I think this is my favourite video to date. Shelter in a dependable, safe home on wheels, the company of an adorable furry friend, a warm, hearty meal, hot coffee, a roaring fire and a good book to read. What more could one want? You know the weather's bad when the long haul truckers pull off the roads. You showed them all how it's done Canadian style! lol
the truckers could not go anywhere even if they wanted to the hwy 395 is closed just up the road .
Tracy I completely agree. Its really one of his best. No words needed just the quiet in the Van and natural noises. He is just so talented with that camera and life in general~
Having a fireplace inside the van in winter is just awesome !!!👍
Kinda feels like a piece of heaven
Fantastic! Very nice work on the video.
When I dream about vanlife, I don't dream of climbing mountains or going hiking or crossing continents. I dream about days like this in a cozy warm van with my dog, some good food, and a storm howling outside. This was such a simple video, but it was pure, distilled vanlife.
Just being in a warm cozy shelter protecting you from hostile cold weather , such a great feeling.
@@gonzalvedecordoue5486 The worse the weather, the more snug you feel.
I agree.. LOVED it...
So bloody envious really looks like you n your m8 are having a blast looks like it's serendipity just meant to be stay safe respect from England
I love when dogs are all cozied up by the fire when there's a storm outside.
I love that your little dog is wrapped up warm in a sweater, and a proper winter coat when he goes outside. You are a great pet parent - respect!
I can't even handle how adorable Rocko is curled up sleeping in her little sweater at 1:23. When she takes that little breath it's just too sweet.
Isn’t she just the cutest
I think we all come here to see how adorable Rocko is, cozy and curled up on a warm blanket.
You just know that Pixar is going to come calling. No one tells a story like Foresty. ❤
And how does Foresty get her eyeliner so perfect every day?
Yes, it's so sweet watching him slowly poison the dog with onions and onion salt. I mean, if you're a sociopath, you just LOVE that part. Nothing like watching an animal slowly die of organ failure from eating meat cooked with onions. Personally, I'm sickened watching him do this to his dog.
Foresty, this video was so peaceful...you brought chill and calm to a bunch of us.
Thank you for your kindness, you and Rocco stay warm. All the best. 👍😊👍
It was like one of those calm apps that play crackling fire and creaking sounds.
yeah he could have chilled to death. his dog too
Looks like the snow planet in star wars.
The contrast of cozy indoors amid cold blizzardly weather is strangely satisfying.
Roco has total faith in Foresty. She knows he will protect her and keep her warm and fed. That is why she can sleep so soundly.
A dog like that is 1 in a million.
Driving through uncharted snow drifts and flying the drone simultaneously…just phenomenal
Love the looking up at the night time snow fall- epic ❄️
I was holding my breath for a long minute, overall just a great video and documenting the real deal of this storm. thank you
I'm not sure, but I think some drones have a "follow me" setting. Still great video production.
@@grahammonk8013 They do
Rocco was driving 🐶
I absolutely loved the fact there was no sound just nature happening for the first 10 mins
I definitely love the “No talking” style videos a lot more. You cooking & the dog was my favorite part
I am up at 2 am with a fever, looking for something peaceful to watch. I found it on your channel. Love from Canada.
I hope you feel better now sorry you are sick :/
Simon, you came tantalizingly close to cracking the code on this one: the first 10 minutes was pure art, and relaxing for you i'm sure. You gave your faithful a glimpse into your van life with the California blizzard of 2023 as a backdrop, no words necessary. P.S., Rocco did her part as well. Thanks
Agreed!!! Great video and love that sweet Rocko!!❤️
In my opinion he cracked the code. Brilliant video!
Thank you! sometimes ideas, inspiration, and crazy weather events just come together all at once ☺️
Simon?
wait... his name is Simon? Mind.Blown.
So cool to watch this evolve over the years. Forest is a brilliant filmmaker!
That he is!
Yes, I agree. Going out to do the necessary duties must have been more than cold ….😱
Do they give awards for RUclips videos? If so Foresty deserves best video of the year.
Foresty is one of the few channels where I've not only seen every single video, but when a new one comes out, it's a momentous occasion. A multitude of "genres" in one video... he's a filmmaker, van lifer, dog owner, master chef, carpenter, he knows how to sew and cook.
