I have a great respect for a man that takes his dog everywhere.

Any other youtuber would have used that bear attack as click bait for months, foresty just casually drops it in like it was nothing 🤣 that’s why we love ya

I love how Foresty Forest is so good at following the rules - Rocko on a leash where required, no flying the drone where it's not allowed, etc. It really shows just how solid his character is and what a fine person he is - his parents must be so proud! This video was amazing, and scary when he encountered the bear family! I can't wait for the next one!

I’m 71 years old now and last time I was in Canada the family and I went to whistler. That was as beautiful as the Austria and Swiss alps. This 5 day hike and the pure majesty of the Yukon Territory you hiked made me want to go there, however, sadly, I’m too old. Thank you for taking me and your subscribers along with you, it was a beautiful video!!!!

I can honestly say, you make some of the most amazing content on KZfaq. Thank you for sharing your journeys with us. ❤🇨🇦❤

Foresty!!! A 31 and a half minute episode?! LET ME GET THE POPCORN!

"Rocko's Good People", I am there with you. Thank you. Loved the way she re-positioned herself in one of the out-takes, had she decided she was uncomfortable sitting too close to the owner of the unforgiving leash? Mr Forest this week's video is a true treat with vistas, water crossings, care of companion, insights taught along the way, etc. I am humbled by your efforts and am glad you don't want the days to end either. Thank you again.

Foresty, you have absolutely nailed it with this video. You never stopped smiling the whole way through. What an epic trail for you and Rocko. You are the best ambassador for Canada and you should be rewarded for it. Thank you for your hard work in producing such high class watchable video's time and time again.

I've been watching for years and this is the first time I've left a comment: This has been by far your most entrancing video yet. The beauty of the land shines through the screen. The music is perfect. And of course, no over the top "KZfaqr" narration. Just the classic, tasteful foresty commentary that has made your channel one of the only outdoors channels I watch these days. Thank you, your video always motivates my next hike.

We are lucky to have someone like you that travels to all these cool places and document it for us to enjoy. Thanks.

From deep in the bowels of South Western Ontario.......Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. You have taken us places we most likely will never see.....

Foresty: Are you ready? Rocko: Stupid question!

I can't let this one get by without at least saying thank you! At over thirty minutes you have officially spoiled us all, as I feel like most of us here can never get enough Foresty Forest. Stay safe and peace be with you.

@Foresty Forest Lots of respect for someone in a National park in the middle of nowhere with no one around and follows the rules by leashing his dog. Safe travels!

Better than any 30 minutes on TV or cable! FF, you have a talent for story telling and video production. The natural beauty is amazing. I smile every time Rocko comes on screen, and your personal insight make me think. Thank you.

Foresty when you're out on the hiking trail, you seem like a different person..so confident..so articulate..so full of joy! Your face is happy and smiling! It's great to see you this way!❤️

I feel that I'm fortunate to witness these journeys of yours, I see you as a modern day John Muir. What makes this even more remarkable is your gift of storytelling and capturing it all through gorgeous filmmaking. This channel is so underrated, you give us a gift each time you climb. Please stay safe out there, Foresty. Our world needs people like you (and Super Dog Rocco) in it. ❤

Rocko is the coolest dog on the internet!

I didn't think I could adore this channel more and this adventure proved me wrong. What totally spectacular views and the wide display of Mother Nature's wonders boggled my mind. Thank you Forest & Rocko for taking us along on a trek of a lifetime...be well! 🤗🐶🐾

How can you not share this man's fabulous outdoor content on your own social media channels? This is the most authentic outdoorsman you'll ever see anywhere, sponsored climbers/hikers be damned.

I'm only 8 1/2 minutes in and I have to stop to say how great it is to see you reveling in being out there as you share with us. What beautiful places we get to see because of your channel. Thank you!

