@@forestyforest Keep in mind the idea of restarting Patreon whenever you might feel like it, or it becomes financially useful. A lot of people would be more than happy to contribute a few bucks a month, without any 'extra content' expectations. Your channel is worth it.
That's three bears in the last two episodes! Thanks for this beautiful footage of everything. My six year old watched this with me and she pretended to be Rocko.
I'm at a lost as to why you do not have millions of subscribers as without a producer, cameraman, sound man and 'gofer' you showcase the wilderness, wildlife, lakes and mountains in such magnificent grandeur. This was a real feat of determination and we were the beneficiaries. 🌟
There aren't as many people who watch outdoor content as other niches, growing in this niche too is a struggle. There are a few vanlife channels that are bigger than foresty but almost all of them are under 1 million subs.
@@rustysmith540 And as he said in one of his recent videos, he gets REALLY high numbers of views consistently on his videos and has been doing this for quite a while. Which is fantastic! 🎉
@@IdRatherBeHiking I agree with you, but I think that Foresty's channel is unique because he crosses over into multiple genres such as vanlife, camping, hiking, mountaineering, cooking and adventure travel. No other channel that I am aware of does this. It puts him in a category by himself, and is one of the reasons, I think, that he DOES consistently get so many views on any given video. His videos appeal to a wide range of viewers with a multitude of interests. Throw in his charismatic personality and dry wit, and it is a winning combination!
If you are still curious, the strange sound that you heard in the forest is what used to be called a "Blue Grouse". These days that species is split into two, the Sooty Grouse (more coastal) and the Dusky Grouse (interior west). They look and sound nearly identical. Where you were there is sort of a hybrid zone for the two species. That far north their ranges meet. This is fairly close to the coast so it's probably a Sooty.
My first thought too. Whenever I first encountered a Grouse drum I was on a canoe trip in Maine and didn't realize it was a ruffed grouse. Unfamiliar with the sound I assumed it was some kind of human encroachment, maybe an echo from a wind turbine or something and I was annoyed. Later when I searched for info on the sound I realized it was a grouse and now I love hearing it whenever I'm out and about in the north woods, especially in spring -- they really pound it this time of year.
Agreed! That mountaintop drone view with Forest standing there on the barren peak with a bright sunny sky... Breathtaking! Keep up the awesome work my friend
Thank you for taking us to the places where I could not go on my own. The veiws from the summits are stunning. I can't imagine how beautiful they must be in person.
Thanks a ton for taking us along on another fabulous adventure! I really appreciate all the work you do to provide such amazing footage of this beautiful landscape. You and Rocko are the best!
I’ll just cowboy camp next to the strange noise over in the trees. Nope I just couldn’t. That low energy vibration would’ve made me crazy within about an hour
Foresty, hearing that sound coming from the forest after seeing those paw prints would have thrown my imagination into overdrive. I would not have gotten any sleep. I'm glad you both made it to the top.

I think that he had it with him the first night where he camped, but accidentally left it with his sleeping bag and other stuff on the second day when he climbed the mountain.
I thought that may have been it that I saw later in the vid lol I usually wait till vids are done but the mention of not having spray I was like no way! 😂
So here I sit in my car because it's the only place my back doesn't hurt, but managed to make a virtual trip with Foresty Forest and Rocko before breakfast ❤
Viewing your scenery on a large screen .. is the only way to get 1/2 the impact that being there in person would be .. but when you reach the summit .. and Rocko is with you .. and the music begins to play .. just WOW .. a pause in heartbeats .. to take it all in. To top it off .. a nice grizzly running the other way!!! As always .. thank you for showing the world these amazing places.
I get to see so many beautiful places because of your adventures. I'm comforted that you seem to make sound decisions regarding climbs that are too dangerous and local wild life. Big thanks to you and Rocko
My bro and I heard that sound too on our last hike to a local cabin. It’s a grouse! Freaked us out pretty bad until my friend told us what it was 😂 apparently they are good eating too
I got sidetracked looking up the website you mentioned, great information, so i got to watch the video twice. Beautiful. Thanks for showing that amazing world.
I think this month is my 3 years anniversary of watching Foresty’s every single video as soon as they come out. I wish I could contribute to his endeavours $$$
I still just can’t believe you’re a one man show doing all of this incredible stuff. Anyone seen Foresty in the wild? Did he have 5 producers and a camera team with him? 😂
All I can say is you are so brave to sleep where bears roam. I would be exhausted worring of being a snack for some bear. Please take bear spray ....next time! I don't think Rocko could fight off any predators ...even though she thinks she could. I look forward to your video's. Gorgeous footage. Thank you!
Congratulations on another summit 👏 That was freaky to watch with all the bear tracks everywhere, built up the anxiety like a scary movie. Little Rocko looked so tired back in the van. Stay safe ✌️
I thought the same thing when he showed the water pump. Did not realize that they had these in coastal BC since the growing season is so short. These are a huge problem on national forests in California, and can be potentially dangerous for off trail hikers who stumble across them (due to possibly armed guards at the grow).
Amazing territory! Awesome video production!! I can’t imagine hiking amongst the bears not to mention sleeping like that. You have nerves of steel!! And you forgot the spray….. I would have spray and a .44 magnum revolver at least. And you have some of the best drone footage there is. Love it all. 👍👍👍👊😎
Can't agree with you more......I'd have bear bangers, spray and a shot gun........I have seen bears blast through that tight knit forest crap as if it wasn't there.....they are the top of the food chain out there and now it! His footage is the best, no-one comes close.....EXCELLENT...!
Seeing abandoned campsites always seems kinda creepy to me. I hope the campers didn’t meet with foul play. Stay safe out there, Simon! May God keep you protected on your adventures.
Sooty Grouse is the drum noise! Meat Eater has a couple of episodes hunting for them in Alaska. Hear them all over in the coastal range. They can be quite strange to hear if you're not sure whats out there. Usually you dont see them as they hoot way up in the trees!
I have known many "hikers", none ever carried an ax and crampons. Those who did were called "mountaineers". You sir are no hiker! Thank you for sharing your adventures. I wish I would have been able to shake your hand when you were in AZ! Plenty of Mountaineering around here. Good Travels!

