-5 Celsius Hot Tent camping (first experience) (had to bail)

[@rca-in-glasgow6781]

Knowing when to leave a dangerous situation is an under rated survival skill. Good role model. ⭐️

[@roundstone2020]

The highlight of my week, clicking the like button on a Foresty video.

[@whaguitars]

100% One of my favorite channel's on KZbin. I love that he doesn't curse. You can't watch a simple movie review now days without hearing F-bombs.

[@stanbyme7874]

No guilt. No shame. Same.

[@waytimedesign3363]

Same

[@chazman75]

Click on thumb nail, hit like, watch video, rinse and repeat. Never disappointed!!!

[@katlynncok2]

Same here .

[@NancyHanson3472]

I appreciate the fact that you seem to try to purchase products that are manufactured by Canadian companies. I am not Canadian, but I admire you for supporting your fellow countrymen, Foresty!

[@Bn3Collection]

One of the few KZbinrs whose videos I like before watching 😊

[@itsjustderek]

Rocco and her little snowsuit reminds me of that movie a Christmas story when the parents dress up the little brother in his winter coat and he just stiff as a board 😂😂

[@Charlie1776_]

Always good to get a Forresty Forest update.

[@Lemminaide]

It’s a good day when I can stop my mind and take a break with you Foresty.

[@NancyHanson3472]

After you finished blowing up the Ther-ma-rest, Rocko immediately hopped on and it was as if she was saying "Thank you for making me a nice cozy place to curl up and get comfortable." 😊

[@christopherhurley8694]

The Foresty Forest channel is like wine, it gets better with time. It's worth waiting for each adventure.

[@conradcoolerfiend]

i like the realistic analysis of the cons, not just a rosy perfect depiction thats all too common on social media

[@stefins]

Watching Rocco is priceless...

[@ghaliedcassiem3808]

Rocco my man!! Always as lively and happy as a dog can be .

[@expatyankee]

Rocko is a girl 😀

[@jasongoodrich1]

Rocko is a girl, forresty just treats her like a boy so no one will think he's a weirdo out in the middle of no where with a little dog. I believe you forest:)

[@rettesvanlife]

This is one of the many things I like about your channel, you are a safe adventurer, you aren't doing it for clicks and being reckless you are showing others a responsible way to do this. And I adored Rocco 'helping you' set things up but she surely knows when that mattress comes out shes on it!

[@De_Ce]

Thanks for taking us along! It's very good to take safety as high priority. Those tree roots were warning you!

[@mitchsn]

I like how his adventures are real and not staged. Sometimes its perfect, sometimes things dont work out as expected. Its real life and not fake & contrived like most other content creators. Keep doing what you do and how you do it Simon!

[@eddavis1832]

Wow, that really looked like a whole lot of fun! 😳 Smart man! You clearly made the right move pulling up stakes. Crap happens…sorry. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us…stay safe…CHEERS!!! 🍻

[@lovenature1354]

Thanks for the video! We always look forward to each and every one of them. Rocco is so cute. Our dog watches for her as soon as he hears your voice. ❤

[@chelseagirl924]

A New Foresty video - my day is complete.

[@super.zdravko]

"...I'll get crushed and burned at the same time..." WOWZA!!! That's some serious type 2 fun you are having out there FF.

[@MrHappy9354]

As an eastern europen going to sleep next to a cracking stove is one the most relaxing things that I can remember from my childhood.

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

Some of us still live that way.

[@joybeekingston6472]

There you are! I sure was missing Simon. This was a nice video, thank you!

[@blueman5924]

Hard to beat the Home sweet Van home with the glowing cubic mini. 🌲🤙

[@leeleroux9092]

I was just thinking it was time to hear from you. Thank you.❤I started watching on my phone in the car and decided to wait until I got home. I am glad I did. Your adventures are exhilarating Foresty.

[@leonardom.4683]

Nothing better than coming home after a hard day and finding a video of you. Thank you😊

[@BlazerLz]

Exhausting but those are the nights you remember! Still a cool trip. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@cotter9751]

So.... even the forest.... location, location, location! Loved seeing you and Rocko (she looks great in that winter cover-up) hike up, and listening to why you had to relocate and cut short the hot tent first experience.

[@chokenazuma770]

have been waiting for weeks for the new video great job foresty

[@oneil4252]

Thanks for uploading, glad you stayed safe.

[@jeodude]

Rocko + that armor 😂= unstoppable

[@briansavage932]

Rocko is such a great sidekick. She's always gung-ho and ready to tag along with Dad. ❤

[@max-qw6xm]

Hey foresty! I have exactly the same tent, I had to bail on my first time using it because of high winds also! I had a surprise wind storm in Kananaskis that was brutal. I've since gone back out again and its fantastic. As you say, for solo hikers I use it more as a portable mini basecamp instead of a multiday hiking rig. Regarding pegging it out safely - I was taught by an old logger to dig down in the snow, and place the peg flat making a T shape with the tent line as the bottom of the T and the peg laying perpendicular to the tent as the top of the T. Tie/wrap the line around the peg, then bury it. Be warned, this works almost too well and getting your pegs out in the morning can be really tough!

