I would have to say there is a 99.9999% chance Rocko has the world record for most summits by a Jack Russell.

[@wconradjr]

Not wolves.

[@susanlewis1875]

And those little legs take way more steps than humans' do! ❤🐕

[@c0mpu73rguy]

@@terrywillefertWith mountain dogs being a thing, I’m not so sure about that.

[@Mrperson662]

Fittest Jack Russell on earth probably!

[@soaruk3697]

Only one Jack Russell has been to both the North and South pole though...........

[@mauricepowers3804]

Right on!!!

[@roundstone2020]

Well said. I feel the same.

[@jeffhokit5046]

Inspiring. My senior terrier & I climbed a small hill today in Rocko’s honor.

[@ryanwalters6120]

This video is a great example of knowing your limits. No matter how good you are there is always someone “better”. Always know when to call it quits, and to sit back and enjoy the view! Incredible footage.

[@RMJ1984]

Definitely... When you don't respect your limits and listen to you gut, that is when you get injured or killed. It doesn't matter how good you are or how many times you done something right, because it only has to go wrong once.

[@jlhenderson2]

The drone footage of the waterfalls and mountains was incredible.

[@rjensen2586]

Jaw dropping ❤

[@franklindmurphy]

Rocko summits these mountains like its nothing. Absolutely incredible.

[@incognitoatunknown2702]

She's a badass little dog. Her little leg muscles alone are impressive.

[@leschortos9196]

4 wheel drive helps

[@eastwood111]

Why do you find this incredible? It’s a animal, that’s what they do. Don’t get me wrong, Rocko is a great Dog ❤

[@CarlJones14]

Well done Madison, & Forestry. Trying, and quiting is good. We don't want injuries or death.

[@richardthomas1743]

Rocko is AMAZING for such a little Dog. She IS "Mighty Dog" !!

[@FORKandFIFTIES]

Yes she is full of muscle too 💪

[@jayoneill1533]

Know your limits! You’re a wise man Foresty.

[@JLR77]

As a disabled middle aged man I live vicariously through these videos! Please keep up the great work! We love you and Rocko.❤

[@richardthomas1743]

😲 WOW! Your friends climbing up that mountain! Wholly crap! 😮. Amazing views all around there , but very dangerous! Thanks for taking us along and thumbs UP!!👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ernestomarquez6655]

Who are these crazy adventurers?❤

[@klondikewoman2851]

Those waterfalls were amazing...Forestry you scale those mountains just like a mountain goat..effortlessly. Rocko is such a happy little dog thanks to your lifestyle.

[@Narrowway7]

I’m enjoying your humility in certain situations. How you back out if you’re not feeling it. So many people don’t do that or heed to their internal cautions and it ends up in a disaster or life lost. Always a joy to watch you and that little beast Rocko!!!

[@leewilliams809]

Foresty Forest! New subscriber here... Or Foresty Fiend. I Discovered Your Channel a couple weeks ago, and have shamelessly binged over 100 of Your Episodes. I don't Plan on stopping anytime soon either! Thank you for creating such an Amazing Work of Art, and sharing Your Story. You are an Inspiration to many. Be safe out there eh!

[@forestyforest]

Thank you, thank you!! Welcome to the channel 😊

[@leewilliams809]

Happy to be here man. thank you! 🙏🏼🏔️

[@WalksInCamera]

You've found a great channel. It truly is one of the best on KZbin!

[@brucehartman7605]

Exactly what I did when I discovered this amazing channel.

[@journeywithnichole]

Yep did same thing! Lol Later you will get mad at yourself cause you will see an old video & wonder how the heck that didn’t make it in the binge watching 😂

[@drott150]

