"By the grace of shear stupidity, I continue on" All time Foresty Forest quote

You’ve never seen me click so fast as to when a Foresty vlog pops up

I'm amazed at how adept that little dog is at climbing up to some of those summits. You picked exactly the right dog when you chose her.

I hope this helps a bit. Rocko is so cute.

Rocko! Is it just me or is that pure love in her eyes when you give her head scratches? Such a sweet beautiful girl she is!❤️

Dinner is on me!

I wouldn't have the intestinal fortitude to climb those peaks even if they had stairs all the way. Cheers to you & Rocko for your efforts and providing such spectacular footage for us 👍

I would like to pay you a big compliment, even if I don't speak English very well, I really enjoy watching your videos. You are simply unbeatable you two.... always take good care of yourselves and please keep it up. 😊

I noticed that Hagwilget Peak is Summit #185 for you, and #41 for Rocko. I am wondering what you will do to celebrate when you summit peak #200. Unbelievable! Foresty, you are truly a remarkable mountaineer, and an inspirational human being!!

A lot of people live vicariously through you and your videos. Im one and love it. Thanks dude.

My mom has this quote her parents often said to her and her siblings: "You sure are filthy, you must have had a fun day"

You are looking so Happy doing what you love. Thanks for bringing us along.

See, this is a real 'Van Life' video, not one of those "Everything is perfect" videos Things get messy sometimes, with me almost every time I go camping, now I've been reminded that my van needs cleaning, Thanks Foresty

Do whatever makes you happy, man. We’re all along for the ride. Your happiness will undoubtedly make your viewers just as happy.

Thanks!

I'm so glad that there are people like you that can do these adventures so the rest of us can enjoy them

Damn Rocko is built like a pitbull straight up!Mountain life makes a happy and healthy dog 😊

We love you Simon !!!!..... You're the best KZfaqr EVER !!!! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR AMAZING LIFE WITH US ! Give Rocko a smooch for us....lol ❤️...

Foresty is the only guy on youtube who starts with a van wipe down and ends with beautiful drone footage of mountain tops!! Damn, that was a pretty view.

Love these behind the scenes videos, just makes you feel more like a real person and not just another van life KZfaqr.

Here's a small token of my appreciation for all you do.

One of the best a dog and his boy channels around. Add a dirty van, a swarm of skeeters, yet another pile of rocks and what do you get? A great watch!

For a beer or two. Love your adventure. When your old and look back at what you did... wow. I hope you write a book one day.

Rocko is such a fortunate girl. I love how she looks back at you as if to say, "are you coming?"

True Foresty Forest fans will watch Foresty watch paint dry....so clean away !!

I adore the photography! Those are views that I will never manage but they are breath-taking! Thank you!

I cannot believe Rocko's climbing abilities. I am constantly amazing by her. Awesome summit and drone footage!

Thanks for what you do!

I can watch these drone shots all day. Roco was pretty spunky coming back. I really hope your nomadic life doesn’t conflict with how well you feel mentally. Do you ever consider taking a vacation from this and go visit some family or friends?

Not sure what Rocco's life was before you got her, but I bet she is now thinking. . . . . . " Wow, I really hit the jackpot with my new human. My life is so great now. "

Thanks for bringing a smile to our faces today Foresty & Rocko! Sending Aloha from Kauai, Hawaii

Now that we know Foresty and Rocko are fine...you are a delight to watch, so honest and real. Much better than any geographic or nature show I've ever watched!(I'm 70 and am delighted with how you use technology, drones and your humble van and take care of Rocko. (She's hilarious in that bag🤣)..even watching you clean up gives us opportunity to see your ingenious design of your stove, counter, n cubby holes and your 🍢 kebabs made my mouth water!

10:28. You climbed ALL that just to go back and get your camera?! That's dedication.

That van is like the Johnny Cash song, “I’ve been everywhere man!” Nice bed now for Rocko! Edit: Yum Yum! On that food Simon! You always cook some great grub! That was some climb! Wow! I think you are ready for Tibet.

