In the very beginning, Doug and I were living in the middle of this paradise, and we said it would be incredible to save this place, just save it. Doug and Chris, you would see them together, and it was like teenage kids; he was very charming. I thought, "That's the man I was supposed to marry."

It was scandalous. These were the original DIR EG climbers and surfers and skiers who went on to create the outdoor clothing business as we know it. And then there was the [Music] change; on any scorecard, nature is losing. They saw nature being destroyed, and if we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves.

The ultimate do-it-yourself approach to saving the Earth: buying it. We started to realize it was possible to create a national park, with the idea that we would donate it back to the country. They’re going, "Come on, nobody does that!"

I desire to preserve this place; I think that is as strong a bond as any two people can have. And then the worst thing that could happen to me happened: Douglas Tomkins died Tuesday in an accident in Chile. [Music]

I was on my knees. This audacious vision of [Music] Doug's was like a life raft for me. We need to finish up these parks; it's now or never. It was so unlikely that you could pull that off. She became more and more fierce. [Music]

I asked myself, "How can I come this far without you?" But then I remembered, you've been here all along. Look, look, look, look, look; Doug would be so happy. They defined an entire way of life. Look at this incredible wildness as far as you can see.

Before I died, I wanted this life, something wild.
