T shirt slogan right there

🐻 smelling the Ninja Foodie steam ? ( where do you store the Tent vs. the Ninja's cooking location ?)

my canadian american dad always says that, now I know where it comes from.

That air fried Cajun Salmon Foresty cooked a few nights ago might be the residual aroma that attracted a bear connoisseur!

Here's to Foresty making a bear stew or chili like Shawn James on MySelfReliance.

Seems.

Safety in numbers

Is it? Those two seems to be no strangers to danger.

Forresty is invincible.

Those friends have probably done it before.

I feel stupid for not realizing until this video how useful the drone is for wayfinding

Game of Drones.

You can actually speak directly to him, this is his channel. He’s a real human.

Yogi and Boo Boo strike again!!

LOL

And get that gun soon for the love of god!

@@kabukidreamboy why don't you give him yours?

Amen to That!

Pontiac builds excitement! :D

Crazy canadians. They drive their 2 wheel drive vehicles anywhere without thinking twice

Same man I couldnt believe it

Whatever gets from a to b. Dont think that was their first rodeo. To them it was all about the adventure of the climb along with a bonus to have FF accompany them.

Dude with dreads and a sketchy car from 25 years ago...

And the snow getting softer.

Exactly what what I was thinking😱

Yeah, anybody can climb up...it's the downclimbing that will kill you.

@@JeanMarie561 Me too.

That’s the thing about climbing/hiking-even before you take your first step, you have to understand that you have to go back, even when you make it all the way to the top! So planning your ascent and decent, are both critical. Nobody can predict where the wildlife are, especially the predators. Hiking 🥾 especially mountaineering/climbing are definitely things that require a lot of thoughtful planning.

Maybe not. Lots of tenderfoots trying to do what FF does and then needing to be rescued. That avalanche was impressive. At first I thought it was a waterfall. Imagine hiking with the roar of avalanches in your ears all day. Ah, the sound of late spring.

Bear wanted an autograph! 😂😆😄 He will be bragging to all the other bears that he hung out in Foresty Forest's tent.

What a nice comment! 👍

❤

Great comment. 🇨🇦✌🏽

it was excellent footage, particularly at daybreak

Thank you!

No kidding! Almost gave me vertigo just watching it.

At this rate #300 will be Everest from the Tibetan side lol.

Sadly we lost 2 climbers in jasper recently.

@@heykerryann I'm surprised he didn't mention the loss considering his Facebook fan page made mention of the slide.

