Yes, a full time KZbinr since 2019, but a lot of subscribers may not realize Simon has been creating content, excellent content just like this, since 2014-ish (not sure when the first stuff was filmed). Back then it was what I'd call hard core long distance cycling and he did the same excellent job (very cool music, incredible video work, and so authentic just like today). It would have been tough to make a living at it then as he could only produce maybe 1-3 videos a year vs 1 every 2 or 3 weeks (watch one and it'll make since). My favorites are Going East Across the West (such a Forestry Forest like title!), AK to Alberta, Alberta to AZ, Touring the SW on a fat bike... He and Iohan G. (RIP Iohan... ) got me into backcountry bike touring which I do to this day... Thanks for everything Simon!!!

I love the scenery, the love for nature, making paths available for others to enjoy and your efforts to make interesting meals in your little space.

Foresty, I have been reading the comments, and some of your viewers have some mighty weird ideas when it comes to the resources available on the planet and the number of humans on the planet. With regards to the opinions that you expressed at the end of the video, I wanted to let you know that I admire you for being a minimalist. Over consumption is killing our planet. Future generations will pay the price for our greed and lust for more, more, more. And I also agree with you that there are already enough (too many) people on this planet and that people who do not have kids are helping out the planet in a very significant way by not bringing more consumers into this world. Thank you for sharing your ideas on these topics with your viewers, even though some will not agree with them. I think that it is important to express these things.

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna butcher this quote, but It comes to mind when I watch your posts: it's by a favorite author of mine, Garrison Keillor, who said, "In a world of elephantine greed and vanity, you never have to look far to see the campfires of gentle people."... And to completely take the quote thing way too far, my mom always says, "We're all just here to walk each other home." May I say your life goes far in achieving that goal. So yeah, just thank you, for the campfires, for the walk, for the sublime company home.

I have tried many times. As the stove heats up or cools down, the glass gets instantly recoated with carbon. I just gave up and accepted it will always be a little dirty..

The really functional high end stoves that CAN keep the glass clean have air induction that goes from the lower back of the stove channeled thru the stove internals and usually comes from above the glass and washes down to the coals to prevent VOC/creosote build up. I currently have a Vermont Castings torn apart looking at the air conduit...I also have others. I am likely gonna build a stainless vertical "sailboat" style with an external air intake. If you don't have an external air source it will either scavenge air (drawing cold INTO your space) or pull a vacuum trying to get air. This happens at both our little super tight super insulated home (pull air from basement floor P traps) AND our tight cabin in woods. If you don't provide it air , funny things will happen, P trap odors, weird draft issues with chimneys..etc.

​@@allrightsreserved3237 you can scrape the glass with a razor blade as well. It won't hurt the ceramic glass, I have to do this with our one stove.

That shaft was a strange phenomenon in a strange location. Kudos to you for getting the footage - makes you wonder if someone will ever attempt to descend it. One of the reasons this is my favorite van life channel is because you spend as much time as possible in the backcountry. I can't imagine wanting to live vanlife in the city - no thanks. At the end of next year I'll be switching to half time at my work - two weeks on and then two weeks off. My nomad plan is to spend my time in our National Forests in two week chunks, camping in the backcountry. Got most of my gear and am starting to count down the months.

Next time you are in California, stop in at fast food place, Rubios. Their specialty is fish tacos. They are simple with mayo sauce, cabbage, and lime on fish taco. Their fish tacos goes really well with their refried beans with heaps of salsa on the side. Interesting adventure!

That final self description was very well done and you did almost all of it in one take!! I respect the no kids/family plan. I wouldn't change anything that happened in my life, but I hope in my next life I'll try to live for myself more. There's nothing selfish about it. I think it's more selfish to attach yourself to someone and expect them to live life the way you want. So, good for you!

There is no next life, and you also have been programmed by the electric talmudic toilet and the (goblin) media that is waging world-wide, white Christian genocide to self-genocide by not getting married in a Christian church and raising white Christian children which is what God the Father wants for his children.

I haven't watched this video yet. I'm going back to watch all your old ones first. Felt it was best to reach out on new content. I really like your channel and feel you do an amazing job with explaining things while adding humor. You're a very smart individual chasing a dream but it is a lot of work doing what you do. Thank you for sharing your adventures. You inspire ....its awesome.

About half way down it occurred to me there might be a body at the bottom!!!!!!! I LOVE to see what you're reading. I'm always looking for new books. I would enjoy seeing some of your rock climbing. You're my absolute most favorite vlog. You have a great variety of things that you film and talk about.

Good vid. That's either a natural crack but most likely an stoop driven up from an ore mine underneath. Copper, zinc, some metal found in the area. Somewhere around the mountain a riase could have been put down or an entry from the side of the hill driven in. I inspected a lot of places like that. Got to be really careful with the air. Make sure a positive flow is there before ever going in. You could die in one breath. Rocks could fall on you as well. Make sure someone is outside and have a plan/time/communications. I was federal Inspector for mines for most of thirty years. Seen some tragic events that didn't have to happen. All good from east Kentucky USA