That was the fastest 31 minutes and 33 seconds I have ever experienced. So many watchers truly care for your well-being and with the fires in BC, the NWT, and across much of Canada I was beginning to be a bit concerned since it had been awhile since you posted a video. So pleased to know you and Rocko are okay. I share your videos with a friend battling cancer who climbed mountains in his younger years. The Yukon was on his bucket list and he may never fulfill that wish. Being able to share your adventures up North allows all of us viewers to experience these magnificent places vicariously. You are appreciated beyond measure.

The way you've combined your passion for nature, your mechanical training, and your art school experience into building an amazing and unique life from scratch is frickin breathtaking.

Thanks for taking us with you , it was a pleasure to watch , cheers from Scotland

Total respect FF....best 31 minutes ever on YT....you make it look so easy yet 90% of the planet wouldn`t even be able to consider doing this...

What a full video. Bear sightings, insane scenery, blueberries, bushwacking, biking and Rocko doing so well on a leash. Mad respect. So glad you are living this life you love. Would love to be out there with ya. Enjoyed the "bloopers". Thanks for taking us along.

Thank you, thank you for sharing Canada. It is so magnificence. The way you took time to stop and look at different things, not just walking to be walking. Truly did not want the day to end either. You and Rocko definitely make my life brighter.

I live in the Kluane region and I am so happy to see a vanlifer truly appreciating and spending quality time in the wild beauty and silence of the Yukon and not just rushing through to Alaska. Spectacular video of the Donjek, but of course Rocko is the star. I met my husband in Burwash 20 years ago when we were both working there, so this video brings back a lot of memories of playing in the area. The grizzlies in Kluane are no joke. I understand the nightmares! Happy travels.

Mama with 2 cubs, you don't leave any adventure untouched. Thanks for the journey.

You are the best KZfaqr, period! You are authentic, you have the best videography, the best drone footage, and the best audio-work! I take my hats off for you! You are getting better with every video you share with us! Thank you for letting us take part in your adventures!

As a 60-year old who enjoyed backpacking in my younger years, I now live vicariously through you, Foresty. Thank you for your amazing content. ❤️

Sincere thanks for taking us along on this expedition, Simon. Aside from capturing the epic scenery, and the physical demands of the walk, my hat’s off to you for all the extra effort involved in setting up shot after spectacular shot, to immerse us so coherently in this beautiful wilderness. Rocko, as always, adds so much pluck and cuteness. From Australia, just Well done, mate! 🐨❤️

Your videography is amazing! The amount of effort to set up, show yourself walking up inclines etc. then go back to get your camera and doing it again and again is incredible. Thank you for giving us all the opportunity to see such magnificent scenery. Thank you too Rocko!!

sleeping next to that glacier is among the most spectacular spots you've ever taken us to. THANK YOU!

The picture of you, sitting at the summit looking at the awesome view, contemplating the world, was AMAZING beyond words!

There's really only one word to describe that... EPIC!

The scenery with you and Rocco sitting and just taking it all in actually brought me to tears. It was amazingly awesomely beautifully spectacular! I'm so appreciative of the fact I have eyes to have watched you Foresty and little Rocco girl do what makes you happy...thereby bringing happiness and joy to the many! I send many many blessings to you Foresty and little Rocco. I so enjoyed going with you on this walk about and when it was over I forgot where I was for a moment and actually had to stop and bring myself back to my reality. It was an absolute pleasure!

A 30+ minute Forest video is just what I needed right now.

You are one of my few channels that I never leave a video unwatched. Here’s a coffee or a gallon of gas, thank you Foresty.

You are a national treasure. Your authenticity, storytelling talent and enthusiasm with the wonders of nature remind of watching Carl Sagan’s Cosmos series as a kid.

Another stupendous visit with Foresty Forest. I have to admit I'm closer in age to 80 than 70 now and your videos are something I always look forward to. You take us on such awesome adventures. I can smell the forest, feel the wind and gasp at the beauty. The scenery is always so breath-taking, and I love your narrative. Loved the outtakes. Thank you, thank you for sharing with us and brightening my day.

31 minute foresty video, this gonna be good 😊😊😊

"Foresty Forest he lives in a van." i really miss the theme song.

