I would actually argue that.. all of the outdoor channels I watch put a lot of effort into the videos they make.. I enjoy watching everyone! I definitely love his aerial shots from the top of the mountains he climbs.
I actually created a second RUclips channel so I could watch and "like" all of your videos like I was watching them for the first time again. I thought it was about time that I wire you some appreciation for all of you hard work. Thank you so much for the inspiration, Foresty! You have made a tremendously positive impact in my life! Hello from the interior of BC!
Rocco is such a cool dog! I love watching her bound around with all that energy and enthusiasm. Makes me miss all my boys and girls from over the years...
@@reggielavoie5048 my last 3 all went within a year of each other and that rocked my world. So taking a break from my 4 legged family responsibilities for awhile. When I get to where my next life takes me I will do it all again as it's worth the pain and heartache to live with such loyal animals.
what a cool find, especially knowing all passengers survived. Crazy to think it's just been sitting there for almost 75 years, and how it could be there for many more years to come. Thanks for taking us along to see it!
It's insane how well preserved that plane is! First that it didn't completely shatter on impact and the fact that there's almost no rust or other signs of decay within over 70!!! years is just amazing
@@xcalibertrekker6693 No. Those era of planes were built as fast and cheap as they were not expected to last long in wartime. The airplane is simply in good shape still because its made out of aluminum. Aluminum essentially lasts forever as it forms its own oxidation layer over itself, which protects it from corrosion. It has nothing to do with "old timey quality".
They did have high altitude low temp flight suits and jackets, although SOP is not to shelter in an aircraft as a last resort. Surrounded by metal the cold is all around you by wind chill. A snow cave would be much warmer. You should check out "Survival in the Andes" about the soccer team that crashed. The one you want is written by the man who walked out and saved them. Most inspiring book I've read from a non-military situation. Peace
Hey my friend! Th8s sure brought back memories. I'm 72, I spent many years traveling in a 56 GMC long panel van. My companion was Cinnamon, a fenale 120 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback dog. We would do what you did. Drive in, then hike in deeper. You will live the rest of your life remembering your pup bouncing around. You treat Rocco very well and he is always watching out for you. Blessings to you both.
I simply love your treks into the wild. When you are not able to do this any more, you are going to have an amazing library of film and memories to re-watch and stories to tell. Thanks for all your hard trekking, for those of us who may have our limitations big or small. look after yourself Simom.
Foresty Foresty, who lives in a van, exploring Canada as only he (and Rocko) can! Congratulations on 400,000 subscribers, Simon! You are the real deal!
Someone mentioned in your last video, that your videos are Netflix worthy and I truly agree. Your gift to share your journey in such a way is so inspiring. I’ve been watching you since your minivan days and your skills of film making have grown tremendously. I’ve enjoyed your posts. Thank you for sharing. Ohhh and Rocko is a true trooper😊
I was thinking the same thing. A lot of RUclipsrs make interesting or fun videos, but Foresty is on another level with the camera and drone shots along with the editing and music. Somehow makes me appreciate the beauty and stillness of nature outside the small hectic bubbles we live in. He's doing more than just talking into a camera, more along the lines of creating art.
Beautiful country up there. My Uncle (late) flew from India into China during WWII, and I heard a few of his stories on flying the hump. Navigation was primitive back in those days. The crews were all kids, except for pilot, who was a more seasoned 24 year old. Thanks Foresty.
My dog of 8yrs 6 months and 6 days died this morning Foresty, I never thought that far ahead when I got him. Something made him sick or something and 2 different Vets never actually figured it our, because Anaplasma or hip dysplasia doesn't kill a dog in 15 days. It was awful, he yelped when he got out of bed or fell trying to get up. He wouldn't get up this am, I knew it was bad, I went on our walk path alone halfway, cried at the bench and came home to him rhythmic cry yelping until it was just rhythmic mouth opening and then he was gone, right in my living room on his favorite bed. It's so sad, I'm typing this alone because it's too hard to deal with coming home from work the first night in 8.5yrs and he's not here. Take lots of pics, cherish every minute and enjoy your puppers to the max. Take care.
^ So sorry to hear of your loss I've had dogs GORGEOUS Dogs & kids too - when they go the loss is unbearable I still cry & pine for my first, my gorgeous female Boxer dog we had with us 1968-1976 That time period was quite some time ago but my loss of her still pains me today On the bright side, you gave him 8.5 years of happiness - treasure those days
@Rain-uc4ru he was the best dog anyone could ask for, God couldn't even make one better. His name was Trejo, like Danny Trejo the actor, cause he was big and everyone loved him just like Danny. Danny even did a Cameo Happy Birthday greeting for him a few years back on his BDay.
