Mountain Mike is the the “Crazy Neighbour” of the Foresty Forest universe.
🤣
True
He reminds me of the Sea Captain in the Simpsons.
( ͡❛ 👅 ͡❛)
How about a JOB
Big respect for checking in on mountain Mike, most people would run a mile if they came across him.
Same. Yep.
Nah he's not dangerous... maybe a little crazy from loneliness...
Nah I've chilled with far crazier people. That guy is civilized.
Ya'll just aren't open minded enough or some shit
Love the foresty channel. He's underrated. He's like a forward thinker. Very clever
I love the characters, Mike's harmless and very interesting. Hi Mike!
In a world gone crazy mountain Mike has it figured out. Good on ya for hanging out with him he clearly loves the company.
Foresty. You are a good human. Glad we have people like you on this planet.
Hes cute too
❤️
Glad you stopped in on Mountain Mike. He’s a character. Can tell he misses people. Hope he stays healthy during the winter.
How can you tell he misses people? That's a little presumptuous. Many people love living a life that would be considered lonely to "normal" people. He obviously just likes Foresty.
@@Ash_18037 because he’s manic when Foresty arrived. It’s not an insult on Mike. I wish him the best in life.
I like how hes far away from sick city society with smartphone zombies
This man is like a NPC in forest quest in a game called Foresty Forest
I just love that you don’t use living in a van as an reason to not make some serious food!
I'm glad the old man was there. Thanks for stopping by.
Can never get enough Foresty Forest. Living the dream living the dream
Salute to a man who lives life his way. And another quality of Foresty shown by checking on the man and treating him equally and with respect. I think there is still more deep down inside Foresty yet to see. Thank God for the winch and 4wd.
Man, you got to get a dash cam or something. I really love to see that harrowing moment with your van almost went over a cliff. That's content right there!
Mountain Mike is my favorite storyline thusfar, although the stealth van build was top tier as well
Living on his own terms…. Free as a bird. It’s great you found your way back to catch up. Bet you made his day too.
God bless ya for going back to visit Mtn Man Mike. That was awesome
L👀king forward to seeing the new tires & chains as that white stuff keeps falling from the sky 🌨
Appreciate you checking in on Mountain Mike 🌲🌾 💚
It says a lot about you that you visited him again. Such an interesting person!
Yea. Was nice and also that man is off the grid grid! Lol
Forest muttering "I don't know" while trying to make a sauce hits me so close to home..
FF a metal skid plate, one for the oil pan and one for the transmission may be a good investment for the roads you are hitting 4X4
Props for checking in on Mike. You're good people man.
Twenty seconds in, the phrase 'taking the road less travelled' immediately comes to mind...
Forresty: how did you get to the hospital?
Mountain Man: oh, that was a trip and a half…
This man is the charming type of crazy
AKA: I can only stay for a couple of beers, but will enjoy it immensely
@Ching Chong wow, you really put a lot of thought into this.
Mountain Man Mike is very entertaining. I think I could listen to him for hours even if I don't always know what the heck he's saying. Great job Forestry as always!
@Ching Chong This is.... so specific.... ?
@Ching Chong keep going bro! I want to read on... what happens next?
🤣🤣🤣🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️
wouldn't take much to fix that bridge, just nail a few planks over the holes!
Mountain Mike... what a wholesome awesome nature loving dude.
Someone who never lost their inner child and living it out is a rare sight to behold.
Love it.
"I almost went off the side of the mountain, a near disaster...now I'm going to make a ham and apple galette"
Most excellent use of a row boat and oar I have ever seen. What a kind soul you are Forestry Forest for checking in on Mountain Mike.
A lovely old bugger . The world needs more characters like Mountain Mike and Foresty .
Mountain Mike looks good. Hope he continues and i hate he broke his arm.
I appreciate you checking on this man who needs a little looking after. Says a lot about you! I appreciate it.
Foresty should be the "more biggest" channel on RUclips. Guy is great. 👍
Long Live Mountain Mike! Boy does he have an amazing hairline for his age! Must be that mountain mentality :-)
When foresty forest and Steve Wallis post on the same day it’s like Christmas Eve.
Crazy ass old man, need to watch yourself around this guy
Omg, I love this simplicity of Mike. What an adventurous soul.
You're a good human to try and keep tabs on Mountain Mike. Positive Vibes to you brutha!
What a unique character the Mountain Man is. Love ppl like this
Foresty, so appreciate your heart in regards to Mountain Mike, or whatever his name is. You are a good neighbour!
yes. Foresty has many good qualities but the one that shines on this one is his kindness.
Get this man a ham radio and a small solar panel
The foresty radio show
Sounds great
I'll be the first to have a QSO with him. lol
@Mary Smit someone's butthurt
I would say get that old man a ham radio and a small solar panel
@Mary Smit make a channel, create videos... maybe it'll happen for you. It's not exclusive. There's kids playing Minecraft making more money than me. I do my best to plug other channels, and support their growth as well.
