What impresses me about Foresty Forest that as his channel has grown over the years. Foresty remains humble & down to earth, other than losing most of his thick accent. I've unsubscribed from other new creators who become full of themselves once the channel starts to grow. Foresty & Rocko are the real deal and my favorite channel(s)
The other vanlifers never interested me. But Foresty's special. It's honest, down to earth, no flash and glamor, just hike and bike and cooking and woodworking. It's simply therapeutic. I also like to point out how Foresty's "new patrons" list at the end of each video is as long as other channel's _entire_ patron list. Pretty cool.
The field induces eddy currents in the Titanium, allowing non ferrious materials to be heated using induction. Basically most materials that are electrically conductive can be heated using induction. Heating won't be as efficient for some materials.
@@pieter1102 Steel is not needed. You can create induction with copper or aluminum wires... neither is magnetic either. Being magnetic has nothing to do with having an inductive capacity.
Love seeing life through Rockos' eyes as well as yours Simon. Very thankful you chose to get off the mountain before a snowslide did it for you. Stay safe-as always-great video 🙏✌🌎💞👍
I can imagine Rocko could of been sleeping all day long in a bay window looking out over an ocean, or in a high rise building who knows where. Instead, Rocko is a Mountain climber of sorts and wilderness dog being loved by a cool you Tuber...
her breed of dog (terriers) were bred to be active, fearless, and tough. She’s really living a great life for her breed, Lucky Rocko! (Although I’ll keep my elderly sleeps-in-the-sun-all day shepherd.)
No doubt others have answered already, but I thought I'd put in my bit as well. Being a life long electronics experimenter and ham radio op, I know a bit about electromagnetic fields. 🙂 So any metal that is electrically conductive, will have an electrical current induced in it by a moving magnetic field. In something like a pan or pot, that 60 Hz flip flopping magnetic field, will induce a lot of electrical current along the field lines where it passes through the metal. Since no metal is a superconductor at room temperature and therefore has resistance, that current becomes heat. The metal itself doesn't need to be ferrous or magnetic, just conductive. You could put a flat bit of lead on that cooktop and probably melt it. ;-)
What confuses me is not so much that the heating works, but that the pot successfully disengages the safety. My impression was always that induction heaters sensed the presence of a pot using a permanent magnet unrelated to the coil itself? Or does the induction coil itself somehow sense a return field? That sounds a little dangerous, you wouldn't want the stove to heat up any old thing in which you can induce eddy currents....
@@trustnoone81 It's probably simply the distance. The field falls of following a log rule. For every doubling of distance, you have a 4X drop off in field strength. Get a few inches above the surface and there's probably very little heating at all.
Ahaaa at 7 min. 31seconds in, you are on the bridge I worked on many years ago when I did trail maintenance with the Summit Trail Makers out of Invermere. The bridge had been pushed off its bases over winter and was not safe to use. I was a rigger for a part of my life so I worked with the crew to secure one end of the bridge to some very large tree trunks. I was looking forward to the helicopter ride when the bridge was returned after some modifications, but by the time that got underway I was already in the Yukon. Wonderful part of BC on the trail to LOHG.
I love it when you stay alive! Those snow slides were scaring me! I just found out the 9 year old dog I took in is a jorkie, Jack Russell x Yorkie cross! I changed her name from Chelsea to Chewy because she looks like Chewbacca! She didn’t come to Chelsea anyway but she is learning to come to me as Chewy since I use food treats lol.
Dude, so true... When life kicks my ass, I fall back to him...its like getting a little edge on things...like a gift you never ask for... You hit the nail on head with your comment...appreciate it...
I used to agree but Not so much with the amount of anxiety I get when he's got that little dog running close to raging rivers and avalanche areas, Not to mention bear infested areas. 🤐
I was really worried when I saw those avalanches and was glad you turned back and hoped you would make it back ok. Looks like you did. This is such a great video you and Rocco in the spring melt.
@@davidmarshall718 Alright David, check out the next video I post... I will show you what your pristine backcountry of BC looks like. If you want to cry about me placing some cards under a rock, you are out of your mind and fighting the wrong battle. Also, since when am i a millionaire? I'm doing well, but i aint no millionaire. Mind your own business and take a breath.
