That slow cooker ain't going no where, let's be real.

This channel is like watching someone live aboard a space station, having to monitor and repair the life support systems. Your heater teardown was the equivalent of a spacewalk. Haha. They don't have slow cookers in space though.

I really enjoy the "one last time with the slow cooker" series. The adventure followed by a hot hearty meal. Good stuff.

When Foresty Forest speaks, a wise man listens.

"One Last Time" with Foresty Forest and The Slow Cooker. I would watch that show every night

*goes 2 weeks without any uploads* *uploads 3 videos in like 3 days* Idk whats better Foresty's content and personality, the music he chooses for his videos, or how random the pattern of uploading is. Either way, keep it mate!.

This is what the internet is intended for, not bashing other people or putting people down.

Who raised this man... a pack of aerospace engineers??? 🤯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The person on the sidewalk has no idea the level of top secret stuff going on in the white "spaceship" minivan.

I will never live in a van with a Chinese diesel heater but I found this video incredibly interesting. I find your resourcefulness admirable. Great video.

Yo this is some serious shit. Alot of us are buying or have bought these things. Keep us well informed.

These types of videos are the kind this subculture can really use.

You know damn well you’re keeping that slow cooker. 😆

Thanks for taking us for a glimpse into the ups and downs of Van life...

This is why my boss always tells me the best tool for the job is the one you don't have 😂

I’m sure you already know this, as handy as you are, but if you have access to an angle grinder you can make yourself up a glow plug socket for just the price of a deep socket from HD, just to have on hand for future. Your videos are fantastic, great job.

The slow cooker is part of you now, Forrest. Use it wisely - with great power comes great responsibility. Good work on the heater too.

I love the fact that you have no fears taking on any project, I'm in wow of you honestly

John is the man when it comes to these heaters.

Foresty is a dang genius...Thai chicken, glow plugs and heater repair...what's next boss?

Guys that can fix stuff amaze me. I enjoyed watching this. You're very gifted.

I never skip the ads for your videos forestry. Hopefully gets you some coins for your pockets. Good luck out there.

I’ve never chosen to watch a video about fixing stuff by jury rigging it when you don’t have the exact right part. You make most anything interesting. Stay safe and Peace to you, in all you do...

Ur an impressive guy. I was so skeptical with so many rich guy van life videos out there. I would enjoy a video with the tools you carry. I was impressed to see you replace your wheel baring in a video you made I watched recently. I think seeing how a guy with minimal tools does common repairs on veichels could connect you to a whole new audience. I have lived in the same location for a long time and am intimidated by repairs like this and cars but would be willing to take it on. Could be a huge market for people with limited money but willingness to try. You have really grown on me. I'm a Canadian and know about real cold days. So much respect bro

I love your "can do" attitude with mechanical stuff. You just knuckle down and get on with things. I hope to see you in a bigger, better van one day so you've got more room to manoeuvre!

it can't be an episode without "one more time with the slow cooker"

I have a diesel heater in my van, and the fuel pump went out after a little less than a year. It took about 2 weeks for the new one to ship, so it'd recommend ordering a spare if you don't already have one on hand. Thanks for the great videos!

Gotta say there’s been a van in the parking lot at work for weeks. I keep walking by it looking for signs of van life thanks to forestry forest! Love this guys videos.

That slow cooker is gonna elevate the channel to the next level. You need to give it a name.

I sat through a full one minute ad before the video. Your content is worth it. Keep yourself safe and healthy, hoser.

I have never seen a Chinese diesel heater and can confidently say I will never need to know how to replace a glow plug (much less know what a glow plug is), but I still enjoyed watching the process! I'm very impressed with anyone who can fix something- we're in such a 'throw away' culture it's nice to see someone take the time and effort to figure out how it can be fixed and not just replaced.

Hello Foresty Forest, be careful out there on the wilderness! I like your videos and I learn a lot from them, you have a unique life style. Best Regards from Juarez, Mexico and take care.

Very informative, and nice to someone providing good sound quality. This video is well worth saving for later reference.

