That dog will never know or understand just how lucky she is. If Forestry hadn't adopted Rocco, it would just have ended up with a regular family, getting out mostly in the backyard and the occasional walk around the neighbor. Not many dogs get to explore the world and visit mountain tops, rivers, big forests.

From Sydney, Australia. Kangaroo meat is probably equivalent to your bison meat.....not everybody would buy it as an everyday protein. You can buy it in the local supermarkets....similar price to beef. Interesting you can find it over in Canada. First time commenting here. Been watching your videos about a year now and thoroughly enjoy them.....one of the best videos to watch. It has everything and your cinematography is on par with the very best and even better than many. I am going back watching your earlier fat bike videos. Keep safe and well. And give Rocko a tummy rub for me.

Same. I started with Foresty when KZfaq told me about a guy who lived in a van and then watched every video Foresty ever posted. A TL:DR version is basically that "living in a van is better than having room mates that were loud and didn't pick up after themselves and having to pay rent plus the commute" and something went off in my head. Well, I have 3 really young kids so I live vicariously thru Foresty's videos and dream of the day when I can just go... Some of Foresty's videos show, IMHO, the only way a man should live in today's world, if you have the means to afford it...

OEM pads will come with new hardware, yes, but any local aftermarket parts supplier should have these on the shelf. If someone is desperate and we’re out of them, I’ll rob them from a set of pads and order in the hardware to replace what’s missing. I’m sure you’ll find a good place that will do this. It’s also not recommended to replace pads for noise without doing the rotors since the pads transfer material to the rotors. Introducing new pad material to an old rotors is inviting more noise issues.
