Hikes across a mountain ridge and calls it a rest day. Love this guy!♥️

[@tonyhouk9047]

Hey Foresty, I’m 52 yo now. I am attending The University of Nebraska-Lincoln. After watching a few of your videos, I decided I’m going to ride my fat tire mountain bike from Falls City to Joder Ne. after I graduate. Thanks for planting that seed in me. Tony

[@tekkenfan01]

Happy

[@ericryckman5174]

Very inspiring 😊

[@taylorpark8313]

Did you do it?

[@rd8586]

Thank you for not ruining this wonderful film by adding music! So refreshing.

[@WorsDawg]

love it - "I didn't go through the front door I smashed through the side window"

[@familyandfriendsadventures5782]

Awesome new format for these tours! I really like it! Random story: About a year and a half ago, I was riding my MTB down the road near Temple Mountain area down by Goblin Valley in Utah, and a random person with some Fatbikes on his truck stopped me to ask some questions about MTBing in the area (which I knew very little about, just started myself, and had enjoyed some of your tour videos). Well I didn't have much useful information for him, but we started chatting about his fatbikes, as I was expressing an interest in getting my own, and he asked me if I had heard of the Foresty Forest Channel! I told him I had and that I enjoyed it a lot. At that point he proceeded to tell me that he had bought his fatbikes, and started taking all these trips to remote areas to ride because of your inspiration, which I thought was pretty cool! I definitely bought my fatbike because these tours boosted my interest a lot! Keep up the tours! I'm sure they're very satisfying, and they make excellent content!

[@forestyforest]

Haha that is cool!

[@FlyFreshTaDef]

I like how he says "IdaHO" lol. This is the type of content I didnt even know I needed! Shout out to you for even getting those shots of you riding,because I realize you had to get off your bike,set up the shot,ride back then do it over and over again just to get those shots for us! Know its appreciated sir!

[@LoveDogs___3]

That grave marker was so neat. I always wondered why you don't see graves every where or find bone's from everywhere because they had to bury people alot of the times right then. That's the first one I have seen out in the middle of nowhere. Thanks so much!!!

[@FlyWithMe_666]

Just amazing. This is one of the videos where I’m like «yeah, I’d like to do that, too» (much shorter tour, of course), but then come up if 100 stupid reasons not to do it. All you need is a bike, a few days off and determination though. The more often I watch these videos, the closer I get to setting aside more and more of the 100 reasons. Maybe I’ll get to zero next summer and just hit the road :)

[@robertthomas8653]

I coudn't deny myself decent hot food. That just wouldn't work for me. And no coffee? That's a deal breaker in itself.

[@mindym5579]

Could listen and watch for hours. Much love Foresty 💙🍻

[@NMgravel]

I did a dirt road tour in Kansas we followed the wind. Road tailwinds no matter what direction for a week. Was amazing! Best tour ever.

[@SurferKenTV3]

The footage on your hike was tremendous. Amazing unspoiled beauty. Really captured how fragile earth really is.

[@nm-ge4tb]

👍👍🧔Totally agree👍👍

[@christinabroadhead3810]

Coffee, Ice Cream and Beer, Oh my!! I love your channel Foresty!

[@bah5310]

Great adventure. I feel like a total slacker. I need to get more, thanks for the inspiration.

[@parkerberryhilll]

I"ve been binge watching your bikepacking videos for the past few days. They're so simple and so good.

[@Quick_Fix]

I'm not of the jealous kind, but boy how I envy you: what a beautiful trip with an even better scenery. 🚵‍♂️

[@mictheflash]

We're loving these videos.. we're just going to watch 1 or 2 and ended up watching all 5 in 1 go 😁👍 Great scenery, looks like you had a great time.... Looking forward to watching the rest of the adventure ♥️

[@jonduran7617]

So our family lived in Georgetown ID, while my children were growing up! Have been watching your videos the last couple of days and I want to thank you for the inspiration and being able to live vicariously through you Have done some backpacking through the Wind Rivers, pretty country!

[@mtadams2009]

I found the people in Wyoming to be very friendly. Back in my teens and twenties I used to roam the west rock climbing. When I was 17 I ran out of gas in Wyoming, the first rancher that came by gave me ten gallons of gas and wished me well. He never told me I was a knucklehead for driving thousands of miles without a working gas meter, I was. I love the west. Have a great time thanks for sharing.

[@gliderguynj]

Headwinds.... I don't understand the wind. Foresty, you are the best!!!!! Love your shooting style and commentary.

[@mickilkr]

This series is great, excellent job!

