I've met a lot of people in my life, but I don't think I've ever encountered anyone who seems so at peace. I envy your lifestyle sir

I remember watching this guy about 2 years ago, one of his first videos, saying he’s living in his van and just working trying to save some money. He’s still here, living in his van, absolutely killing it!! That brisket looks incredible! and this guy is cooking this from his van!!! This channel is inspiring to say the least. It just goes to show that you don’t need much to be happy!

Anyone else start laughing with his excitement after taking a bite of that sandwich? Looked great...so did the hike by the way. What an adventure!!! Thanks for sharing.

"I don't think I need anything else in my life. This is it". Sounds like you've got it figured out, Foresty. Thumbs way up.

I made it to my first summit this summer after watching your inspiring videos! Granted it was only 2,000 feet elevation. Thanks for letting us ride along on your amazing adventures!

A wholesome story of a man in a van, with his crockpot and a couple beers.

Beef Brisket- "I don't need anything else in my life". Well said my friend, well said.....

Wow! To inhabit such a small space and live such an infinitely large life! You are amazing sir!!!

Protect this man at all cost

"They want to make sure that the bears are getting a full meal, not just an appetizer." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA

The fact he does these videos and is in Canada concerned about the United States well being amazes me. Thank You Sir

A new Foresty video means I have to start cooking before I start watching. These vids always make me hungry. LOL

I always throw in a pocketknife, a bit of duct tape and maybe some matches. I never use them but I'm an old guy.

I swear, Foresty eats better than I do....from the back of his van....alone. Well, and the legendary crock pot. Legends.

OMG that scenery looks surreal! It looks like a landscape painting! Gorgeous!

That view you look at daily is priceless. Living life to its fullest. Feeling great and being happy is the plan.

You keep making sure the sauce is always saucy and you remain as Foresty as ever and we will do our best to keep you out of the factories! 👍🌲😁 We love your channel-keep up the kindness and good crockpot vibes!

No one does it better! Foresty, you have this van camping/living business reduced down to a no-nonsense science. As a cyclist, I enjoy your cycling adventures as well...you are a master of combining the two, three actually, you hiking/summits are amazing as well. Thanks for posting.

Foresty is so fucking inspirational. He hikes like a boss and makes it seem like easy peasy. He climbs mountains at the drop of a hat like its akin to going to a bathroom or something. And then to top that he makes more gourmet meals living out a van than most of us pseudo "chefs" make in our fully stocked and loaded kitchens in our homes. FF you are an incredible force my friend. I LOVE watching your videos and wish you nothing but the very best in life. I hope to meet you someday.

Survived the fires and smoke in Oregon, Thankful to live on the west side of the willamette river valley. The fires were close but there were enough natural barriers between us and them that we were able to shelter inside with our filters safely.

8:44, "I don't know if you can tell what brand they are"......LOL, hahahahahahhahaha, your sense of humor is fantastic!

Breathtaking sedimentary layers on Mt. Vaux! Love seeing highlights of geological formations in your videos.

Foresty Forest "Bob" Ross of the wild and mom van. Bro, I love your videos. I think all of us here in the states thank you for the good wishes and hope our friends and northern neighbors are staying safe and healthy.

The geology we can see from the mountain top, thanks to you, is amazing.

I saw the notification and thought, "Yay! My friend Foresty Forest is back!". I love the views, the animals, your wit and your cooking skills...that sandwich looked amazing! Thanks for inviting us into your life. :)

The only "Van-life" KZfaqr I follow. The adventures, biking, hiking, fishing ( good luck next time) , Crockpot and campfire cookouts... Keep it up, you doing a great job showing the world Canada's natural beauty. Thank you,very much Foresty!

This guy is clearly powered by spirit, otherworldly. His demeanor is so unassuming. He redefines what calmness, persistence, perseverance, and courage can mean. I have witnessed this sort of extraterrestrial presentation before. It was a guy solo running a tough mudder obstacle course years ago who had a birth defect that left him without arms. The beautiful thing is that I always feel like I am there with you. Thank you.

If you said you were in the Andes at the beginning with the music..I would have believed you! That last mountain looked hard, my legs would have been rubber going up..Great looking recipe and I love your reaction while your eating it! Take care ❤️ 🇨🇦

The way you speak its like you're talking to us while we're right next to you.....also.....DRAGO

These videos inspired me to change my life. I’m going to be 29 years old in two months. I grew up in the city my whole life and I’ve never hiked. I’ve spent the summer getting rid of a lot of my possessions, kept the necessities, and packed the rest. After years of being conditioned to live in such a polluted, materialistic, unnatural environment where we’ve been conditioned to be reliant on needless technology, self-serving short-term hedonistic gratification, and estrogen-infused super market food; I’m legit ready to move up north and live a life being surrounded by nature. I’m looking forward to learning more survival techniques and hopefully taking these kinds of trips.

