This guys really LIVING LIFE out of his van like a boss.

The guy at the end recognized you?! Watch out, he could be there to steal your secret ice cream! 😅

as a truck driver i lived with those diesel heaters for years in the truck sleeper cab. they are quiet and comfortable and it's so nice to shut the big engine off and get a good quiet sleep. ours were Espar heaters. Webasto are just as good from what i hear. they will keep a semi sleeper warm down to about -20 centigrade. or if you close the curtain to the cab about -30 centigrade, but then you have a cold cab in the morning. you will never use them enough to 'wear anything out' ; on the contrary it is good to run them monthly for an hour or so all during the summer to lubricate the pumps and seals and blow the dust out. it wouldn't hurt to find a small bottle of diesel fuel conditioner for very cold temperatures. it really doesn't matter what brand as long as you improve the cetane rating (similar to octane in gasoline). these heaters work by spraying diesel fuel on a tiny red hot glowpin and the higher quality the fuel the more likely it is to ignite. since you have the fuel tank inside the cab it should not cause you cold weather problems. it's such a beautiful sound to hear the flame kick in like a little tiny jet engine as you settle in for the evening.

He raises his arm in triumph as he approaches... again to his footsteps that he made when he set up the camera. It’s tough doing everything alone good job retreading in all your vids.

when i first encountered this guy--and with that accent--i said: this isnt for me. But charm takes many forms and he sucked me in and now i need my weekly foresty forest fix.

Haha, great Canadian car wash there close to the end! Dude your videos are amazing, those hikes are fantastic.

Amazing summit captures...thanks

You're definitely one of a kind and I love seeing your videos pop up when I get on KZfaq. You definitely keep me going and give me great ideas to spare. Keep on doing what you're doing, you're an inspiration and entertainer to everyone who is a fan, and those who aren't! 👍💪

Hey FF. Great work. You have inspired me to do the same. Unfortunately I would only be a weekend warrior due to work up in Edm. Be safe out there. ✌️🇨🇦 "whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god".

I kept watching your content for a while now without commenting. Just wanna say you're living the dream and I really envy your vanlife and the way you converted it. I lived in a truck camper for a year but the setup was cheap and always had problems with the truck or camper. Nice videos, keep going!

great demonstration of the start up power. That is a great example of the headroom required in an electrical circuit, especially with motors and not "squeezing power" out of a circuit.

Don't worry about the diesel fuel it's not explosive and burns really slowly if ignited.

Thanks, really appreciate the detailed info on the diesel heater! Enjoy the mountains.

I was watching one of your older videos when you first got into van life and wow not only do you look happier you look healthier and your van is 👌

i am subscribed to dozens of channels but this is my favourite one

Thanks for sharing. Was interested in the diesel heater but knew you get around to explaining. Beautiful scenery! Be careful out there.

Thanks for the snow trip . Im in Southern Arizona it got down to 58 last night , almost froze to death . Happy trails Foresty Forest .

*Your very knowledgeable in many fields I must say, great stuff!*

Wow, that scenery is magnificent! I also like how you refer 2 a part of your van as "the garage area". 👍 Be good or be good @ it. ✌

I love your attitude to life, God bless you brother.

Ya know I have little use for a diesel heater but it was interesting none the less 👍 Fantastic job with the van and kudos for sharing so many amazing things with everyone. I look forward to and greatly enjoy the content. Safe travels and be well.

12:46 Moose licking. You come back from a hike and wonder why your car looks so clean.

You are doing it amazing! Congratulations on your way of life and how you enjoy life. More people like you please!

Beautiful Views!! Thank U for taking me along with you on your journey!! Only way I will see it cuz I have major spinal disabilities.....So Thanks Again!!.....U made my day 😁👍💕

Epic shots up in the mountains. Awesome.

Thanks for all the details about the diesel heater. Peace.

Subscribed. What awesome, detailed videos, and what amazing things you do.

Hi fella hope all is well with you. Just been looking back at all your videos. Fantastic! Keep safe! Thanks.

Definitely need to get one of these if I ever go up to Alaska. Great review. Thanks.

I came to see the heater but I got to see the beautiful views. Amazing how one can get to those heights by oneself and not be scared.

one of the best devices i bought last year, easily in the top 3. i plan to order a replacement pump, glow plug and control head next week

Dude, you are a machine with those summits! Amazing!

Your "freebase protein powder" comment had me laughing out loud! Happy New Year!

Chad great winter videos and the new sprinter van so nice

Great vids man, keep em coming...

I bought one of those diesel heaters for my 5'x10' cargo trailer conversion. I got the all-in-one version for simpler install. It'll be used as a dorm room for my son in northern New Hampshire, so -25F will be common in Jan / Feb. We'll see how it goes.

Good stuff! Thanks. Keep 'em coming. 🤙🏻

IM TRYING TO CONTROL IT, BUT MY ENVY FOR UR BIKING AND HIKING JAUNTS EXHILARATE!! THE CONTAINED VEHICLE IS SUPREME!!

