Van Life in Alberta - Reverse Camera Install - Ninja Foodi Granola

[@ericlewis3444]

Even your inside the van videos are better than most of the content in youtube. You keep at it, Foresty Forest.

[@forestyforest]

Thanks Eric, glad you enjoyed!

[@chriscosnick6372]

one camera has lines the other one does not

[@bonniepwtf]

I agree, Forest always delivers

[@thomasnew8606]

Because he is being himself and not trying to be fake and get more fake views (fake is the problem with most social media). We all need to support people that use youtube or social media as it was originally intended. like in America how fake people (democrats are trying to take over)...but I digress

[@darrellcaruk8880]

Totally agree. We have to keep him out of the factory. I miss hearing him say that.

[@grinpick]

FF likes to mess with us a little. In an old episode he mentioned bigfoot early in the video. Then later he fixed the camera on some bushes about thirty yards away saying he thought he heard something. After a suitable pause, sure enough, a large hairy biped jumped into the frame with an explosive grunt-growl. This was mild by comparison. But bigfoots are notoriously reclusive and I'd never seen one before, so I didn't mind being startled. It was worth it.

[@emk6675]

I had to pause the video to have a discussion with the roommate about your constantly improving video production. I never thought watching someone back over kids would be so damn funny! Thanks for the laughs.

[@peterward5251]

I think we need a counter for every time Forest says “Oout” in his Canadian accent. I’m pretty sure that an angel gets it’s wings every time he says out.

[@jordansaintemarie]

Breakfast idea: make some quickbreads in the instant pot. All you need is any flour of your choice, eggs, and oil (I use coconut). From there I usually add maple syrup and anything else I want like frozen berries or cocoa powder or carrot pulp. Needs 45 mins to an hour in the pressure cooker. Look up a quick bread recipe and make it your own!

[@elbybrook9466]

That was a good episode. Start calling you Funny Forest.

[@PeaceMeBish]

My favourite go-to breakfast is chopped potatoes and sweet potatoes. I fry them up in my air fryer. Sometimes I also fry up some onions (in a separate pan). I add poached eggs that I make in my instant pot. I top it off with a mixture of mayo, horseradish and Sriracha, and sometimes green onions if I have them.

[@tranquilitybase6417]

I love how you casually work in an area with a beautiful Mountain View. Like nuthin’.

[@Inlinetodie]

Easily the most functional and practical build I've seen in any Van overlander. Really like it, easy to clean, manage and 4x4 with the long range setup, you've done really good man.

[@forestyforest]

Thanks!

[@eddiemoir2572]

Long range setup ? Pffffff

[@clarkleakins879]

Your mini van was like a small efficiency apartment. Now you have a cabin on wheels. Just like a larger home, it can require more maintenance, more $ to operate. The cost benefits are acceptable. Keeping the world updated, even when you are not trekking, is quite enjoyable. Many people live vicariously with you.

It's a great dream if you like to be isolated away from people or avoid having a relationship. Must get pretty lonely if you ask me, especially if you want to be intimate with someone. The one positive side is that he doesn't have to punch a time clock to make ends meet, like the rest of us suckers have to do :(

[@jmendozas197]

@@TMGMedia73 Yes, that is a great point. I feel like this lifestyle would only suit independent people who don’t need a spouse to be happy. I still feel like he’s living a great life based off the revenue he’s getting from KZbin and Patreon supporters. Considering he doesn’t have to pay rent and other utilities, I’m sure he is very well off, and won’t need an actual job anytime soon, especially with how quickly his channel is growing. Still, the fact that he drives around and goes exploring different places for a living, is quite the dream.

[@D.D.T.123]

Everyone’s dream is personal. He is living his as he wishes to. Besides how do you know he lacks intimacy in his life. We are all dreaming with Foresty through his videos. I wouldn’t mind my cable bill if it included and helped support the Foresty channels.

The back up camera is a great idea and, makes easier to back up a van with. Just make sure you don't hit any kids or deer in the back country, their everywhere, lol.

[@PixelShade]

for breakfast I can highly recommend overnight oats: - add oats, raisins, chia seeds, cinnamon, cardamom in a bowl cover in oat/almond/cashew milk. - soak it overnight / or 30 minutes in the morning if you are lazy bastard like me. - add apples. mix together, top off with roasted pumpkin seeds, nuts etc... It's like a non-sugary moist apple pie. No sugars, a healthy dose of omega-3 from the chia seeds, and proteins from the oats and pumpkin seeds. you also get good fibers for the digestive system from the oats, apples and raisins! :) Bonus is that unopened oatmilk can stay in room temperature and usually last a year or 6 months. it's a great thing to just have in the van for long term storage, survival food etc. also great If you stay extended periods of time in the outbacks.