@@forestyforest --- It is encouraging lots of people to tramp around off-road and off-trail near or in Jumbo Wild that is the issue. You seem to have little or no concern for the hundreds of hard fought battles that Western Canadians have fought since 1970 to preserve a now significant portion of British Columbia and Western Alberta from what you "intend to show me" on your next video. Myself and tens of thousands of other people in this Province know what much of it looks like, if you had hidden your "treasure" in a clear-cut, I would have said nothing, so do NOT get "smart" with us, Ontario transplant. You can save that for your viewers around the World, most of who did not even know BC existed before they found you. That said, you are OTHERWISE an excellent ambassador for the Wild-Lands of Western Canada and do a phenomenal job in photographing it for the World, it is your apparent lack of obvious environmental stewardship that rankles me. Case in Point: although you always keep a clean camp, you could be more overt about the neccessity of that, in order to protect the landscape and foraging wildlife, same with making it clear that campfires be made in an area well clear of brush as you always do, to prevent a forest fire. I am concerned that some of your followers may visit or migrate to BC and AB and not follow these important procedures.
@@davidmarshall718 You are also a transplant, we all are. Dont get started with that. I've been a tax paying resident for three years now, we all start somewhere. In almost every video i post there are tree stumps in the background, BC has been severly ravaged by logging... and they are going deeper and further every year. In every single video i selectively show shots to hide the clear cuts and mining. So its mind boggling how your bothered by my microscopic impact, 50% of my audience is from USA.. there might be a couple people in the area willing to look. Overreaction of the year... have a drink, relax.
@@forestyforest ---- then instead of hiding the clear-cuts, show them, and talk about them. Tell how a good proportion of American houses are built with BC Timber. And tell the stories of how small groups of people are trying to save the small amount of what is left, to huge criticism from loggers who bleat "we (environmentalists) want it all (to be preserved)......." Go to the Incommapleux River Valley south of Revelstoke where one of the last untouched valleys of big-tree inland temperate rainforest is threatened by logging, and how a small group of locals are trying to save it. Yes, you triggered me, cuz with the fame you have comes a certain amount of social responsibility, and seeing as you seem to be a hiker and a camper rather than a logger and a strip miner, decide what side you are on............ you don't have to talk about it the whole video, but a few minutes would be nice, it is the pristine landscape and nature that is one of your big drawing cards in your videos. It is true logging and mining pay the bills for a lot of people in towns in BC, but they themselves have "logged (or painted) themselves in a corner" as serious reforestation did not start in this province until 1980. At least half the old-growth was cut by 1970. The miners I have less qualms about, but even they can cause problems, I am sure you have heard of the Mt Polley disaster. Now I do not expect you to be a spokesperson for the debate between the resource industry and the environmentalists, but some objective commentary covering BOTH sides of the debate would seem "timely", especially as your adventures take you right in the "physical" middle of it.
@@davidmarshall718 Bro... let the man live his life. If you are so fucking uptight about promoting environmental stewardship then YOU get out there and make a video about it, don't come whinging in the comment section that he's not doing it how you like it.
Given that there are bears roaming around 20 miles west of us here in the densest urban area of the country, you may not have the option of avoiding bear territory (until you get far enough south and then you're in wild pig country which is scarier in my opinion)
Even though I’m in Salzburg Austria on a trip and live in Florida, I still have to watch foresty’s new video as soon as I get to my hotel. Great reward after a travel day from Venice after being there for 2 days.
Rocko-cam! Yay! Also - the sound of those slides must be something awesome in real life! Just can't capture the 'aura' of the acoustics on camera. Enjoy!
Rocky Rocco, she lives in a van. Takes her human for hikes! I'd love to see a Rocco channel, narrated from her point of view. Enjoy your videos so much! Thank you for your hard work that goes into each video. 🍻
We had Titanium tools for using in MRI area - non magnetic (dont want anything getting stuck, or flying thru the air toward mri and inadvertantly hurt or kill someone!).
love your videos im from Wales but visited Canada 3years ago drove from calgary to bannf then lake Louise, jasper,kamloops,to vancouver then flew to niagra awesome country 👏 😅
This one made me nervous. I was afraid Rocco would fall in a hole or drop off somewhere. Thank god she made it through. Nail biter for me! LoL thanks for sharing. ❤️🦋❤️
Have you looked into small freezers? I imagine there could be one that you could utilize to bring along some extra meet and just plug in every few days when you drive to keep it at temperature. Keep up the great content, been watching since you first started in Ontario!
