Return of the theme song!!!

I’ll have to up my game to stay ahead of the AI! Cheers Simon!

Love the scenes where Rocko just stands there for you to come back for your camera.

A tired dog is a happy dog!

Wow! Imagine the effort in the 1940s to get all that building material up there. Thanks for sharing it with us Forresty

Let's break this down: 1) Sitting in a van, in a gravel pit, 2) making a sumptuous breakfast, 3)setting off to perform excellent stewardship on the trails with adorable, trusty side-kick , Rocko! 4) fords a COLD creek barefooted 5) hiking like a complete mountain goat - with trusty Rocko! 6) takes us on a tour of a mining site I would never, ever have seen in real life, complete with excellent drone footage 7)returns to van with Rocko, both in one piece 8) cooks a scrumptious gourmet dinner. 9) finds time to do a book review with us 10) excellent shot of that gorgeous girl to wrap it up! All of the above in just 11:22 mintues! Foresty, you and Rocko are just absolute treasures! I've seen posts that were twice as long and only 1/3 as interesting and entertaining. Thank you for your hard work to share with us. You efforts are very much appreciated! Ya'll take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next adventure! 🧡🧡☺☺🥰🥰🐶🐶 P.S. I live in a house, work a 9-5 job and the very best I could manage so far today is a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread for breakfast! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

4:00 rocko is like I know you’re coming back for this so I’ll just stay right here 😂

Hey... the INTRO is back... Hey FF!!!

YAY the intro

That scene when Rocko stopped running after you just waiting for you to turn around and collect your camera!!❤❤❤😂😂😂 She's SO smart!!

Since you shut off your Patreon...here's my contribution! Looking forward to your next advdnture!

Forestry's theme song is now a nostalgia to me 😅🥲

Yes, return of the theme song, hiking, biking, trail clearing, two air fryer meals and an equal number of book reviews, this one is a treasure trove!

I think a lot of us missed the Foresty Forest theme,welcome back.

I'm so happy to hear the theme song!

Forresty....your videos are like someone giving me a ice cold drink while I'm in the hot dry desert. 😊

I bought the same exact Ninja pressure cooker / air fryer as you so I can just copy everything you make. It's going really well for me so far!

Good to hear the Foresty Forest theme song! Absolutely amazing drone shots. “Mother Nature is a meat grinder” is a very accurate description. Both meals look so yummy! Thanks for bringing us along. Sending you & Rocko lots of hugs and love ❤️

Rocco is starting to look like a body builder, really muscled up. You made a good choice for a hiking buddy.

Who needs AI when you can see how exquisite reality is and see “mother nature is a meat grinder” in all its harshness. Another interesting segment of life with Foresty and Rocko.

Good to see you and Rocco are doing well. I like the part of the video where you rode off and Rocco took a step and was like I'm not going up there he has to come back to get his camera 😂 salmon look awesome too! Cheer's ❤️🐶👍💯

Rocco watching you ride away and waiting by the camera is to cute.

please don't ever stop so long as you enjoy it. I feel freedom when I get to see you out there.

So much goodness in a short 10 minute clip. Hiking, biking, cooking, camping, cutting trees and pet loving. .Super cool. What more could a person ask for? Great movie as always.

I enjoy your videos so very much. Hugs to you and Rocko.

Foresty Forest is now my favorite show. Love that theme song. 🎶🎵🎶🎵🫶🏻

Don't worry about AI, Forest. You are clearly one of the best and authentic storytellers here on KZfaq, and your videography and your drone shots are out of this world. You deserve millions of followers. Keep doing what you have been doing, please!

I’m stealing your salmon recipe, thanks Foresty!

YAAAAAY!! The intro song is back. I’ve been missing that. Also how smart was Rocco to sit back knowing Forest will be back for the camera. Another great vid Forest, thank you.

Rocko waits at the camera, she knows you will return 😄

Prefer the Real Deal of Foresty Forest! 💚🌲🌿 Trail maintenance is inspiring!! The day may have been gloomy but you & Rocko definitely brighten ours!! Sending Aloha 🌴🐳🩵

I'm glad to see the return of the theme song. Safe travels.