Adam, my heart goes out to you. We have lost a few, all naturally at home, and we still miss them. We always chose to save another, even though you can ever replace the one you lost. They are all unique and special. I hope and pray, after the healing of time, you will also give another deserving dog out there a good home as you did for your lost one. There are so many just like him that just don't get the chance. I think he would have liked that.
Had to watch again to see what you thought were some little mistakes. I didn't really see what it was that you changed but I did get enthralled again on the beauty so wasn't paying attention to finding the differences. You do an awesome job on these so don't feel like the little mistakes you see are an issue but you do what makes you happy. This was another awesome trip. Rocko jumping like a bunny is so cute. Thanks for taking us along.
As someone who loves long distance backpacking with my dog it’s a joy to see you out there enjoying life and sharing your adventures with your trusty friend. I am sure he has greatly enhanced your life and all of your adventures. Having a dog on trail definitely increases your responsibilities but the benefits far outweigh the additional responsibilities. Take care
My favourite kind of adventure. I have found over half a dozen WW2 vintage aircraft wrecks in my area of Australia alone. More adventures like this please!!!
Considering her LOVE of rocks, I'd say your name choice for Rocko was absolutely meant to be. :) Beautiful vlog. Seeing the preserved fuselage and interior controls and mechanisms was incredible - such a walk through the past. I wonder if the survivors have ever gone back. Thank you!
Thanks for taking me along on your adventure. I think your puppy enjoyed the exploration as much as you did. Advice from an 85 year old: live life to the fullest while you are physically able. Money cannot buy the experiences you do. Stay sake! Bob in NC
C-47 aka DC-3 or Dakota is my favorite Aircraft. I had the privilege to crew the TICOBELL WW-2 survivor in Florida for several years. Your walk thru brought back memories. The Aircraft is still flying at the Valiant Air Command Titusville Florida.
Glad to hear that you are taking more time in a gorgeous location like that to enjoy a three day camping trip and plane crash site exploration, Foresty. You travel around so much, and sometimes cover such long distances driving from one location to another, it is nice to know that, at least some of the time, you get to live life at a slower pace.
There are a terrifying number of planes that have never been found! I’ve been mind blown reading about how many planes have gone missing local to me and were never found (Newfoundland Canada) Mostly from the 50s/60s.
It’s crazy to think there is wild land out there no person has been near in ages, possibly never. The C54 must have flown way off course, but that it’s never been discovered, even by accident is amazing.
@@REVNUMANEWBERNit's probably so overgrown now it may not even be visible from satellite. There are probably tons of people combing over google earth all the time looking for anomalies, I'm sure somebody would've spotted it.
I have learned so much from watching your adventures. I doubt too many folks have walked through that wreckage. The plane was in remarkable condition after almost 75 years of exposure to the elements. What a perfect traveling partner you have! Rocko obviously has as much fun as you. Thanks again for bringing me along.
Just came across this video and channel. A man adventuring with his faithful companion just brings a smile to my face as a dog lover and dog dad myself. I love the outdoors and nature so seeing this encourages me to do the same type of backpack trip some day soon. Stay safe.
WOW! Really loved this adventure. Seeing that C-47 just lying there was amazing. Rocko is such an amazing companion. Thank you for taking me to places that I could never get too. Stay Safe out there. Kind Regards, Randy in Arizona, USA
Beautiful scenery and interesting info about the plane. Rocko, not sure I spelt that right, but she is a great companion for you, just a perfect size with lots of energy . Thanks again for sharing such beautiful views.
Your videos just get better and better. A great vicarious experience of the wilderness for this old girl whose knees won't tolerate this kind of hiking any more.
According to Simon, this plane crashed in February = winter, expect the mountain snow absorbed major impact forces. Perhaps the plane slid uphill, partially buried.
@clarkleakins879 sure, but did he nose dive it, set it down unlevel and tear a wing off and careen down the hill sledding to their deaths, did he slam hard and high angle of attack and tear the tail off and kill everyone in the back seats, ect ect. If it was dumb luck it was quite literally the best dumb luck in the history of mankind, or he did well. I stick to he did well.
@robgrey6183 yep winter, doesn't mean active snowstorm, or low visibility. Just means winter. Might as well look up the meteorological data from that day while you're at it Super Pilot.
