Ah, so that explains the absense of the theme song all this while. It was the crock pot who sings it!

[@jamesbenda6670]

A new plate and a new crockpot, plus two meals, a rural and urban adventure. That's a lot for one episode. Thanks, man. It's nice watching. Much joy to you and R.

[@dapacreative]

And the greatest intro ever!

[@ballisticdan9135]

Well said. I feel spoilt.

That "plate" looks curiously like a bucket lid.

You call that a plate, this is a plate...!!!

[@chrisrio3650]

A good meat rub too

[@m73m95]

So, those guards (or whoever stopped you from sleeping in the parking lot) were absolutely right. Circus Circus is a horrible place to be after dark. There's a reason you were alone in that parking lot! I've lived in Vegas for nearly 20 years, and the North side of the Strip, behind the casinos, is one of those places you just don't go. You didn't get caught as much as you got some helpful advice!

[@eddiewalker7252]

Just park behind Bally's with all the other trucks and RVs!

[@shuriKen469]

just in case i ever drive down to Vegas and find myself around that area as the beautiful desert sun sets, what's the worst that could happen?

[@TannaSloan]

So true. My grandparents used to camp there in their RV in the 90s but no way in hell anyone should stay there now

[@johnwyliejr347]

Either Henderson, Nelson, or Eldorado Lake Bed would be a better option than Vegas Strip. Lived here since 1986, I avoid Circus Circus and the Strat area at all times.

[@lennybrewster4673]

​@@shuriKen469 there's some videos on here that kinda show it at night. You have a lot of drug addicts down that way, many of whom can be pretty violent. There's some gang activity and other things you just don't want to be in the vicinity of. Tourists are primary targets on those backstreets.

[@beermarc]

[@expatyankee]

What a crazy fun episode! A Foresty van with a Las Vegas backdrop, a crockpot, on top of a van out in the wilderness with an extension cord, and a guy who can’t cook rice yet puts together the most amazing dinner to go on top of the rice package.

[@twiglet2214]

I said to Mrs Twiglet " Simon's taking a gamble - stealth camping in Las Vegas ! " she replied " I'll give you ten to one he gets busted ! " The two lessons Mr Twiglet taught us are 1) Jack Russell's love jumping on tables 2) Jack Russell's eat everything in sight - literally. Without realizing the danger, about two Christmas's ago we left a chocolate reindeer where he could get it - he bit the head off - foil and all and we spent Christmas night at the vets having him treated and parted with £260 in the process ! They're high energy dogs as you say and when i was upstairs practicing my keyboard he wanted to come up - Mrs Twiglet said " He wants to be with you " even though there was a comfortable bed for him to jump on to.I'm afraid we're attached as they say.Love him to bits.

[@annamitchell7448]

In my opinion, Rocko is so attached to you that if you left her for a few months, she would be heartbroken. She wouldn't understand the separation. Merry Christmas to you and I am glad you are enjoying your visit in the States. Give Rocko a special treat for me. Love you and the wonderful Rocko!!

[@bearofthenorth7768]

Rocko needs a lot of exercise and running to keep him calm.

[@bonzig54]

You know , when I watch your videos pre Rocko I find myself instinctively looking for her. She's added another layer of joy to your adventures.

[@DeannaAllison]

Me too! If she doesn't appear right away I start worrying if she's OK - then suddenly there she, is adding joy to another brilliant video.

Honestly, the channel was getting pretty stale the year or so before Rocco came on board. Rocco single handedly has revived my interest in this channel.

[@1jackvalley580]

Rocko is a little girl

[@maryannanderson2213]

I agree that Rocko is blessed with a lot of energy but for sheer running ability I don't think I've ever seen anything better than Andrew Camarata's dog Cody. Andrew goes cruising around his mountain top and Cody runs in front of him blazing a trail. He should be a greyhound.

Foresty the slacker. Pre-cooked rice, no fried onions in sour milk batter with the pulled pork sandwich. It's a slippery slope to Skip the Dishes. Great vid, bro. The second coming of the crock pot...it's like Rocky II. I remember back in the day in one of your vids you said you owed so much of the success of your channel to the crock pot...I agree. New plate. Van roof cookout. Maniac dog running along the edge of the lake. Rubbing your meat. Last vid you said you had a hard time getting 10 minutes of content...this was 19 minutes of non-stop entertainment. Well done, sir...keep 'em coming.

Huge fan of Forest Forest and Rocko. Please dont roast me ........... Rocko seems to be the dominate of the 2.... She is living life on her terms , not sure if its just the breed or Simon just lets her get away with it. The one video I saw when Simon tried to move her off a pillow and she showed her teeth in disapproval , or when she just helps herself to Simons food , not to mention the constant mooching is a sure sign. None of my business , just saying in IMHO a dog needs to know his or her place other wise the dog will have less respect for the owner. Everybody with a dog will have a different view. THATS JUST ME.

After four years of living in a van, I finally have a plate, so that's something to get excited about. You crack me up Foresty! Loved the adventure to Vegas in this one!

[@RMJ1984]

It's some good life advice as well, so many people, buy stuff because they think they need it, or because someone else has it. You even see it with many vanlifers as well, trying to fit a regular home with all their stuff into a van. I mean if you can do without plates, that's less baggage to haul around. Although i do admit, one plate seems like a nice thing to have.

Glad you seem to have made it safely in Vegas, higher than average number of bad people with nothing to lose and up to no good in that place.

[@arieakaarto]

100% correct on that one I went there towards the end of last year around November when the pandemic restrictions were a little lighter I saw multiple fights in the streets I simply assumed it was because of those pandemic checks that were being given out but apparently it's not gotten much better from what the news reports have said truly unfortunate because not too far from the strip there is some great BLM land with a nice one-way Loop you can ride a bike around or drive around to see the scenery

[@knellwal]

I live here. Bad people everywhere. Also nice people.

[@VanVonGoh]

@@knellwal More good then bad, people just remember the bad ones better for some reason

[@arieakaarto]

@@VanVonGoh 💯 I had a great time there for the most part to be honest it's easier to remember the bad stuff but considering the amount of people that were there and the fact that I only saw a couple of fights it's overall not that bad just worse than it used to be five or six years ago but if someone was young asking me about it I would tell them go check it out for yourself just be safe

[@msnoonan]

I stealth camped in a casino parking lot once and nobody bothered me. Big difference from your attempt however. I did it during the height of the pandemic in 2020 and the casino in West Wendover, Nevada was closed. Plus I was in a mini-van with no outward signs of being a camper van. I was still spooked by all the empty parking spaces, so from then on I stealth camped exclusively in chain motel parking lots where I was a bit more comfortable as the lots were generally at least half full overnight.

[@dwarren1010]

The trick with cooking rice is coat the rice in oil or butter. Cook up the rice in pan for minute or two. Cover with water and boil until all water is absorbed. There's good videos on KZbin