Hey foresty! Been watching you for the past 2 years and love every video and love the giveaway opportunity! Thanks for being you and the videos give rocko a pet for me and maybe you should do a cooking episode of the sorts at some point especially with the amount of rain the past week here but much love and take care!
Along with your talent for cooking I enjoy the music you add to the drone shots. Keep up your great efforts, appreciation from more people than you know.
I really enjoy your videos especially now that you added Rocco to the mix. I am also a long-time Mountaineer and have successfully summited most of the major peaks in Iowa and Kansas.
From watching I can tell Rocko has been a wonderful addition to your life and adventures. My little hound mix has added so much to my life. Enjoy and stay safe.
Newer induction stoves work at a higher frequency, making it possible for both ferrous metals and some non-ferrous metals to heat up. Allegedly. I heard this on a cooking channel.
Thank you for another quality video Simon. Always worth the wait to see you and Rocko scrambling up a mountain. As they say, “The Best Is Yet to Come”. From Sunny Florida. 🌈🌴🌴🌴💖
Great video.....it would be great if you do with your down time....like what you like to read....podcast ....movie....docs you watch.....stuff like that.
I hope Rocko knows to bark if she's in trouble; I get chills thinking she might fall into some cavernous hole, gets knocked out and when you later turn to check on her and she's not there and can't respond being unconscious. I trust you thought of all this and she's safe in your jacket during these unsettling moments, but we viewers don't know that, so the suspense.
Your invitation to your subscribers to find the "treasure" you buried based on the clues got me thinking about a book called "The Secret- A Treasure Hunt" published by Byron Preiss Visual Publications in 1982. It details clues to 12 secret locations in the US and Canada where twelve treasure boxes are buried Anyone who uncovered one of the treasure boxes was entitled to exchange it with Preiss for a precious gem. To date only three of the twelve boxes have been found. The author of the book Preiss died in 2005, his estate assumed the responsibility of honoring the terms of the treasure hunt. Preiss kept no record of the treasure boxes' exact locations before his death, leaving it a possibility that the remaining boxes may never be recovered. I purchased the book a few years ago with the idea of sending it to a brilliant nephew who lives in Colorado as a birthday present, but I never sent him the book for fear he might become so consumed looking for the treasure boxes it might derail his journey to college and beyond. Your subscribers might find the book intriguing See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_(treasure_hunt)
Just spent a week in Canada...8 of us at our favorite "resort". Had an absolute BLAST!! Caught a crap-ton of fish. So beautiful, peaceful, and really nice people!!
Hey Forest, we’ve been watching your channel for years (obviously we like it) Rocko is a nice addition to the channel we love Rocko and nice to see how that changed the channel. But as far as cooking goes, like that too, but I gotta ask why all store bought when you live around so much abundance of county food, fishing, foraging and even some hunting would reduce pressure on your expenses,as you noted fuel is like gold now. Im not suggesting you kill a Moose and quarter it on youtube but add another level to self reliance. Just a thought, we like your contant, all best.
SPECTACULAR VIDEO. Thank you so much. Without your skillful work, I'd have never seen the blue of that glacial lake, or that roaring river. Take care of that adorable pooch. Diana
You are the way a dog owner should be to their fury kid. I find you an even bigger badass for it. Now some cute girl needs to make you her own. Happy travels man!
"Ingen skam i å snu" - Like we say here in Norway about mountains. Meaning there's no shame in turning around, for good reasons obviously. Your added Rocko-cam, works great by the way, and lifted your already 10/10 cinematic footage to award winning levels.
Although money and the gas cards are awesome and well needed by people, I think your viewers would really like to "win" an opportunity to have a day with you, meet up, do some hiking and cooking and drinking.
You should keep Rocco close by, she can fall into a hole, off a cliff, slide uncontrollably down a snowy slope etc. Show some good common sense ( on video) so we can feel at ease. If you lose or hurt that dog in any way whether it's your fault or not, you will lose me as a subscriber. Dog people watch everything, and some footage is disturbing quite frankly. I like you and your vanlife vids, but you have a baby now, be careful please. Use a leash in dangerous areas and around others.