Not to mention the dry Canadian sense of humor that never fails to crack me up. Coupled with majestic shots of nature that inspire awe.
Foresty Forest is like buffet on RUclips, he does it all!
its actually a helicopter doing all the aerial shots
What a sweet little dog you have. There are few things in life that give the heart melting love you feel when your pup looks you in the eye. Its like they send love directly into your soul.
Nice. I have never seen a real wood-burning stove in a van before. You have a very cool travel buddy.
I like your van setup. Cooking tip: Carry a 4lb bag of all purpose flour in your food stores, then add about 4 tablespoons of flour to your beef stew pot. That will thicken the juices and give you a gravy. If you feed the dog kibble, it would love it with a little gravy mixed in. :)
Or arrowroot powder to eliminate gluten and gmo's.
I do this, but the stew has to be cold or luke warm when you add the flour, to thicken it, or it'll lump.
This might be my favorite Foresty Forest video ever til now. Peaceful, serene, and relaxing. Rocko is a rock star.
yeah i was thinking that, but if you ask me why, i'm completely stumped.
@@TheMadmacs No stock music.
@@Ronbrg maybe, i did think of that, i have a few subscriptions with no music channels.
Exactly the same. Genuinely stress-inducing (in a fun way) too with the slow countdown of the logs. Beautiful bit of work.
I love how you built that, very functional , and simplistic with the things you have in there .
That little dog played his part well. Well done dog 🐕 ❤
That Warm and Cozy feeling of drinking hot coffee, stoking the wood stove and watching the wintery blizzard going on outside.
And this is why we have windows! Props to all the folks with full metal privacy screens but you cannot live this day in those vans.
This video really felt so perfect. Foresty, I gotta say you have so much artistry in your way of creating episodes. 10 minutes of straight silence, appreciating nature, is just perfect. Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Yeah, those ASMR type’a vids are always winners. One of the first subs I watched with over 1 million scribers never put words or music into his vids…and this was 4 or 5 years ago. Now he’s got over 10+ million subscribers… Channel = “Primitive Technology” youtube.com/@primitivetechnology9550
I didn't like the part where he blew the dog.....that was gross.
Rocko appears perfectly contented with her favourite human. This is the most peaceful and restful video I’ve seen in ages. The colours and the sounds make me think I can smell your delicious stew.
Thanks for taking us all along, I enjoy every minute even though I’m also a little envious.
Foresty is hand down my favorite RUclips channel. One of the few channels where I've not only seen every single video, but when a new one comes out, it's a momentous occasion for my family. You've got a multitude of "genres" in one video... he's a filmmaker, van lifer, dog owner, master chef, carpenter, he knows how to sew and cook. Why watch HGTV, Animal Planet, and the Food Network when you've got Foresty?
Not to mention the dry Canadian sense of humor that never fails to crack me up.🤣 Coupled with majestic shots of nature that inspire awe. ⛰
Foresty Forest is like buffet on RUclips, he does it all! 😊
DP could not have said it better. He is so talented in so many ways. We love it when he breaks out the sewing machine! He also has inspired me to use my Crock more. I even bought his Crocky sticker and have it on our rig.
@@anybodyoutthere3208 Oh of course, the good ol Crock Pot! I was legitimately sad when his broke, felt like a main character was leaving us. 😭
Agree agree agree....
Except....Rocko is a much better....
Best Buddy - then Crockpot.....
So Glad They could drive out ok....
Wyoming had drifts over 8 ft...
We're all so Lucky to have Foresty Forest & Rocko Video's to Enjoy.
DP: The cook part is wrong. 2 potatoes are equal to putting a cup or a cup and a half of sugar into that meal. The potatoes are metabolized into sugar within 5 to 10 minutes.
Starchy carbs promote insulin resistance and kill pancreatic beta cells that never grow back. When half of the pancreatic beta cells have died, one has diabetes and starts putting on middle aged puffiness. If not caught and stopped at that point, the outcome can be 3 days of dialysis a week beginning 70-80.
How do we protect those under 40 from that downward spiral unless by defining the risks?
