YETI: Falling Off the Edge of the Map in Samoa

Three months after the project was shot, I’m thrilled to see this piece go live with YETI. The trip to Samoa was… interesting, but we made the most of tough circumstances. Huge shout out to Jonathan, who explored the island with me, and to the folks at YETI for being willing to run a story that’s “less than glamorous”. The truth is, a lot of time in the field is uncomfortable. It’s hot, tiring, sweaty, dirty, long hours with not a lot of sleep. It’s hauling heavy gear miles and miles, and swimming in waters you’re not quite sure about. Sometimes, it’s not really fun. That’s the side — the reality — that’s not told very much. Kudos to the folks at YETI for not being afraid to tell it as it is.