As a guy who grills/BBQs alot....this dude did this right! Took the extra time to put the meat on the fire...then thickens his sauce up more. This is amazing!

For anyone watching this in Wales (like me), this mountain is AT LEAST twice as high as Snowdon. And he just called it an easy walk... lol. Absolutely stunning scenery! Love the mountains

Music: awesome Comment section: full of positivity Easily my favourite channel 👌

he's living the dream

FF you are a freaking artist, a pro, an athlete, a chef, a photographer a videographer a minimalist and obviously so many more things. I really appreciate your humble attitude, life style and staying away from toxic social media (youtube the exception) like instagram and twitter. I would understand if you did leverage Instagram and Twit due to the fact recognition is how you make money with increased exposure bringing more views, sponsors and Patreons etc...which is your job, your source of income, but I give you that much more respect because you don't. Even if you were in the most tricked out rig with 5MM subs, the latest gear sponsors knocking your doors down, I'd still love your channel due to your skills capturing your cooking, climbing, riding, touring content and your personality...economy of words. Keep it going brother. Your occupy a lifestyle niche with few competitors. Edit: and just one more thing, even your out-tro (if that's a word) was stunning, entertaining with great music as your patrons scroll by in front of that Foresty Van Gogh videoscape. Not a dull moment dude. Sometimes I like to multitask when watching vids but never with you. Each frame of content has value and thought in it. Don't change anything!!

You should be working in a top of the line photography, advertising company or, something. You are so damn talented. Cook, climb, drink beer, take pictures, and smillllee. You are amazing. Thank you

Had a bad day today and just saw the notification pop up, now I know I can turn it around

Incredible scenery, grizzly bear signs, a "what's in my bag" section - a Foresty Forest video doesn't get much better than this methinks and then you get the Lee and Perrins Worcestershire sauce out! Superb!

I'm a Clydesdale, an overweight and outta shape yet wanna be active adventure seeker ... so I appreciate your enthusiasm to make me want the adventure even more - I've started a fitness routine and hope to be out there soon makin videos and doin' our thing.. Bikin' and Hikin'

Forest Forest is a national treasure. Parks Canada needs to recognize. I can just imagine them denying him a permit. I wonder how many times "sorry" was used in that conversation...by both parties. :)

The best thing to look forward too on KZfaq. This is art

here with my cold beer and my edible, love this channel. Hopefully my business takes off and I can leave it be and travel the world. That what I work for. Thank You Foresty

You bought a smile to my face with that comment after the first bite of that brisket sandwich " i dont need anything else 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Welcome back Forest, We missed you, another spectacular video, i hear its starting to cool off...

"They want to make sure that the bears are getting a full meal". Pretty sure I've heard that once before 😂

Hi Foresty, haven’t got through the video. But I know I’m going to have a good several minutes.

You need your own cooking show. It's amazing how you cook those awesome dishes in a compact space. Nothing is impossible😊

Great video !! My wife thinks i'm crazy that i was worried about you ! Keep it up Foresty Forest !

These are the most beautiful shots you've ever gotten on camera. The haze from the smoke really makes those landscapes that much more gorgeous. You're living this photographers landscape dream!

Being trapped in the concrete jungle. Being a part of the rat race, bogged down by life. Showcasing what human life has become: a downward spiral of loneliness; depression; anxiety; stress; debt; indignity; betrayal; jobs that we don't wanna do to buy things we dont need. And the this guy comes in and shows us a different way of living. I'm 27. Turning 28 next January. I'm gonna do this.

You should definitely do that Mt. Stevens hike, my fellow viewers and I would love to see that fossil bed. Parks Canada is underestimating the power of Foresty Forest!!

What’s not to like? Jazz, cool editing, art, nature, food and information. GREAT video.

The work you go through to get your camera shots is a lot of work! Much respect for doing that. 👍 Your channel is on my top 3 list. Scenery, beer, hiking, drone shots, and cooking can't be beat by many "that I can tell you!" Really good stuff Forest!

YAY more Foresty Forest! I've been waiting for this!

Love the smile on your face when tasting the brisket sandwich. Made me laugh! Great scenery again, Canada is amazing.

Gotta love those Autumn colors, especially in Banff.

Winter is coming, rain and snow against the windows whilst warm and snug in the van 👌🏼

Foresty Forest He lives in a van Had a bad Fossily Plan Is a big Briskety Fan Foresty Forest

Nothing is as stunning and beautiful as nature. You do lucky to see these places.

Foresty Forest!!!!! HE LIVES IN A VAN

These videos are always so comfy. Sucks they're not longer.

10k away from 200k, congrats

You have a great sense of humor, Foresty Forest.

Eat well FF you deserve it. We love it so much watching you enjoying your meal all the time. What with the cycling & long fast hike to picturesque mountains. You definitely in your elements & well prepared for any inconvenience, bear wise. TQ for taking us along on your journey. The Best KZfaq Channel Right Here Folks.