DC Life - you are wrong about Starch & what happens to the pancreas. Science is hired to come up with stuff to protect the businesses that profit from the real causes. Weed remover is sprayed on Grains that damages our organs & when the fungus has consumed much of the pancreas - yes it isn't making enough insulin for the glucose to enter our cells. All our food is converted into glucose but with diabetes - it can't get into the cells & just stays in the system until a high sugar count is eliminated. Cats are getting Diabetes a lot & when we stick to a Grain Free diet for our Pets - they don't get diabetes... When they don't get the nutrients - they get skinny & Ceylon Cinnamon is a Natural Insulin to move the glucose into cells / Carbonation causes Fat because it's the same as Cellular Waste & needs to be quickly Eliminated or Hidden in New Fat Cells so we are not too Acidic / you all must read this in your Gmail being it will be removed
That’s a great example of working smarter not harder - we love seeing “day in the life” videos and you don’t have to struggle talking to the camera! I’m currently warm and dry in my van, parked beside the ocean on Van Isle and it’s blowing snow sideways outside. Seriously, we both get to live our best lives - cheers!
I love the way he takes care of his best friend ❤️
Dude I’m so jealous of that fireplace/coffee maker/oven combo you have!
Yes! I would love to watch more episodes like this (minus the storm of course)
The storm is what makes the video and his fun experience lol. U wanna just watch only on a 70 degree day with blue skies?? Boring!!
@@msmith6634 Forest for the trees.
Just proves ... no matter where you are or what the situation, as long as you have your doggo with you, life is good.
That's a fact.👍🙏
Dog in sweater curled up asleep in bean bag. Perfect. ❤
Finally a normal person brewing a coffee to warm up. The idea with the wood stove is not bad, brings nice warmth.
This was ASMR to my eyeballs.
One of your best shot episodes. The camera shot looking into the darkness. with snow falling around was brilliantly placed in. Your format and cinematography is always blowing my mind.
That is exactly what I said and wrote above. It really was. All those natural sounds of life off grid. He really is talented.
That's what I call a blizzard. This was another fantastic video. Perfect meal during a storm. I'm glad that you and Rocko were safe and cozy. Fantastic drone shots. I was very happy to see that you got back on main roads today.
That would be heaven for me. The sound of the wind as the van rocks, bundled up in a sleeping bag, I'd have the best sleep imaginable!
This video should win some kind of prize. The stark contrast between the almost un-survivable snow storm with the utter comfort of your heated van, the sumptuous beef stew, the happy puppy. The frightening din of wind caught by your outside camera, versus the tranquility of inside the van. The high quality video, the perfect shooting angles inside and outside. Magnificent.
Well said!
The prize was that our friend shared it with us.
I agree fully, I film for a living and deliberately go into storms like that, the filming on this is epic, and yeah the puppy :-)
I would love it
He could make a living building vans. I wish he would build mine
Have to say this might be one of my favorite videos. Your editing skill and shot making is superb! Felt like I was watching some type of documentary at one of those outdoor themed film festivals. Keep going as there a lot of us out here who love your work - simple & beautiful.
Now that's a drone shot you don't see everyday !!
For real this guy is magic with his camera /angles!
I'm wondering how the drone survived it
Right
I thought the same thing.🙂
Took the word right out of my mouth
Such a great video. I'm snuggled up under the duvet on the sofa with my little doggy right now, watching you two in your cosy van.
Rocco is the nicest little dog I have seen in awhile…….so cute.
This was the first Foresty video I have watched. There will be more. I love the relationship with his pup.
Me too..I loved it all.
Same. Subscribed at the 1:54 mark.
Me too, seems like a down to earth dude.
The wife and I don't get a ton of mutual down time, but when you two put out a video, we slow down and pay attention. We appreciate all the time, energy, and dedication!!!
Man, simple and cozy, dog looks safe too, awsome vid
That's actually really cool to have all that inside a regular van.
The shot of the dog curled up asleep with his sweater on... Sooo precious 💞
I was going to say that too. It looked so cute in the sweater sleeping.
So precious 💖
Wish I could sleep like that. He was GONE. Nothing worse than not getting enough quality sleep
👍
Even the dog didn’t want to be out in that weather a moment longer.
Such an unbelievably relaxing and amazing moment in time you captured here foresty! This is the kind of video that you will watch in 30 years time and be so happy that this was a moment in your life :)
Simplicity and peace in the midst of a storm. You just showed us all just how little we really need in the way of "stuff".
