Hi Foresty, I’d love to see close ups of some of the plants that you see way up there on the mountains. I’m really curious to know what survives in those conditions. It’s a rare privilege to see the views and the animals you encounter and share with us. Thank you.

[@linebrunelle1004]

hi Angela. If you are interested, there are a couple good books about flora and fauna of the Canadian Rockies. I use Edible and Medicinal Plants of the Rockies, and, Ben Gadd's Guide to the Rockies. Lots and lots of plants and critters 🙂 I hope you find these helpful.

[@danielvr4053]

The saying is the mountain will be there tomorrow, you don't have to make it on the first attempt. It's amazing how fast the weather can change at the higher elevation and when the mountain decides to make its own weather. You will make it next time and get a view we all can enjoy.

[@joanneteasdale4192]

And, for those who can: remember when there were NO drones and people hiked in peace? Why is peace no longer something that is valued? Thank you for bringing up the presence of drones Foresty.

3:19 BETTER JUDGMENT WINS THE DAY. Not all all attempts should be at the sacrifice of safety. Less experienced hikers may get a false sense of security by watching summit successes that edit out real risks. You do a real service as an honest & responsible example to others with less knowledge and skill.

[@sharonoldham4374]

Rocco is such a trooper. It's like she trained all her little life to climb mountains. Thanks FF for getting such a precious dog 🐕 . Have a nice labor day weekend 😊

[@linebrunelle1004]

Hey Foresty. You are a great example of a free spirit. I had to quit being a tour guide because people's disrespect and disregard for our country's pristine natural beauty. As a veteran, it guts me to see our country abused for decades. so thank you for being a great advocate. And people. bring a zippered bag for your used toilet paper and take it with you.

[@forestyforest]

And go into the forest, dig a good hole to poop in... pick a location where noone else will visit. Dogs get into everything. ☹️

I really enjoy the variety in these videos - Rocco’s antics, mountaineering, cooking, gorgeous drone footage, laundry, and those shots of the porcupine! So great. I also appreciate your comments on being careful not to bother the folks camping nearby with your drone. Fixing up forest trails, packing out your trash, and being thoughtful about the use of your drone all show what a decent guy you are. ❤️

[@remmedyyy_]

Drone footage is always some of the best.

[@amye4087]

Glad to hear you totally respect other people when you are using the drone. Not that I would think otherwise. I definitely have a love hate relationship with drones. Love the ability to see routes and the incredible vistas, but totally hate it when they are near me when I am in the outdoors. Always glad to see you are willing to turn around when it doesn't feel right. Thanks for taking us along.