Rocko-“Hey dad, whatcha got on that plate & you’re giving me some, right?” I totally get the mess factor. I’m in my jeep & my passenger seat is my kitchen. Daily tidying😂. Thanks for bringing us along! Hugs and love to you & Rocko!❤️❤️

What an incredibly inspiring channel. There aren’t many channels I look forward to the next video. This is at the top. Be kind to yourself. Rocko must be the hardiest mountaineering dog ever to exist. What a life. I usually find if I’m burning out, it is because the expectations I have on myself are not balanced with what I am able to do. So the balance is off. I can only imagine the pressure you feel to continue because of the support you get from patrons. Don’t forget to have time just for you. We would all understand. ✌️💜✏️

Foresty, thank you, thank you, thank you. Let me tell you why I was thrilled to follow you up the mountain, and my apologies for what will be a post that is a bit long! I lived below Hagwilget Peak for five years in my early teens. I loved that peak so much that I reacently 'carved' it's crags for the doorway of my newlyl completed camper van. Hey, I think you'd even recognize it. Ha. I built an airplane back in the 70's and flew it back to Hazelton in the summer of 78 (before GoPro cameras) and flew the surrounding countryside, reliving the adventures (mostly horseback trips) all these years later. It was a marvellous trip of a lifetime, but sadlyl the clouds were too low to fly over the Peak. You have done this for me with an amazing hike over some terribly rough terraine that is way beyond what I ever could have done, so thank you for this beautiful posting. You climbed higher on your hike than I was ab;e to fly that day. Now I am content to have seen the top of 'my' mountain. I will include a link to a second rate video of that flight back to Hazelton. My wings were magical and I flew them for 34 years before my age caught up with me. Keep the videos coming Foresty. You and Rocco do an amazing job and I absolutely love your adventures. Stayl safe and enjoy each moment. Obviously you know how. John. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLtggLF9yceZnZ8.html

FF is pumping out the videos now. Good to see. Some summer trip ideas, Haida Gwaii, Sunshine Coast Trail, Vancouver Island...

Wow, I have to admit that seeing you and Rocko climbing on this one made me extremely nervous for your safety! Maybe it was the POV you gave us! Glad you're both safe! Take care and thanks for sharing all that you do!

Thanks Foresty, incredible video as always 😎

Your drone footage is sharper and clearer than the epic movie/musical " The Sound of Music" by Roger's and Hammerstein. Right at the beginning of the movie, they are flying over the Alps. You are amazing.

You are so far beyond everything, trail cooking, hiking, mountaineering, van life, videography, a sweet dog and photogenic! No wonder you are in a funk, how do you top it? Seriously, you are so talented. I love your videos.

That Rocco is like the Canadian version of the Energizer Bunny.

Another wonderful Foresty and Rocko adventure. You could (and sometimes do) even make boiling water interesting. Thank you!

Brother you have the most beautiful picture shots ever

When the van is rockin' Foresty is gettin' her clean.

Loving the simple life ... thanks for sharing. Rocko has to be the happiest dog on the planet. She can bounce off trees! Really enjoy Rocko video.

Lol, you made a puppy slide out of your dash!!! Priority is Rocko as it should be....

Man you must have a smile on your face most of the time with that ball of energy being a big ol dork!

I’m almost 2 yrs sober. Father’s Day will be my 2 yr 🎉😊

Nie mogę uwierzyć! Niedzielny wieczór a ja oglądam jak ktoś sprząta swój dom ( na kółkach). To tylko u Foresta możliwe! 👍😃

In 100 years from now, this channel will be the final frontier of living in a van down by the river.

I was scared for you. Those rocks you were climbing and then you had to go back down, get the camera and go up again. Omg. That dog is unbelievable. So cute. Full of energy.

Can you believe we all find the simple choir of you cleaning your van worthy of watching, yet we do? Funfact: Once a pancake is flipped improperly its damn unfixable! Amazing drone views from the summit!

My wife and I are big dog lovers, meaning, large dogs. My wife always said if she ever had a small dog it would be a Jack Russell Terrier, they are “big dogs in a little dog’s body”. After watching Rocco I am convinced! Watching her grab that stick about five times the size of her body made me lol 😂

Glad to hear you're finally feeling better!

Rocko’s energy is unbelievable

I took a break from alcohol myself after having at LEAST one beer a day for over 10 years. I went to the fridge one night and had no beer left. It was 8 o'clock at night so I just figured I'd wait till the next day. The next day, the same thing happened, I forgot to get beer early enough. The next day I figured I'd just go a few more days, give myself a bit of a break from it. One week turned into one month which turned into one year, which turned into three years. I had no real desire to drink at all during all that time. But one day I just said "enough of this" ... lol. And I bought a bottle of brandy. I still went about another 6 months without a beer and just last week had my first beer in 3.5 years. I can't say that I felt any better at any time during my alcohol vacation. If you don't over do it normally, I don't think you notice any difference at all when you stop.

The frequent uploads are appreciated

“By the grace of sheer stupidity, I continue on.” Words to live by. 🫡

As always two thumbs up 👍👍. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen such a muscular little dog… Rocko seems to be a perfect companion.

Wow 2 FF vids in one week, NICE!