What a thoroughly happy little dog. He's a splendid little fellow - the star of the show! The stew looks extremely appetising. My thanks to you from the U.K. for making this entertaining & relaxing video.
This video was a lovely balance between Simon and Rocko both starring in this episode! Well done! Such beauty.
Oh what I would give to walk out of the office and hop into a van with a wood stove in a blizzard. One of the best episodes yet. Stay warm!
Thanks! For doing what you do for us.
I love how your little pup has its warm little spot by the fire and then if it turns around a warm little nook to watch out the window. So adorable.
Here in Alberta that weather does not shock us almost any time of year but that is crazy weather for California. We are glad you and Rocko stayed safe and warm. Rocko is so sweet sleeping in her little sweater. It was a bonus having two videos from you this week. Thanks and please safe safe!
@@skinnflint Well we certainly get snow and wind and cold weather.
@@skinnflint Alberta certainly does get blizzards. You should pay attention in life. You'd learn a lot.
Look at the baby doing his little beeswax! So cute! I'm glad you're sharing your stew with him!
Love that the pooch had a full tummy and was knocked out all snuggled up.
This is one for the record books! We're all thinking about you and you are in our hearts. Hang in there!
Rocko in her fleece jacket is just too adorable! ♥
Keep it warm out there you two.

That puppy dog is the perfect companion. It's been a long time but I think we need a dog in our lives again. When the last one passed, I thought never again. But I miss having a little buddy and I know my wife does too. This video convinced me. Very well done, I enjoyed it a lot. I've never come across your channel before but I'm definitely subscribing. Keep up the good work
Thank you for sharing your escape. Cozy comfort in the midst of the wind and snow and ice creates such a glorious sensation in my heart and mind. Just outstanding .
Your drone footage exiting the backcountry was really professionally done. There’s some calming effect watching a winter camp outing for me. Thanks for that.
The drone following the van out of the snow was really a wonderful sequence. Well done
Talented 😊
The aerial shots were amazing and so were the front shots of the vehicle with the blizzards pounding on it. No surprise with almost a million views as of this writing. Thank you.
I found your channel a little while ago and I just subscribed for one simple reason... the way you treat your little friend. That warmed my heart SO MUCH. You sir are a good man. Aside from that, Your van is like a space ship. A fully enclosed life support system outside of which you would die. One great difference.. In space astronauts cannot enjoy a delicious stew. Enjoy your travels with your friend and stay safe. Mike
Hello, I just wanted to thank you for the content you put out! My husband passed away 16 months ago and he absolutely loved watching your videos, he would alwAys be waiting for a new video. I try to keep up now and watch them and catch up when I can. Thanks again!
Deepest condolences on the loss of your husband, Dawn.
Wow, heartfelt condolences for your loss. Genuinely touching.
God Bless you Dawn !
Sorry for your loss. Blessings from Virginia. ❤❤❤
Yep, that stuff happens now and then.
Rocco does a great job flying the drone whilst you drive the van.
Yea I don't understand drone shots being he is supposed to be there alone.
I adore the dog 🐶 in his little jumper curled up on his bed. Too cute.❤❤
I can feel the heat from the stove and smell that stew!! I travelled around North America for almost a year in an old 27’ C-class a few years ago. My favourite mornings were the cold ones waking up under a big down comforter with my pup curled up beside me.
Your pictures are worth a thousand words and your videos even more. Great editing! Thank you again and be safe!
This is my favourite episode. Minimal talking - mostly ASMR. It felt like I was sharing the quiet with you and Rocko. Excellent job, Foresty!
I can’t even say how much I loved that Foresty went outside with his pup. ❤️
Appreciate the classic drone shots in this blizzard. Priceless.
It is crazy that Foresty originally went to Southern California to avoid the cold and snow. If you didn't notice the snow covered desert and sagebrush, you would think he was still in Canada.
Love the dog jumping at the door to get back into the warm van 😂
Yeah, animal cruelty is just awesome! It's almost as good as watching him slowly POISON the dog by feeding it onions. Such a stellar guy! /end sarcasm
@@le_th_ yeah... you're insane.

Bro, I really enjoyed watching this video. The overall simplicity of the video and the camping spot you had chosen is unprecedented. Also, that little buddy is very cute.