Man, words cannot express how nice it is to hear that Foresty Forest intro jingle first thing in the morning. It's gonna be a good day

I'm always impressed with meals you are able to prepare in the van and on the campfire

The theme song is back! It's a good day. ❤

Amazing how mother nature takes everything back. Once again, thank you for sharing these remote and beautiful places that we are so blessed to be a part of

A simple video? Holy cow this one ticked off every Foresty Forest box. Starts with the jingle... and the rest goes off like a perfect domino. All the longtime Simon fans know what I'm saying.

Digging the increased upload frequency, just don't burn out man.

This channel is going back to its roots. You're gonna live in a van DOWN BY THE RIVER.

04:00 Rocko stops to say 'hey dude, you forgot your phone!' 🐶

I gotta say, watching your videos over the years really gives me hope that I can escape the rent trap. I'm older and don't have the strength or electrical savvy to do a build myself, but watching you I can see that I don't have to have 200K to buy a fancy rig. I've learned what's necessary for a reasonably comfortable and sustainable home on wheels, and I appreciate watching your builds and modifications, and your day-in-the-life videos. I hope you'll be able to find a sustainable way to create content without damaging your neurological health. And if you have to step away or slow down on the videos, know that there are a lot of people out here that genuinely care about you.

I appreciate your original content! I call it Rocko’s Modern Life🐶

Just amazing that was once a bustling place! And then they just walked away . . .

I love how Rocco guards the cam when you leave it and peddle by... toooo cute..

Only bringing out the theme song for the rare episode is great. It creates more demand. You make us yearn for it 😂

Love the intro music return! Cheers to you and Rocko, killer editing job as usual

Hooray, the jingle's back... makes me smile every time..😁

Love the old intro , I'm eating hashbrowns and eggs watching this . 👍🏼😃

Love this video. These places that existed in history, yet few people get to see the remains. And you are the brave one to go get the footage for all to see. Wow! I love it. ❤

Thanks Simon , and Rocco. The drone shots , as usual , were amazing ! The old mine looked like sticks that got tossed .

I absolutely love that Rocko hair on the salmon at 8:48. Dog people just know, but don't care.

YAY the theme song!! 🎶. It’s catchy and I find myself singing it around the house while I do my chores 😄

The Foresty Forest theme song is back!! YAY! Rocco is such a cutie, I loved it when she hung back while you rode on, like she was saying, "hey you left something here" :)

I always love to see a foresty forest video when I open KZfaq. I don’t know how I found you but you are sincerely one of my favourites.

That breakfast looks good.

Homeostasis reset these last few videos. Just feels like something has been calibrated back to it’s optimum state of TLC❤

04:00 Rocko isn't no dummy! She knows when you leave your camera behind you're gonna double back for it! 😅

You're right about these old mining sites. True story: I used to live in Kennecott and it is a crazy place.

My Dear Lone Wolf, You are one intriguing dude. You casually drop a big one by saying "I've talked myself out of everything I have to share for now " You'll share when you're ready. Godspeed.

More epic drone video. Really great to watch.

Thanks, as always. Your content is always peaceful. Safe travels.

That mine site looked really neat and that dinner looked incredible. Coming out to BC in July in our new Class B Camper van. We'll be doing a bit of forestry road camping.

Hey, the best theme song ever!!!

I'm preparing my van and my life and soon, very soon, I'll be ot there exploring. Thanks for the inspiration and the honest videos you put out. Hope to see ya out there one of these days. Safe travels

Hey Foresty forest that was a fun video. It was a beautiful spot. It was cool seeing that old Mining cabin and the drone footage was amazing. You and Rocko always make my day. You guys are so much fun. Be safe out there. I look forward to next video.🇺🇸♥️👍🙂🙏🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦

Seeing those crumbling buildings reminds me of something a me to told me years ago “nature always wins out”.

Those words "see you in the next one" fills me with joy just as much as watching your vids 😊 Don't ever stop Foresty 😎 Your work is art

*That was so neat. They built those buildings right on the ridge.* *You are so lucky to see those places.* 💚

Neat, haven't caught your videos this close to upload, here's wishing you the best!

Love hearing that jingle, again!

Yay...the Foresty Forest theme song's back !!!!!

Hey forest I hope you're doing well. I have been a fan for a while!!!!

