This is one event that we truly look forward
to attending each year because the Yamaha crew
really goes out of their way to make it a fun
experience, and 2012 was no different as they
arranged some for special guest to attend along
with some fun activities and great food for
our two day adventure out in Glamis, and we
were very pleased to see the Camp Chef crew
return to provide an array of delicious camping-inspired
cuisine.

We
arrived in Glamis on Tuesday morning,
and once again Camp-N-Style rentals provided
us with Weekend Warrior campers for our
two night stay |
This was the second year for the Camp Chef
crew to be a part of the Yamaha SE press event,
and we couldn’t have been happier because
we knew we were in store for some great food
that was cooked on their exceptional outdoor
cooking gear. Camp Chef makes an incredibly
wide line of outdoor cooking equipment, including
grills, gas ovens, Dutch ovens and smokers to
name a few. Their cooking gear is designed to
be portable, yet built to last, which makes
it perfect for taking camping, and Camp Chef’s
Steve McGrath and Matt Anderson treated us to
some delicious meals.

Camp
Chef offers a complete line of propane
outdoor cooking gear with some for everyone
as their product line continues to expand.
For 2012, Camp Chef brought their Yukon
60 Grill & Big Gas Grill III along
with an Outdoor Camp Oven to serve everyone
some incredible meals. For more details,

The Camp Chef crew also hosted a horse shoe
tournament on our first night out in the dunes
with an 18” Camp Chef smoke vault up for
grabs, and we are excited to announce that ATVRiders.com’s
own Harlen Foley won the tournament, and he
can’t wait to use the smoke vault once
it arrives back home in Maryland.
We were also joined by the Go Pro guys who
were demonstrating their new HD Hero 2 cameras.
Released in November, the HD Hero 2 offers plenty
of cool features, but the new 11mega-pixel camera
option and 60 frames per second video in 720P
mode option really captured our attention, so
we were eager to put the Hero 2 to the test
on our ride, and we were pleasantly pleased
with the image quality produced by such a small
portable camera.

Also, Go Pro announced they are developing
a Wi-Fi BacPac to view the photos and videos
on your smart phone while out riding, so you
can quickly check out your video footage or
images and even share them with friends online
before even leaving the trail, which is awesome.