[@kevdel]

Great content as ever! The freedom of road and mind must be addictive

[@Questicus]

Amazing how much ground you cover dude. Crazy fitness great vids

[@zarb88]

Beautiful scenery once again. Thanks

[@jb6368]

I have watched all forestys videos,,from bike to minivan,,,not once have i heard him complain,,,seriously,,i burn toast i am off on mad one,,different breed is foresty

[@cmccormi1]

I am living vicariously through your adventures! You are the man. I bought the same fat bike as you, but I don't get very far on it. I can't wait to see installment 6, which comes out near where I live. I am curious about the Magruder Road. Thank you so much for these videos!

[@Jon-jk8vd]

this series is severely *underrated*

[@paddyo3422]

great content, I admire you for doing it your way. would like to see more of the daily stuff, meals and getting all the provisions and stuff

[@johngrant7979]

As a cyclist you should know 😀, you never have the wind with you - either it’s against you - or you are having a good day 🚴‍♀️ Enjoying your videos 👍

[@1984petrus1]

Fascinating journey brother

[@brettfoster6786]

Another epic ride and no rain 👍 . wind and coyote $ were crazy . happy trials .

[@MindScienceAlchemy]

I enjoyed your your journey. Thank you for uploading

[@CncObsession]

Absolutely beautiful scenery! Your determination is impressive.

[@shizlittlebam]

Cowshit on the tire had me howling. 😂 I never hear you curse

[@Chunky246]

Those wolves sounded amazing.

[@racooncity3325]

Mikehikebike Are they dangerous?

[@DriveLongRoad]

Your intro is Hollywood. What a great landscape. And it must be fun without end to ride there by bicycle.

[@fastgurrrl]

You are amazing. Stunning vistas. SWOON

[@FrankFrankly711]

"Look at all the cow shit on my tires... gross." lmao

[@DougA597]

Binge watching your vid's. Had to put in a comment as we visited the Yankee Fork gold dredge too.

[@UnbrokenChain360]

Keep on truckin', man! Awesome work.

[@richardhollerith3569]

I appreciate your _not_ adding music to this series of videos.

[@davidking6750]

I totally agree. I've been watching some bikepacking vids from various people and the music volume actually increases when they aren't talking (and almost always moderny music I don't want to hear ;-) )

[@FLYIN_DAGGERZ]

Out there all alone? Friggin brave dude....looks amazing tho. Also that comment about the wind blowing opposite of a cyclist is so true 😂🚲

[@lello333]

Always a pleasure your video, it feels like im with you, with my fat bike, in these beutiful places! :) all the best, but you have already won in life 🚵🏻‍♂️ 😉😊

[@shemajragin4606]

Hi 👋🏿 Thanks for sharing 😎

[@plutoplatters]

Keen sandals... one of the best.... I've kind of switched to Chaco z-1 tuff as it gets ...

[@brianlee4503]

Great video Forestry. The headwind seemed horrible. It's strange it's so hard to find a place to sleep all the time.

[@brazilianfernie]

Beautiful.

[@tonearm29]

Impressive and inspirational.

[@GrowthGuided]

So impressive. As I lay here in bed watching your videos I'm truly blown away by your courage and self sufficiency. Thanks so much for these videos Forrest. You are a great man.

[@forestyforest]

Thank you, glad to hear you like the videos 👍

[@bradbell4055]

Was in that area back in 88 was only 32 then

[@peymannorouzi4165]

Balls of Adamantium 💪

[@bradbell4055]

Great videos

[@forestyforest]

Thanks Brad, yes i think that was near Stanley.

[@sauravbasu8805]

Loved it ! Must give credit for setting up the camera and going back and forth again to make videos ! Your effort is our enjoyment. Greetings, from Kolkata, India

[@dixieh5555]

Sleeping with the wolves, the coyotes an the sagebrush.

[@carbonsuicidemtb1583]

You are an inspiration,if you ever fancy a European tour....

[@davidking6750]

2:42 ... wow that would be rather freaky with all those coyotes yammering in the dark

[@NealList]

Have you considered running a generator front hub for lights and recharging? Hope you make a full length video like you did for your other trips.

[@forestyforest]

I had one on my VooDoo touring bike, it didn't work well at slow speed in the mountains. I see there is a Schmidt Son designed for fat bikes though, I wonder if it works at a lower speed.?

[@NealList]

@@forestyforest they get good reviews but expensive

[@LoveDogs___3]

I do wish you had showed more of your camping along the way

[@deanherde805]

Yay Foresty 🤙

[@MartinPoirier]

Great scenery as always. I was surprised when you lifted your bike over the tree, knowing how crazy heavy a fully geared touring bike can be.

[@forestyforest]

I wish I had a weigh scale. But it takes a lot of time to unload and reload all the luggage. Sometimes you just gotta lift!

[@markg3025]

Craters of the Moon is the only US National Park in Idaho. Most people do not know about the volcanic history. 🌋

[@lpil]

Amazing!

[@yokehuatgoh]

5:05 ... lol, my favorite part.