I love how Rocko completely trusts you.

What a charmed life you lead, Forest. Doing what you love in a place you love with a hiking companion that's skilled and amiable and not too chatty. I don't know many people who can say they wish their day would never end. Thank you, yet again, for sharing this lovely and exhilarating trek with us. I'm exhausted.

"Rocko is good people" - love you Foresty. Don't want to even think about that grizzly.

Someday when your an old man you can look back on these videos and say " I was young once " glad I did it!😊

It never occurred to me that you’re doing multiple takes of anything…that’s some serious dedication

That was . . . well, that was everything. I'm sitting here feeling like I'm eight years old and have the whole day ahead of me. With my sack lunch and my Schwinn coaster bike, the possibilities are limitless. Best ever, Simon, and they're all wonderful. But this . . . oh my. Thank you!

Hello Foresty Forest - The scene at 17.47 was one of the best I have ever seen on KZfaq as the sky darkened into night over the glacier. Just plain outstanding! Your photography and videography are beyond compare. You are the best. Thank you for sharing this great hike with us. I am so glad I found you channel and I have enjoyed all of your work. Kind Regards, Randy in Arizona, USA

My dear Mr. Foredty, the worst case isn't eating the dog's food. The worst case is eating the dog! Love your work. Stay safe. Don't put yourself in harm's way for the sake of youtube's ratings. L.

"See it first hand, can't describe how lucky I feel to call Canada 'home'." Yeah, man. If you're in Canada proper, living your life free away from the cities, away from the demon's grind... this is a beautiful, inspirational place. And it can fill your spirit completely with joy, pride, content and awe.

Your excitement is contagious!!! I felt like I was right there with you and Rocko. Beautiful footage!!! You deliver the best content on KZfaq bar none!!! You and Rocko are a great pair! You are making some great memories to carry throughout your life!! Ty for the trip to the Yukon, it is amazing!!😃🌄

Absolutely stunning scenery. Great trek. Love Rocko snugging in the sleeping bag. Both of you have won the lottery! ❤

Oh my God, Rocco in her little basket is the cutest thing I’ve seen in quite a while! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Epic adventure with insanely beautiful scenery! The bear footage is nuts - glad you're ok. Thanks, as always, for taking us along!

This is one of your best videos ever! In my prime I was never strong enough to do hikes like this, and now that I'm an elder, your videos give me the vicarious pleasure of doing these magnificent hikes. So grateful to you.

I cant overstate how much your videos genuinely improve my life.

12:13 You did a great job to convince mama to stay away from people. +++++

I’m not concerned, I’m not stressed out, just having a good time. Words to live by. I love this guy!!!

I did that hike 30 years ago. Loved it so much. So incredibly beautiful. Probably my biggest achievement hiking wise too! It was tough!

Finally !!!! I've been having Foresty Forest withdrawals ❤😂....

That is absolutely terrifying. Grizzly Bears are no joke. Especially mama bears.

I’ll never get tired of watching Rocko snuggle into the sleeping bag! And out takes! Oolala!

I teares up a little I’m not gonna lie. I love seeing you happy and in your element.

Watching the evolution of your videography has been great. At this point, you have a way of filming and editing that presents the story very well, better than anyone really. Even the music is on point. It's incredible work and you should be proud of it. Loved the outtakes at the end too !

Man, you are living life and not letting life live you. Love your little dog. She never complains. Enjoyed, Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for taking me hiking with you. im 77 and love the adventure. im so glad you have Rocko with you as a companion. God Bless

I went back and rewatched a few of your older videos. I have followed you for quite some time. In the time I have followed you, personal growth is great to see. But your fundamental ideas and style have stayed the same. Thank you, my friend, keep up the content. We need this in our lives.

Oh. Simon. This was your best. Thank you for taking us along.

Forestry. I also won the lottery by finding your KZfaq a while back. Your filming is incredible as is your adventures. I often say to myself on you’re adventures. How will you top this? Then you do. You’re such a humble & decent human being. You fill my bucket Forestry. Thanks so much.