Crazy running into Foresty Forest. Argentina is waiting for you 💪

Your videos are beautifully done and a lovely story but you've done very well and I do worry about your safety. I love the end though when the guy comes and recognises you brilliant 👏

Just catching up on your vids..I remember when you were buiding van well done nice

Great video, I’ve been thinking about installing one of these heaters gonna look into it some more thanks.

31k great job been here for awhile stay warm and safe

it makes me happy to see you enjoying canada.

That was a cool video! Love your van and the stuff you did to it! If i was back at the 20 to 30 year mark.. I might consider this...Hmmmm?

Amazing views! Great video! Thanks for posting!

Excellent video, informative and adventurous. Thanks 🙏!

breathtaking summit footage :)

Goodonyah. Washboard, we call corrugations and Australia is full of them when you travel away from the crowds. Glad to hear the diesel heater is working well. We love ours but now we wish for airconditioning as temperature 35-42 Celcius.

Wow, a great move on that Diesel Heater. Now, I want one for my camper. Nice hiking trails pal, you do get around. You get hurt you're on your own out there. Have a emergency backup plan. Hey, try pulling some trout out of those streams and fry up with some potatoes and corn. While trout fishing I use whole corn for the bait too. I bet your mom taught you everything about cooking meals … Good knowing how to cook for sure.

Really inspiring, thanx for posting. I've wondered how those parking heaters work in higher altitudes.

That trail is awesome! I would love to do that!!

Great vids Forest. Thnx

Dude, you absolutely rule

Wow, what an inspiration you are. Great video!

Lol guy skateboarding at 1:20

Another great video, as usual. 👌

Amazing hike dude!

That's quite a view you've got over your shoulder there. And I thought I was cold down here in Oregon, lol. Good luck with the job prospects. No one can accuse Canadians of being candy asses.

Sick summits

Your the best Forest, you do do some hiking, stay safe man

Loved the moose!

I’m pretty sure these Chinese manufacturers will gift you some if you send this video to them, very useful and works like a charm

Thanks for more diesel heater chat

Sounds like a little jet engine when it starts. That’s cool.

It's like a miniature oil furnace for a house. Heating oil is the same thing except for a dye that is added.

Great video thanks for sharing.

I love your videos! From the beautiful hikes to your culinary skills and knowledge of mechanical products for the van, you have an awesome channel!

Wow the west is beautiful. I need to ascent a summit there one day. You would laugh at what is called a mountain around here. More like a hill when you look at this.

Respect buddy , you are a good example of I dont give a F***k. I love your video's specially your narration big up

Beautiful Scenery! Also thinking about getting a diesel heater to heat a small 10×12 shed/shop.

Love the content man

LoL did you see the guy pulling the other guy on a sled or something with his bike at 1:19 ?

Thanks for the information 😎

Foresty Forest you are one bad, awesome little dude. I've done pro wrestling and cage fighting but I don't have the balls to hike way out and high up in the mountains by myself. What if BIGFOOT chases me? What if I get hurt and I'm all by myself? What if I get lost? You've got courage and you're a unique person and a throwback. I respect the heck out of you.

Smart choice on the which to diesel heater. Get charge isolator for peace of mind.

Thank you so much for sharing your world with us 💖

You are a remarkable young man.

Always great

awesome, mate totally awesome!!

Absolutely amazing !!! the moose 💯

You definitely got one of the sickest rigs on youtube!

So you're officially "KZfaq Famous" now? (Referring to the guy at the end saying hi). If you're not careful they'll be putting your face on Canadian currency before long! ;-) Great video - keep them coming.

Cool stuff man

12:50 Canadian car wash ;)

Frosty Foresty Forest !

Your getting close to Cranbrook 🙂👍 come to the East Kootenays for a visit

Huge thanks to your parents for conceiving and raising a truly wonderful man!! 😅💪😎🌱💕 The moose car wash 😂

That is a ton of heat. I have a Promaster City that is convertible for camping. I've been trying various ways to heat, and have an old Wave 3. It's not vented, which is not ideal. The Wave 3 is 2 or 3 thousand BTU's. Unfortunately, a 5kw heater is around 15,000 BTU. You can be pretty sloppy and just ventilate, I know. I'd have to say your installation is a complete success. It's a sophisticated piece of kit of $200. Wild! Winter in Canada.

Great video. Thanks for the review, this helps a lot. New sub here. Thanks for sharing!

That’s quite the interesting heater. $188 on Amazon (with remote and muffler). Makes sense to install one in your vehicles in cold regions, even if not living in your car. Imagine being stuck on the highway in a blizzard or having engine troubles and you are out of cellphone range. This heater will keep you warm until help has a chance to arrive.

The garage!!🤘🏾🤘🏾

Wow you're like Reinhold Messner!

Hellz yes

That one shot where you are looking down on to a big lake or something looks so familiar. It looks like a scene from a movie. And they were in Canada. I just can't remember the movie

thanks for sharing

Lol that fan at the end too bad you didn’t have a sprinter van or something imagine if you said something like,” come in come in! I’ll put on some tea!”

I’m happy for u

Cheers

You hiked that, and took all the video yourself?!! Awesome views and videography!
