There are those of us who think you pack more enjoyment in a short video than others put in 30 minutes. We like you the way you are!

Feel like this is the only van life channel that’s really genuine. He actually lives in his van, he actually is into hiking and nature, he actually is into diy, he’s actually himself. Most of the other channels just feel like salesmen and women latching onto the van life moniker to milk it for what they can and pitch their Amazon links and wears. Keep it up bro, love ya.

Rocko sneaking a fry is just about the cutest thing ever 🥰

Rocco absolutely earned her doggy patty! And that french fry!

Rocko taking that single fry at the end is so funny to watch. I think she earned it!

The fact that one of the best filmmakers in the world doesn't like to talk on camera speaks volumes. I love the shots showing Rocko being a trooper, she's poetry in motion.

3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes… we love you Foresty! Sometimes the quieter people “speak” things that more talkative people don’t. Keep it up bud!

Foresty, coming from someone else who isn’t a great talker, a little socially awkward, and hates being on camera. I think that’s why you have such a following. Most people don’t want the limelight, and we really appreciate seeing someone “normal” share their life with us.

Foresty + Rocko = The A Team. Best duo ever.

Rocko's leaps are legendary! You can see she's factoring in all the variables beforehand. You surely couldn't have done better for a traveling companion. #Rockostrong

Simon is shy and quiet. Foresty Forrest is a guy who explores and gets outside his comfort zone, to do things we don’t get to. You don’t have to be the KZfaq guy. Just keep being that guy on KZfaq who makes me feel like us. Just a real guy, brave enough to put himself on KZfaq and do what he loves. Thanks for all the content. Stay out of the factories. And keep showing the world the new and the old. The simple and the complex.

If you’re new to Foresty’s channel and have not gone back and viewed all of his videos do yourself a favour and do it. It’s great stuff!

It's one of the reasons I watch . There's not continual chatter but just enough. Rocko...what a CHAMP.

Rocko is such a trooper. 24 miles and she can still sneak a fry off your plate. 100% trouble. 😄

DONT PUT TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON YOURSELF FORESTY. WHATEVER YOU PUT OUT FOR VIDEOS IS ALWAYS A TREAT FOR US VIEWERS 😁😁

You don’t get over 340 thou followers because we want you to be like other KZfaqrs. Please keep true to yourself and continue to share your life, your adventures, and your cooking. Rocko looked pretty spent towards the end of the hike. Glad they had a pup burger for her.

That Rocko is one strong, confident and athletic dog. She follows your example.

Don't worry about the lack of chatter. It's refreshing. That little Rocco is a ball of muscle. What a great trail dog!

The most polite chip steal by a dog in the history of chip steals.

Rocko is starting to be a pro at this. So dang adorable ❤

I'm glad you're not too talkative. It gives your channel a unique vibe that is hard to find elsewhere.

"unless you have a burger for my dog" yeah we actually do. your love for your pooch is awesome. and shes seeing more than most people will!

Once again, thank you and Rocco for taking us along. I wish I could experience one HOUR of no people, vehicles or traffic.

awe wow Rocko, she is like a gazelle with an adventuring heart as large as an elephant. Thank goodness she's as light as a feather and her parking space is the size of a comfortable backpack yet with an adult size appetite. Great companion Foresty, such a bonus to your channel. Thank you for being you.

dont ever wish you were someone else! we love you for being you and the adventures you take us on, and a lot of us probably have a similar personality to you which is also why we enjoy your content so much

Your videos don’t have to be long to be entertaining. They’re enjoyable from the first minute to the last. Stay safe you two 🙏

Quality wins over quantity every time - and you supply that in every video. About 15 mins is the magic mark for me. Not so long as I need to set it aside for later but can jump on it as soon as I sit down for a while. Of course if you want to make more of them - that’s fine by me! 👍🏻

To actually be there in person must be the real deal but I'd say you are doing these places justice by sharing them like you do. Thanks for your effort in taking us for the ride!

Loved Rocko playing tug of war with your trekking pole😅😅 And so polite just stealing one of your french fries.

Foresty, you never repeat yourself. The others repeatedly repeat themselves.

This 13 minutes was more rewarding than an hour full of nothing memorable. I can't tell which of you two have more energy! Thanks again for taking us along for the ride.

You do not need to change a single thing about yourself or your videos dude, they are perfect exactly as they are. Honestly the longer ones get tedious and are mostly hot air. Just keep doing you!

Rocko stealing a fry was so cute. That hike looked awesome

Lmao when Rocco grabbed that fry I almost died Frosty and Rocco are a great Duo

What an adventure! Rocko is so coordinated the way she leaps from rock to rock..Rocko is a good name for her.. Glad you both had your burgers. You deserved them. Your videos are perfect. We love every minute.

Don't change a thing about video length. Your videos are visually dense and your narration is enough to let us know what is going on. Its so easy to maintain interest from beginning to end. Keep on doing what you are doing. Oh yes, and Rocko is great! a great addition.

