Foresty fans, share this channel with your family, friends, enemies, etc... He and Rocko deserve more recognition for this amazing content!

Commenting for the bump. I don't have any friends so I comment and like for visibility.

Now. That’s a bear 😮 yikes ! Tks for the adventure 😊

[@harrycanyon6061]

Thank you guys!

[@mattslaboratory5996]

I think Rocko assumes you set up the tent and sleeping bag for her. Really cute how she dives in so eagerly.

[@forestyforest]

She loves it in there! Keeps my feet warm... the downside is she can't hear bears approaching in the night

[@ruxrox]

The first month, Rocco looked like she was thinking, "what have I gotten into? "

[@blueman5924]

and no mosquito’s ! 😄

[@warmbreeze43]

I just want to hug you and Rocko. You are such a great team and she sure keeps her eyes on you. Man’s best friend. Great companions. I think a sunny warm beach is in order. Joe Byeden what? 🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️. He can’t walk by himself🤣

[@SisterShirley]

​. I never thought I'd hear those 2 words coming out of FF's mouth. Joe Byedone. Now I have a headache.

[@jordanvargovich]

Rocko is literally the perfect dog for your travels

[@Adogslife54]

Truly! She is energetic enough to keep up when she needs to. Yet light and compact enough to carry when she can’t!

[@stanbyme7874]

There’s an unspoken communication between them. It’s beautiful. I believe they both need & appreciate each other.

[@niafer9444]

If Foresty says a move is sketchy, then it must be incredibly sketchy. Thank you for another wonderful video.

[@jeff-g]

Especially when he has to do it 2-3 times to set up and takedown the camera!

[@michaellewis483]

Hard pack sucks. No real safe way to navigate it. Turned me away from a summit or two. That slot canyon made for some jaw dropping video though

Agreed. It's the best!

[@pwarelis]

Thanks Foresty!

[@elainemartinez2021]

Oh my gosh!! How adorable!! Rocko was like "dad, it's no problem, just walk down this way, see..." and proceeds to come back up and watch your steps as you head down....She's such a sweet doggo.

[@jessiehead6525]

You are so amazing. The ability to just take off hiking across a place like that…and film it in a way that is absolutely captivating (the scenery, the dialogue, the food, the dog!). It’s just incredible. My deep gratitude to you for offering these beautiful videos to us. Some of us have so little. But knowing that I can watch this makes me feel wealthy.

[@forestyforest]

Thank you so much 😊

[@kayakerpaddler2023]

All your videos are awesome, but these last couple have been just so amazing. It’s such a joy to see the beauty of these wild places, to know they still exist, and to see the big smile on your face makes me smile too! It blows me away to see Rocko traveling all these miles with you! What a fantastic companion! Thank you for taking us along…so much joy!!!

[@susanlewis1875]

I'm just going to pretend I didn't read ahead and see that my thoughts are already shared by others. Ahem. I never thought I could get so much enjoyment from watching someone else walk. Maybe it's because you have such great videography skills and personal insight. And a phenomenal hiking partner. Thank you (again) for bringing us along.

[@nancyhanson3472]

Foresty, you remind me of the Energizer Bunny. No sooner are you finished with a 5 day grueling and epic adventure that most people would take weeks to recover from, and you are off again into the wilderness for 3 more days of trekking in the unbelievably gorgeous Yukon backcountry of Kluane National Park. It appears that Kluane is in your blood!!

The interlude with Rocco...the pic of her in the fluff and her quietly in the tent. I get the feels. I have a pet and we spend so much time together and it is a real bond.