How simple it is when someone doesn't live in Brazil. Here, if someone leaves their belongings behind, when they return, they'll have nothing left! That is, if they don't rob you first... Congratulations on the content! I thought it was really cool and I'll keep watching.
Stoked you found the mountain bike nearly maxed itself out before switching to foot, the versatility of it combined with your extra battery plan's clutch!
I haven’t visited your channel for sometime. Your adventures are always good for my soul. My time in BC back in 68’ and 70’ was perfect. Now you take me back to that peace. Thanks
3:36 Rocko looks very strong 3:58 Rocko looks back to check out the camera. I found those two instances interesting and just wanted to stamp it. Great video Forest! 🤙🏽
Excellent video, thanks for sharing this adventure with us. Yukon is so beautiful. I drove up there during the 70's with my dad on endless gravel roads and will never forget that experience.
I lived for years out east of there, in the middle of the area they think that C-54 went down, way out in the bush. I've hiked, paddled, climbed throughout that country. It's big. You could drop an aircraft carrier into the middle of it and not find it for a hundred years.
@@robgrey6183 And it depends on how the plane hit the ground. The one shown here is very visible, it crashed relatively flat to the ground. If the C-54 came in at a sharp angle and especially into soft ground.. it would be pulverized and mostly be underground... and then possibly overgrown with grass or bushes. Probably never be found..
Very cool piece of history to feature, I had never heard of this crash! The overhead drone footage as well as your exploration inside the craft were captivating. I was reminded a bit of the story of 'Society of the Snow' but I'm very glad to hear that everyone was able to be rescued. Thanks for sharing one of your adventures with us as always. Rocko was especially cute while you were setting up the tent!
Rocco proving why a Jack Russell is the perfect companion dog. I’ve been owned by 6 since age 3 and I’m 60 now. They were all different, but all the best company. I’m off to walk the Pennine Way again next year and my 3 year old JRT is coming too.
Hey Foresty forest another great climb that was so cool to see that old plane and to know that everyone survived that’s amazing. Thanks for sharing you and Rocco you guys always make my day. Be safe out there.🇺🇸♥️🫶🙏👍😎🐾🚐🏔️🇨🇦
I lived in Alberta most of my life, but I moved away. I have heard about all the cool stories of the cool places you can visit and hike up in the mountains but I have never had the courage to make it up there. I am glad I found your channel way back when you were building your original van so I can see all the cool places you visit, though only through a screen, but better than never seeing it.
I absolutely love the Yukon. What glorious mountain fields you shot. Thank you for sharing Simon and Rocko. Really enjoyed this one and dreamt a little as I watched about those beautiful fields and valleys. ❤
Thanks for the context on that C54! Here I was thinking you & Rocko chartered a plane & someone let Rocko take the wheel. (haha) No politics, just great content. Nostalic, superb cinemtatography, short & sweet. Thoroughly entertaining, Jen & I greatly enjoyed it. Keep ‘em coming buddy!
that band of sunlight on the mountainside when you were packing up your tent made for a beautiful shot. You have such an eye for beauty. And Rocko made me laugh out loud when she snatched the rock from your hand and wrestled it into submission, then rolled on it's dead body. Your choice of name for her was prophetic. I love the landscape you were in, it seemed more relatable for me. those big peaks and the glaciers and river crossings you do really scare me. It's great to see you and Rocko out enjoying life. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
I generally don't watch videos over 10 minutes, but this looked interesting. I watched and enjoyed the whole thing. Gotta love the love and loyalty of a dog. He was so happy to be on an adventure with you!
First time viewer. You rock! Truly appreciate your indomitable spirit and physicality. I even like your little dog too! Looking forward to vicariously joining you on future adventures.
I really enjoyed your adventure here. Seeing how you played it and used your resources was cool, and the plane was real interesting too. Glad to see no graffiti all over it. Love your happy companion too- cheers, and thanks for sharing a cool trip.
I have always loved the clean lines and simplicity of this era of airplane…DC3 being my favorite. It looks eerily like a “fresh” wreck. Great video with you and your little pal Rocco 💜
OMG. This was awesome. Nothing insane. Nothing to prove. Just a great time out. I can only imagine the calorie burn here. Wish I was a young guy again. Well done for living life now!!!
Was awesome running into you today!! You are an inspiration to all of us out exploring!! If you ever need anything you have my info, don’t hesitate to reach out!!

The skill, effort, and talent that goes in to these videos is unmatched elsewhere on the internet. Foresty, you are truly a gem.
