friends of YETI Coolers. We are happy to work with inspiring people like them and look forward to more collaboration in the future. Here is a parting shot to give you a little taste of what is in store (YES, that is a beautiful casting platform). Oh yeah… you can stop drooling now.

"Having spent a lifetime using cheap coolers with hinges and fasteners that inevitably break, I'm glad to see that the YETI is built like the proverbial brick outhouse. There are 2 full inches of insulation inside the rotomolded body and lid. Hinges are recessed toavoid knocks, and the lid has a massive, freezer-type seal."

"YETI Coolers are superior ... from the hinges and latches to the tough-as-nails construction. Best of all, they keep everything colder, longer! You can spend less and get a cooler that will fail after a couple years of hard use. Or you can step up to a YETI and own the world's finest cooler that will never let you down."

"I just received my Tundra 65 qt YETI!! I figured it would be built better than the competition, but I dint think it would be THIS STRONG. The handlesand hinges are great, the seal is superb. Hell, its built better than the 'fridge in my home!! We learned a tough lesson in Houston after Hurricane Ike. There's no such thing as too much ice chest. It's a fact, we may not haveanother hurricane for another 10 years...OR we may have a cat 5 NEXT YEAR, either way, I'll be better prepared with this YETI cooler."

"Ya'll build one tough cooler. I have a fishing camp on Big Lake in Hackberry Louisiana. When Hurrican Ike came through, we had 5 ft of water under the camp from the storm surge. I found my YETI a quarter mile away, some 100 yards back in a tallow tree swamp. Other than a few scratches, it cleaned up very well. I am very happy to have it back. Great product!"
