As Luke Grimes told The Hollywood Reporter, cowboy camp “sort of evolved over the years.” Grimes told Associated Press the first year it was “a mule-packing trip. So we were on horseback, we went like 20 miles into the wilderness, and cooked our own food, rode around all day, with shotguns […] it was goofy […] it was like ‘City Slickers.'” While on their four-day mule-packing trip, the cast learned to rope cattle, wrangle, and shoot.
Wes Bentley, who plays Jamie Dutton, elaborated, telling AP a humorous story about the actor’s attempts to gather firewood, and how one real cowboy cut down a tree, effectively putting a stop to their meager efforts. Bentley obviously enjoyed spending time in nature for four days and getting away from technology, especially cell service, telling Paramount, “Cowboy camp was incredible!”
Cole Hauser found cowboy camp useful in helping to create his character because he used the time to “pick the brains of real cowboys, guys that know what they’re doing” and glean insights from those conversations. Dave Annable, who plays Lee Dutton in “Yellowstone, told Paramount, “It was incredible, we were out there in the elements.” Jefferson White, who plays Jimmy Hurdstrom, talked about the physicality of the role, telling Paramount, “It’s an amazing gift as an actor to have physical things to respond to.”