Where are all the sleuths at? All these comments and almost no one is trying to figure it out. 🤷🏻♂️ He said a trail goes up from a "gigantic place", which I'm thinking refers to Jumbo Mountain. But then he says it comes down from a "most difficult" place. I'm sure that's also a mountain top he's referring to, but I can't figure out which one. 🤔 It sounds as if he's referring to a trail that leads from the peak of Jumbo Mountain, then goes on to the "Most Difficult" peak. He said it wouldn't be toooo crazy of a hike, so I'm doubting he would put it on the ridgeline between peaks. So, I'm thinking it's down in that valley between Jumbo Mountain and Earl Grey peak? He said you set off "before a big splash", and "step carefully through another". I'm assuming he's talking about waterfalls, lakes, or rivers here - but which one? There must be a river or waterfall at the trailhead to one of these mountains. Then a second one down the trail a bit. Come on peeps, help me out. I live in LA, so I have zero chance of getting it, but it's still fun to play the game lol. It's just me and Google Earth over here. 🔍🕵️
I can honestly say whenever I watch your videos, it makes my day just a bit better. It's so remarkable to me to see you go from a Walmart parking lot in Hamilton(?) to where you are now. From your old bike tours to overlanding in your van. Srsly, I am so happy for you. Thanks for making these videos.
I heard and loved Swirly Bird in one of your previous hikes. Downloaded into a driving mix and makes me happy when I hear it. Thanks, you have good taste.
Dude, one hell of an idea! Sweet... Thanks again! I'll never be able to look for it, but I can dream about it! Dam good job, dude! Hey, drink another one for me... Rocko cam looks good to!
Now all you have to do is get a slight rise on the camera on Rocko’s back, train her to stay and you’ll have a living tripod. No having to backtrack to get the camera.
Those avalanches! So many so fast and the sound! I was saying, "Turn Back...Turn back!" Forgot for a second it was a video it was so real. :-) Thankful your wisdom meter works so well! As usual awesome and stunning photography. Rocko is a mini Foresty Forest at heart! "Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom." C. Spurgeon.
I like the new Rocko cam 👍👍👍, but do you think you 2 should be tethered together so she doesn't fall in an unseen hole or get in an avalanche, etc, or are you 2 already tethered? 🙏
My titanium pots work on my induction cooktop in my van but I have to be very careful to keep stirring it because the food will tend to scorch if you have the induction unit on high
Great video, really cool to see that area in the late spring. Did Lake of the Hanging Glacier in the summer of 2017 but was very smoky at the time. Keep up the great videos and thanks for showing everyone how beautiful the area is!!
Rocko-cam is a new favorite. The cinematography continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Other than your apparently genuine self, that is what keeps me coming back.
I encourage my dog by saying “let’s go home” when he’s tired and we are on a walk. Do you encourage Rocko by saying “let’s go home?” Or “let’s go to the van?”
Mountain forest battle royale inc grizzly bears 😄 who will find the gas card to escape (This is nice of you though, and will get more people into hiking/good health)
Why would some one want to use their gas to go and get a gas card that may or may not be there for them once the make it there? Oh yeah not too mention the bears might get you
That would of been a little stressful among all those avalanches. Boy that Rocko can run. She was just getting it after that toy you threw. Another great video. Thanks and take care, Al
The treasure has been found! Congrats Randy, Michael, Stephen and Vicky!
Awesome ! Congratulations !

Thank you, definitely need to get back to the cooking!! Have a great day, thanks for watching!
Along with your talent for cooking I enjoy the music you add to the drone shots. Keep up your great efforts, appreciation from more people than you know.
Rocco got her first body cam!!
Puppy cam!
I really enjoy your videos especially now that you added Rocco to the mix. I am also a long-time Mountaineer and have successfully summited most of the major peaks in Iowa and Kansas.
I actually said “get back in the boat”! When you showed all the avalanches 🤗✌️
From watching I can tell Rocko has been a wonderful addition to your life and adventures. My little hound mix has added so much to my life. Enjoy and stay safe.
Newer induction stoves work at a higher frequency, making it possible for both ferrous metals and some non-ferrous metals to heat up. Allegedly. I heard this on a cooking channel.
Factchecked myself and I can't seem to verify this. Looks like titanium works on all induction cooktop, not just newer ones.
The way induction cooktops work is by inducing eddy currents in the metal, so anything that can conduct electricity should work, I should think.
Thank you for another quality video Simon. Always worth the wait to see you and Rocko scrambling up a mountain. As they say, “The Best Is Yet to Come”. From Sunny Florida. 🌈🌴🌴🌴💖
Great video.....it would be great if you do with your down time....like what you like to read....podcast ....movie....docs you watch.....stuff like that.
