This is the third installment in our series of videos for Return to the Outdoors, sponsored by Timex.
My favorite part of this video is Chouinard’s quip about sleeping bags. “There were years and years and years when I spent 250 days in a sleeping bag, probably.” Now there’s something to aspire to. Especially when you go on to found Chouinard Equipment, Patagonia, One Percent for the Planet, write a book or two, and help preserve huge swaths of South America’s Patagonia.
Chouinard is a hero, pure and simple.
The music in Yvon’s segment is by The Jason Spooner Trio. The introductory music is by Lucas Reynolds.
Somebody really needs to write this guy’s biography. He’s been one of my biggest heroes for many, many years.
Just a terrific segment! I have read and learned much from excerpts of his LET MY PEOPLE GO SURFING book and agree with the “hero” status. Nice job.
