Yeah I really recommend the documentary 180° South [1] which has both Yvon Chouinard (Patagonia) and Doug Tompkins (The North Face) and has them talking about their philosophy and conservation efforts as well. (A guy retraces a journey these two made in Patagonia back in the 60s.)

To go along with that recommendation, I'd add Chouinard's book:

Watch the original ... 180 South was based on ... Mountain of Storms:

This is great, thanks! I was wondering where the guy who made the other documentary got the old footage.
The youtube video is unfortunately unavailable in my country (USA).