I hope Rocko knows to bark if she's in trouble; I get chills thinking she might fall into some cavernous hole, gets knocked out and when you later turn to check on her and she's not there and can't respond being unconscious. I trust you thought of all this and she's safe in your jacket during these unsettling moments, but we viewers don't know that, so the suspense.
I was wondering if he should tether her to him in case of those possible accidents myself 🙏
She definitely should be on a leash or something.
"Most things i worry 'bout
Never happen anyway..." Tom Petty
Tether is great safety idea...I am always worried about the little guy skipping off too
Well done for recognizing the dangers and keeping safe...
Don't need gas as I don't drive much anymore so I'm searching for Montezuma's treasure on line instead 😜
Your invitation to your subscribers to find the "treasure" you buried based on the clues got me thinking about a book called "The Secret- A Treasure Hunt" published by Byron Preiss Visual Publications in 1982. It details clues to 12 secret locations in the US and Canada where twelve treasure boxes are buried Anyone who uncovered one of the treasure boxes was entitled to exchange it with Preiss for a precious gem. To date only three of the twelve boxes have been found. The author of the book Preiss died in 2005, his estate assumed the responsibility of honoring the terms of the treasure hunt. Preiss kept no record of the treasure boxes' exact locations before his death, leaving it a possibility that the remaining boxes may never be recovered. I purchased the book a few years ago with the idea of sending it to a brilliant nephew who lives in Colorado as a birthday present, but I never sent him the book for fear he might become so consumed looking for the treasure boxes it might derail his journey to college and beyond. Your subscribers might find the book intriguing See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_(treasure_hunt)
Interesting.. I've never heard of that one
omg, what a rabbit hole that is!
There is still one supposedly hidden in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, lots of attempts made so far.
Great comment, great history. Ty for sharing.
Just spent a week in Canada...8 of us at our favorite "resort". Had an absolute BLAST!! Caught a crap-ton of fish. So beautiful, peaceful, and really nice people!!
Hey Forest, we’ve been watching your channel for years (obviously we like it) Rocko is a nice addition to the channel we love Rocko and nice to see how that changed the channel. But as far as cooking goes, like that too, but I gotta ask why all store bought when you live around so much abundance of county food, fishing, foraging and even some hunting would reduce pressure on your expenses,as you noted fuel is like gold now. Im not suggesting you kill a Moose and quarter it on youtube but add another level to self reliance. Just a thought, we like your contant, all best.
Well he did catch lamb sausage :)
SPECTACULAR VIDEO. Thank you so much. Without your skillful work, I'd have never seen the blue of that glacial lake, or that roaring river. Take care of that adorable pooch. Diana
It is so cute watching the Rocco cam!!!
Foresty
Was the red stain in the snow a kill site?
That is what it looked like to me.
You are the way a dog owner should be to their fury kid. I find you an even bigger badass for it. Now some cute girl needs to make you her own. Happy travels man!
"Ingen skam i å snu" - Like we say here in Norway about mountains. Meaning there's no shame in turning around, for good reasons obviously.
Your added Rocko-cam, works great by the way, and lifted your already 10/10 cinematic footage to award winning levels.
My father taught me that the mountain will tell you when you should turn back. You just have to pay attention to what it's saying.
@@robadams1645 Solid advice there
Another fun video of you and Rocco exploring the wilderness. Stay safe!
Although money and the gas cards are awesome and well needed by people, I think your viewers would really like to "win" an opportunity to have a day with you, meet up, do some hiking and cooking and drinking.
I'll second that idea!
walk to the store is as far as I'll ever get....Yett....It's way too kewl...Watch'in Your adventures..thanks
You should keep Rocco close by, she can fall into a hole, off a cliff, slide uncontrollably down a snowy slope etc. Show some good common sense ( on video) so we can feel at ease. If you lose or hurt that dog in any way whether it's your fault or not, you will lose me as a subscriber. Dog people watch everything, and some footage is disturbing quite frankly. I like you and your vanlife vids, but you have a baby now, be careful please. Use a leash in dangerous areas and around others.