Not just the internet there are professional film makers that couldn't do what he does
Thank you, that's nice of you!

I miss all mine as well but am enjoying not being responsible for a fur baby which in my opinion is harder to raise than a human.

OMG, Rocco hopping like a bunny is so dang sweet. Beautiful landscape!
Nicely made video with excellent drone shots: no outdated 1990s transitions, no abrupt panning and zooming, no unnecessary background music.
These sound like good ideas
History, hiking and biking. Always love a Forest upload.
Imagine having on top for that a cooking session with master chef foresty forest could be awsome 😅
It's insane how well preserved that plane is! First that it didn't completely shatter on impact and the fact that there's almost no rust or other signs of decay within over 70!!! years is just amazing
Most of it’s aluminum, it wouldn’t rust.
@@Sashazur Oh that makes sense as well! Thank you :)
I'd guess it landed on snow too hence the lack of damage
Pretty interesting how they cut parts of the plane off. Obviously, there was some kind of classified information that shouldn't get out.
Rocko is living her best life with you. Congrats on the 400K. That plane is in amazing shape considering the crash and elements.
Thank you Donna!
Quality from a time long gone we will never see again.
I'll bet the snow in February helped soften this crash immensely.
That plane almost made it over the mountain top.
@@xcalibertrekker6693 No. Those era of planes were built as fast and cheap as they were not expected to last long in wartime. The airplane is simply in good shape still because its made out of aluminum. Aluminum essentially lasts forever as it forms its own oxidation layer over itself, which protects it from corrosion. It has nothing to do with "old timey quality".
It’s so nice of Rocco to let you costar in her phenomenal videos! She’s incredible!
Miraculous survival of the passengers. I can’t imagine being in those temperatures waiting for the rescue. Great video Simon.
They did have high altitude low temp flight suits and jackets, although SOP is not to shelter in an aircraft as a last resort. Surrounded by metal the cold is all around you by wind chill. A snow cave would be much warmer. You should check out "Survival in the Andes" about the soccer team that crashed. The one you want is written by the man who walked out and saved them. Most inspiring book I've read from a non-military situation. Peace
For 3 days no less!
Hey my friend! Th8s sure brought back memories. I'm 72, I spent many years traveling in a 56 GMC long panel van.
My companion was Cinnamon, a fenale 120 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback dog. We would do what you did. Drive in, then hike in deeper.
You will live the rest of your life remembering your pup bouncing around. You treat Rocco very well and he is always watching out for you.
Blessings to you both.

THIS made my day!!! Beautiful hike....great history...ROCKO is the best pup...what a LIFE!!!
Thank you Simon and Rocko ....for sharing that ! Drone shots and all were amazing , and Rocko on springs ...yeah !
Beautiful country up there. My Uncle (late) flew from India into China during WWII, and I heard a few of his stories on flying the hump. Navigation was primitive back in those days. The crews were all kids, except for pilot, who was a more seasoned 24 year old. Thanks Foresty.
My father in law also flew the Hump, his name was William "Bill" Coffey. He had his own plane after the war, flew all over the west.
Imagine the wrecks up in the himalayas..man those boys had to have nerves of steel, always on the brink of crashing into mountains
My grandpa did as well. C-46s, C-47s, and the transport version of the B-25. Bet they all knew each other!

Glad to hear that you are taking more time in a gorgeous location like that to enjoy a three day camping trip and plane crash site exploration, Foresty. You travel around so much, and sometimes cover such long distances driving from one location to another, it is nice to know that, at least some of the time, you get to live life at a slower pace.
I find the fact that the other aircraft with 43 onboard is still missing to this day, that's just crazy to think about.

One of the best videos I’ve ever seen on RUclips! Had a perfect mix of everything.
Wow, thank you!
Excellent video, thanks for sharing this adventure with us. Yukon is so beautiful. I drove up there during the 70's with my dad on endless gravel roads and will never forget that experience.
Next mission for Rocko and Foresty.....find the Skymaster C-54.
I lived for years out east of there, in the middle of the area they think that C-54 went down, way out in the bush.
I've hiked, paddled, climbed throughout that country. It's big.
You could drop an aircraft carrier into the middle of it and not find it for a hundred years.
@@robgrey6183 Yeah, its amazing---been missing almost 75 years now.

And it depends on how the plane hit the ground. The one shown here is very visible, it crashed relatively flat to the ground.
If the C-54 came in at a sharp angle and especially into soft ground.. it would be pulverized and mostly be underground... and then possibly overgrown with grass or bushes. Probably never be found..
