Crowsnest Mountain Summit

[@rtlo6511]

A youtube channel all about van life, cooking, outdoor activities, and mental fortitude. No selfies and beaches. THIS is real.

[@tomki6asp]

Free basing fermented grain is the perfect ending to a hard climb, well done.

He climbs mountains with a selfie stick. He’s a waterhead. But an entertaining waterhead.

The view from the top was GORGEOUS

This video was beautiful from start to finish. But waht striked me most, was the first 8 seconds of it. Sitting in your comfy warm van, which by itself stands within a snowy natural environment, having this gorgeous view out your back window. It's like having a villa in the woods. There is nothing better than an evening winter landscape. What I enjoy most about those mountain shots is the peacefulness and natural beauty. No man-made structures, no sounds of cars or planes, no houses. Untouched nature without anybody around to bother you. That's priceless.

[@317eltoro]

Not challenging enough for you? Try holding a camera on one hand.

[@UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ]

...or leaving the camera recording you climb a difficult section only to have to return to pick it up each time.

FireStarter I couldn’t agree more, the more I see of our boy the happier it makes me feel, living vicariously through him and seeing the beautiful and truly stunning views.

[@Osteroperois]

He’s literally smiling while falling this man is the definition of happiness

[@ettashouse]

That's what i thought wish i could be more like him

[@nanchesca3950]

I was getting dizzy watching you summit that mountain, from my horizontal position on the couch lol. Stunning views!!

[@harryb1745]

Wow that brought back memories... I climbed crowsnest mt 50 yrs ago... Working for forestry service... In Blairmore ...

[@mariematlock3963]

Epic. I felt like I was there, sans the sweaty back.

[@kevinrivera1100]

You came up on trending about a month ago on KZbin and I fell in love with your minivan and your journey. I just started to watch all your vlogs to when you started over a year ago and watched them all in chronological order. I will be going to Canada now for summer vacation to see what you wake up too every day. Keep up the good work my guy and enjoy your beverage.

[@caranich23]

That scenery is breathtaking. Thank you for bringing us along. Be safe out there!

[@FriendlyHermit]

I knew he was Canadian when he left his bike unattended in a foot of snow.

[@LiLBitsDK]

I am sure his bike can survive without anyone "attending" to it ;-) he does usually lock his bike from what I have seen on other clips when he lock it to a tree and such

[@nohabloemojislosiento4930]

In Oregon, and anywhere in the US for that matter, I triple check my truck is locked even if I know I'm the only hiker within 30 miles. Whenever he leaves his gear unattended I get slightly nervous. Lol

[@DDBurnett1]

@@nohabloemojislosiento4930 I usually leave my car unlocked in Oregon (except in Portland). The only theft I've experienced (though interrupted, so no loss) was in Canada, so I guess everyone's experiences are different, lol.

[@HICARO]

I love your videos so much. I enjoyed the virtual hiking experience while eating chips and salsa for breakfast. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@JohnMarsing]

Awesome pictures. Guessing you'll remember this hike for a while.

[@YT0091]

I love your videos because they aren't fake and produced like others on KZbin. While some people portray themselves as being total badass, you show yourself falling down and getting exhausted. That's real.

[@tysadventures1]

Awesome Video! I looked at that mountain at the beginning and was thinking there's no way he's going to climb that without climbing equipment, you proved me wrong...Keep up the good work!!

[@1101agaoj]

3:02 Put a scare in me unexpectedly. Well worth all the hard work for the ASTOUNDING VIEWS!!! Thanks for the unbelievable beauty you so generously share with many of us not able to make it up the mountain, any more.

[@rickatkins1493]

Thanks bro, at 75 years old i can not do that now. I use to love it. wonderful view❤️

[@Cloudedwolf07]

Goddamm i also feel exhausted even tho im just watching... thanks for tagging us along your adventure and make us see these beautiful scene 👍

[@tmcd4565]

Great stuff! I've been a long time follower of your cycling tours. Now your climbing/hiking videos to peaks in the Canadian Rockies are terrific. I've driven past Crowsnest Mountain regularly for many years...and I think now I would like to try hiking up it (in the summer). You might also give a Fisher Peak east of Cranbrook a try, but should likely wait for summer. Thanks so much.

[@allanj4576]

I drive through Crowsnest fairly often, thanks for the reverse view.

[@bdiff]

I absolutely hate cold weather but I can’t get enough of your videos Foresty 😁 Thanks for sharing it with us 👍🏻

[@mindym5579]

Those views are ALMOST as incredible as you are. You make it all look so fun. I love when you slide down the mountain. Awfully cute Foresty 😍🌱💙

[@nicksss1843]

Thanks for taking us with you! I ice climbed Helvellyn in the UK lakes a few years ago when it was like this - amazing summit on Crowsnest - great video 👍🏻

[@Morongobill]

Damn, he really bested the mountain this time.

[@gerthinatorgaming5952]

DUDE... that view 💖 honestly I'm not jealous at all... Grrr.. as I'm stuck at work driving my lorry around England 🤣😭😭😭😭 Love your vids bud, even though they're not too long I really think you've got the right balance.

[@trinitysays]

I love watching your channel. You have the gift of talking easily to the camera. You make me want to climb those summits!

[@tb77677]

The level of effort to keep filming shots walking away from the camera UPHILL when you were that tired was amazing! As usual some of the best on KZbin.

