Today’s edition of Wednesday Wanderlust digs out on of my favorites from the vault. A short film by Gnarly Bay and Forest Woodward about fathers, sons, rivers, and adventure.

“The Important Places” is captures the wildness of a mans life with an incredible sweetness. It’s a video I watch often, to remind me to appreciate the slow march of time, my father, and challenging yourself in the space of nature.

Enjoy!