Foresty... we love your videos as is.... no need to talk more than you already do .. totally understand.. you can use the scenery to fill in for longer periods :) appreciate your sharing these adventures with those of us (esp. me) who prolly will never get where you and even Rocko have been and will continue to go. btw.. nice of you to treat him to that burger, then he took fries.. lol so cute... anyhow, hope whatever health issues you are working out, pray all will be well and you keep safe and warm.. God bless you both!!!!!

Forest my man, ya did it again! Every single video you put out is a journey into the unknown that I am always excited to go on! I have a physical disability that limits what I can do to an extent so I love following people such as yourself because it allows me to experience something I may not get to otherwise 😊 keep on keeping on P.S. Rocko is the absolute bestest doggo

Dude, This video is exactly why I keep coming back. You are out there poking life in the eye. It feels like an honour to be along on the adventure with you. I had that burger at Nemo's a long time ago. It tasted good then but I hadn't hiked for 10 hours. Yours must have been amazing.

Don’t worry about the length of your videos, all your videos are the best thing on KZfaq.

You’re an absolute legend Foresty! Laughed as Rocko helped pull you along 🏞 she’s the perfect hiking dog 👍

It's amazing. Rocko did so well. For every step you took, she took four.

Great hike Foresty. Don't apologize for not talking so much....many You-tubers ruin great scenery with excessive talking or awful unsuitable music. Your imagery, music and words are just fine. Keep doing what you're doing mate. As others have said, you are very genuine and take us all to places many of us will never see. And say G'Day to Rocco for me too.. Stay safe.

I'm going to echo everyone else here; we're here to see your journey, however much of it you share is up to you. We're just glad to be included! And as far as speaking, everyone is their own worst critic. You're just different, that's not a bad thing. Your channel feels REAL, not like a clickbait infomercial.

12min videos are plenty. Keepin' it real as ever. 👍

The dynamic duo on another adventure.... Thanks for taking us along.

It’s funny, for a few months now I’ve consistently admired how precise you are with your words. Quality over quantity. No “ums, ahs, ers.” You’re right on point. Same goes with your amazing footage.

You are without a doubt the most well liked KZfaqr by just being yourself. Keep on being "you".

Little Rocko seriously has the best life ever. :)

Thanks! Your scenery says so much. You don't need to talk a lot. They tell the story really well. And now with Rocco there's almost two stories being told.

You talk just the right amount and a few minutes of zen with you beats 30 minutes of hype-chatter, hands down!

Don't worry about the length of the videos or the amount of chatter. We who have watched you for a while know how you are, and we watch because you're you. Also, channels like @Swedwoods do just fine without any chatter at all.

Rocko the Rocket! She looks like she's the perfect hiking companion for you! So freakin' cute too! You chose well!

So cool to see how stoked Rocko is. What a life she is living, incredible experiences for this dog.

That dog is so dog gone cute! We love Utah. Greatest hiking ever. The video length is perfect. Just the right amount of talking, too.

You do you … length is NOT an issue :). Holy Cow, the hike … not just the distance, but I think you did more than the hike distance with camera placement/retrieval. At any rate, THANK YOU!! There is so much crappy stuff in the news and then I come here and just enjoy and am thankful that there are people like you (and Rocco) to remind me of all of the beauty and kindness. Cheers - the burger looked delicious and Rocco getting that fry … priceless.

I think your videos are perfect as they are. You don't talk too much and not too little. In some of these longer videos from other YTers, they repeat themselves ad nauseam. I feel I get much more from your videos than from many others. I do also appreciate the historical info you sometimes add, like today the stuff about the telephone line and the Boulder Mail Trail.

Loved the episode. Packed the 13 minutes full of goodness. The highlight of this video is Rocko stealing the french fry at 10:32.

A good cup of coffee is one of life’s pleasures! Especially when paired with a cinnamon roll. 😊 This hike was epic! I didn’t think there would be so much water in the bottom of those canyons. Got a little worried that you and Rocco might get hypothermia. Glad you made it all the way. The two of you are real troopers. Your videos are the perfect length, with the perfect amount of music, voice, and gorgeous scenery. Thank you!

Authenticity. True appreciation for Earth, solitude and experience. Incredible man. Thank you for filming and sharing with Us. I love this guy.

So I guess I'm an emotional guy who loves his dogs and Rocko. When the burger lady said "actually we do" I kinda choked up a tiny bit. Keep it up Forrest, Rocko, thanks.

Rocko don't miss a beat man! She's always right there in the thick of it

The videography in your videos blows every other van life channel out of the water so please dont change! You might not be a natural talker but what you do say is worth listening too, your sense of humour is top notch too! 👍🏻

Your pictures are worth a thousand words !! Love to watch Rocko blast ahead of you !! Your short or long videos are always great to watch !!

Wow, Rocko is a lean-mean missile dog and you finished this loop in just 10.5 hours? Amazing. Thanks for taking the time to record it just for us.

I think I've watched all your videos to date.... Took some time but I did it... You totally rock Brother.. Stay safe out there on your wicked awesome adventures!

A good burger is one of Man's great satisfactions. Stay safe and healthy and happy out there, you two.