This man knows IT: the beat. The big AT. Can’t say how much I appreciate it.

Absolutely stunning. I just shake my head at how you (in the middle of this amazing hike and scenery) just drop a, “oh yeah, I got charged by a mama bear last week - it’s all good” and go on your way!!! Most you tubers would have strung that out for a whole episode, or two! I can’t believe you had the wherewithal to film the second encounter!

I think you’re a beautiful soul. ❤

You and Rocco eating berries off the plant together is my favorite part

Dogs have very kind, clean souls and reflect the owners personality and give him back the Love they receive , so they are very well like children...

Hey FF. Love your videos. You give me faith in humanity.

Glad that you enjoyed the hike. Because of you filming as you stroll though the park, I get to see beautiful scenery that I'll never be able to see on my own. Thank you Simon!

I know these pictures don't even come close to doing it justice. The pictures being so amazing, I can only imagine how breathtaking it must be.

I love you man. What you said so honestly about human contact, and your videos always speak to me. You helped me through a pretty bad time. You're a fantastic video maker who has influenced me to try out some vanlife next fortnight

We feel that we won the lottery in discovering your channel! What a wonderful journey you just took us on.

O Canada! Foresty, once again we follow along with you as you showcase yet more of our beloved land. Thanks for taking us on a fabulous trek through Kulane National Park. 🇨🇦❤❤❤❤❤

Foresty lottery winner and Rocko jackpot winner! Seeing you together warms my heart, especially on this momentous adventure! I'm glad you didn't have to share Rocko's food! And, love the outtakes too! The scenery breathtaking and capturing the wildlife fantastic! What a high!! ❤

That rain dance outtake was a wet fart of a surprise.

That bear was big and mad! Glad you had your spray ready and made it out of that with a good story and all of your limbs attached. Stay safe brother!

I've said it here before that Foresty Forest is always humbly impressive and a true renaissance man that's truly a man without an ego. I love how you tell the story of a life altering encounter with one of nature's deadliest beasts that was even deadlier because it was a protective mother the same way you would tell someone that you got the cart with the wobbly wheel at the supermarket. If that happened to me when I was in my twenties, I'd probably still be dramatically telling it like it happened a minute ago, and I'm in my sixties. Please, stay being you, Simon.

Protect this man (and dog) at all costs!

Man, I love this channel. Beautiful scenery, food, and good vibes.

I have been waiting for this one since the Instagram teaser. What a treat! Fire video, as always 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Awesome video! Thank you for taking us along! Rocko is the perfect companion! She is a mighty Dog!!

Can't thank you enough for taking me with you.

So good. Seems silly that Rocko had to be on a leash, but good on you respecting the rules. Glad you survived the bear encounters.

This reminds me of your oldest videos; the bike tours, etc. What an awesome masterpiece!

Kluane is such a magical place! Spent 32 yrs in Alaska. One time my husband stopped an angry grizzly w/his chainsaw!

Excellent story, kiddo. Thanks for letting us clip onto your backpack for the trip.

Protect this man at all costs

Fantastic video!! Sometimes I wonder if a video could be any better and then....you do it again. Give the baby a hug and a kiss for us doggy lovers.

Whoa dude. That grizzly ordeal had me almost crapping my pants lol. In all seriousness, I’m glad the mama bear stopped. A lot of the times they’ll keep charging through the spray or yelling when they’re with their cubs. Savage beasts! Glad you and Rocko are okay! ❤ maybe carry next time 😟👀

I think I can speak for most of us who watch your videos that you are one of my favorite accounts on KZfaq. This was probably my favorite video of yours. Glad you had a good time, and be safe out there!

What a spectacular and exciting backpacking trip in Kluane National Park, Foresty! It is hard to find words to describe those mountains. So beautiful and majestic. It warms my heart to know that places like this exist, where humans are the visitors, and the wildlife can live life as God intended.
