Yeah, I read this on Backpacker this morning. The man died outside doing something he loved after living a long successful life. What more can you really ask for?

That's like saying Timothy Treadwell died doing what he loved when he was eaten alive by a grizzly bear

>>643694
Difference being, Timothy Treadwell was a fucking retard.

Chris mccandless died doing something he loved

Sad news. I met him once after he gave a talk. Seemed like a nice guy and definitely loved going out.

Diffrence being Chris McCandless was a edgy hippie faggot

Jason Dahl died doing something he loved

>>643690
Guy bought almost a million hectares and turned them into national parks. I respect that.

>>643690
Pretty ironic that he died while going /out/ and 90% of TNF customers never leave the city.

>>643923
> almost

I almost respect that. Ftfy.

>>643906
damn you got me

He could have lived longer, of course.

Ain't that the truth bro, that's why I don't even buy NF products, it's like labeling yourself as an urban hipster faggot who's left the city for that day thinking NF is the best you can get.

>>643690
that's the old bad-guy from "12 Monkeys" the series

>>643693
Drowning?

>>644111
No, hypothermia on the way to the hospital

Should have got himself one of those nice North Face jackets. That would have kept him warm.

I watched 180 Degrees South a few years back and was really impressed by the guy. Yeah, many of his company's customers essentially wipe their asses with what the gear is meant for, but a hell of a lot of that money went to a pretty awesome cause. And he seemed like a super-cool dude. Hell of a climber when he was younger.

>The founder of North Face died in Patagonia

...I smell foul play

My father died doing what he loved...

Being alive

Does anyone know Yvon Chouinard's current whereabouts?

>>644371
>underrated post

>>644698
He's on the hospital. Seems he got to get away from water before being rescued. (And leaving old Dougie to die alone)

This is almost as ironic as the inventor of Segway losing control of one and going balls first off a damn cliff.......

>>643759
He loved dieting?

Great article about Tompkins in The Atlantic about a year ago:

Jesus christ. Either the product works or it doesn't. That's all I need to know before I use it.

>>644873
That was toppest of keks.

Carl McCunn died doing something he loved.

And he could have been rescued too but dun goofed.

>>644019
who cares?
>>644077
who cares what people buy and how they use it? better to be perceived as an urban hipster faggot than to actually be a hipster faggot. (i'm implying you are)

>>643690
>North Face founder dies in kayak accident
wow, talk about brand commitment!