This is the sequel to “The Martian”. It’s called “The Canadian”.😎

You seem a lot happier and upbeat in the last few weeks. Glad to see ya enjoying life a bit more there foresty. I will actually cry if you donate the slow cooker back, that thing means a lot to us.

I love that these videos are so humble and adventurous! I love the content!

Jeez. The last video you had a problem opening a bottle of fish sauce!! Now a diesel heater rebuild!! My faith has been restored.

Just couple more years down the road and this minivan will be the millennium falcon. As ever, great video.

You are remarkable!!! How many people have the same mechanical skills that you have? Especially working on equipment when the temperature is below zero!!! You got it!!!

It's a good thing the break down happened this week when it's been relatively warm. A couple of weeks ago would have been miserable. Stay warm!

Heat wrapping the intake pipe to the exhaust will pre-heat the air, it’ll work the same way a carbureted car uses the exhaust to heat the intake air in cold weather. Very important however, make sure your fresh air intake is far away from your exhaust. A foot or two isn’t enough, the residual CO2 from the exhaust can easily get sucked into the intake and can slowly poison you. If you can wrap two foot of tubing that’ll be plenty to pre-heat the incoming air and give yourself at least 3 feet of gap between the ends of the intake and exhaust pipes.

I don’t understand 90% of the things you just said/did, but somehow you made it enjoyable 😂 i love this damn channel!

No cooking and hiking and still enjoy watching you do diy. I'm glad you got your heater fix. You are a very handy man. 👍 Stay safe and warm FF. Would love to see you make Filipino Chicken Adobo one day.

Enjoying your vids! Just a side note, remember to maintain your spare tire hoist. Very common failure on the SV6/Uplanders. Never know when you need it. You don’t want that tire to come loose.

You are indeed a resourceful guy. I enjoy watching you work through the various trials and tribulations of your life, spanning van life, mountain hiking and cooking. Thanks for sharing.

How can you not love this guy? Seriously all around talent and one of my favorite youtubers!

"hopefully back to my regular adventures".... Dude!!! We love your channel because of your little breakdowns and solutions for it you have once in a while ;)

That slow cooker is amazing there is no way that you should give it away

I like that you are more than capable of doing things beyond what a normal person would be able to. Just lets you know that not all of us could live this life. This almost falls inline with your determination to reach a certain summit despite the conditions.

Hey Foresty Forest, Your resourcefulness knows no bounds. If I was ever lost on a deserted island I’d like you by my side to survive 😀👍. You’ve got the Mini Van lifestyle down to a fine art. All the best 👍. Cheers from Australia.

Protect this man at all costs

For someone who keeps threatening to get rid of the slow cooker u sure have been using it a lot! Keep it! I love how handy u r and that u seem to be able to fix everything!

I had no idea about the ads until I saw in the comments so I will be watching the ads from now on

The slow cooker is my favorite character on this channel.

I can't believe this guy is so laid back, I want to see the outtakes of him swearing & and things that goes wrong or things that goes bump in the night.. (nice editing by the way)😂

I asked you a month or so ago about your diesel heater, and I am totally convinced that I will go with propane in my camper. It will be more expensive, but it is also a lot cleaner, and easier to maintain the system. My camper will be stationary, so I will not be facing the same issues as you are.

You are an inspiration and I'm addicted to these videos for late night beer or whiskey in bed and to share the cold I open my window and keep heaters off while snuggled in my sleeping bag lol.

This guy has grown on me. I am really looking forward to all his new content.

My heater has been running for 2 years. Fortunately I bought spares (with wrench) when I installed it. Gonna install new plug today. Thanks for sharing

I love how much your videos vary. There's no boring updates on your channel. Getting a full look into some of the problems that come up along the way is awesome in my opinion. Thanks for another great one brotha!

I really appreciate your videos like this. I'm less than a year into vanlife and these videos make me less anxious about problems that can happen.

Really didn’t expect this to quickly become one my favorite channels. Keep these videos coming!!

Forest is pumping out the videos now. Yes!!!