Foresty and Rocko. A match made in Heaven if ever there was one. What joy you bring to us. Thank you.

Thanks Foresty and Rocko for another great video, love them, they always brighten my day 😊.

The last thing I want to do is be preachy about alcohol, but man. As someone who also gave up the booze just over two months ago, what a difference. No mental fog, no hangovers, and so much energy and motivation. I ran my first 5k today and did so under 30 minutes. I hadn't ran over two miles my entire adult life up to this point. Life is better without it. Cheers Foresty 👍

From Deb…hate to overuse the word, but that was nothing short of Epic!! And I love the music that you chose at the end for the drone footage. And sheesh that dog is fearless!

“Cookin’ and hikin’”. Love it all! And I love seeing Rocko climbing. What a bundle of energy she is. Excellent video. Thanks! 👍👍👍👊😎

Best channel on KZfaq by a mile!

I loved it when Rocco had the big stick... social media has totally infected my brain... all I could think was "Foooooound a stick on the ground and now I'm gonna use it, all this power that I found, gonna totally abuse it..." X-D

I appreciate your incredible wit......always spontaneously injected into your videos. Clever one, you!

Sorry to here about the Alberta fires. We've been getting the second-hand smoke in Nebraska. Great climb video.

Goodness Rocko was a rocket at the end of hike as if she had never done the peak bagging earlier. Truly inspiring :)

Let's just appreciate at 10:30 or so he still had to come back down to collect his camera...

SO HE DOES OWN A PLATE!!

Living the simple life. Sounds like a great way to go. Beautiful hike and the drone shots are so good. That Rocko is one bundle of energy. Good luck staying away from the wildfires. Take care, Al

Just a bit...,to cover your bill for a windshield and a 🤠 hat you lost...I don't want you to go back to the factory... Patiently waiting for the re-establishment of your Patreon account, please 🥺🥺❤️

Rocko will surely go down in the Guinness Book of World Records

Rocko coming out of the sleeping bag was great

It's awesome to see Rocko braving the peaks. Trust your dog,he will always show you the safest way. Love your vids. Always laid back and easy watching.

Be careful with too much cleaning … if it is anything like my car the accumulated grime is the only structurally sound component.

I hope the whole world is watching ya'll.

I think foresty was definitely a mountain Billy goat in most of his past lives!

Rocko is really a mountain goat.

Thank you for the wonderful videos and stories.

*I hope you realize how lucky you are to see that beautiful part of the world that not many get to see in person. It's amazing. It would be a dream to get to see it like you get to.* 💙💚

Its absolutely amazing you hike those precarious rocks at 6000 ft, while dealing with a dog, while filming!! 😱

Thanks for taking us along with you and Rocko, she just amazes me with her get up and go! Glad to hear you’re feeling better for not drinking beer; I stopped beer in 2013 and haven’t touched it since. After 7 weeks I noticed my shoulders lift, I felt taller, fewer negative thoughts, more energy, now much happier. I still drink cider, port and wine but only once or twice a month it doesn’t have the same depressive affect on me as beer. Happy travels! Simon (I’m Simon as well)

Always excited to see a new episode of Foresty ready to watch. Rocko and her big stick during campfire prep was my favorite moment. 🙂

You're a terrific filmmaker, Foresty. Thanks for bringing your viewers to the spectacular mountaintops. One suggestion-- buy yourself a folding chair for 'living large' by the fire!

Foresty Forest He cleans up his van 🎵 Foresty Forest!

I'm converting to Van life. Inspiration, Foresty Forest. You're the best mate. But I will not be doing any hiking. 😁

Thank you for the sentimental concern on the Alberta wildfires, Foresty Forest. Not ideal way to spend our summer season, but we do what we can to endure it and hope and pray it doesn't last as long as they say it might. God speed on your climbing adventures. Take care. Stay safe. ❤

"Just doing a little hiking"...Foresty Forest. Another wonderful video, with amazing drone footage.

This is a good description of what the meaning of “putting lipstick on a pig” means

Rocko is such a cool dog! She's always up to something haha, great video FF!

Thanks again for sharing the adventures! Looks like up north may be the way to go this summer. The smoke and heat are unfortunately already here.

Your Van Life channel puts to shame competitors alike. It's the best thing since Kebabs on sliced bread pita.

UNBELIEVABLE-OUT OF THIS WORLD FOOTAGE! Please be careful Foresty Forest we all ❤ and care about you and Rocko!

You are churning out videos! I really thought we wouldn’t see you for a couple months

❤that was a great video, Rocco slipping out of your sleeping bag 😂she is so adorable. Such sweetness in her love for every thing you do 😎stay safe 🙏🏻💗
