PATAGONIA 8K from Martin Heck | Timestorm Films on Vimeo.
Patagonia 8K explores the beautiful and rough landscapes of southern Chile and Argentina. Shot in 8K resolution on a medium format camera it’s aimed to deliver the most realistic experience.
Shot in 6 weeks, travelling over 7500km from Santiago to Punta Arenas we captured roughly 100.000 still frames that combine into this timelapse video.
How I built This with Guy Raz interviews Yvon Chouinard from Patagonia
In 1973, Yvon Chouinard started Patagonia to make climbing gear he couldn’t find elsewhere. Over decades of growth, he has implemented a unique philosophy about business, leadership and profit.
Of course my favorite part is his explanation of fishing “one fly”, and how focusing and using his knowledge he caught more fish than he ever has. He explains that one of the hardest things to do is to simplify your life.
I’m honored to have Patagonia Flyfishing post an image on their Instagram account , thank you Larry and Paul for letting me take a minute and play as we floated a Michigan trout stream this fall.
Patagonia Great Divider III
Time for a new boat bag and the Patagonia Great Divider was my choice after looking at the many options out there, it was a few simple things that sold me on the Patagonia bag. First the 100% waterproof and fully-welded construction. I found with my old bag, that I would forget about the rain fly, and by the time I remember it was too late and my bag and the inside was soaked, leaders and flies now wet. This is not good. Problem solved now, as the Great Divider gear bag. I also can’t tell you how many times rain flies turn into moldy rain flies if you don’t dry them out and store them correct. Secondly the keep it simple lay out. I don’t like search through endless pockets. With a 4 panel divider system is’t nice to keep fly boxes separate from tippet. But I can see everything in the bag at once and I know where it will be.
Thirdly the transparent floating panel with hook-and-loop attachments and removable end pockets help organize small items. Great place for car keys and cell phones. Easy to find and protected.
I have had the privilege of spending many days with women anglers and the topic of clothing and waders does randomly come up. With limited opportunities within the fly fishing industry women did not have many choices. Women will be happy to hear there is going to be another company interested in their needs as anglers. Patagonia launch’s a women’s line of fly fishing apparel. Nice work Patagonia!
Patagonia’s das pants have been a staple of my winter steelhead gear for the past 3 years, anytime when temperatures plummet into the 30’s, 20’s, and or are your crazy your going fishing range. The das pants from Patagonia is one of my first layers I put on. I can still remember the first day I wore a pair of these pants, felt like I was in a warm down based sleeping bag all day. I love the feel of the pant, it’s more of a relax feel than a tight based under layer. No yoga lulu lemon feel. More like a cozy pair of sweatpants. The das pants are easy to wear under waders or bibs. Plenty of room in the legs and crotch area to move, climb over boat gunnels and jump onto shore. The nylon shell is a great windproof layer, and is treated to be very water repellent. Durability just like every other item I own from Patagonia is top notch, 3 years equals about 300 days of use. Not a problem yet. Also feel comfortable in these pants after a long day of fishing to wear them into the local watering hole for a little warm-up juice if I so desire.
My only con with the Patagonia das pants is that they can be “too” warm. I have to watch the high temperature of the day. If the temps are going to reach middle or upper 40’s, I could be too warm. I have to adjust my layering and bring my backup pair of pants to change out. Also if I’m going to do a long walk let’s say on the little manistee for a day of coho and or early winter steelhead, I’m going to be too warm too. I’ll end up sweating underneath the layer, the PU coated nylon will hold in my heat too much and I’ll end up having puddles of moisture. But in the same sense if know I’m spending a day in the drift boat or sled, where I’m sitting more than I’m walking these pants are amazing.

Film is about 27 minutes long, this email below I received from Patagonia and thought I would share.
Worn Wear is an exploration of quality – in the things we own and the lives we live. This short film takes you to an off-the-grid surf camp in Baja, Mexico; a family’s maple syrup harvest in Contoocook, Vermont; an organic farm in Ojai, California; and into the lives of a champion skier, a National Geographic photographer, and a legendary alpinist. It also features exclusive interviews with Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard.
Released as an antidote to the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping frenzy, Worn Wear is an invitation to celebrate the stuff you already own.