Foresty does not say much about where he is, other than the names of little known mountains whose names I recognized, but after a lifetime of living in BC and Alberta and studying Western Canadian geography, I can provide information to those watching around the world. This is along the British Columbia - Alberta provincial border just west of Banff and Jasper National Parks on the west (BC) side of the Rocky Mountains, in the Columbia Icefield region, the largest glacier system in the range, and it also has the largest collection of high peaks, 12 over 3300 meters / 11,000 feet above sea level, and 3 more over 3650 meters / 12,000 feet. If the mountains seem higher, it is because the valleys are very deep here, descending to around 3000 feet above sea level, or even lower. Only Mt Robson, about 150 km / 90 miles north of here, is higher in Canada's Rockies, and it is right on the Yellowhead Pass Highway #16. The east side of the Columbia Icefield is easily accessed by the world-famous "Icefields Parkway" highway which connects Banff and Jasper National Parks. There are numerous videos of it on YT, and it is very busy in summer. The west side, where Foresty is here, was inaccessible as recently as the 1970's (except by the most skilled and determined wilderness travellers, involving a week or more of travel) until the logging roads were built in the 1980's and 1990's originating in the small towns of Golden and Valemount, about 120 km / 80 miles away, one to the south and one to the north. Anyone contemplating travel on these roads should check locally first with the British Columbia Forest Service Office, some are active logging haul roads, and may be closed for safety reasons. Those that are open are very risky to travel on due to remoteness, weather, mud, floods, slides, washouts, fallen trees, un-maintained bridges, overgrown shrubbery, steep hills, potential tire punctures are all things that can affect you, and numerous bears, cougars and wolves exist, the majority which will leave humans alone if proper techniques of co-existence are followed, just as they do in the nearby National Parks. Be aware you could get trapped in a remote area and assistance could be days or even a week away by foot. Satellite phones will work, cellphones do not. There are no residents or services between Golden and Valemount, the huge Kinbasket Lake Reservoir since 1975 fills the main valley, just 800 meters / 2500 feet above sea level, called the Rocky Mountain Trench, between these towns. It is the flooded headwaters of the Columbia River, the same river that empties into the Pacific Ocean 1600 km / 1000 miles downstream along the Oregon-Washington State border in the USA. Early explorers and fur traders actually travelled to the mouth of that river at Fort Astoria in Oregon in the early 1800's from Jasper House, a trading post near the present day town of Jasper, Alberta. 00:00 - 00:10 - looking north into Jasper National Park, Jasper Park is 8800 sq km / 4200 sq miles. 00:10 - 00:40 - along the very remote Bush River Valley, just above Kinbasket Lake 03:15 - 04:35 - ascending the very remote west side of the Columbia Icefield. Most of the views look southwest. 04:38 - Mt Columbia, second highest peak in Canada's Rocky Mountains 12294 feet above sea level. You can see it through binoculars from the top of the Kicking Horse Ski Resort at Golden BC, 120 km / 60 miles away. It is not visible from highways. 04:45 - North Twin Peak in the distance, third highest in Canada's Rockies, 12085 feet above sea level, South Twin 11684 feet in front of it. This looks east into Jasper National Park. The Icefield Parkway highway is on the other side of these peaks, in a 4000 - 6000 foot high valley. 04:55 - Mt Bryce 11507 feet at left top, Bush River Valley leading to the flooded Columbia River about 50 km distant in center. 06:02 - Behind Foresty the Rockies stretch west into BC, west of the Rocky Mountain Trench and Kinbasket Lake they are called the Columbia River Mountains, better known by their sub-ranges of the Cariboo, Purcell, Selkirk and Monashees. Famous for helicopter skiing, they end about 250 km / 150 miles west of here. 07:00 - looking west to the super-remote Chaba (Indigenous People's word for beaver) Icefield. 07:23 - looking south into Banff National Park in the distance. Banff Park is 5500 sq km / 2500 sq miles. 15:00 - looking west into British Columbia. 15:05 - looking north into Jasper National Park. Foresty said snowmobiles sometimes come up here from the town of Golden, but they have to be careful not to enter the National Park, as the boundary is "hard to find". Note it's a trip for a highly expert, highly experienced snowmobile group ONLY, winter temperatures -10C to -50 C. 15:15 - looking east into Alberta where Banff and Jasper National Parks join together. Many smaller and lesser known parks join on to them. Total protected area is about 20,000 sq km / 10,000 sq miles. 15:16 - in the center is the valley holding the Icefield Parkway highway. South to Banff, north to Jasper. I lived many years in both towns working in the tourism industry, commercial and residential development is EXTREMELY restricted and controlled by the Canadian National Parks Service. People may wonder how I know all this. I study Western Canada, and have lived here all my life, now 60 years. I have hiked and climbed in many places, travelled like Foresty for many years, lived in many towns, read all the excellent guidebooks, geography books, historical books, many now out of print, that have been published for decades on this region, and studied countless topo maps for hours at a time, just for fun.

The only way to avoid it doing stuff twice is to bring a handglider, wingsuit or something. But that would be pretty awesome, only downside is having to haul it up there.

Yeah same. I lived in fernie, bc and I got myself in a few precarious climbs…going up is relatively easy it’s the descent that made me think I’d die that day

Yes; I've noticed when he's hiking, he seems like a totally different person...he goes from being an ordinary guy, who lives in a van; to a super hero hiker out on the trail with a huge smile!!

And he looks cute too

😀nod to WhiteSnake🤘🕺✌😎

Poor bear was so disappointed. All of that fascinating scent was nothing but an empty red sleeping bag.

Glad somebody else noticed it!

That was good content.

The FIRST summit was like a mini documentary. Then he went up a SECOND one. Like WTF!?

Love your channel, VP!

Hey VP, maybe you could climb a fruit tree to show the fruitarian in his natural habitat, hahaa...just bustin your balls, love your videos

O

Actually the hike was exhilarating but the crockpot meal takes the gold (butter).

My thoughts exactly :)
