[@susanlewis1875]

I know small animals are generally cute, but boy, Baby Rocko was adorable!

[@batsonelectronics]

I had to laugh when Rocko chased after that whole tree you cut apart and was dragging off the road. She sets the bar HIGH for other dogs who only care about branches, she goes for the WHOLE TREE. Rocko has 6 more mountain peaks that I do, and she is just a little puppy.

[@cboyle707]

Wow. That little pup took the mountains like she was made for it. But go easy, she's still very much a baby.

[@mfaizsyahmi]

The vertical layers of rock on the unnamed peak is simply breathtaking. Very hard to fathom how tectonic activity can turn gigantic chunks of rock up on its sides like that. Also that shot of Rocko eating the kibble is cute. I'm a sucker of videos of animals being fed when they were resting. Like "sleep mode" → "nom" → "back to sleep".

[@nanchesca3950]

That was a very cool mountain! I was wondering the same thing, what kind of event caused that!

[@annod6]

i was just thinking that my self

[@dingfeldersmurfalot4560]

Yeah I thought that was awe-inspiring too. Always do when I see that sort of obvious tectonic upheaval. I can understand it just fine, but somehow when I try to actually picture, it starts to seem beyond imagination. I'm more used to thinking of the world in my scale.

[@vikirice]

Not gonna lie. I watch you WAAAY more often just because of Roco. When he was crashed out on your lap after his big hike.......I just can't.

[@canadaauroraborealis3958]

Trouble is, Foresty is a Canadian, and Nixon was never OUR President, so I think his comment was out of line. No American would ever imagine naming a mountain in the USA after a Canadian Prime Minister, even in jest, such as Mount Justin Trudeau, to go along with 2 other peaks nearby already named Communist and Muslim. And for all the non-Canadians out there, Trudeau gets elected with about 40% of the popular vote of those people that DO vote, which is about 60% of the electorate. So there are lots of people who do not like him, especially in the Western Provinces, which outside of Vancouver, Edmonton and Winnipeg almost totally votes moderate conservative.

[@OWCIII1956]

The view from on top of those mountains was amazing dude... Had to stop the video a few times just to take it all in... Good for you and the pup...

[@joelburns3538]

Foresty, I have adopted a pair of Malinois pups, I got some what they call 'Potty Bells'. Its a nylon strap with jungle bells you hang over the door handle. Every time you put Rocko out put her on the lower step and jungle the bells. My Malinois picked up on it in a few days. Pay no attention to the Haters! Haters gonna hate. They pick someone, unload giving themselves a feeling of superiority (they cant get that feeling through their own talents} and move on. Keep up the good work!

[@nedheadwyoming]

Loved this whole adventure. As an old fire lookout myself, really appreciated the last lookout views! You and Rocko are quite a team

I do hope you see my comment because there's no doubt in my mind you'd make a top notch video, giving us technical insight into piloting a drone!!!

Wow, glad I found your channel! Despite all the overstimulation by electronic media nowadays, your content / what you do really resonates with me. I come from the mountains in Europe, it sure is beautiful here, but ..it kind of feels crowded by now. Seeing the vastness of the places you go, the wilderness of Canada, Alaska.., being prepared, self-reliant with your van and your dog and just being out there, exploring. Very inspiring! I also had this urge and drive when I was younger, ..but now feel like drowning in this nonsensical ratrace thats being forced on me :( It's good to see someone, humble and sincere, still going for it.. All the best