You've officially adopted mountain man Mike! Gotta visit weekly!
That toast with Mike 🎶 segue was SWEET❤️❤️❤️ Good to see he was still a happy guy!
snow before october, that makes my insides queezy.
Mountain Mike is the man💪🏽
The drive made me a wreck but the meal calmed me back down. So good to see Mike again.
The Snow is just starting to fly, and sticking. Summer in BC is over.
Love working outside this time of year, not too hot or cold- just right
Had to start wearing long underwear few days ago!
Brother...I hate when I'm starving and I'm cooking In my jeep, and I ruin something and have to start again 🙃
Member of you ever get stuck, you message me, I'm usually around the FSRs and I have my old Chevy 4x4.
Love the sound of the D HEATER running cosy chill.
Don't scare the shit out of us like that dude, you almost went over the edge a few times, had me big time worried, Come on new tires
Hi from goderich ontario Canada 🇨🇦
12:45…Foresty talking about “seeking professional help” on van builds?! Lol! He’s the professional!
My response was, "Don't give us straight lines like that!" You know, with 280,000 subscribers, would not be surprised if someone offers a free, or discounted refitting for exposure.
I am impressed by that Chevy van. I never thought I'd say that.
Amazing what you do in a near stock Chevy 4wd van solo vs those with 5x the build in a caravan. Bonus pts for the snowy drone shots from across the canyon. Bravo.
Mountain man Mike seems like a hell of a cool dude. And you are one brave son of a gun for climbing up that trail in your van. That was some intense footage.
Vans are a bit heavy and large for such roads, but a lot of guys will do it in 4X4 pickups or better yet, a jeep.
Your a kind soul to stop and check on Mountain Mike. He is different but seems very happy.
wow thats crazy how fast that snow came in.
Vancityvanlife, got his in white texture. Man dude it's sharp. You got skills my friend. Love watching your videos. :)
Yeah his looks great!
@@forestyforest are you gonna do something like that or like that?
Glad to see you checking up on Mike the mountain man.
Mountain Mike is such a genuine soul, good lad just living life and loving it!
Be very careful about going down them lakehills because when you get started sliding it is hard to stop be careful my friend looking for the next video
I love that shot: 4:33
Don’t even have to watch the entire video before liking. All the work and time that goes into the angles and scenes. Top tier effort here.
Thanks 👍 have a good day
Fridge bottle suggestion: Slip ur glass bottles into an old (or currently in use) sock. Or stick an appropriate size towel in there to keep the bottles from moving around when off-roading. :)
Tip for 4x4ing from Australia - let the tires down to 24psi offroad....if you need even more grip air down to 18psi - just air up before going back on proper roads
That's good adivce
This California phone Phoney has been replying to many on FF....
The Real Foresty name would be in Blue....
Yeah Forest... You come on down here to my house, park in my shop, use my tools and equipment, stay as long as you like or as little as you want. it's not a big deal to me, you're completely welcome and the shop is heated.... i won't take no for an answer.
Awesome thanks man. We'll see what happens when the time comes. Would love a complete build out at some point.
@@forestyforest Yes, keep us in mind, buddy. I'm a marine carpenter, low voltage electrician and rigger turned tree farmer. My wife is coincidently a master seamstress, wait until you see her sewing room. Anyway, we can totally dial you in. It will be fun.
Ohhh yahh, here comes that mountain snow, you've got your tire chains ⛓
Careful with those narrow roads brother, that Van's heavier than the uplander
1. Mountain Mike doing his laundry in the boat with a snow spade 👏🏻👏🏻
2. Your vans capability 👏🏻👏🏻
I’m so glad Mountain Man Mike is now a part of this universe 😭
I wonder who could help rebuild that pier in Mike's lake and fix that bridge... It would be nice if Foresty made a call out to volunteers and some people come out but in reality it's a lot harder than it sounds. Anyways.
Regarding the roof Forresty - my advice - leave the liner in. Do you want to lug the extra weight of all that timber around? What I would do is take the liner down and put in a 30mm sticky back insulation or something and then add a foil tape vapour barrier. Same thing with the rear doors maybe. Mould will form in the ceiling if you don't stop the moisture getting to the cold metal like what happened with your mini van. Maybe you could nix the liner and replace with a stretch carpet covering or recover the factory liner with something like that. I did a similar thing in someones VW Transporter build.
I have watched north of 50 Foresty Forest videos in the past week!
Aren't they great!!?? 😃
@@mnvikqueen3845 Yep!
Thank you for checking on Mountain Mike, but speaking as your self appointed surrogate mom, I did not like the risk you were taking attempting to bag that summit. I love your videos! Stay safe young man.
really like Moutain Mikes personality he seems like a nice guy
His voice is the best part
foresty, i really do appreciate your kindness by visitng old friends you've met along the way. god forbid, something hapened to mountain mike, you would be his only help if he didnt have any other resources. stay safe foresty!!