Awesome video. You knew people were going to love your opening shot when you were editing lol. A drone flying in a blizzard? Epic risk but you got the shot!!!!
I was going to get one of those propane stoves but you single-handedly convinced me to invest in a mini wood stove.
I grew up with a wood stove in the living room of a tiny house.
Best heat ever. Plus the smells of the wood.
Thanks for making this video.
I subbed.
Glad to see you and Rocko are safe, the worsening storm and dwindling wood were worrisome. I don’t comment often so taking this opportunity to say how much I enjoy your videos. You and Rocko bring a smile to my face with every video so thank you 😊
I know I was starting to stress. But all was well. Me? I would have been pulling my hair out thinking of the worst scenario’s. Glad to see you driving out.
I'm not normally a huge fan of ASMR, but the first part of this video where you used it was excellent! It really set the mood and we could feel your thoughts while hunkered down. People should use this as a template for how to tell a story and set the tone.
That's quite a bit of now there. We're forecast to get some snow on Southern Vancouver Island but I don't think it's that much.
Thanks for sharing Foresty! I really enjoy your adventures 😁
In the middle of knowwhere during a Blizzard and getting by, no words I thought this was great, awesome use of camera angles 2
Can you believe I'm sweating my socks off here on my island of Aruba. Watching this helps me through the heatwave..its beautiful.thank you
Your video quality just keeps getting better, I love how much effort you put into all your videos.
Really like the feeling of severity in this video, so peaceful and quiet. Thanks again for showing us a slice of your life.
Love the Pooch Scooch lol....when the dog eating outta the pan makes it go this a way and that a way! #HeavenOnEarth my friend!
Your little dog is so gorgeous, you’re such a great pet dad. Loved watching your video. New subscribers
A tremendous amount of camera and editing work made for a beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing video. Great Job as always
This is genuinely one of my favorite videos of yours. I can’t quite put my finger on why, but I find it so fascinating and just kinda mesmerizing.
Is this little dog the happiest in the world? I love the way you treat him that well. Moreover this is the van of my dreams. Tx for sharing. Enjoy
Blessing from no snow land (western europe) 😉
This actually maybe my best of all-time favorite video, So far because you never know. It's clean intuitive and to the point and I love that. 🐔
I am grateful for your videos, especially ones like this. The drone footage is incredible. Thank you for what you do!
OMG “the weather outside is frightful but the fire is so delightful”. Thank you for sharing these precious moments
That wasn't frightening weather. That is just an avg winter day up around NW Indiana and Michigan.
I was a long distance truck driver and lived in my truck for several years, if I still lived in the US I would probably be doing it in a van. Wood stove never occurred to me, very interesting. Alas, I moved to SE Asia where I can afford to live on my monthly pension. Excellent video.
It all starts with that magnificent wood stove. It must be as hot as a sauna. This van's interior space must be an optical illusion. It seems enormous.
This may be the very best FF episode yet. The ambient sound opening was so soothing and relaxing, and Rocko and the landscape maxed out the serenity.
Thank you!
Foresty, to me this looks like a moment out of time, a heavenly interlude. I would so love to experience this myself!! Thank you for this!
your JRT is absolutely beautiful! they bring so much joy and happiness i know this adventure was 10 fold because you had her with you!
Always cool to see people camping with their dogs out in the cold. Yeah that’s stew looked pretty delicious too.
Wow, that weather is amazing and brutal at the same time. Have to say Rocco is absolutely gorgeous. Her facial expressions are beautiful to watch. As others have said your editing and continuity is brilliant and getting better by the hour. Safe travels and keep that dog close to your heart. She is a treasure.
Hugs to you and Rocko!!
I live in Bishop! Glad you were safe during this unprecedented weather we had! That is one awesome van and your furbaby is adorable!
.... I was also lucky enough to be able to experience exactly what you are doing there,.... All alone in the middle of the desert in my van,.... 12 inch long icicles form to all over the bottom of my van... Well chilling with a beer and watching movies, stranded for about a week.... And enjoying every moment...
.... Is your van 2 wheel drive ?
Great video. I know this was a form of art but it also really did show what your life is like a lot of the time I think, which is important for people to know it is a lot of quiet. Can't believe the drone was able to stay up in the winds but as always, you do such an amazing job with your videos. Thanks for taking us along and stay warm!!
