No matter what mountain sport you practice. Having a “nah I’m good” in your pocket can save your life haha

I was relieved to hear Foresty say that!

@@rouxchat6033 me too!

This comment was at the top of the pile when I started watching, and I'm wondering what it's all about....I get it now: definitely - nah, I'm good!!

He's responsible for his life but also Rocco. So good call. Actually as an approach to life "nah, I'm good" is a great philosophy. It would have saved me from a lot of hardship just to say that.

It's been hard to watch Rocko in these summit videos. It's borderline in humane to put a half asleep in your pocket so you can say you summited a mountain with your dog. This is not fun for a dog. This has bothered me for week. So I can say I've never been more disappointed in FF.

I see a loved, happy, active pup who loves the outdoors. When she gets tired or cold, she gets to hitch a ride with her beloved human. Her needs are met and her life is full of adventure. And if it was just about the summit, he would simply have pushed past that ridge. It seems we see things through a different lens. Be well.

When I saw that long fall down I said "nooo thank you!" 😬 @Loren The Alchemist I kinda agree with that, in the sense that maybe he should leave Rocko out of the hardest summits. But I wouldn't say it's borderline in humane. It only is if your reference in humane is a pampered house dog. Rural dogs live tougher lives and are almost always happier and healthier than any city dog, as long as their owners take some precautions against extreme conditions, which Foresty seems to be doing. I've seen both cared for and neglected dogs in the country. But don't take my word for it, the best indicator is the dog itself and Rocko seems to be just fine for now.

@@lorenthealchemist3515 so he's half asleep In his jacket. At least he's not cold and he's protected inside the jacket being warm and resting. Her situation could be so much worse. She could be neglected, abused, starved, there's many much worse situations she could be in other than being sleepy inside her owners warm jacket...

@Loren The Alchemist Rocko seems to be loving her life including lots of activity and quality time with her dad. Forest is attuned to if she's getting tired or cold, and she's perfectly content to snuggle up in his jacket. No way would a dog rather be left behind alone instead of on a well supervised adventure.

I so agree. And hopefully there are some young jocks who can learn from this kind of decision making.

I thought the exact same thing!

Yetti lives in az her name is karen

If anyone could stumble into a Sasquatch it definitely would be Forrest lol 👣

I thought about screaming! Yikes, and I'm fearless.....

🤣 That was the Jack Link's sasquatch.

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

Good one 😂😂😂🐕❤️

😂😂😂😂

It wasn't about skill level, it was about risk vs reward. Too risky just for a summit.

Hello how are you doing?

Hello how are you doing?

Yes, I so appreciate the freedom from hype and bravado. Foresty is brave and skilled but also has wisdom and good sense. I just can't listen to those channels where there's a lot of loud macho hype.

Noon

Same!

Pretty much sums up my evening entertainment.

Agreed.

Me too

@K P 😢

Yes, when he walks off ahead and Rocko is following behind having fun exploring, he isn't able to keep a close eye on him when Rocko is behind, and these predators are very fast and could easily grab Rocko and there would be a little chance of rescuing him😢

@@1jackvalley580 Luckily predators wont come at humans most of the time, especially if they are making noise like Foresty is. I think Rocko is close enough to him and he has pepper spray in case something happens.

I used to have three Jack Russell Terriers and took them hiking and biking in the mountains for many years. One time I was with them on a trail, two of them were older now. One was going deaf and the other was losing her vision, the third was young and healthy. I kept a close eye on them, but my deaf boy was behind a ways. I looked back to see a coyote sneaking up on him. Thankfully I was able to chase it away. I met a woman coming down the trail and she told me a friend's dog was attacked by coyotes on that trail. You really have to be careful.

@@mountainwench7763 😲

Ditto!!!

LOL

Hello how are you doing?

The video is full of amazing shots.

Seeing Foresty traverse areas I'll never be able to in this life, is both scary an thrilling.

It is a typical scene anywhere in Canada's Rocky Mountains, from the foothills of western Alberta to the "Rocky Mountain Trench" (its real name) in British Columbia. The "Trench" is a deep valley averaging 750 meters / 2500 feet above sea level, the towns of Valemount, Golden, and Cranbrook are located in it. It is visible from 3:00 to 3:15, recognizable due to its depth, width, and extensive wetlands in the bottom of it. The Columbia River Mountains are in the distance looking west, as extensive as the Rockies in Canada and only slightly less high and jagged, they have a denser forest with bigger trees in the valleys, it is the world's only inland temperate rainforest, and there are some really huge and long valley lakes in that range, most accessible by quiet and secluded paved roads running along the lakeshores. Diadem Peak is located in the Columbia Icefield region in the heart of Canada's Rockies, I always pronounced it die-a-dem, similar to diamond, which is what it looks like under a sunny sky from the nearby Banff-Jasper Highway

Yeah, what an epic shot. Needs framing. 😊

Athabasca River headwaters, Jasper National Park. In the far distance is located Athabasca Pass, which early explorers in the early 1800's, partly motivated by the hideous fur trade, crossed repeatedly for 50 years to the Columbia River headwaters, and then sometimes followed that river 2000 km / 1200 miles to its mouth at Fort Astoria, Oregon Territory, in the future western USA. There is even a small river near Athabasca Pass in Jasper named after that Fort, the Astoria River. Fort Astoria was named for the founder of the Pacific Fur Company, John Jacob Astor, his company was later involved in the building of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, among other things, but that he and others got rich from the horribly brutal fur trade is reprehensible.

Hello 👋 dear how are you doing?

yes, but I missed seeing you dig into a hot meal at the end!

I agree better every upload!

Hello how are you doing?