That breakfast and dinner looked so good! I wrote down what you put in the salmon dinner. I also enjoyed the hike up to the old mining buildings. Just to think of what they must have looked like when they were working mines is interesting. Just a side note, I lost my dog of 15 1/2 years in January and watching Rocco just makes me smile. Safe Travels

Hah. When I saw that colourful artwork for the first time, I thought back to my teen years and the crazy posters with the black light on. Nice outing and grub ! 🌲🤙

3:59 - Rocco is like "HEY, you forgot the camera mate!"

Thank you so much for sharing your adventures Hello from the philippines God bless you and keep you safe

Wow that was quite a hike up to the mountain to see that abandoned site. I wonder if you ever experienced any ghosts in some of those places. I would love to see a video dedicated to Rocko and what y'all do when you're not hiking. She's just so cute and I'm telling you she's ripped from all that running and hiking she does! I've never seen a Jack Russell that muscular! 😃❤️ Your cooking is great too.

you make it sound so glamorous

Nice, the theme songs back!

Wow, just saw the video pop up, wish I had something great to say, except all the best to you and Rocko, Foresty. Love the videos. 😊

Last time I was this early to something I had to leave my own summit book

Heck yeah, a book review too!

I have an air fryer and I have not used it since moving full time in my van. Watching this video, makes me want to use it.

Hope you're doing alright. Thanks for the vids.

Salmon looked like it was cooked to perfection. So interesting to see the devastation of those buildings. Stay safe you two.✌️

Can city.. that’s a crazy amount of tin! We are always amazed at the beauty you bring us!

This is the best channel on youtube. For me.

Man ... I would love to explore all of those old buildings with a metal detector ... I'm sure all of those old miners probably stashed all sorts of things under the floorboards and stuff ... poker winnings and personal items and such ... not much privacy in a mining camp, and even less to occupy oneself when not working!!!

Love your live action adventures.

Love it when we get the intro tunes. Seeing what you can cook up in such a small space makes me reassess my methods as a home cook 😂

The definition of restraint and discipline. Cooking 2 strips of bacon

I'm on my ebike almost everyday, but its a full size. I think your sized ebike is better equipped for being in the forest, hence Foresty Forest....take care and keep climbing !!

The drone shots are absolutely stunning!

Your story telling and video editing skills are above par. You are real,thank you for remaining so. My wife and I are true fans.

Have my Timing cover off my Vanlife Van for the first time. Replacing the timing chain set with new sprockets. New Harmonic Balancer. Water Pump. Then the Plenum pan & and Head Gaskets with a full engine rebuild after that. Even painting the timing cover and metal bypass coolant hoses & steel radiator fan. A classic 1993 Dodge Ram B250 318 Magnum Small Block. 194,000. Fiberglass roof. I can stand up inside at 5'9". Orange County CA Van for 30 Years. With no rust yet. Old enough to not need a code reader to fix. Transmission was already Rebuilt. And in pristine shape with a new tranny mount. But pre converted for solar in 1995. Runs amazingly well. Still gets 17 mpg on the freeway. Building it out with my $6000 of COVID Stimulus I have yet to spend. Building my own Lithium Ion Battery Packs for two house electrical solar systems out of individual cells. One 12 Volt to recharge with an isolator. The other at 48V or 72V. Starlink requires at least 48V. Both around 200 Amp/hrs, maybe. But also so my Van can recharge my 72V SURRON EBike DIY build I'm doing. Out of 18650 cells. At 3600 mAh. And 3.6 V/cell. 20 in series. 6 in Parallel. VIP Bluetooth BMS to be safe. But Not a Dirt bike Style SurRon. A touring/backcountry style one on a light frame with front & back shocks. And disk breaks. A used bike frame with detachable battery for urban use.

Man I've missed that intro lol 🍻🍻🍻

It's always a good day when Foresty Forest drops a new video. I love this 'day in the life' stuff with all the cooking! Wow, mother nature tore that mining site up! I would maybe expect that kind of annihilation after 100 years, but there was conduit and oriented strand board, so the construction was sometime after the mid-60s.

Oooo! A Steve Wallis cross over video with Foresty Forest!! I'm in!

FINALLY...a video for the rest of us- something we can all relate to: rocks, Rocco, van-life, and an air fryer. Damn....looks like I'm buying another appliance. GREAT drone shots per usual on ANOTHER epic hike- that NOBODY else does!!!!

Can’t beat gravel and air fryer🚐😎🐈