Foresty for the intermittent electrical gremlins: In many if not most cases, gremlins like you describe are caused by faulty ground(s). Since you say after driving through water you get the fault with good consistency, I would crawl under the vehicle and inspect all the battery to engine grounds, the engine to frame grounds and the body to frame grounds. The manual will describe all of the grounds, of which there are many. Really look at all of them and clean and wire brush connections and also replace any old or suspect looking grounding cables (use dielectric grease to help prevent future corrosion after cleaning). And even add grounding cables in various locations to help ensure there is a solid ground to the system that seems most affected. If ABS and traction control are the ones acting up the most, then look on an electrical schematic and try to determine where its ground(s) comes from. Once you identify it, run your own ground straight from the battery and to the module (or its sensors etc) to see if that helps. If it doesn't help, it may be some other system that ABS/Traction control relies upon that is not getting a good ground. Just ground the hell out of everything one by one and see if it makes the problem go away. It won't hurt anything and it may very well help. Otherwise, it could be a connector that is not hermetically sealed and water is getting into it during the wet driving conditions you describe. You can run simple experiments when you are not in the woods with a water spray bottle (or maybe with a garden hose or at a carwash etc). Experiment by spraying water on various locations you suspect may be possible trouble areas (which means grounds and connectors). Then drive around and see what happens. Pretty easy to do and you may discover a consistent cause and effect relationship allowing to really zero in on the culprit once and for all. Lastly, and this may not be easily accomplished depending on how buried the connectors are, but try disconnecting the various connectors and inspect for "pushed" pins or sockets. Pins and sockets have locking tabs that keep them into position within the connector. With the connector disconnected, you can press on each socket and pin with a pointy tool (being careful not to short any 2 pins, best to do this with power off and battery disconnected or use a non-conductive pointy tool). Sometimes they fail or were never fully locked into place at the factory. They may have made good enough of a connection for the first few years of the van but eventually deteriorate with corrosion or looseness where the connection becomes intermittent and vulnerable to vibration and moisture. If possible, check continuity between each connector "end-to-end" on each wiring harness. Flex the connector and wires while you check continuity. Go pin-to-pin, socket-to-socket etc for each and every one, starting with the system that seems affected most (ABS/traction in your case). Be on the lookout that sometimes the sockets and pins are still locked into place inside their connectors, but you have a pulled wire inside the insulation that is not visible externally (you can often feel a pulled wire through the insulation though). If the wires and connectors are buried deep within the guts of the van, these types of tests may not be easily doable. But after you exhaust all of the easier things described above and there's still no remedy, it's the deep dive you may need to do. If nothing else, at least check the connectors that are easy to access. You may get lucky and one of those connectors will be the culprit. Good luck brother, keep the epic videos coming.

[@pmthrill]

Thanks! I love your cinematography and rolling commentary. (Fantastic editing, too!) Who knew a guy a dog and a van could be must watch TV

[@mightymikey6798]

Wow! Those summit shots are epically beautiful!

[@ernestomarquez6655]

EPIC

[@MadisonClysdalee]

So that’s what the summit looked like 😅… Was still a fun day! Tell Rocko I miss her.

[@forestyforest]

Was a fun day indeed!! Hopefully next time Kyro can come and meet Rocko 😊

[@leestimson12]

Thank you for taking us along. Rocko won the big prize when you picked her. A dogs life! : )

[@johnhighstreet5199]

Nope. How y'all can do this is simply astounding.

[@waldo9254]

Dude....that footage at 9:53 and on of Devan and Rob was f'n insane. So glad you bailed on that crazy stuff. The amount of exposure at 10:12 is such a nope for me. Not only that but they took different routes which seems even crazier. That's a lot of faith in ice not moving etc. Kudos to them but damn that's wild.

[@skytechbits]

Your choice of music is spot on. Your video production is so amazing. I'm glad you and everyone are safe.

[@andreasidlar7942]

Wish i could love this more than once. Absolutely breathtaking scenery on that headwall, and Foresty's cinematography is first rate ❤. When subscribers say this is hands down one of the best YT channels out there, they're 100% right

[@forestyforest]

Thank you Andrea. That's very nice of you to say!

[@whisper197]

them waterfalls at 7:30 are amazing! thanks for showing us these great places!

[@gloriaohandley8701]

Everytime I watch your videos my breath is taken away. Thank you for the opportunity to go places I wouldn't be able to on my own. Especially since I'm 74 now. Love your videos!

[@katereed4764]

Your videos add so much value to my quiet life!! Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@forestyforest]

Thank you 😊

[@enduringbird]

That drone footage was spectacular. Seeing those tiny humans climbing on that giant mountain is mind bending. When you look at a picture of a mountain is hard to fathom the scale so to see two tiny humans up there... It's really something.

[@serecon]

Your videos are always a breath of fresh air. Thank you!

[@forestyforest]

Thank you, nice of you to say that!

[@robertjones1838]

its so surreal @7:31 it looks like he is standing in front of a green screen. This is by far the most beautiful place I've seen on Foresty's vids.

[@ytubechannel997]

Favorite part was those waterfalls!

[@azimali322]

From 7:21 onward in this video, I could believe my freaking eyes on the majesty and awe of the video. I'm so impressed that they went ice climbing for the last two peaks. Respect to you for knowing when to stop, but holy shit the drone vids you took of them was nuts.

[@cami-loo108]

Thank you for taking us all to such gorgeous places on earth. Most of us will never be able to go but you captured it for us all

[@cindi7955]

It isn't just that you take us with you and do the extra work and expend that extra energy to do so, it is also that you do so with such a humble spirit and when you reach your limit you are not only at peace with your effort but also excited to focus on those who went on. In a world of 'me first and selfies' you are shining star to not have fallen into that trap. As always your photography is so stunning and brings to all who see it such amazing natural beauty. 💛 Thank you.

[@bonniepwtf]

Kinda cool for those two guys that you did stay back & get that awesome footage of them. I am so glad you & Rocko were safe. What views to take in!

[@FreeEnergy137]

I'm amazed Rocko doesn't get altitude sickness, she's a special dog. I enjoyed this video!

