Leatherman Peak and BLT Pizza - Van Life in Idaho

[@ChristopherThompson-c3p]

I understand that you’re food cooking is truly important to your health and needs as a mountain climber. You probably use more energy than loggers in the old days. Good to stay healthy with the veggies. You definitely need it. Love watching your videos. I’ve always needed educational content. 🎉

[@lucylou5766]

I’ve said it before, Simon, you are one intrepid dude and so is that pup. Re your pizza dough, for the love of everything sacred, you need to allow the yeast to ferment and rise the dough before you bake it. Otherwise you end up eating a flat, hard biscuit not puffy soft bread/pizza base. Give it 45 mins to increase in size. Pop your dough in a bowl drizzled w a bit of oil, cover, and let the yeast do its work. Your dough will become elastic. You could afford to add a bit more water, too. All the best for 2023!

There's something truly magical about watching a man living so much at peace with himself and the life that he's designed for himself. You inspire me.

[@markg3025]

Most people who climb will do one summit and bore friends and family with the story and pictures. But our Forestry has done 177 what a summit man.

[@SolarSailor1967]

Starting 2023 with a F.F. video is the best beginning I could wish for.

[@jessicad83]

The little Rocko tracks in the snow next to yours are the cutest thing EVER 🐾

[@kelliephoenix]

❤️🐾❤️

[@cherobinson6371]

Needs a jacket! And boots. I’ve seen dogs loose paws to frostbite.

[@kelliephoenix]

@Che Robinson She has a very good customized jacket by Forest. Please check out the previous video. And the booties are probably very hard to keep on her tiny, speeding feet. And Rocko also lets Forest know when she wants to be carried in his jacket. They have an amazing bond and Forest is ALWAYS concerned with Rocko's best interest. 🐾💕

fantastic to find a place for laundry and shower! with that and a store for food and firewood, plus post office and wifi, my life in a van could truly be worthwhile!

[@Fuzzy_Spork]

Foresty, thank you for the past year of content. I was diagnosed with cancer in December of 2021, and your channel has been my go-to on chemo weeks when I most need a smile (Rocko is a blessing!) and beautiful scenery - your cinematography is outstanding! Don't ever think your content is too boring or too short. I love to see just the nuts and bolts of your van life as much as the epic mountain climbs. Please be safe in 2023!

The way you stick your pup in your jacket is the coolest thing I've ever seen. One lucky dog.

[@bryandeerkiss445]

Lived in a barn for the month of September with no running water or power. Forest, you helped inspire me to take that step. Sold my house, left my job and lived for once. It's gonna be a great 2023. Happy New Year to you and Rocko!

[@LadyShmady]

Start a KZbin channel to record your adventure and we'll follow along with you!

[@ads9765]

Your drone footage and choice of music is always fantastic. Do a montage of all your summits and im sure it would be a top viewed video. Happy new year!

Oooooooh yes!

Agreed!

its not a drone. he has a helicopter do aerial shots

IM NOT SURE ABOUT ANYONE ELSE BUT MY 2022 WAS GREAT SPENDING IT WITH FORESTY FOREST AND ROCCO. LOOKING FORWARD TO 2023 WITH BOTH YOU GUYS!!

[@ncnifrej]

Happy new years Foresty! If you want to up your pizza game I would highly recommend to increase the dough hydration (eg 70%) and let it rise longer, so the gluten can develop and bubbles can form. Keep up your cooking adventures, it’s really fun to see what you can prepare!:)

[@Dj-zz]

Thanks for sharing your mountaineering adventures. A great way to end 2022 or beginning 2023. I really like your humble attitude Forestry.

Happy new year from England dude. 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🌎

[@pauloh3591]

Try letting the dough sit and rise. Cover it with plastic. When it's fluffy and light like feather knit it again. I'm not sure but to get a thin crust you should add only a little yeast and it should be the other kind the biological one. The water can't be too hot or it will mess up the fermentation. With all said I don't know for sure. It's a good question how to make thin crust dough. And you don't really need to cook it first, cook it with sauce and cheese and add the other toppings later. Ok I'll stop now.

[@Jon-jk8vd]

Pizza shop I noticed has balls of dough covered saran wrap in bowl overnight, then they put it through the rollers and spin in the air

[@Jon-jk8vd]

Don't stop Paulo 😄

[@Speedracerrr43232]

my friend the other day spent a few hours running around looking for a crock pot while he was on vacation, he eventually gave up and called me to rant, I told him your not going to find one because Forresty Forest who lives in a van went back to that way of cooking and he found a singing crock pot that probably caused a buying spree of Christmas shoppers buying every crock pot out there in hopes of finding one that sings

[@OGGuy-xb1yk]

Looking forward to your videos is 2023, FF, and Moresty, and Rocko.

[@hkensey]

Forestry, if you make your pizza dough ahead and give it time to rise before rolling out, the crust with be lighter/less dense.

Once your wood or block is burning hot turn the front air intake way down. They will burn slower and last longer. As long as there's very little smoke coming out the chimney it's an efficient burn. Thank you for your hard work on this channel!!

Higher hydration, and longer rest (overnight in fridge) will make for a more elastic dough that you can stretch thinner.