The quality of your videos, the stunning scenery, and the epic adventures make a great enough presentation already. No need to try and stretch them, they're already top notch 👍👏

I'm here for Rocko.

Rocko stealing fries is the cutest thing

The trails you take us on and the effort to record it all is exceptional! Don't worry about length or different content, because you and Rocko are unique .

Wow-Rocko’s agility is incredible.

Beautiful country, appreciate you taking us along...24 miles. You both are troupers!

Awww, Foresty...this video was perfectly....perfect. I enjoyed every second of your very long hike. You earned every single one of those delicious calories. 😋 Rocko enjoyed hers too. Perfect celebratory meal. Thank you for everything. You look so happy and content. 👍

Watching Rocko leap and bound over the streams makes me heartsick but happy...just said goodbye to my beloved Aussie, Bindi, who was an outdoor wonderdog all her life. We would always fight for the leash (a necessary evil in many parks) because she would pull you up hills. Whenever we could have her off leash she would lead on the trails then go back and wait for the last hiker in line making sure you were safe.

You are an incredible videographer and drone video pilot. And a loving dog owner,. That scenery was worth thehamburger and kudos for getting Rocco one too!

Thank you Foresty, and puppy. Please continue to do you. You are perfect.

That long hike and the double cross the streams for video content was very impressive.

Rocky is such a trooper! What a great life for a dog and awesome partner for you!

I have to say that Rocko is a formidable hiking companion that’s for sure!! 💪🏼💕🐶

The length of your videos are perfect. Love seeing Roscoe

Foresty, I am always amazed at how you continuously challenge yourself physically on your expeditions. 38 kilometers or 24 miles in one very long hike, with most of it slogging through water is unbelievable! I imagine that you and Rocko were both probably quite tired at the end that day! Thanks for including the views of the petroglyphs in "Death Hollow". I have always found petroglyphs to be fascinating. They make me wonder about the people who created them, and what they were trying to express. Great job!

Keep being you man! I love that you have a KZfaq career as an introvert. Just keep having fun and we will have fun watching it!! You are an amazing content creator and have impeccable taste in adventure

Please don't forget to hit that like button, he is well worth it !!

Hey Foresty, love your videos! Been following you for 2-3 years now. A quick suggestion from a marketer - bundle up all your past (and future) videos into KZfaq playlists. For example, based on location (Alberta Rockies, Utah etc.) or have other types of categories, like van build etc and have these individual videos link to the whole playlist on the upper right corner or a card at the very end of the video on the right side of the new patreon supporters list. There are quite a few people using your videos as a go-to guide, and if they're going to BC for example, a playlist of all the locations you've frequented would be amazing! A lot of these videos contain really valuable information on what to look out for, where to go etc. It's quite time consuming, but it's maybe a couple of days' work that might pay dividends in the long run (more views, since people are being guided to the next video at the end of the one they're watching and it's all relevant fo them). Or you can pay someone overseas to do it, it's pretty simple (but somewhat time consuming nevertheless) and shouldn't be too expensive. Anyway, stay healthy and keep spoiling us with some of the best content on KZfaq, no joke! Take care!

Cool hike. Rocko steals the show. What a trooper- she just motors along and steals french fries.

At 8:12: Rock [Wilted expression while wading in water] "Dude, what do you think I am a Labrador Retriever??" LOL

A few minutes to watch your adventures is fun and I really appreciate what you present to us. I love your content. Doesn't matter that you're a quiet guy, your videos speak volumes. Keep being you!

I like seeing true joy lol that looked like one darn tasty cinny bun, Forest! Give Rocko a pet for us all! Love your videos!!

It's always been quality over quantity with you Foresty. You're vids are among the best on KZfaq. Your natural self doing what you do is what we all enjoy as you can see from the comments below. Thank you.

No need to talk much, the visual story is so satisfying. Silence is golden.

such fabulous scenery, thanks for taking us along. Rocco is becoming an ace climber, loved to see her getting about.

You are great at keeping the talking down to just the important info.. Thank You for the videos

To be the person you are is the best you can be. No need to change.

From one introvert to another: you’re very entertaining just as you are. Thanks for another great video. Also, awww poor Rocko in the water 😂

Dance monkey dance, and you sure do! Rocko is just amazing to watch, what a dog! Thank you again! What a trip and quite a pace when you are capturing all along! These are so relaxing to watch! And you get addicted to coffee about 10-20 cups a day, done that and regred it! Now I mainly drink Tea only!

Thank you Simon and Rocko. Your adventures brighten my day. What a great team you have become. May God bless 🙏🙏💞

I think your videos are just the right length. I appreciate the format you've created

I would rather your shorter videos w epic scenery, an honest man testing himself, respective Nature, leaving a place better than he found it and sharing it all w his intrepid side kick over a talkative, got to be me in the camera lens over Nature any day! You put so much into one video, doesn’t matter that you are shy and don’t like to talk. Your vjdeos are epic! You do you and we love you for it!

Life is busy, and I appreciate that you don't put out super long videos like some content creators. You're great as you are!