[@americaofthenorth655]

Keep on keeping on Forresty Forrest

[@nartecurb]

This is some national geographic level shots. Freaking awesome!

[@goodwaterhikes]

WOW the waterfalls crashing down the side of the mountain were beautiful 😎✌

[@lisajel52]

Wow! It’s such another world to me. Beautiful, scary, serene, terrifying, epic, heart-pounding! I went through all of these emotions while sitting comfortably in my comfy chair. Hats off to you and your friends for doing these things just because you want to! Cheers!

[@teetertotter5787]

STUNNING! The perspective of the drone footage of the awesome mountains with the tiny 2 human specks climbing is just epic.

[@super.zdravko]

Jaw dropping footage. That multi waterfall area is unreal. Just awesome!

[@michaellewis483]

Not as stunning as the Lyells, but when I day-hiked up Kololo solo in the Glacier Peak wilderness in summer 2013 I probed every step with my ice ax. It was all non-ablated snow on the low angle Suiattle Glacier. I knew it was foolish but I was young, suicidal, and held that peak in a special place in my heart for its view of the Glacier Peak volcano and surrounding wilderness that I had visited many times and proud to see from my home. You could say I was somewhat motivated by nihilism and escaping into the sublime simultaneously. Caught a few potential buried crevasses forcing lateral traverses and survived my stunt making my summit and carefully retracing my steps to exit the glacier before the scorching heat of the afternoon. Stunning as the deep blue icefields, shimmering waterfalls, and cliffs were, I could feel the reserved hostility in the place, patiently waiting for my fatal mistake. By 5pm I was soaking my feet in the Sauk river, not glad to be alive, but surrendering to the universe which should have taken my life and just bathing in awe at its graciousness. Years later I got news of an experienced climbing friend taking a fatal fall into a hidden crevasse on that very glacier because they chose not to rope up. Made sure to rope up for every glacier afterwards and can't view that mountain with as much endearment anymore. Glad you at least discussed glacier travel with the crew before setting out. Been enjoying your videos for years and hope to see more for years to come. Be safe up there Foresty!

[@expatyankee]

Just staggered and mouth open when I saw your footage of the Lyell head wall.. and it’s waterfalls Wish it could have been the extended version of drone footage. What a great way to spend Canada Day weekend.

[@dd1394]

People who recognize their limitations are the smartest and safest people to be around….fantastic video.

[@chargeriderepeat7024]

No words, awe inspiring, terrifying and comforting as well, the shot of you sitting on the rock chair at the end..at one with it all.

[@maryannanderson2213]

I enjoy seeing you climb those summits and I also enjoy seeing you decide not to risk it and to turn around. As Dirty Harry said, "A man's gotta know his limitations!" You have Rocko to consider also because I'm pretty sure she would follow you anywhere you decided to go so it's nice to see you keeping her relatively safe. Those Canadian Rockies are breathtakingly beautiful but I'm glad I can see that beauty from the comfort of my own little house!

[@jimbrown4180]

O CANADA BABY SUPER NATURAL BEAUTIFUL BRITISH COLUMBIA CANADA. BRO INSANE!!! THANKS AGAIN HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND

[@QAsession]

Brave souls. That was really.... I have no words...

There are no words worthy of describing those waterfalls. Thanks for sharing your experience with everyone ! 🚐 ✌️

[@kwd-2023]

some of the most amazing drone footage you've tapped ever.

[@PLEASEMAKEANOTEOFIT]

Thanks! That's truly a magnificent slice of Nature! Gorgeous views! Glad you have the strength to Say No to tough Summits. In Ed Viesturs great book No Shortcuts to the Top, Ed mentions how on one of his many (?) No oxygen solo Everest Summits he got within 100 ft of the summit once, took a look at that too delicate snow pack and said NOPE and went back down. On other occasions overly enthusiastic climbers met grisly ends when pushing past "Sensible" limits. One man's Last Words were "It's Just Mount Rainier..." A peak that has claimed around 90 climbers over the last century and a quarter btw. PS - Rocko's the best Mtn dog alive! Glad she got 'er paw fixed up and a good rest for all. Hope they name an Ale after you...soon.

[@nealthomas3484]

[@tommynikon2283]

Insane drone footage; I was freaked on you solo across the snowfields….non roped. I’ve had many scares on Rainier.

[@FBall-im8ui]

Just Amazing!!!! Answers all my questions as I drive through on the main highways, can you actually climb to the tops of these mountains. YES! Well yes for you young farts, I'm 70 now and in great shape but not enough to make the top I don't think besides I am a Bear magnet, it never fails on any hike I do I attract Bears, I was charged by. Grizzly in the Kananankis and that was horrifying as he growled like my X, But I lived to tell the story with the Bear and my X. Thanks for the great video mate.

[@martinforrester8249]

That was stunning FF, what a beautiful landscape. Poor Rocky never complains does he, such short legs, he must get knackered.