[@Madzguy007]

Man you are my hero. I love how you live such a lifestyle on your own. Thank you for these beautiful video. Bit i must admit, sometimes i feel really scared for you, especially that you are on your own.

[@stephanhintz3039]

Randomly came across your videos and I love them man! You live such a happy simple life. Keep up the content! I live in the city and would love to live how you do!

Awesome!!! Thank you for the beautiful views! LOL at freebasing protein powder 😂✌️

Hats off sir, one hand go pro and one hand ice pick plus that steep slope.

[@michele2855]

That was a great hike and fantastic conditions. Thanks for taking us along. A hike like that makes winter worthwhile! You have given me motivation 👍🏽

[@VanlilfewithDaleandBailey]

I've watched a number of you climbs and I understand now the addicting nature of wanting to climb all those peaks. You make it look somewhat easy, and fun. I like how on this one, where one minute your laying on the snow tired and exhausted and the next your camera is up above you and your farther down, just so you can get the shot of you climbing up. For a minute there I thought you had forgot your lucky charm and then it showed up at the end. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along. I really enjoy it.

[@rebeccalong171]

The view is so beautiful!! Thanks for takeing us along.

[@cmi7439]

"Dead Man's Pass, that must be fun." 😁😁😁😂😂 This was AMAZING! INCREDIBLE! and UNBELIEVABLE! Seriously, how are you able to do this "hike/mtn climb" holding a camera? Your stamina has to be off the charts. In AWE! The scenery & views are breathtaking in many of your videos, but this one is like an episode National Geographic!

[@richardwarnock2789]

That was epic cold fun I'm in Florida thanks brings back memories!!!❄❄❄🌬☃️👍👍👍👍👍

[@perfectlylonely]

Beautiful pano. No wonder you smiled through the whole video. Loved your "protein" drink, at the end 😁

[@janehill2498]

Thank you for allowing me to view, through your eyes, the beauty of our world. I would never, physically, be able to do what you do. I am so grateful for your videos!!

[@markg3025]

Love the establishing shot of the mountain in the distance. A great accomplishment.

[@RobFomenko]

Fuc***g A Foresty! Climb well done. Incredible views up there. Not very high on a mountain scale, but plenty enough. Like the tip on turning your shirt around... never would have thought of it.

Best videos on the internet. Keep them coming.

[@katokhaelan4881]

You're an inspiration, brother. Thanks

[@scholastic01]

You may need to think about getting a camera to wear on your head. That hike with one hand while climbing up that steep mountain was freaking me out. Also I believe you mentioned you need to look into upgrading your van equipment. It wouldn't hurt to reach out to some of the companies to see if they can sponsor you. That way you are able to try out products that will suit you while being paid at the same time. Just something to think about. Enjoy your channel by the way! ❤

[@CANControlGRAFFITI]

A GoPro wouldn’t give the proper depth. Quit being a sissy

[@desolate_oblivion]

@@CANControlGRAFFITI there are small action cameras with pretty good depth technology. And it is risky to hold a camera in these conditions so it will be good for him. Safety is the first priority.

[@mark-ish]

@@desolate_oblivion especially when trekking solo!

[@LiLBitsDK]

he does have a head camera, but that would just show the ground and not him and not like he holds the camera like that 100% of the time ;-)

[@rooterson]

Truly incredible to watch your adventures! I've been camping at chinook lake near there many times over the years. You have inspired me to do that climb!!! I don't know if it is in the cards for you, but waterton national park is a short drive from there. In my opinion, the most beautiful park Alberta has to offer. Best of luck on your adventures!

[@uol1051]

Glad to sit thru postmenopausal osteroperosis ads for you, Forest. I never hit 'skip'.

[@parabellum09]

Part jealous, part happy and warm and not tired from hours of climbing up a mountain. Great videos as always man.

[@iheartcolorado9311]

I am not a Mom, nor am I old enough to be your Mom, but I may sound like a Mom here for a second...this is so dangerous for you to be doing a winter summit alone like this. There, i said my peace, and that being said, I absolutely LOVE your videos and I look forward to watching each one. I am envious of your freedom and the time you spend outdoors. Keep safe!

[@elainepatton3825]

You're a nurse, they usually have those MOM instincts. ✌

He gets his energy from all that BACON!

100% agreed Especially if you see a recent Avalanche. He was lucky the wind was going the other way otherwise he might have triggered one. He should get some avalanche training and 2 buddys with a rope

Living in the Canadian winter right now, I'd take the 108 F myself, thank you very much.

[@nicolep9636]

Another beautiful video, Foresty!!! Cheers and happy Sunday to you!! 😊😊😎😊💚

[@fromnsk]

What you can do for bathing: buy a winter tent and a portable wood stove (with a smoke pipe). If you do it properly, you can create a small sauna inside of the tent.

[@slackerZ1]

Breathtaking view from the summit. Love your videos! Such good can content and quality is A+

[@theresnobodyhere5778]

looks like you didnt have enough of the super food bacon and muffins such beautiful scenery, something so magical when you can stand above the clouds looking down on earth at the moment you stop and stare the arms outstretch and you feel you wanna fly into the distance

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again I don’t know how you’re able to go out on those deserted roads alone but I’m so glad that you do and that you take us with you. It’s truly amazing that you’re able to steep climb that mountain and still record beyond that record yourself going up come back down for the camera and then do it again thank you so much what an amazing view I’m so happy that you’re having these amazing adventures stay safe and see you next time
