An ode to wilderness and living simply. Writer, fly fisherman, surfer, musician and traveller Riverhorse Nakadate’s new film, in partnership with Patagonia and directed by Tony Czech, reflects on the deep roots we have to Mother Nature, and why it’s important to embrace this origin, rather than destroy it. This is The Reindeer Journals.

“This film is an ode to friendship and simple living, running wild along rivers and in the Arctic Circle. And the fish, pike, salmon, grayling, and wild trout for miles.”

“There is a philosophy there called Allemansratten which simply means, we have the right to roam, that everyone shall have access to nature and wilderness, rivers, and oceans. You can climb mountains, pick mushrooms, throw down a bedroll and a tent, swim in stunningly clear lakes, fish, navel gaze the true meaning of life, and ramble to your heart’s content, as long as you are respectful and loving to the earth and others. Amen to that.