Beautiful . .That drumming sound is a ruffed grouse
Thank you for the information. 🌎 💙
It’s actually a sooty grouse drumming not a ruffed grouse. Ruffed do the wing beat thing while sootys inflate chest air sacks and drum

Yep - we hear the grouse all the time in Vancouver!
Agree, Grouse was my first thought, we had them in PA. Also heard them at dusk in the Sierras.
Nothing has scared me more, on forest hikes than grouse!
"Dusky Grouse" sounds like a really good single malt.......
Love your channel...Thanks!
Thanks Tammy, have a great day 😋
A small gesture of thanks for taking us along.
Thanks, have a great day 😊
Another great vid!
Another video， thanks 😊
SPEC - TACULAR!!! What a view, what an achievement!! As always, your drone footage is breath taking! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks Maggie ☺️
Agreed! That mountaintop drone view with Forest standing there on the barren peak with a bright sunny sky...
Breathtaking!
Keep up the awesome work my friend
That bear running down the hill because he just heard his buddy yell to him; ‘Hey - there’s a Foresty Forest following behind you!’
What ever you try to do,, you videos always bring me joy. Thank you Foresty and God bless you fella.
Thanks for sharing another awesome adventure!
Thanks Alex 😊
We look forward to your videos as soon as they pop up on our feed. Keep doing you, and Rocko is a beast. You two are awesome!
Thanks!!! 😊
I'd never get to see such natural beauty if it wasn't for you and Rocco. Thankyou both so much mate...
Pretty sweet adventure Foresty!
Thank you Paul 😊
Summit 186 FF, 42 Rocko !!! Woo hooo!!!! 🎖🎖⭐⭐ Seriously awesome country. 👌 👍😎🇨🇦🙏
Thanks! To keep your Bear spray Supply in tact
Thanks Ken 😊
He needs to keep it on him.
🤩🤩🤩
WOW. Foresty, you never fail at providing a gem of a video.
Thanks and remember the bear spray next time 😱👍
Thanks Geoff, yup those alpine bears are out there!
Right ! Thank you. BEAR SPRAY !!!!
Great adventure, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Corina ☺️
Another Forestry Forest episode that brings happiness to my heart and soul ♥️🐶
You picked the right dog for your adventures, you and Rocco are a great team. Be safe out there.
If he was being safe, he would not have accomplished what he did. He takes calculated risks and has very little fear. Absolutely amazing stuff.
I agree! super impressed with Rocko's mountaineering skills.
Your cinematography is absolutely beautiful
I show these to my 2 year old granddaughter and she points and yells, "Rocko"!
Thank you for taking us to the places where I could not go on my own.
The veiws from the summits are stunning. I can't imagine how beautiful they must be in person.
Thanks!
Thanks!!!
Most likely a ruffed grouse drumming in the distance.
Thanks a ton for taking us along on another fabulous adventure! I really appreciate all the work you do to provide such amazing footage of this beautiful landscape. You and Rocko are the best!
Thanks Mark 😊
Your eye for the beauty and sharing it is deeply appreciated. Stay safe out there.
We love you Foresty , Rocco too😁 .
Everytime you post you bring a smile to my face and my day becomes brighter.
Thank you!
Stay safe out there.
We're all Different Mr . and you got Balls of Steel doing those climbs... Happy 2023 !!
Glad at least no mosquitoes. THAT VIEW. Congrats and thanks!
Great something to watch before bed. Another adventure with foresty forest and Rocco. Thanks for taking us along
I just sat down to have lunch and the first thing I see on RUclips is a new video from you. Life is good.
I’ll just cowboy camp next to the strange noise over in the trees. Nope I just couldn’t.
That low energy vibration would’ve made me crazy within about an hour
Pumping out the episodes lately. Love it!Best channel on RUclips!
Hard to find words for the beauty
Foresty, hearing that sound coming from the forest after seeing those paw prints would have thrown my imagination into overdrive. I would not have gotten any sleep. I'm glad you both made it to the top.
It’s a grouse
Oh Canada, our home and native land.!
Your country is magnificent ❤ 🇨🇦....
Thanks for the adventure :)
Thank you Nate 😊
Oh, Magoo, you’ve done it again!
Amazing views! I like how Mother Nature in just a few decades can make a road disappear. In my lifetime I have watched it happen here in Utah also.

