Makes sense why FF hasn't posted this past week. He was grieving...

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. RIP crockpot bro

My wife: Josh, are you crying over there? Me: No, it's just...allergies. RIP Crockpot, you were a true companion.

our beloved crock pot will be missed. rip

RIP Slowpoke.. the only 500,000 mile crock pot in Canada.

Me 2 months ago: "Why is everyone so into his crockpot?" Me Today: "Crock Pot NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo..."

" Remember that there are humans on the other side of that sorting line" That's the kind of person you are and why you are so valuable in this world. Nice, very nice

Never thought i’d shed a tear over the “death” of a second-hand crockpot that shares a van with a guy in the Canadian wilderness, but life’s funny that way 😐

That Crockpot was slowly rusting to death in a Goodwill. Just when it was about to slip into a dusty coma, you took it out on the road, showed it the world and made it an international superstar! It might be gone now, but it went out swinging baby! Like Neil Young says "It's better to burnout, than to fade away." RIP Crockpot.

Getting harder to explain to friends that I love to watch a guy that lives in his van, cooks in an old crockpot (RIP), and does parking lot carpentry. Worth it.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that he hikes so far and still backtracks a bunch of times to show us in the video clips? Thank you! Great video, as usual!

"Not even gonna be slightly authentic." Dude, youre one of the most authentic people ive seen.

"It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear friend, CrockPot. Survived by its best friend and confidante, Simon, Crock was a simple pot, living its best life in 4-6 hour increments of pure joy by its best friends' side. Having travelled through all of western Canada, and with a range of flavours constantly being created within its warm walls, you could say it was a seasoned Crockpot, who lived life to it's fullest, surely to leave your heart as warm as a channed Killy. You will be missed, Crock". Pot, Crock 2019-2021

I know that mountain well, have been up there many times in my younger years. That structure on the peak is the old Canadian National Railways microwave tower. The road was built to to bring up a tanker of diesel fuel every August to run the electric generator. A fiber optics network made the tower obsolete. One day a friend stepped off his snow machine at the peak and disappeared through the cornice. A tragic event. Another time forty five years ago I was driving up that road and my land rover was charged by a moose. The moose won that battle. Now I live 250 km to the south and get along with a cane or walking stick. Have fond memories of the Robson Valley and friends who are all gone now. Stay safe Forest. You are one of our best - a national treasure.

I was not emotionally prepared for the unexpected passing of the "Crockpot Channel" star. You're a good co-host for carrying on the legacy

I think I’ve lost my mind! Please tell me I’m not the only one crying over the loss of this slow cooker!?!😳🥺😩😥😭

Who knew so many people would feel connected to a crockpot. RIP great traveler...

I have never been sad about an appliance owned by someone else before...RIP crockpot. Safe travels Forest

He not only has every handyman skill possible, he climbs mountains, puts together amazing travel videos and editing, and garnishes his videos with elegant piano music!

RIP slow cooker, the most adventurous slow cooker out there. Gone where no slow cooker has gone before. I'm sure ol' CP would love a mountain view in it's retirement.

Just thinkin - can you imagine - slow cooker lives in a house used once in awhile - then discarded to thrift store, unloved and wondering why (like a good dog) - then in walks Foresty Forest - out of all places - picks slower cooker like a ‘rescue ‘ and slow cooker is off for the greatest adventure of any slow cooker EVER! Just fills my heart like a fairy tale. Slow cooker dreams do come true ! ❤️😁❤️

Rest in peace crockpot. So many memories

Crock pot last longer than my last marriage..... I'm gonna miss you crocky..

Here lay Crock Pot, who slow-cooked across the north, as Foresty Forest hiked back and forth, and though our hearts ache to see him go, may his resting place be full of baby wipes underneath the Canadian snow.

I just came here for the crockpot replies, I was not disappointed.

You need to know, Foresty, that you are among the very best You Tubers - apart from your video skills (editing and drone work) and your “hiking and biking`’ achievements, it’s your authenticity that makes for compelling viewing. Your humility is refreshing in this “look at me” age. I speak as someone who spent more than 40 years in television, mostly as a foreign correspondent, who’s “got all the T-shirts” (and a fellow colonial!). I wish you everything you would wish for yourself, my friend. No one deserves it more.

Just last week I dreamed of your crockpot. RIP crocky

I too worked at a recycling plant, and now don't forget to rinse out my dairy waste. I'll never forget the smell of deeply rotten milk. *shivers*

That was a nice montage with crocky. Was a kind gesture. RIP old friend.