[@wt5626]

Rocko is being so sweet❤

[@BrendaBlystone-u9x]

It's always amazing to see you and Rocko be safe

[@AndyJackson380]

Rocco didn't look too impressed with the whole escapade 😁

[@Sarah-xw2ff]

😆🤣😆🤣

[@bluekatgal7300]

Rocko helping you with the tent. 😂 she is too much fun. Always enjoy your content.

[@dudlydjarbum2045]

Had to bail...you made it to the next morning mission accomplished

[@wandabooth3411]

Such a happy pup you have there, F.F. 🐕🤗. She;s either laying still as a stone or jumping around like a Mexican Jumping Bean with a joyful wag in her tail 😄🐕❤️ Smart of you to break camp.

[@karakoppanyi3845]

Rocco is quite the helper!! I hope he had a good supper too after all that work!

[@62swampboy62]

I've spent a lot of time in the woods and never thought to myself "Hmmm, don't want to get crushed and burned to death tonight, better bail." But that was the right thing to do there, where a situation could have gotten completely out of hand at any time. Nice tent though. Never really considered one for myself, but I'm not in the Canadian Rockies either LOL. Once again, thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to the next one already.

[@Bad_liver]

Greetings from the Netherlands!! Foresty we love you man, keep up the good work. Foresty Forest, he lives in the van 🎶🎵🎼 Foresty Forest Rocko 💌

[@bonniepwtf]

I heard it as I read it.😊

[@Fatolleechflyfishing]

the best time of the week is when a new forestry forest video drops

[@garyanderson9467]

Too bad we have to usually wait two weeks though.

[@madeleinerenteria2870]

Nice camp setup. Great with the stove.

[@fj40bryan]

Good video. I’ve had the same sleepless hot tent nights. I’ve heard trees fall and in bed they always sound close. I’ve also had the ground start smoking and nearly catch fire under the stove. Make sure you remove sticks and pinecones. I now prefer to let it burn out and make a fire in the morning unless I am packing up right away.

[@teslah2997]

Hi, Foresty…..ALWAYS so good to see you and Rocko!

[@VanlifevantoyzAmerica]

Nice to see you back on KZbin again after a couple weeks a.k.a. Simon

[@grosvenorclub]

Here in Australia certain trees are called "widow makers" as in a drought they can drop branches without any warning at all and some large enough to crush a car .

[@MagicianNoriginal]

Rocko is so cute. Thank you Foresty!

[@matthiasbalke9089]

I recommend watching your fellow KZbinr Swedwoods to learn all the ins and outs of winter Bushcraft.

[@jclauri100]

Always fun, FF . . . Thanks for allowing us to live thru you . . . 🎉

[@LaVaqueraMarin]

ONCE AGAIN....the best!!!

[@TXMEDRGR]

I hope you get all the kinks worked out and can use the new equipment this winter. Thanks for sharing.

[@ecothon]

thanks for sharing Forest

[@bevjane7245]

Glad Simon and Rocko continue!

[@Breyes61]

Oh my stars, we are so happy to see you back. Love your new tent with the little wood stove. May God con6to keep you and Rocko safe and happy. God bless you. We live all your videos. We wish we had a way to send you things. We have a special spot in our hearts for you both. Brianne is your 🎄🎄

[@mauricepowers3804]

I'm glad you got out of there in time. I love seeing Rocko playing!❤❤

[@cb6866]

Thanks Simon and Rocko , sorry it didn't work out , shower , rest , be well

[@trailname_ziplock]

Rocco watching you cook and hoping she'll get a bite 😂

[@iamgeoffandthisismystory]

Ahhh! A good Thursday evening treat🤙🏻🇿🇦

[@MasterMalrubius]

Rocco steals the show again! That romper she wears and how she claimed the air mattress the moment you put it down. 🤣 You did good too, Foresty.

[@Moosekeys]

Had a similar moment a few years ago camping under some big oak trees during a storm. Didn't like the way they were blowing so in the middle of the night we hooked up the truck and moved the trailer to a better spot. Went back a few months later and the tree i was worried about had indeed toppled over since then. Felt like I avoided some final destination type results.

[@heykerryann]

My friend invited me along to strike camp a few years ago near Rocky MH. It was my first time in a tent with a stove. We cooked a mini thanksgiving dinner. 10/10 experience 🤗

[@Ssups101]

Poor Rocko, she looked so happy when you broke out the chicken and then crushed when you dropped it into the pad thai.

[@debbieclinard7122]

It is always a true pleasure and enjoyment to watch your adventures Forrest. You are an inspiration to try new experiences and your personality is a joy to behold.

[@ROBinJVILLE]

yesterday i was thinking of foresty and here he is 🙏

[@Dracoool]

Rocco looking Spiffy in her outfit!!