Nothing made me feel so small while out in the wild as bear tracks the size of a dinner plate lol
Dude you didn’t bring any bear spray with you through the woods?!?!? 😮 or you just didn’t bring it up on the glacier?
I think that he had it with him the first night where he camped, but accidentally left it with his sleeping bag and other stuff on the second day when he climbed the mountain.
I thought that may have been it that I saw later in the vid lol I usually wait till vids are done but the mention of not having spray I was like no way! 😂

Nice hike with beautiful scenery... Little Rocko out there living the dream....
Thanks! Always find your videos inspiring!
Thank-you 😊
Foresty Forest he lives in a VAN!!!
And yet again another award winning video, .....please never stop 😊love your channel 💯
Dear Foresty, that hike into the ice field was really something. Incredibly inspiring. Thank you
Grouse drum like that in the spring wen they're mating. I hear that every spring around my cabin.
FF do you ever get tired of such BEAUTIFUL scenery?? You are a regular John Muir. 👍
Rocko IS "MIGHTY DOG!" She is an amazing and awesome dog! 👍
I remember that commercial
Thanks for taking us along. Such beautiful views.
Epic adventure! Thanks for sharing. Pet Rocko for me. She’s such an adorable pup.
Rocko, my favorite RUclips doggie🐶♥️🐶
Kiitos! Thank you!
Thank you 😊
Wise, brave, and beautiful everything. 🌄
Thank you for this GREAT video!❄❄❄❄❄
So here I sit in my car because it's the only place my back doesn't hurt, but managed to make a virtual trip with Foresty Forest and Rocko before breakfast ❤
Wishing you relief and wellness.

I pray God will somehow help your back. In Jesus precious name 🙏 ❤️....

Thank you for sharing this experience. It helps me dream. Thanks.
Here in Pennsylvania we have been seeing lots of haze contributed from those fires. Our planet is both vast and small.
I think this month is my 3 years anniversary of watching Foresty’s every single video as soon as they come out. I wish I could contribute to his endeavours $$$
Wow those were some Big tracks, Mercy- but that was some Beautiful Country you were in, Glad to see y’all made it back to the Van, lol -
Some beautiful places
One of the only youtube channel where I simply cant skip parts of the videos. Love it!
Beautiful Scenery brother ! Man, those Grizzly’s in that area! No way!
Praying for your safety Foresty. You are risking your life!
Those mountain scenes just take my breath away~! :)
Thanks for taking us along! Since you shut down your Patreon, I wanted to contribute something extra. Gorgeous footage and Rocko is such a good dog!
❤....
Thank you 😊
As someone watching from the UK, if we still had bears I wouldnt leave the house.
I still just can’t believe you’re a one man show doing all of this incredible stuff. Anyone seen Foresty in the wild? Did he have 5 producers and a camera team with him? 😂
Nope, he does everything himself. Pretty incredible!
Don’t stop till the top,, well done forest. Rocko is the freest family dog on the planet. Have fun stay free
Am I the only one who gets scared about slipping or a bear coming? Lol. This channel is by far the best
Thank you for doing these for us. Very beautiful.

Breathtaking Icefield Glacier in the B.C. Coastal Range, Wow.
That was breathtaking! & Rocco has the best life a jack russel could ask for! She is a lucky pup.
HEY! Good morning Foresty and Rocko!
That river camp you saw was a weed grow. That's why they had the water pump to pump water up to the grow.
