Luke Grimes Reveals His Essential Gear While Filming 'Marshals'
The 2026 Yellowstone renaissance is in full swing. As Dutton Ranch gallops toward its May 15 premiere, Luke Grimes is carrying the flame as Kayce Dutton in the hit CBS series Marshals. Like its parent series, Marshals takes place in Montana, but films in Summit County, Utah, and the Park City, Utah area, which brings the series back to the roots of the first show. And like a lot of Taylor Sheridan-inspired shows, the beauty of open vistas and a lot of nature is part of what makes the show so appealing. Grimes agrees, telling Men's Journal that he thinks the popularity of the Yellowstone brand is all about escaping back into nature: "I think in this world where we're sort of inundated with technology and screens and cubicles, the natural that, the real natural world, that nature has become the novelty."
That said, even a cowboy needs some gear out in the wild. Speaking to Men's Journal for our Spring 2026 Gear Issue, Luke Grimes revealed a few pieces of essential gear that keep him going while filming.

GADGETS
One thing I probably couldn’t live without while filming Marshals was a Starlink Mini. I don’t have cell service there [in Utah] and I have family and emails and things to keep up with. So that Starlink Mini saved my life, honestly. And, I love reading; I always carry my Kindle with me pretty much everywhere I go.
BOOKS
I’m trying to read novels that are known to also have the best film adaptations. Two incredible books that are at the top of their class are Silence of the Lambs and The Godfather. If anyone wants to really experience those stories and then watch the movies, both are just incredible.
APPAREL
I live in Montana on 25 acres, and I'm constantly outside doing stuff around the property, but I also travel a lot, and I also am in cities a lot, so I need a good pair of boots. Most recently, I’ve got these OTB All-Tactical boots. It’s a six-inch carbon boot. I can go outside and work around the house, or I can go to the airport or go to dinner. It’s the Swiss army knife of boots.
WHISKEY
I love High West Whiskey. I do work with them now, and I did a campaign with them. But I did that campaign because I was already a big fan. When we filmed Yellowstone in Park City, Utah, starting in 2017, I would always go to their saloon, and I just love it. They probably have seven or eight different mainstay whiskeys and a bunch of rotating seasonal ones, and they're all just fantastic.
