This vid has it ALL; danger, bleakness, beauty, cold, wildlife, bonkers weather, tension and of course the slow cooker. Anyone else would go up there with a 4 wheel drive monster truck and support team. Forest is slaying it right now.

I live outside Atlanta, Georgia USA. There are thousands of lifted, built Jeeps and Trucks crawling around suburban mall parking lots that will never even see .01% of the extreme-duty that FF's Chevy Minivan endures daily. Bunch of posers down here. Foresty bro, I wish you nothing but the best of luck with your videos and talent. I hope you one day become a household name and can live all your dreams to the fullest....although I cant imagine there are too many dreams left that you haven't already experienced. Kepp up the great work man. Good luck in the Tuk.

@@ballisticdan9135 there are millions of canadians across the country who can speak french, but fluency is more likely for those directly from quebec or north-eastern ontario. new brunswick is also officially bilingual with bilingual road signs. my cousins grew up an hour north of edmonton alberta out west and they went to a french immersion high school since their community was historically francophone. up on baffin island in the arctic .. there is a francophone association in iqaluit that hosts a fabulous lunch on fridays that is a big community gathering. the local late nite diner up there is also run by francophones so you can get your poutine fix. officially you are guaranteed service across the country in either official language (all 3 languages in iqaluit), but in practice that is not always fulfilled. however, if you are fluent in both languages, you have a much better chance at getting into a government position, or with the rcmp (the cop referred to in the video was rcmp since they handle territorial policing on contract). so if you meet someone in government service, they are also more likely to be 'fluent' in french, even if it is not their mother tongue.

I'm very introverted and I prefer to be alone most of the time. But watching this made me feel like if I did this I would feel TOO alone. Like if something happened it would be a while before anyone knew. Props to you Foresty..not only do you get to see the beautiful world we share but you get to see it in ways a lot of people can't or would never dare.

I once drove the Dempster in late December. By the time we reached Inuvik the highway closed behind us with no telling when it will open again. We got a phone number to the Highway crew and we were checking several times a day for updates. Twice we jumped in the car only to find out that the barrier closed by the time we reached the entry to the pass (fort mcpherson). My partner eventually had to fly back to Whitehorse because the delay was affecting her job. Eventually I got the call, rushed like mad and could not believe when I found the barrier open. What followed was the scariest and loneliest road trip of my life. I ended up in a massive storm up in the Richardson mountains. At times could not drive faster than 10km/hr. the snow was blinding and outside was pitch-black. It took me about 7 or 8 hours to make it to Eagle Plains. I was well prepared, with survival gear, food and fuel to last me days and the old Subaru Outback never faltered. Best trip of my life. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Glad to see that there are other people who know that experience.

I did that drive 20 years ago. We left Edmonton where it was just coming to the end of summer, still hot, no cold weather, no snow etc. We drove north and as we gained in longitude we watched the seasons change with the day. The ferry at Ft McPherson was still open, hopped on that and continued to Inuvik. Once we hit Inuvik it was full on winter, and only 4 days had passed since leaving Edmonton. Thats as far as we could go, as the road to Tuktoyaktuk hadn't been developed yet. We had to strand our vehicle in Inuvik for a week or so, can't remember exactly how long, but couldn't retrieve it until the Mackenzie River frozeover I think one of the most amazing parts of that drive, was not only watching as the seasons changed as we drove, but the topography of the and geological features of the area. From big Spruce forests, to dwarf black Spruce forests then nothing but tundra and mountain. I would have loved it if the highway to Tuktoyaktuk had of been open at that time. I felt robbed that I couldn't get to the Arctic Ocean.

My Daddy was a truck driver, so I would probably get a CB radio to talk to the truckers, because they always have the best information on conditions and share that information with others. Plus you can follow them on an ice road if you're like me, never driven on one. Man I can't wait!! 😍

Using that van to go where you go is wild ..but I wanna start a GoFundMe to get you an awd Toyota Sienna to guarantee that I get to keep seeing vids of you. ..alive. Edit; Holy fugg.. I typed that before getting to the part where you got stuck. Edit Edit; Your editing is 10/10 btw. The drone shot where you drove through from right to left was 👌 and the transitions are awesome.