[@nm-ge4tb]

👍👍🧔Well cool videos , inspired👍👍👌👏

[@peteralexander6514]

I only dream about stuff like that

[@illiefied]

I get baked as fuck to these videos

[@caraame]

You should take a gold pan. Some of your locations look ripe for gold!

[@herbyhannan1675]

I hope you understand how lucky you are if you have great open spaces like this,where I live it is the complete opposite to what your seeing,I grew up in the country,but circumstances have lead me to a concrete jungle,I've spent seven years in it and ,I think it's seven years too long,I've just started bike packing , I'm ready to load up and haul ass and cycle until I can't cycle no more,✋🏻

[@forestyforest]

Yes I think it's important to have freedom to roam around and breathe. Even a couple months on the road is glorious.

[@tonysizzle8574]

Price Is Right noise, haha.

[@eagleteam6]

FYI: the Yankee Fork Gold Dredge is unbelievably haunted. Everything from strange lights to the sounds of footsteps 💀. It's a shame you didn't catch some of it's past residents on video/audio.😲✌

[@Pushyhog]

Beautiful country., amazing how many trails in usa. I would haf to have a 45.

[@stephenrickstrew7237]

I wonder if it’s possible to rig some kind of sail for down winders …. They make some cool kayak sails that pack down to nothing …

[@KrazyKrzysztof]

hell yea. the iohan guerovich clone we need but don't deserve.

[@CarlosBenjamin]

Goal Zero panels are also pretty inefficient. Their marketing is stellar though. I bought it....

[@forestyforest]

I had the first version of the Nomad and it kicked ass. Lasted years before it took too much abuse and stopped working. Not sure what happened to their quality control.

[@bradbell4055]

Was that old gold dredge near Stanley

[@briansavage932]

Were those coyotes or wolves? That was crazy!

[@ronniedale8960]

Loving the videos! I’m looking at getting a fat bike but don’t know what to get. What bike are you riding?

[@1jackvalley580]

Yip Yip Yip Yip says the Coyotes. I use to lay in bed at night and the Coyotes would Yip me to sleep💤

[@SisterShirley]

You really did have Your Own Private Idaho

[@forestyforest]

It's amazing there, so much wilderness!

[@rachelk7555]

I like it without music.

[@deadduk]

Fantastic videos! What brand and model of bike do you ride? Thank you!

[@hakanbenli8169]

Thanks for sharing 👍 awesome scenery! When you do detouring, how do you know that the trail is not a dead end or impossible to go through?

[@forestyforest]

I try to spend time on the library WiFi doing research. Sometimes it's a gamble.

[@sergeis2746]

👍

[@daflotsam]

I’m curious if you’ve ever considered a freehub that doesn’t buzz or click. Or is the sound a welcome companion in these isolated areas?

[@mindybluephotography]

Is that a scorpion at the very end?!

[@Russell.Jolly.2023]

Did you ever investigate the solar panel to see where it was failing? That would make an interesting video as well.

[@forestyforest]

It was completely glued together. I tried to pry it open unsuccessfully. I didn't want to keep carrying a dead product so I tossed it. 😔

[@nobhiker]

Did sage brush tear that leg off 2:07. thanks for the vid.

[@CncObsession]

No but those coyotes did ;-)

[@spydersniiper]

Can you give a map overlay of where you are/heading? Great videos!

[@forestyforest]

The route map is in the video description. You might have to click on the show more button.

[@aaronwissler4408]

There's a lot of back tracking for all you video shots. 👍

[@tonylang7526]

FAB JOURNEY!! FIGURE A CAREER OF GUIDE, PRODUCT SPONSOR/REVIEWER, MODIFIED VEHICLE BUILDER/CONSULTANT : NEVER RETURN TO 'THE CITY'!!

[@ericpmoss]

Bummer about the Goal Zero. Have you tried Suntactics?

[@forestyforest]

No I haven't heard of that one. I'll check it out. Long story but I have a 3rd Nomad 7 now, waiting for it to break 😒

[@mcmxc3794]

What do you have for protection? I would feel very vulnerable in these situations sleeping in a tent.

[@mattdavis8034]

Wish i was you right now😉👍

[@david78212]

The Goal Zero solar panels are gaining with the number of BAD reviews... I only look at bad reviews, good ones are somebody that just took it out the box or fake, bad ones tell you what's REALLY going on with a product. You're putting some serious mileage on that fatbike...I'm gonna start touring but I'm starting small, only about 150miles...That's a long day for you.

[@soloman30]

What do you mean by gdmbr???

[@manfrummt]

Junk solar panel - Goal Zero Nomad 7 Plus

[@racooncity3325]

5:46 legit looks like Jeepers creepers running?

[@wefromtheurals5131]

like, subscription

[@markrigsby2425]

Grizzly bear country, buy a gun.

[@robmullins1427]

Similar experience with Goal Zero products. It’s all crap!
