If you do decide to get a dog you should get a smaller breed like a bichon frise lhasa apso mix/jack russel terrier(max 8-10kg). You could do summits with the little guy on your back. A bigger breed would just weigh you down and not cool leaving it for hours on end it the van.

Good comment. I agree. 👍

Thank you! Appreciate that!!

I was thinking a Jack Russsel as well. Fantastic companions, easy to train, smart, super athletic (even by Simon's standards), one of the most loyal dogs, and robust. My buddy Jake lived 18 years and was never sick.

Springer Spaniel. Springer Spaniel. Ours lived to be 16. Up till about 11 years old he hiked, backpacked, swam, camped, climbed all over Eastern Canada. Nothing could stop him. He loved it all. Small enough but big enough. An incredible breed. And he loved me to death.

his films and postproduction/editing sure takes a lot of work. no wonder he is so tired.

Who doesn’t like watching a fire? There is something so relaxing and primal of just setting up and tending a fire. The relaxation, visual satisfaction, warmth of heat and even cooking option make an actual stove / fire the best bang for your buck in my opinion. As long as you aren’t an idiot that is because a fire can kill you in multiple ways before you even realise it’s happening.

Get a little tea cup dog🐶 You can hike with her in your pocket

I need a wood stove in my life.

Dude, sorry burt2481, nothing in this or any of my comments is disrespectful. In fact the comment was encouraging and thankful for his efforts. I don’t get people like you, making something out of nothing.

Yes, FF needs to direct a movie, he's got talent with the camera!

You are so correct with everything you mentioned.'.'. His videos are on a whole different Level.

He is an unusual talent on KZfaq, or any medium. And from what I understand, he is a 1 man team. A true artist.

I agree, get the dog. You will find plenty of folks to help care for it, if need be. Your content is phenomenal! 😘

Pets are a real hassle, especially living in a van - don't do it as you will regret it!

Yup. Escaping reality is nice right about now. ..or past few years. lol

Same

I think a small dog is the best option, too! 👍

What was his name?

Thank you

I'm an avid hiker I do big hikes like you 14 years with a German Shepherd only seven of those years she could do I've missed more and seen less loving my dog

Huskies are moody. Thats from experience lol

@@DonJetblack00 huskies are the most gorgeous dogs on the planet but they are completely insane! 🤣🤣🤣🙄. The weirdest dogs out there

@@oldyeller6518 Dalmations and Greyhounds are pretty weird dogs as well.

You make a lot of good points , Owning a Dog may seem like a huge commitment to some , but the benefits of an Intelligent , Athletic , Loving , Loyal dog far out weight the negative aspects you mentioned. Mind you I am biased , having a dog most of my life , I don't know any different. Choosing the right dog is important. I do a lot of climbing and Hiking/backpacking in the Alberta and BC Rockies ..Even canoeing. My dog loves hanging out for a long paddle. German ShortHaired Pointers are my dog of choice , Unbelievable Athleticism , Stamina , intelligence and just all around great dog. Thats just me. Another breed that possesses the same traits are Border Collies , plus easier to train. In the end I know Foresty is a very smart guy and whatever breed or mutt or rescue dog he chooses , will be great for him. If you go back to some of Foresty's early videos , I recall him being with his family and there was a bunch of dogs hanging out , I believe they were Bernese Mountain Dogs. Not sure.

My bowel movement is the reason I get up in the morning.

@CATRIENS🦋 stop it with your damn spam!!!

You should consider domesticating a squirrel, good company for long walks in the forest.

And that is mr.dramatic? 🤔 He needs a girl too tho

@william I'll bet you wear a mask while you're driving alone in your car

Blue healer! Smaller and they love being outside in nature!! ✌️🍻

In van room alone!

I hope a girl too would be fun

I highly recommend taking one for a few days, I did just that and decided a sheltie was not for me ... I was grateful to have had that opportunity, and will find the right dog, if its meant to be.

Plus I like the open mind on leaving with a trusted person if need be.. there are solutions that can benefit both you and your 4 legged friend!

Agree about the fostering. Beware of shelters that don't provide much advice and try to push dogs. A border collie may be a good choice if a young pup, but require lots of attention and are very active. Great dogs for training. Had one for ten years. He was the best sitter I ever had to watch out for my children when doing yard work. He ran circles around them to protect them. Sad the last couple of years when his health deteriorated though. Keep that in mind.