Older people have so much wisdom to offer, & should be respected. Nice to see U check Up on an old friend! Safe travels my dude!! 👍🏿
HAHAAA i LOVE THIS MAN ... long ago I was outside and it was dark, thought a grp of cats came to see me..... nope, skunk babies OMG I was so glad they didnt spray me. Thanks for checking on this guy! I KNOW he appreciated it !!!
gads I get nervous afraid bottom gonna hit those rocks !!
Do a cut away of your fenders like Ford or Dodge to get the big tires on and do not deflate them use recommended tire pressure on your new ones so nothing happens to them
Good of you to stop in and see Mike. I'm sure he appreciates it. For your fridge issue get some of those fridge bars from Crappy Tire they work great for keeping everything where it's supposed to be. I use them in my cabinets in my truck camper for when the doors fly open on a rough backroad.
The variety of your menu NEVER ceases to amaze me !
Mountain Mike, great guy, but sounds very well oiled. 🤣
i love mountain mike! what a great guy
Man I was holding my breathe and prayed you didn’t slide off the road!🙏🏻
Now that recipe you fixed looked really good! Savory and a little sweetness too. Take care and was nice to see Mtn Man again! Thanks for checking in on him. Safe travels to you!
I like this channel because I would be absolutely freaking out all the time and he is like "yeah, i might get stuck here in a 4x4 road with nobody to help me and no cell signal, I should probably leave but let me make a pie first". My HERO!
Nice to see you made it back up there and had a beer with Mountain Man Mike!!
I’ve been thinking about the interior aesthetics. I think you could change the looks a bit without a rebuild. It is absolutely perfectly set up.
What a great episode! The little interaction with Grizzly Adams was a nice diversion :-) Be safe out there!
No Fear with Foresty Forest. Glad you made it atta there unscathed. Happy you visited Mountain Mike. Your a good guy Foresty
Mike is simply wonderful. And you are so very kind and thoughtful to visit him and care about him.
I love episodes with stealth camping and building, one of my favourites!
OK the door closing by itself when you were running back for the camera was just a little creepy! Haunted van just in time for Halloween!
I was waiting for the van to start rolling downhill. :D
Probably best to keep it white. It reflects A LOT more heat and will keep you cooler in the summer.
(Use a white Berliner coating/paint instead of black)
Thank you for checking on Mountain Man Mike. I hope hos arm heals completely and that he is ready for a cold winter.
You can totally tell Mountain Man Mike hasn’t really spoken to another soul since the last time Foresty Forest was there. In many ways, an introvert would see this and feel envy, but that is my biggest fear. I spend so much of my free time alone while I’m in law school, but to spend all my time alone would be such a depressing prospect for me. I think everyone has their preference on a lifestyle, and to see people like that is fascinating. Everyone always wonders how the “other half” lives.
I think he's not all there or is suffering from substance abuse. He should not be that isolated. Can end badly for him.
Man I'm so sorry you decided to go to law school, that sucks :(
He needs a dog
I feel his need to live alone in beauty...
I would rarely need human interaction; animal interactions are more than enough to sustain my "healthy mentality". I think MMM is living how he wants to love his own life.
You would be surprised I used to be very social but now am a recluse and I love it
Some impressive driving skills there Foresty!
Thank you!
Great video! Really liked the shots of the van climbing that impossible road. great job capturing that!
That's so sweet that you check on MM and bring presents of beer. Sad to here he broke his arm. Hope it heals well. Be safe out there FF.
Oh, a good story is a thing of beauty, as is our Mt. man. Crusty in a good way like s sourdough bread. Good to see the snow a comin!!!
NASA could take some tips from you. It's like watching an astronaut explore a different world
As far as the headliner, I really loved that reflectix foil bubble wrap stuff. It keeps the temps stable
That's driving Skill.
I am grateful for your content. You take me to Summits I could never climb.. peace love happiness to all watching. Shout out to Amanda.. thanks to you I now watch her videos.
Definitely get some beadlock wheels and some beefy off-road tires! Stay safe out there, Forest! Cool to see Mountain Mike again. 🙌🏼
now youre talking. beadlock rims. airing down to single digits is the single best thing you can do for traction.
Are beadlock wheels legal in Canada?
I believe they’re illegal in the USA. Here in Australia beadlock wheels/rims are available but not approved.
Also next to impossible to balance beadlock wheel/tyres
@@PetraKann Ill eagle? We're talking about tires not sick birds here
Hey Foresty, get CJ from Project Amber to help you with a rebuild. That would be an awesome crossover. All the best to you. Pete
Thanks for checking on Mike. His family must be checking on him and resupplying him however winter is coming.
I feel like this is like Back to the Future where current day Foresty goes into the future to meet future Foresty.
