yup... lol

Hell yeah I got out of bed to get my snacks

it's 7:07am here in my town 😅😅😅

@@clearwater9118 cool man, do you drink shit water?

life is nuts no?? hahaa

Because he"s never wrong!

He edited out all the @#$***

reminds me of my late husband who grew up on a dairy farm. He could do anything with a good nature.

Canadians are nice and no drama unlike many other nations where everything is a massive deal.

@@mop2254 Canadian here ... we have plenty of drama queens here as well

Yes, my same thoughts!

delicious

I can't even go outside when it's colder than 10* F.

I don't lay on concrete anymore. Much less snow in -30c

Those Canadian gals will just love Foresty Forest! They will be banging on his door!" If they don, t find you handsome they might find you handy"👍!!

Foresty'Gyver he's building his van!

@@josephlwallssr6166 Can you imagine Foresty Forest and Red Green doing a show together. 👍🏻

He also manages his own youtube channel, films and edits his own videos and engages with his fans through his patreon.

😂...he wasn’t born, he was created! 😇

Now that's phunny!

You are so funny.

I think that’s because he keeps Kosher ya know

😂😂😂

Should the crock pot and fridge do battle, one wonders who the sewing machine will side with? 😎

Indeed!

OMG you mean that was a joke? I so thought it was for real 🤦‍♀️

@@HelenBradley ditto 🤦‍♀️ This is my first video with this young man & I'm gonna sub & hit the bell!

@@HelenBradley So did I. I thought it would make the wires more pliable lol

@@foodsecretsvlogs1 hahahhahaah oof

Great suggestion. When he said about the fuse I felt anxious for him. Like when I order really specific bicycle parts after I break something and it takes weeks except that's just my hobby and I don't risk freezing to death while I wait.

I have a danfoss compressor in my small marine fridge. Its been constantly running since 2001 because I use it as a freezer. It may cost more up front for Danfoss yet is a great investment for full time living.

@@cheapcigs9772 I have an Icecool JP50 with a Danfoss compressor. Used as a refrigerator to cool things to 36 degrees from 75 ambient temperature, it uses about 8 watts per hour on average. I can run it for a week on a 120Ah battery. It may use more in warmer conditions and/or used as a freezer. Figure on maybe 12 watts in a worst-case scenario, which would be 1 amp per hour.

Oh wow! I'm sitting here on planet earth reading your comment from planet earth. I can't fucking believe it!

@@TheNaKio No way dude, same planet? That is so weird that we are both sitting here watching the same stuff!

@@manuelmartensen amazing!

He is making 60 grand a year from just youtube. Anybody can add up his views

No frills too. All authentic. Doesn't try to be entertaining yet is infinitely entertaining

Let's promote this guy I look forward to this it's like the only sane part of my week sometimes.

and there is NEVER clickbait like "exploring a cave" He goes places other KZfaqrs bait about.

Being a patreon supporter is pretty much just that, the build images and other additional information are basically the dividends. Best dollar a month ever spent!

This guy inspires me so much!!

You just wrote my comment 🤣 Thank's! Jesus bless you 🕊

He is a true Craftsman. Oops, I mean Craftsperson.

Anyone know his actual name?

@@Hypeman10 Geoffrey.

Simmon

Yes, but we love the Foresty Forest song!

Lol

LOL

😂😂😂😂😂

Hehe...

@@forestyforest nice job

A real McGyver, not just playing one on TV. 🤣😅😂

And Seinfeld rolled into one.

congrats!

Wow, congratulations!

Bless your wife and family!

Sending best wishes!

Congratulations 🎉

Me too.

Agree😂😂

Ikr 😀

The way it should be. We should be celebrating our differences and be more friendly to one another. Most vanlifers get it.

Yes I can't stand ignorant people who think van dwellers are all jobless, homeless bums, mooching off of tax payers.

I live in a van ... down by the river

Canadians are the original definition of chill. They bring it out in others.

What about any of this is hard? Lol

@@LarryLeaders EVERYTHING!😁 Maybe ur equally as talented though....Me? Not so much.😁

Lol, right. ❤

lol

The boogeyvan!

I always put Monster energy drinks under my bed for this reason.

He really is the best on YT! He’s the man!

🔊🎼🎵🎶🎤🎺🎸

The song is super wak. Need a more gangster version.

Foresty Forest, he’s the crockpot dude!

Even better!

Singing it with the voice of Barry White imo definitely gives it justice. 😌

Lol

Thank you! The minivan was super cozy. Glad this one is starting to look more like a home!

@@mikejensen4238 Seneca would enjoy the simplicity of the theme tune.

@@t.m.c.740 Absolutely!!!

