    Foresty Forest is a Real Canadian. Humble, modest, honest. When is the last time you heard a RUclipsr refuse to take money? Really admirable. But it makes me want to donate money to him more than ever. If anyone deserves it for the pleasure he brings to thousands of people it's Forestry Forest.

    You have a great following because of the unmatched videography and taking people like me to where I could never go. Mostly though it is the person you are or the person that comes across in the video. I for one have watched you since you started and hopefully I am not wrong, but you are one great human being. You are in it to give and in return get back what you deserve, thank you for not solely just getting money from donation for your project, and thank you for doing it yourself, it is not the hard way, but the most noble way. I know it is hard to resists free stuff and help, but you are a great guy to say hey, I can do it myself, why take advantages of these people. That is the attitude we should all take, there is no shame in getting help when you need it, but it is shameful to ask for help when you don't. Bravo to you, much respect !!

I ended up selling it six months later. My advice is to move on and embrace the new van making it perfect for you. And of course video every step of the way so we can watch!!! Good luck with the sale!

    Best option for you would be to buy a bigger van and buy a tow package. Tow your smaller van as your home and slowly do a van conversion on the bigger van. Then you wouldn’t be homeless during the bigger upgrades such as the 4x4 and lift conversion. It would also allow you to do it during winter!

    Thanks for your video man.. it’s so nice and calming down to watch, I appreciate places you’re showing to us, wouldn’t be able to see them in my life if it weren’t for you. Keep up great job, you seem to be genuine honest good person.
    All the best from Poland!

    Unlike other vanlifers you're actually "climbing and using your gear." Go on.

    I really loved to watch you build out the new van as well over time while you were living in it that was well impressive.

    I'm so excited for the new van/build series. I also appreciate the want to "work for what you have" mindset. Not too many people have the work ethic anymore. Good luck on your adventures, and I will be a viewer unless you trash the crock pot.

    Good on ya, Forest! Can’t wait for the new buildout. I’d love for the border to open as well so I can finally see BC! I think you should build out anything other than an econoline or an express! Those full sized van builds are a dime a dozen on RUclips! You’ve always stood out from other van life tubers to me at least, and I think you should find something uniquely you, just my two cents! I love your current rig and and am a big fan of all you do, keep it up Forest!