I see comments about space station, more like solo Das Boot in the engine room. I am going step out of my warm fire warmed office and try out winter tent in WYOMING. Thanks for much of my inspiration.

impressive ability to repair these things, especially without the right tools 👍

A real in field diesel heater repair. Beautiful. Thank You FF. +1

Hey dude! This is great to see! Been wondering when my glow plug will go out. It’s been 1 year and 2 months since I’ve been using mine. I DID order all the spare parts to replace my glow plugs - including the special wrench. I have heard others talk about these Chinese glow plugs only lasting a few weeks. So for us the to get THIS long is good I suppose!

That;s quite the break down of the heater . Bravo for the repair . You should officially adopt the slow cooker , I think it's a keeper .

Loving the constant insightful content! Your efforts are appreciated! 👍

There should be a series on this channel called "One last time with the slow cooker". Lol Having a great time watching vids. 👍🏼👍🏼

You should loop the intake away from the exhaust as it will suck in the exhaust and bring it into the van. You should only need a short section wrapped together to prevent icing.

I agree with those below, I could watch your slow cooker videos over and over. And I love trying to spot where you are as I am in Calgary

I have brought my slow cooker out of retirement because of your great videos! Many thanks!

I like your style both in your vids and your attitude..... plus you get bonus points for being 🇨🇦

Your resourcefulness astounds. I'm fascinated. I don't even have any idea what a glow plug is or does. Lol

3 videos in a week. You the man for this

I love watching the videos I missed during the minivan chapter! I’ve had the same 5kw heater for 2 months now. Took it apart after running into some hiccups, found the glow plug in great shape. I’ll let you know when she goes 😄

Holy. You are handy. I’d have problems in a shop but there you are rebuilding diesel heater pretty much in a closet. Good work.

Didn't you say 15 minutes repair? LOL. Awesome, you are the king of DIY and very self sufficient. Great job!!

Forest.... I just realised that your channel is turning in to THE TRUMAN SHOW. Even the every day running of the van is interesting. Great vid non the less 👍

Happy u got it working again.. i enjoy watching your adventures !!!

Great info! I’m Installing a diesel heater in my xterra and all the tips and tricks really helps!

Accept yours and our love of the slow cooker and keep it until spring!!

It was interesting seeing the inside of the heater. Having stainless steel intake and exhaust piping seems like a great upgrade. Have a warm night with the now running heater. Take care.

You have a very engaging delivery and I love your accent! 👍

Yes I love mine too. Look forward to hearing about your other gear! Keep up the great work with the videos.

I’m out in Kananaskis skiing most Sunday’s. Hopefully I will run into you one day. Stay safe. Your videos are great.

Good video, I like seeing repair video’s that pertain to life on the road. Good job 👍

I think the slow cooker has earned a name.

So when are you gonna pop the question to your slow cooker and make it an honest cooker?

Great work sir. Keep up the great work. Looking foward to seeing more👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

The Forest Space Station lives on 😂 when faced with no heat it really makes one appreciate the gravity of the situation! awesome watching your everyday life! I like these types of videos as I am considering getting an almost identical model heater for my Uplander build. I will be sure to order spare parts and tools, also a spare fuel tank as well. Take care and stay safe.

Always when I find a new FF episode, I am thumbing up first and then starting watching. And I never regret :) Good luck Forest!

Appreciate this have only been using mine for 3 months but have not had any problems yet.

Another great video mate ,take care from all of us in the uk

Just installed a diesel Chinese diesel heater in my rig. Thanks for the glow plug tips. Will add the special wrench to my spare parts kit.

This was priceless, am a Millwirght/Electrician and you have the knack, just need the tools. Although your choice of Pickquick it the best!

One thing to keep in mind if you are going to try pre-heating the intake air, these units require a certain amount of cooling, or else they will run too hot and lead to a shortened life, so sucking in hot air is not necessarily a good thing. This is also why the literature recommends keeping all tubing as short as possible with minimal bends, if the airflow is restricted (either inside air or out) they will run hot (but often not enough to trip the safety) and lead to an earlier failure. There are a lot of videos online of people trying to scavenge waste heat using all sorts of methods, but few take into account the affect that has on the heater's own cooling needs.

You woke up with no heat! I'm shivering for you.

As an fyi that "glow plug" is referred to as a hot surface ignitor in the HVAC world. Great videos!
