SCOUTING THE ELDRED RIVER VALLEY - FOR FUTURE PARACHUTING - SEPTEMBER 2020

This is an absolutely gorgeous film.

What a beautiful film. While I'm sad about the biological diversity lost through the intense logging, I'm cautiously optimistic that the diversification of revenue streams (vis-a-vis tourism) will be the forest's saving grace.

Wow what a great video, thanks . As a resident of Vancouver Island who gets to stare across at Powell River I understand the anguish of losing that last little bit of Old Growth in your special sanctuary. Please keep up the fight, offer ideas to persuade their thinking, - Dollars an acre of old growth is worth as to years of revenue for tourism, - Amount of C02 an old growth Douglas Fir can consume each year and that whole climate reasoning, just to name a couple. I would think the road in would still be maintained if there was timber further up the valley, or is that the end of the valley?

I really, really appreciate the videos that Arc'teryx have put out. The stories that you tell are always nuanced, and interesting. Thank you for doing what you do.

Quadding?

Well done guys! Gorgeous!!!

Amazing film about an incredible area.

I’m a big fan of Arc’Teryx gear and their videos as well.

Keep logging responsibly. Too much wood equals too high a fire hazard

What's the update on the valley 2 years later?

The part of environmentalism that is under talked about is conservation, and it seems to also be the thing most environmentalists are passion the most about. This documentary is BEAUTIFUL. It shows the side of conservation that us outsiders don't see, and it shows how much it matters to the locals. Thank you for this.

Wonderful film. Great message and lovable places. Well done!

Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 61:11 KJV — "For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Adonay YAHUWAH will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations."

HalleluYAH we are blessed enough to still see and witness the glory of ancient old growth forests and majestic mountains...

Trudeau is the classic example of a globalist who serves the World Economic Forum's technofascist agenda to control everything and every person that moves on this planet and turn it into an economic resource to be exploited by the 0.1%. His only interest in 'nature' or 'climate change' is when it serves the Luciferan agenda of technocontrol. Meanwhile the old growth forests of Canada, along with the fishing grounds and much else that Mother Nature conferred on this beautiful land are still being trashed on his watch.

What a beautiful place! 😍Sadly they are now logging the patch of old growth that is mentioned in this movie.

I live in an area where logging is a huge thing too. Seasons after seasons, I see a more and more aggresive development as well. Kilometers and kilometers of hiking/mtbing trails are destroyed and never restored. I'm not againt logging at all, I just want a different approach of it.

Well it’s 2022, I hope the old growth is safe because I want to make a trip! Pretty new to climbing so it might be a while but damn after I learn everything I need to know that’s my goal

Canadians. Don't be Brazil. Look after your forests. Leave the old growth.

Beautiful!

That people cut these amazing forests down, wherever they are, mystifies me.That a lot of this timber is exported and burnt in "green bio fuel power stations" stupifies me. That the destruction will continue breaks my heart. The human race deserves to die out.

pour salt in their gastanks so they cant log it down

It´s a fucking shame what we do to this planet.

So. After millions of years, loggers and the "economy" REQUIRE that you kill all the trees - or ANY?

Equal destruction of the land is with those bolts that you are drilling into the rock. Leave the land (and rock) alone!

we put a route up there years ago. that is one of the most sacredly beautiful places I've been. Long may it last.

The one thing wrong with Logging today is, it still doesn't include our First Nations input, into how Industrial practices impact on the Environments, with-in their Territories. The NDP has started to address Old Growth logging in BC's First Nation Territories, it is up to local Governments to do the same and respect the last wild lands in the Fraser Valley.

Like she said, the difference between being in an old growth forest, and a second growth one is seriously immense... All this so that I can get paper fliers stuffed into my mailbox every day. What a shame.

More disgusting human vandalism

As a BC resident I was so excited to see this film. I hope the old growth in that area is kept untouched. Amazing to see the pioneering community in Powell River finding and establishing these tremendous routes. Thank you!

I’m trying to find the name of this woman and her husband who passed?

it’s 2022 now…does anyone know what happened with the logging being pushed back? i looked into it online but i couldn’t find any information besides info on climbing the walls.

great, old school

Go back in 20 years and see what those spots look like. Felling dead trees is vital to continued NEW growth. It is a renewable resource, and is being replaced. Silly hippies...

How hard is it to make text just big enough to actually read

Consumer demand gives producers some idea of the publics taste, then once the producers think they have the winning combination they stick too it like glue to maintain high sales,,,,, the issue is that the relationship between consumer and producer is now a feed back loop,,,,, ,its forcing things to remain the same so companies do not need to take the risk of producing new or fresh stuff,,, ,Money and greed are now vastly restricting progress and invention for this reason....humanity has greeded itself into a position of stagnation....FACT

what's the song at the end?

"Walk softly and listen to the wild. Pass the world leaving it better in their wake." Great ending.

Beautiful.

That was great. 10/10. I loved how she couldn't describe the feeling of the old forest other than "vast". The embedded knowledge held by that network above ground and below for hundreds of years. Yea that forest 100% speaks in a way that could only be defined as "vast".

I'm convinced the universe screams at us all but only some have been still and quiet long enough in its embrace to ever open that channel to listen to it.

cool

Do the math. The big mills are gone. Take out 70% of those left, NO MORE! Release their crowns. In 20 years you will see giants in the making ... and in 60 years they will be too big for the head rig of any mill remaining in the world. Don't say that nobody ever told you ... you just refuse to believe it.

so sad.

No more clear cutting! Logging must be selective and according to a long term Forest plan which manages for diversity, wildlife and water retention and quality.

If we rescued all of the plastic bottles in landfills then made 2x4s…we could leave the beautiful forest alone. 🫶🏻

Light on climbing, heavy on propaganda

Omg that music made my head and heart want to die, it's horrible.

The company is currently a subsidiary of Chinese sportwear company Anta.

It´s 2022! Is there anything we can do to help preserve the old forest?
