The Macbeth Icefield - Van Life in Canada

[@mikethomas5284]

Dude deserves an award for doing the trail clearing. Tons of respect for you.

[@nn47301]

You and Rocko were a match made in heaven. You needed a dog that can keep up with you and she needed an active owner to burn off all that energy she has. Kudos to you both for finding each other!

[@Mathers420]

A lot of good stuff here. Finishing with Rocko drying off all over you van was awesome and then the genius log roll topped it off. Please stay safe out there, a video of you turning around is worthy video.

[@tengonadacluewhatsgutsprec1419]

Yes yes please don't ever keep going for contents sake; turning around still makes for a great video. Stay safe!

[@jillk1973]

This is my favorite of all your videos I've seen. You are such a good steward of the trail.

[@Youneedkoolin]

Very beautiful sights. We were from Chicago and my dad used to do seasonal work in Alaska, he would always leave a couple weeks early to see Canada, but he would call me up saying how he is on a big hike looking at big mountains.. I would like to think this is what he used to see and describe to me. But there is no way he had the physical capabilities to do any hikes that big haha! He used to live in his mini van throughout Canada and Alaska though and do adventurous things, that is why I feel so connected to your videos. He passed away 10 years ago we miss him dearly. But your videos bring me and my sisters joy because what you do reminds us of him. Thanks for all the entertainment

[@zoidberg444]

@@rouxchat6033 If you look at the G7 leaders right now probably the only one I would even rate of being slightly above average in terms of intelligence is that freak Macron in France who is a Rothschild clown and a weirdo (his wife is old enough to be his mother). Boris is a moron and really only cares about his own image. The president of the EU Ursula von de Leynen is the most failed politician in German history who ran their ministry of defence into such a state it literally couldn't function. It had no working tanks, planes or guns even for training exercises, Merkle sent her to Europe to get her out of the way, she is also highly corrupt. Mario Drahgi of Italy is unelected and ran the ECB into the ground and now is running Italy into the ground. Schultz in Germany is a complete non entity and has NO idea what he's doing. Trudeau is a complete idiot who could barely hack being an assistant drama teacher. He is a narcissist and an outright psychopath. Finally that leaves us with Biden - a man who was well known to be a dope when he came into the senate in 72. Who was the main man for the credit card lobby for his entire career who is no senile. No one even knows who is actually in charge in the whitehouse. His son also displays all the symptoms of someone who was horrifically sexually abused as a child. I HATE POLITICS. I HATE IT. ITS A FESTERING YEAST INFECTION. I would give anything just to get rid of all of them and just live in the woods and never have to hear about anything to do with them ever again.

Your safety is more important to me than seeing you make a peak. I enjoy the "Rocko" footage, she is an amazing companion for you. Love that you have a passion for making things better for others to enjoy hiking by clearing the deadfall. I think that you should keep the electric chainsaw for those times when it is not so rough. Just keep being you, that is what people enjoy about your channel!!

Man. That high mountain lake with the waterfall was incredible. Also, I'm really impressed that your Ryobi chainsaw was even able to attack that many thick logs, even if you do have two batteries. Super cool video. If you get a gas powered chainsaw I still think you should keep the Ryobi. I think you're forgetting how loud gas saws are. When you're up in the mountains and want to cut up some deadfall for firewood, your choices are "vweeeeee" with the Ryobi or "AAAAHHHHH" with a Stihl. I'd keep the Ryobi around for stuff like that just to preserve the ambiance.

[@forestyforest]

Hahaha yeah the Ryobi is definitely stealthy! I didn't really demonstrate in the video, but the Ryobi kept overheating on those really big logs, I'd get a couple seconds of cutting before needing to wait for a cooldown. It got pretty tedious, but yeah, it will do it if needed!
