Hey foresty, i know you love to hike and stuff but dont feel pressured to hike just to make interesting content. Even your "boring" days are ones that many of us wish and dream of. You are already so entertaining by yourself that you could do anything and it would make us happy :)

[@alexmcleod5608]

Agreed, some of your best videos are you just hangin out.

please do a video on all the safety stuff you have in place, from bears to whatever man. Just let us know ur taking right back up steps. Your literally making so many peoples life happy watching ur content and now you gotta be protected like a national treasure or something. 😃✊🏽

Ain't it the truth though

[@Reactaddict]

As I get ready for my 9-5 job, then sitting in traffic , to sit at a desk for 8 hours, then drive back , to do it all again.............I realise what a waste I’m making of my life, all to pay for a house that’ll be too big when I finally own it and retire too old to do anything. I am truly jealous of you Foresty and would give it all up in a flash . You are truly living life. And a great man too. You have my total respect

[@dpheneghan2]

Foresty may not have much money, but he lives richer than just about anybody else on this planet. I feel privileged just to know him through KZbin.

[@JanMarcoccia]

Most definitely

Bryan Meaki I agree! As a former Alaskan, who’s driven the Alcan through the Yukon to the Lower 48 dozens of times, be careful out there! I only saw the bear spray. I hope you’re carrying more protection than that. Please don’t get over confident and stay safe. This vlog was awesome. Loved the “hike”! Thank you!

Everytime you reach a summit and send up the drone I marvel at the views you get to witness and I'm so grateful you brought us along, it reminds me how little my worries really are compared to those gigantic beautiful mountains. But even more than a summit, I'm grateful for your content, any content. We're just along for the ride, don't ever think you have to reach a summit. Seeing you live out a Van life dream, cooking, fishing, sitting by the fire is wonderful too. Just be you and it will always be enough.

[@cmi7439]

Absolutely!!! Very well said.

[@stanle1101]

They usually say "if the water is too clear then there will be no fish". But God damn that pond water is crystal clear, and with the background mountains and trees it's like you're in a painting.

[@stanle1101]

@wayouttatune2 Haha it's a metaphorical saying. It means that if there's not a little incentive (aka corruption) then nobody will want to be involved. I was joking.

[@tbostrowski6136]

Hey Forestry, I spent the early part of my working life in factories, don’t ever go back buddy, it has crushed the spirt of millions of others. You have found your path, stay on it man. Really love the videos and Im spreading the word, but its hard to get someone excited by saying a guy lives and travels in his minivan and does some amazing slow cooker meals while he rides his fat bike to mountain climbs. But once they actually see one of your youtube videos they subscribe :) You have gift of storytelling my friend. Be safe, keep a journal, write a book.

Your my hero Forest. I mean it. I dont have enough words to express. Know this Forest....... You are reaching people in a very positive way. You have a way about you. I am a subscriber of course and its plain to see in the comments the positive affect you are having on many of us. Many of us are stuck at home right now with alot of KZbin time on our hands or were just dealing with the woes the unfortunate circumstances of today are dealing us.. Many of us want to be doing what you are doing! Ha ha. It's very refreshing and uplifting to see you out there doing what you do. I know that I am always waiting to see your next adventure.

This is the best van life you tube channel by far. I'm kitting out a ford e250 for a peakbagging road trip to colorado, and i think this channel by far has influenced me. I just want to climb mountains. I think the van is gona be awesome. I love long distance trails and bike touring but i want to be able to come back to the van and pull some salad and meat outa the fridge after a hard day of hiking or biking!!!

[@mon8232]

Us: How do you motivate and challenge yourself? Foresty: Well, it's snow easy task. If you can bear with me, I'll stream my progress. Bit of a slow-burner, but summit to do with a fat bike, a lean guy, some trail mix...but I won't drone on about it. Basically, panoramic vs pandemic, every which way you van.

[@wikrambhagwandin7632]

Foresty, man, you are awesome! Your van is like true Hi-Tech...all the stuff you have inside, that heavy duty Li-Ion battery , induction cooking in a van in the middle of nowhere!!!! All custom built by yourself? Your really know your way around the camping life, with technology making it comfortable! What an adventures you experience! Keep up the good life!

[@npkirb]

If you ever get tired of climbing mountains, you should start a mobile pop up “slow cooker” restaurant from your van. Seeing those ribs sizzling over the fire... I’d pay money to eat your food haha, cheers mate happy trails!

That scene at 3:08 made me have to pause the video and stare in awe, I audibly said holy shit. Dude your channel is one of the greatest on KZbin, someday I hope to be brave like you and travel all over the world. Much love friend, stay safe and have fun! Edit: Just finished watching the whole thing, that shot at 12:06 left me literally speechless. Honestly this entire video kept my jaw on the floor, my from the scenery to the cooking. I was literally eating my dinner and I couldn't help but feel hungrier watching you cook haha

The fishing and mountain views are just incredible. So glad you made it back down from the top. I look forward to these so much. Thank you!

Foresty Forest, you gave me a visceral feeling of veritgo when you summitted that peak! When you cut to drone panaroma shots with background music your videos become absolutely mesmerizing to me.

[@richardsellers8556]

Have a great recipe for your ribs. It requires no barbecue sauce. It's a simple marinade 50% butter, 50% beer, a quarter cup of lime juice, garlic salt and Italian seasonings. Marinade the meat for at least 2 hours. You will not need barbecue sauce, because this recipe brings out the flavor of the meat. Really love your videos brah. Have a safe and great 2021.