@@robgrey6183 would scanning google maps not work you think?
Very cool to see, that wreck was incredibly well preserved.
Very cool piece of history to feature, I had never heard of this crash! The overhead drone footage as well as your exploration inside the craft were captivating. I was reminded a bit of the story of 'Society of the Snow' but I'm very glad to hear that everyone was able to be rescued. Thanks for sharing one of your adventures with us as always. Rocko was especially cute while you were setting up the tent!
Rocco proving why a Jack Russell is the perfect companion dog. I’ve been owned by 6 since age 3 and I’m 60 now. They were all different, but all the best company. I’m off to walk the Pennine Way again next year and my 3 year old JRT is coming too.
Hey Foresty forest another great climb that was so cool to see that old plane and to know that everyone survived that’s amazing. Thanks for sharing you and Rocco you guys always make my day. Be safe out there.🇺🇸♥️🫶🙏👍😎🐾🚐🏔️🇨🇦
Thanks for taking us on your adventures…AND for doing all of the hard work! It is very much appreciated.
For some reason I was sure this was a Mark Felton video when I clicked it. When you started talking I was really confused. Great video, my friend.
Your confidence in your videos is epic, never doubt yourself. We love you foresty ❤️🐶
Always look forward to your content, it brings a smile. Rocco brings a laugh. Awesome!
I lived in Alberta most of my life, but I moved away.
I have heard about all the cool stories of the cool places you can visit and hike up in the mountains but I have never had the courage to make it up there.
I am glad I found your channel way back when you were building your original van so I can see all the cool places you visit, though only through a screen, but better than never seeing it.
Everything Rocko does is with strong enthusiasm! 😊
I absolutely love the Yukon. What glorious mountain fields you shot. Thank you for sharing Simon and Rocko. Really enjoyed this one and dreamt a little as I watched about those beautiful fields and valleys. ❤
Awesome Video. You have the best life style. No one does it better than you.
Rocko reminds me so much of my JR Henry who lived for 18 years.
Such a loyal companion 😊.
Just subscribed 👍
Thanks for the context on that C54!
Here I was thinking you & Rocko chartered a plane & someone let Rocko take the wheel.
(haha)
No politics, just great content. Nostalic, superb cinemtatography, short & sweet. Thoroughly entertaining, Jen & I greatly enjoyed it.
Keep ‘em coming buddy!
Thank you Rob 😊
Love this format, respect the effort that went into it - thank you for keeping us entertained.
Always love your videos, keep up the good work!
that band of sunlight on the mountainside when you were packing up your tent made for a beautiful shot. You have such an eye for beauty. And Rocko made me laugh out loud when she snatched the rock from your hand and wrestled it into submission, then rolled on it's dead body. Your choice of name for her was prophetic. I love the landscape you were in, it seemed more relatable for me. those big peaks and the glaciers and river crossings you do really scare me. It's great to see you and Rocko out enjoying life. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
I generally don't watch videos over 10 minutes, but this looked interesting.
I watched and enjoyed the whole thing.
Gotta love the love and loyalty of a dog. He was so happy to be on an adventure with you!
First time viewer. You rock! Truly appreciate your indomitable spirit and physicality. I even like your little dog too! Looking forward to vicariously joining you on future adventures.
Great adventure thanks for putting in the effort to take us along..
I was watching the original upload and it disappeared at about 8 minutes in. Glad its back.
I really enjoyed your adventure here. Seeing how you played it and used your resources was cool, and the plane was real interesting too. Glad to see no graffiti all over it. Love your happy companion too- cheers, and thanks for sharing a cool trip.
CONGRATULATIONS on reaching 402,000 subcribers, Foresty and Rocko!! Woohoo!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😃😄😁😇😋🤑🐕🦧🐒💥💫💯🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
13:02 Rocco is having too much fun 😂😂
dude you are pro level, thanks for sharing these places and for being the good steward you are, it shows an excellent example to the rest of us
Rocko is adorable .You two make a great team .
Excellent video! Thank you for all the wonderful places you take us to!
I sure love little Rocko with her big personality!
I have always loved the clean lines and simplicity of this era of airplane…DC3 being my favorite. It looks eerily like a “fresh” wreck. Great video with you and your little pal Rocco 💜
Stumbled on your video, and so glad I did. Thats countryside we hardly get in England. Thank you. Subscribed.👍
Awesome video, as always! Thanks so much for sharing your adventure!