@Baba Ganush I actually rewatch some of his stuff every now and then to analyze his demeanor. Not a creep, lol, just very inspired by how he holds it together, even if things were edited out.

Thanks Paulo!

It’s hilarious every time he cracks out the sewing machine!...seriously, you have room for a sewing machine?

He’s the only one worth watching, most others “vanlifers” are entitled chicks who get followers only because they use bikini pics as thumbnails.

I started randomly singing that at work a couple of times, involuntarily came to mind 😆

@@ProlificInvention , I had that too hahahaha. :-)

I liked the Home Depot song intro for one video. Kinda appropriate for the install.

@@ProlificInvention Me too! I even started extending the song. Foresty Forest, he lives in a van. He sleeps by the rivers and hikes over land. FORESTY FOREST!" I should have really been focusing on some important work 😄

@@ProlificInvention I've done that walking around the house. it's pretty catchy

That's a stretch

Saint Foresty Simon lol😇💞

Not if you worked there. I'm glad I only did delivery.

Do you think the Home Depot employees watch Foresty Forest.???

pinkerton, if the HD folks workin’ corporate were smart, they’d be watching and taking notes.

I know, right! ✨

May have something to do with the warning light he got.

...about 4 hours.

Funniest thing I've seen in months. Comedy genius along with all his other multiple talents. Love it.

So true! Break down the boxes. More cardboard fits on the trucks meaning fewer trips, less fuel used, less pollution, etc..

Ive been watching since he worked in a factory. I bet the place he worked as a machinist was very sad to see him go. He is very talented and skilled

@@izang5800 - What factory was that?

@@jeffreyzain he never said for privacy reasons but imagine how disappointed they were when he left. Notice at the end of the video he says thank you to the patreon supporters for keeping me out of the factory. He mentions it almost every video. In his early vlogs when he worked he woukd mention his job a lot. Just not where it was or who he worked for

@@izang5800 - Thanks. I appreciate that back story of my fave KZfaqr 🥷🏻🎏

He is so talented! The range of ability and knowledge is superb

Agreed

Same here!

As a suggestion perhaps a large cooking pot, maybe a 12 quart pressure cooking used for canning, might be found at a second hand store and then modified to become a water storage container.

@@unclebs74 if anyone can modify it.....it’s forestry forest!!

but he has a heater

I was thinking something similar...I don't know about the newer GM's but the newer Dodges computer systems have whats called powernet(or something along those lines) and basically the engine computer(ECM-Engine Control Module) communicates with the other computers on the vehicle(transmission computer and body control module) and if it sees a electrical signal aka something pulling more power than it should or not pulling enough power than it will throw a code...most likely that is what the issue is and it might just go away on its own if the computer detects it enough times in a row or something and determines that is the new normal lol..but I would contact that alternator manufacture to make sure.

@@livingourdestiny9075 Oh how car electrics were much simpler in the 70-80's. Everyrthing worked but now it is all connected to the canbus and you can't take taps of some cables for power else you get error messages.

In America if you go to the local chain parts store they will check codes for free and reset the computer if nothing is wrong might be the same there

Obviously double check all of your wiring. On some vehicles, when you swap out our change parts, the new part needs to be made known to the vehicles computer. For instance, when I installed the factory fog lights on my VW Routan, I had to take it to the dealer and have them program the engine computer to make the fog lights "known to the computer" and part of the system before they would work.

@@Skips1964 at that point, "hack the planet" kicks in and I wanna DIY! or something...

Very questionable for exhaust manifold use. Wood smoke is relatively cool compared to manifold heat. As always read the specs and have a safety margin.

Was looking for someone's input on this (since I have none). Now that I've read this, I also wonder if a reputable mechanic with OBDII could reset and update those parameters since it's an oem alternator. Or, in FF style, just get said mechanic to say it's no big deal and live with the new ticker on the dash.

And possibly get a bluetooth OBD scanner so you can clear the code yourself (assuming no actual harm is being done).

@@iammarkstewart I have gone to Auto Value to read/clear codes. They do it for free.

You sound like a lot of fun

@@iammarkstewart first...I'm not a mechanic... but I think the real solution is a hardware swap. Most of the sensors/regulators are wired with resistors/capacitors/etc that are all analog. Summit racing or other aftermarket vendors may have an upgraded sensor/regulator (whatever the offending thing is) that can both cope with a beats of an alternator, and a factory chevy van computer.

Thank you!

@@forestyforest dude seriously ur videos are awesome U, chad from living the van life and mav really have me rethinking getting an Audi and just getting a beast ass van and going everywhere. These videos are an excellent escape from the chaotic world we live in. Thank you man!

Was thinking the same thing, unfortunately. Best to mount to the floor in a more secure cabinet. Also, the lower center of gravity will help the handling.
