Episode 3 - Simon Temple on The Great Outdoors: A Playground to Steward & Respect

 

Simon Temple - On a career in extreme environments and surviving the un-survivable, on the weird and unorthodox ways of navigating out at sea, on how the mountains ground you through the senses they stimulate, the perspective that these extreme environments bring and how it disconnects you from the trivialities of the modern world.

 
 

Simon Temple: The Great Outdoors - a playground to steward and respect

Sailor, surfer, free diver, spear-fisherman lover of the Great Outdoors, avalanche survivor among many other adventures, Simon Temple embodies adventure in the wild at its best. With more than 17 years under his belt as a freelance cameraman/ cinematographer, Simon started his career in Outdoor Recreation, later training under IFMGA to become a heli-ski guide working in Canada, Alaska, New Zealand and Austria. While working out of Queenstown New Zealand, he found work on Vertical limits, and Lord of the Rings, launching his career in the film industry.