Where are all the sleuths at? All these comments and almost no one is trying to figure it out. 🤷🏻♂️
He said a trail goes up from a "gigantic place", which I'm thinking refers to Jumbo Mountain. But then he says it comes down from a "most difficult" place. I'm sure that's also a mountain top he's referring to, but I can't figure out which one. 🤔
It sounds as if he's referring to a trail that leads from the peak of Jumbo Mountain, then goes on to the "Most Difficult" peak. He said it wouldn't be toooo crazy of a hike, so I'm doubting he would put it on the ridgeline between peaks. So, I'm thinking it's down in that valley between Jumbo Mountain and Earl Grey peak?
He said you set off "before a big splash", and "step carefully through another". I'm assuming he's talking about waterfalls, lakes, or rivers here - but which one? There must be a river or waterfall at the trailhead to one of these mountains. Then a second one down the trail a bit.
Come on peeps, help me out. I live in LA, so I have zero chance of getting it, but it's still fun to play the game lol. It's just me and Google Earth over here. 🔍🕵️
I can honestly say whenever I watch your videos, it makes my day just a bit better. It's so remarkable to me to see you go from a Walmart parking lot in Hamilton(?) to where you are now. From your old bike tours to overlanding in your van. Srsly, I am so happy for you. Thanks for making these videos.
I heard and loved Swirly Bird in one of your previous hikes. Downloaded into a driving mix and makes me happy when I hear it. Thanks, you have good taste.
Haha. I see you have your new camera crew workin' today. Rocko rocks. Amazing scenes too by the way...
Isn't the middle of June Summer in Canada? LOL. We have the same seasons in Idaho in the Sawtooths.
Dude, one hell of an idea!
Sweet...
Thanks again!
I'll never be able to look for it, but I can dream about it!
Dam good job, dude!
Hey, drink another one for me...
Rocko cam looks good to!
Now all you have to do is get a slight rise on the camera on Rocko’s back, train her to stay and you’ll have a living tripod. No having to backtrack to get the camera.
Haha good idea, incentive to train her to stay.
@@forestyforest mount a 360 degree camera and you can pick your angle no matter which way she is facing
Those avalanches! So many so fast and the sound! I was saying, "Turn Back...Turn back!" Forgot for a second it was a video it was so real. :-) Thankful your wisdom meter works so well! As usual awesome and stunning photography. Rocko is a mini Foresty Forest at heart! "Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom." C. Spurgeon.
I can always hear the name "Rocco" pronounced by the voice of Edward G Robinson!
I like the new Rocko cam 👍👍👍, but do you think you 2 should be tethered together so she doesn't fall in an unseen hole or get in an avalanche, etc, or are you 2 already tethered? 🙏
I was just saying 'that looks dangerous' and the snow started sliding...
Kudos for not taking unnecessary risks 😎
My titanium pots work on my induction cooktop in my van
but I have to be very careful to keep stirring it because the
food will tend to scorch if you have the induction unit on high
I know you work hard for us. I believe we all appriciate all you do. Take good care of yourself and Rocco. You are one tuff dude
Well i spelled Rocko wrong. Ooops
Great video, really cool to see that area in the late spring. Did Lake of the Hanging Glacier in the summer of 2017 but was very smoky at the time. Keep up the great videos and thanks for showing everyone how beautiful the area is!!
Another good one! Btw how are you getting enough vitamin C and D? Are your health problems gone now?
You're taste in music is excellent 👍
Rocko-cam is a new favorite. The cinematography continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Other than your apparently genuine self, that is what keeps me coming back.
We need way more Rocko-Cam!
Did you get a new camera man??? 📸
Take it from a senior, watch the sodium in your food. You can thank me later.
I'm here for the Rocco footage!!!
I encourage my dog by saying “let’s go home” when he’s tired and we are on a walk. Do you encourage Rocko by saying “let’s go home?” Or “let’s go to the van?”
Mountain forest battle royale inc grizzly bears 😄 who will find the gas card to escape
(This is nice of you though, and will get more people into hiking/good health)
Maybe the titanium pot works on induction because the food is magnetic. Looks tasty
Hahah
After the first avalanche i would be already on my way down. Good video 👍
The sound of those avalanches was awesome.
Heading that “That Chapter” music messed me up for a second
Why would some one want to use their gas to go and get a gas card that may or may not be there for them once the make it there? Oh yeah not too mention the bears might get you
That would of been a little stressful among all those avalanches. Boy that Rocko can run. She was just getting it after that toy you threw. Another great video. Thanks and take care, Al
have. would have. damn it
Makes me nervous watching Rocco in some of those spots. Seems like a lot for her.
