So you had shimmy across a log over a raging river, set up a camera, go back and cross again to get that shot. Also in the dark. Legendary.

[@lscblackwell9202]

Man parts of steel!!!!

[@harrypottah8889]

It’s a cool job for sure! Imagine getting paid to do what you love and enjoy, holy crap it must be awesome...

[@agentorange1556]

What about climbing that ice wall and then having to go back down to get his camera.

[@richardclark.]

Not that he isn't legendary. And not that he doesn't obviously backtrack for a shot sometime, but he is also very savvy. Take a drone shot and retrieve the easy way if the shot is incredibly difficult? Leave one of his several cameras and pick it up on the way back? It's certainly a tactic I would use if needed.

[@forestyforest]

@@agentorange1556 going back to fetch the camera that time was scary..! Its too hard to launch the drone when on a slope like that 😞

Man, those drone shots honestly made me tear up. Its silly how beautiful nature is and how much we take it for granted and mostly don't choose to experience it enough and let it heal and calm you. Instead we choose a concrete jungle of digital enslavement. You really live life and have so many awesome experiences. It inspires me to stop taking the world we live in for granted and actually choose to take it all in far more often.

[@CaliforniaBushman]

As a drummer for 40+ years, the drum rudiment track was actually some of the best drum music I've heard on any KZbin video. Nice job, Forresty!

[@patmichael1231]

Just discovered your channel, thanks for taking me back. I went up the south face twice in the 80s. That was before they built the road into Rice Brook. It was a big day just getting to the base back then. On the first attempt, after camping in the valley bottom, we ran out of steam at the pinnacle at the top of the gulley. 2nd time we camped below the glacier and made it. Loved the drone shots.

[@DerekDelBoyTrotter]

Foresty, as far as KZbin goes, your videos are, by far, the ones I look forward to the most.. Keep up the good work and can't wait for the next video!

[@canislupis3129]

Fantastic opening scenery, and this may well be my favorite video so far. Everything hits the check marks and no throw always. You keep improving with the video all the time, maybe you don’t see it like we do. Honestly I will watch this several times. A bit of rough territory for the van. Good thing you didn’t hit any sharp rocks. Love the chainsaw scenes, as simple as they were. Reminded me of my youth at our cabin at Red Deer Lake near Sudbury Ontario. I was an indentured servant and spent many hours cutting logs for firewood while my dad and uncle sampled a case of Red Tabs. There was a sense of satisfaction cutting up sections of log and the sound of the saw going. You must be just about out of room in your van. No way you could have all your essentials in the old minivan. Those waterfalls were beautiful and I would have spent an hour there easily. Your ascent up that steep terrain was a little scary. It’s a good thing you presurvey and carefully plan your attack. Anyone with lesser skills and not as broadly experienced as you would not be able to do that. Staying out alone for 5 days sounds like heaven to me, but I think not everyone is as comfortable with their own company as you are. And that is a major contribution to your success out in the mountains. Roco fulfills many needs but I was uneasy thinking about her getting face to face with that black bear. It’s a bit dodgy you hiking in the dark with her. You almost wouldn’t see anything silent until it was in your face. I don’t see you taking other precautions than maybe a can of bear spray that you could hopefully draw like a six gun shooter if you had to. Perhaps Roco keeps a keener sense than you of other animals close by, but I wouldn’t bank on it. A good point about her being in heat and who knows what it might tempt in the wild. I keep worrying about mountain lions taking an interest in her or even you for that matter. Your pretty scrawny and they get dangerous. Your soup looked awesome. A good pot of that will keep you going. I think I would pull out the trusty slow cooker and make a big serving and let it simmer away, especially now that you have some more amp hours. Honestly Foresty these were spectacular scenes. It must be difficult arranging the camera on your own to get these shots. Hope your AC doesn’t torture you too badly.

[@scottclapperton9793]

Your camera work and editing as well as angles and narrative are really progressing and it has an aesthetic of dramatizing nature rather than yourself. I think you have a well honed talent here and you may be able to create opportunities with it. Sometimes its hours and effort -but in your case you take real joy in creation (it shows) -respect boss man

[@breakneckbricks2028]