That $10.00 crockpot from the thrift store is kinda like the senior adopted pet from the rescue center. Both are kinda old when you get them, and provide a bunch of love and affection while they are here, but so sad when it is their time to pass on.

You gave Crock-Pot pot a good life. I'm sure not many other crock pots got to make deep dish pizza or travel so much. My deepest condolences.

Damn RIP to one of the most adventurous crockpots this side of the 49th parallel

I can see how Mr Crockpot could enjoy his afterlife as a part of a Geocache.

FF you are a multi-expression Artist of great talent. The drone footage, other worldly, the 100% no fluff content (that other YTubers would have parsed out, making a whole video on each topic). It is poetry the way you reveal a story from the music, dry humour, videography to the plotline... I mourn the crockpot but the counterpoint is the beauty of the story of the blown glass object with no purpose other than joy, so pure. Carrying with you a beautiful, fragile "survivor" found in the literal bowels of humanity... what a talisman of everything meaningful and wise from high to low in a lifetime. It's not what you do (it is that too) but how you relate that is so classic and amazing. I'm utterly sincere, take the damn compliments!!

“Do what you gotta do, to do what you want to do.” Some words I truly will live by. Thanks Foresty. :)

That slow cooker lived a more adventurous life than i ever will

Well now I want to do a pilgrimage out to the crockpots final resting place once she's there. Such a fantastic way to honor it. Rest in peace.

The drone footage of the steep drop, the snow and fog combined with the piano is absolutely beautiful...

Rest in peace Crockpot, you may be gone but you will live forever in our hearts.

this ones a banger FF, love the droneage set to piano music

Forest, I've been following your journey since the beginning. I'm a sick old man who's been in the hospital a lot. 5 surgeries in 4 months, twice in a coma. When not in the hospital I live in van also, but not by choice. Your vids give me hope. I take strength from you. I can't send money, but please know you bring me joy.

RIP Crockpot. o7

Its not just a big sad loss for Foresty Forest but a big loss to all the fans who had been with Miss Crock Pots journey since the beginning...........Every rose has its thorn.......just like every night has its dawn...just like everyday Crock pot sings its last sad songg..........you will be missed Crock Pot 😥

That mountain top footage on Canoe Mount was breathtaking.

Rest well old friend. You did wonders and bettered more lives than you know; go in peace.

RIP CROCK POT, that was a beautiful epilogue.

It was rejected. It survived and it was found. Now it is famous. It travelled across landmarks and today is displayed for thousands of people around the world.

RIP Crocky we’re going to miss you.

FYI everybody, Foresty has been posting some great exclusive videos over on Patreon. All the more reason to become a supporter if you aren't one already!

my vacuum died yesterday but this news hits harder for some reason

R.I.P. Crocky! Fantastic drone footage!

Maybe I'm the only one but I watch sometimes and I can feel myself there, living that life, feeling that kind of freedom and those unique challenges... I hope I can handle it with as much grace and sense of adventure as Foresty does. That's the dream.

Also enjoyed the mentioned of the folks who pick through our trash - the invisible people whose jobs help make our lives pleasant...yet rarely recognised or respected...

I'm really sorry to hear about your Crockpot dying out on the trail with you. It sucks, and she was a loyal companion for your for a long time. Instead of being sad about it, I like to think that you rescued her from that thrift shop as she was on her way out anyway, and that you gave her last days a lot of adventure and purpose. I'd rather spend my last days out adventuring in the Canadian wilderness than stuck on a shelf in a Goodwill.

I plan to make a slow cooker meal tomorrow in honor of crocky RIP

May crocky slowly cook delicious meals in the afterlife. RIP

Found my self screaming “NOT THE CROCKPOT” as i watched this on my lunch break. Awesome drone footage.

RIP Slow Cooker! 😢 definitely leave her at the top of a summit. I’m gonna lower my own slow cooker at half mast.

FF’s crockpot. Tom HANK’s “Wilson”. Both true friends.

Imagine the stories that slow cooker could tell. RIP legend.

Foresty losing the slow cooker, it's like Batman loosing Robin 😢

The instant pot duo is a Thing of beauty ~ 3 qt = 700 watts 6qt = 1000 watts I had the exact same crock pot as you. I cried when it broke. Let it out Forest we Understand 💔

I am a professional chef, and I'm truly impressed by your culinary creativity, using minimal ingredients and equipment. Working in restaurants, I have almost every gadget at my disposal, and pantries full of everything I need. I applaud you. Always travel safe.