[@dutchymon]

Always scout out the Foresty Forest 🌲🌲

[@susnorth40]

Rocko's coat is perfect ! Good call getting the heck out of there, liked the setup though !😊 Hi Rocko! 🥺🐾🐾❤

[@paulashealthyliving]

your doggie is usually so chill but their delight when out in nature is so cute

[@darrellcaruk8880]

Always trying new things. Good on you

[@davidsixtwo]

I'm impressed that all this gear fits in the van. I live in an apartment and I have a storage unit just for gear and bikes. Related: very few bushcraft guys are brave enough to actually live in a van full time.

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

That was a good little campout. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🐶🔥

[@scottandlora4029]

Sincerely hoping you have a better experience next time! If I'm remembering right, you are usually tenting out in the open unless you're in a shelter like the little cabin you built or the ones you've visited. All that to say maybe there's a comfort level that comes with more time using it. It's new after all and you'd been dreaming of it for a long time, so maybe it'll meet those expectations in the future? I for one love your videos and the way you and rocko share your lives with us.

[@waterst9]

Love THE ROCK's shell.

[@LaNette1]

Hey Foresty forest that was a fun video that little woodstove is definitely nice to have an easy to take in a backpack. Thanks for sharing. I would’ve done the same thing. . You did the right thing. Better to be safe. Thanks for sharing. You guys always make my day be safe and stay warm.🇺🇸♥️🙏👍⛺️🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦

[@minimalist_adventurer]

I use reflectix on my windows for insulation, can even double up on it. Another idea is using a small still to distill water on the wood stove and the radiant heat would be transferred to water and stay warmer 😊

[@SH-uv6cp]

That's a great little kit. Will definitely be a nice addition for you. Good test, You need to know all the pitfalls.

[@SweetiePieTweety]

“It’s 23° in here, which is quite comfortable”…. Words that would NEVER exit my mouth or resonate in my thought process. 😮

[@marshja56]

In case you didn't know: 23 degrees Celsius is 73 degreesFahrenheit. Crazy Canadians and their un-American temperature system...

[@skibrat]

@@marshja56 We joined the rest of the world with celsius instead of Fahrenheit. Sorry, not sorry.

[@NobodyIsPerfectChooseDignity]

Watching from Australia on a 30 degree day! Love watching you and Rocko enjoying yourselves. Another great video foresty

[@little1400]

Excellent effort.

[@doberski6855]

So not the gear, just picked a bad location for your camp, hence the need to bail. Even the most experienced campers have made that error sir! Have not had much experience with hot stoves, but from what I have seen. Most solo campers allow it to burn down before sleeping and depend on their sleeping bags and blankets for warmth. Others set a timer and wake up at regular intervals to feed and monitor the stove during the night. It was a great video Forest, as always thanks for sharing!

[@brucemacdonald1847]

We use to have to carry a 10lb stove when we did our winter camps. That stove You have is a game changer for sure!!! Love Your channel Sir!!! good job!

[@danaldrete9666]

great trial run of the kit, camp chair maybe? fun as always!!!

[@mikefleming8352]

FF Simon, you’re awesome.🇨🇦

[@Hilhub]

Beautiful footage in the beginning! Again, I'm always glad to see you bail in an ify situation. I've dreamed of having one of those hot tents - they do seem cool - but I've only ever seen them in bushcraft vlogs where everything "appears" to go well, but that usually just means it's a sponsorship . I love that you're transparent. :)

[@grim73]

Greetings from the UK! We’ve had a light coating of snow and hit a low -2C over the last few days.We can’t cope 😂

[@3generations393]

That seems like a great thing to have for more than one person. Have a great weekend Simon, Sendin Grandmama love ❌⭕, Iris and Little One 👋🐾

[@georgecorreia5314]

Thank you for the video

[@jeffersonspace]

Watching from Miami. Cool video - thanks!

[@CelebratingOutdoors]

I'd like to complement you on two things if I may - 1) I sincerely appreciate that you don't sugarcoat your experiences. Too many KZbinrs feel that embelishing the real is nessessary, but it comes across as it is, which is inauthentic 2) You realy put some effort into your videography - it shows. And I for one appreciate your work. ~ Peace and Best Wishes to you on your journey

[@Alexkovar-u9m]

👍 up before even watching the video knowing 100% it’s gonna be a banger!

[@larry4762]

Rocko leading the way. The van home sweet home.

[@RadioMan666]

Right on Foresty Forest! 👍👍

[@TheBrandonnnn]

Reminds me of Rirang. She brings a portable wood stove with her on camps sometimes too

[@TheRealJerseyJoe]

Good call !

[@Mr.MidwestNomadFamily]

You nailed the soundtrack on this one!

[@Gafalhadas]

Loved your experience. Do not give up!

[@kevosims2012]

Rocko hard at work clearing snow 😊

[@ludfx4yyc403]

💡👍Brilliant Effort !!

[@SmashPhysical]

Isn't every hike a learning experience of some kind? Glad things didn't go sideways for you on this one FF.

[@joeblow5037]

Used to work on Marine F-4J Phantoms. The whole assend is made out of Titanium to withstand those two monster J-79's. 🔥 Those colors look SO familiar 🙂