He’s alive and well!

Those were some spectacular views😍 Enjoyed the music with it!

Whilst your is getting fixed, I’m watching reruns. Lovely as always

I am from the BC interior and miss it desperately, currently a member of the Canadian Army working in Europe and very much appreciate and look forward to every one of your installments.

How is he not sponsored by everyone in the universe who makes everything for outside?

Canadians are so thoughtful about their bears! ; )

I spent 10 years in the British Infantry walking (not by choice) up the hills of wales and Scotland in the pouring rain, and then Moses came and parted the Red Sea and delivered Gortex 😁😁 it was a life altering occurrence!!!! But when it came to wearing out your old faithful boots and getting new ones 😯😯 you would find yourself surrounded by 4 other guys with your feet in a hot bathtub of water. Oh the pain and agony of breaking in combat infantry boots, somehow Gortex never found its way into them. But man did Berghaus make an unbelievable pair of Gortex gaiters with rubber surrounds that you stretched over your boots. You had to sleep with one eye open in fear of someone stealing them from you 😁😁😁 awesome video again Sir !!! My 50,year old knees, hips and back say well done from the flatlands of Alberta!!!!!

Absolutely stunning views I'm sorry about all that smoke you had to breathe in. I'm in the southern San Joaquin Valley in California and we've been battling Smoke for weeks here and we're not even on fire here .Sadly a lot of California is including areas close to Yosemite which is close to my heart . Safe travels.

The last time I was this early, you still had a job in a factory! Keep up the awesome videos, Mr. Forest!

Yoooooo i was waiting for that for like , 3 days ! Thanks my dude much love

Dude, not only do I love living life through your eyes... l can also live in you're crock pot .... all looks so awesome, keep them coming, love what you do for all of us who can't get out ...

your an inspiration my guy, satisfaction found in the simplicity of life in a van doing what you love

Oh thank God I can finally have my weekly hit of dopamine

The mountains are no joke, a couple are missing in Jasper. They were hiking Mount Edith Cavell trails. Stay safe out there FF.

Man oh man do I ever love this guys videos. Such a talented cinematographer and I work in film so I would know. I’m hooked. I’ve binge watched his videos many times. It’s funny- when I don’t see Foresty on here for a bit- I actually worry. What a gem.

This is a great video...good climbs and gorgeous food. I love your new boots...they sure look durable. Thanks for taking me up the mountains with you. I am 77 years old but I climb vicariously with you. Merry Ann from Minnesota

I hope several of the companies that make your hiking gear see this video and sponsor you. I guesstimate .00001 of consumers use the same gear to this extent.

I had Brisket Sunday. The thought of using a Crock Pot never crossed my mind, which is sad since I am constantly informing my wife when the Crock Pot makes an appearance on this channel.

I appreciate you FF...from Oregon

I have to say, I love your laugh when your laughing at yourself. This and these videos are so enjoyable to watch during being stuck at home with Covid all around us. Thank you so much. We are seeing places that we never would on our own. Good blessings and stay safe.

Love the music!

That music... Thought I was inside a Mandarin restaurant.

Have been waiting all week for your video to post and just into the first 2mins and have to comment on how beautiful your screen shots make my living room look. I pause some frames and just absorb the feeling it gives me, my tv screen is pretty big, so the mountains come thru pretty majestically. Thank you for sharing your life.

" I don't need anything in my life... that is it ! " .... love it ! 👍Thank you for your videos ！

Me: what did you do today Foresty Forest? Foresty Forest: Nothing much, just climb a summit, that’s all. lol

2:18 Foresty Forest's version of "MOZY ON BACK..." is the average person's "calling in for a rescue chopper." 🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁

Holy smokes forest look at your Patrons! That’s so awesome, good for you, no Ontario factory in your future! My Daughter was doing the Van life in B.C with 3 friends but they had to head back to Banff because of the smoke & one of them got an ankle sprain during a climb. Looks like they’re going to hunker down in Banff for snow season and get some resort work and carry on in the spring.

Amazing views. Thank you for bringing us along your climbs. Be safe!

....And you wanted to RETURN that slow cooker! Haha! Told you it was a great purchase!

You should just upload a video montage of you going back to get your camera!

The views in this video are really beautiful what a good hike

Quite a foodgasm after your climb! You deserve it, thanks for all your effort!

_There's a Guy Named Bob Ross 😂 in one of his patreons list_ 😂

I'm living in Los Angeles right now and it is tough to go outside right now with the air quality from the fires all around along with COVID still having a strong presence here. Your vids help me get some "outdoor" time and really get me excited to travel and be outside again. Cant wait for the next one foresty forest, stay out of that factory!!

Two of my favourite channels, Sam the cooking guy and foresty forest.

A hike & a brisket? What else is there?? Pure awesomeness! Rock on dude -rock on!