May the crockpot rest in peace, being one of the few crockpots to have travelled in the Canadian wilderness. You will be missed

We need a Forresty Forest signature slow cooker.

Such a cool segment on the summit with everything looking so ethereal and ghostly and then the 2 forestys meeting one another. Well done!

My condolences for your loss she was always there for you but now she will be a memorial on top of a mountain for all to visit and touch.

Foresty...the type of guy who climbs Mount Everest in a few hours just to get back to his Crockpot.

Take time to mourn, but apparently Mr. (Ms.?) Crockpot missed Mr. (Ms.?) Old Minivan so much he/she could bear no more to be separated (although I guess technically Minivan is not yet deceased, but nonetheless separated from us...). RIP old friends... I swear I will someday climb to the summit to the resting place of Crockpot to sign the ledger and pay my respects to the beloved countertop appliance...😢

The crock cooks for angels...I'm gettng misty here

The feeling about the closed border is mutual. I can't wait to get back in Canada again!

The music at the end is really great.

The fact that the crockpot meals was the way I found you, it’s such a sad thing to see her go, so many meals I did not think was possible you created in her. RIP to the ForestyForest Crockpot. The flashbacks was the best part

12 shot salute to a dedicated warrior, RIP .

I came for the views, but I've stayed for you and everything you bring to the table. Keep it up forestry forest and never stop. I will watch your videos as long as you upload.

Soo pretty, yet so deadly . The drone footage of that overhanging snow was wicked .

I know this may seem too soon and tell me if it’s inappropriate, but you’re single now, I’m sure there’s a big market for younger, better looking crockpots waiting to be picked up.

Absolutely beautiful photography! Forest you have the eye of an artist.

I couldn't stop rewinding and cracking up with you when you were trying to say switchbacks hahahahah

I'm not a hiker, I don't have a van, & I don't own a slow cooker, but thanks to Foresty I wish I did! I'd like to Also mention how much I enjoy the videography, composition & editing! Thank you ForestyForest!

We're all here for you FF. Losing such a dear friend is hard. You have my condolences. RIP Slow Cooker.

I feel like a part of my life has been completed now that we know the story behind the glass thing.

Crocky - gone, but not forgotten!! 😢

R.I.P crocky. No other cooking device can RIVAL you.

RIP Crockpot. Thoughts and prayers with everyone in the comments today.

That trip down would have been a good time on some skis

I refurbed my crock pot, reattached the heating wires, cleaned up the rust... it worked ok, but in the end, the switch was bad (didn't work in low, only high) and buying another thrift store crock pot for $7 was the easiest fix. I couldn't find a new switch that would fit inside the case. These things are built to a price point, they're all rusty inside once you wash them a few times. That dang one-way nut on the bottom is designed to thwart reassembly too. Anyhow thanks for the memories that will live on in our hearts forever, and the recipes as well! (PS, since you don't have solar, running the big inverter for 80-160W slow cooks may not be the most efficient thing. Pressure cooking will use less energy total (1200w peak, but only intermittently after it heats) You can also saute in the instant pot.

RIP slow cooker. I never thought we'd miss you but you became a thing.

A moment of silence for Crock Pot, really like your idea for it's final resting place, and looking forward to what you decide on for the next Cooking unit (NCC 1701A). 😎 The drone footage from the summit, mind blowing sir. Thanks for the Chicken al a Foresty Forest recipe and the van building update.

RIP good buddy, a hero to many. Hope you're up there cooking wings and ribs for Hendrix and Einstein

Extraordinary footage!! What a beautiful country we have!! One can appreciate it so much more through Forestry! RIP crockpot...but you will have a new one soon. And a safer one too.

That last bit at the end really gave me even more appreciation for the length of these hikes.

Oh well. You know, Sartre says, that "one always die too soon, or too late." Never on time :) RIP Crockpot. Good to see you back on the trails, Foresty. Cheers from Bulgaria!

Love the drone footage, RIP to the slow cooker.

Dude that was the absolute sickest mountain footage ever.

R.I.P. Mr. Crockpot🙏🏻😭 You were such a great find and you were a great friend to Foresty 😥

Anyone else crying over the loss of our dear friend? 😭

There's some beautiful cinematography in these... well done

Nooooooooo R.I.P. beloved crockpot 😿🙏🏽🕊 Thank You for the breathtaking views & beautiful music 🥰

Just remember your rescued crock pot was loved in her last days. RIP
