Hey Foresty making videos is your business hence is essential if you want to come over to BC. If you get stopped just tell them you are doing video production. It's illegal to block someone from making a living.
Watching from the US..I must say I am totally hooked on your videos! In watching your videos, I love the three segments..cooking..hiking and talking. I've noticed when you're on the hikes, you seem so much more happy and relaxed; you smile more .your demeanor changes from a regular person who lives in a van..to a super hero hiker! Love it!
Most humans seem to exhibit increased levels of fulfillment and satisfaction when in the wilderness. You can read several research papers on the subject. All folks should take some moments to hike!
Once you start hiking, before long the exercise starts releasing endorphins which in itself feels great and if you're in halfways decent shape, it maybe be a stiff but of exercise but not so much as to take the fun out of it. Especially if you know how to pace yourself so you can walk for hours. That is the real key to it.
I loved the capture of the sasquatch foot print, it clearly wasn't a grown adult but super cool that you included that, and I bet most don't even notice or think anything about it...
Two Foresty Forest videos in one week? Does anyone else feel like they won the lottery when that happens?? Long live FF! Congrats on making it to RUclips’s top 100 trending videos!!!
beautiful Calypso Orchids and Spruce Grouse at the beginning and I held my breath as you traversed whatever vertical snow wall that was with your ice ax.. : O
Thanks i was wondering what that flower was. The GoPro exaggerated the steepness of that slope, the footage looked nearly vertical haha. But i definitely should've brought crampons for that... it was a bit scary.
Jasper was my first stop when crossing Canada by train in 2001. I was supposed to go to Vancouver but never went further than the rockies in that first trip then went back to live in Banff a month after I came back to Montreal. You have a nice life!
100 summits and thousands of recipes. I love your channel and your content. I hope we get to travel a 1000 summits with you. Your a genuine nice person FF, the world could learn a lesson from you.
That might actually be a pretty tough job. Who knows how fit your clients will be, or not have the right equipment. If he spent the same time making videos he might have more fun & make more money. I wonder how he likes to write? a Foresty Forest memoir/cookbook/route guide would be interesting, I would buy one. Might be a good project for rainy days.
Sleeping is such a basic human need, and to have a price tag on it. . . . strange. Truer words have never been spoken. What a society we have, obviously much room for improvement. Another great video Foresty, thanks! Already looking forward to your next one. Cheers.
I believe he's referring to the strict restrictions imposed by the Alberta government on camping during the brutal Covid wave they going through right now.
@@konsardine7515 You heard the term self imposed slavery? This is the underlying foundation. We all need a place to sleep but in our current system we need to purchase it, therefore we are forced to get a job to pay for it. Having a job means we need to pay for the whole system, income taxes, health care etc. There is no way to opt out without it being illegal. In the city I live in it's actually illegal to sleep in a camper I own even if it's parked on my own property behind my house. This has been the situation long before any of us heard about covid.
@@RealG-j2q Social distancing in dispersed camping couldn't be better. Where's the logic? What about that fine - $25,000. for sleeping outside a designated camp ground??? Reasonable that is not!
@rolland Blom I'm not a politician, but I imagine this measure is in place to discourage big groups of party goers. Unfortunately everyone has to pay the price for the acts of few :(
Picture quality is excellent on this one. The music at 3:37 reminds me of that old Cops TV theme song: "Bad Boys Bad Boys, whatya going to do, whatyah' gonna do when they come for you". Community hike?! We can do my 3 minute hike from work to McDonalds that I did yesterday.
You keep the light burning in all of us watching you do what you do. One day soon I hope to be at least 20 percent as amazing as you are. Thank you for showing us the amazing beauty that western Canada has to offer. Sage travels!!

Living the way you do shows you're a very spiritual man. Not always easy but you have many talents to keep your mind and heart occupied.📸🕊❤🙏
I'm happy I've got some free time right now, as I'd like to say thank you! I went on my first ever hike up a mountain yesterday. I'm in Colorado on a trip with my college, and we planned on going up to the summit of Flat Top Mountain, which was roughly 11,800 ft. Total elevation gain was around 2,200ish ft., and it was a solid 7 and a half hour hike. I kinda wanted to give up roughly three miles on the trail, never been on snow like that (of which, I am amazed by what you do now that I have that experience in mind), but I wanted to experience at least a little of what you do, so I pushed myself to the summit, and had the greatest view of my life. Thank you FF, I've got some amazing memories and some fantastic photos.
As a professional chef, I am impressed by your creativity how you cook your meals in such a small space, with minimal appliances. I always look forward to seeing what you come up with next! Always travel safe.
It doesn't,t matter what your doing sitting in your van making something in your air fryer or crock pot or on a mountain showing us beautiful scenery,we just love to watcha. We will always support you. have a great day.
Just got done with a 12 hour night shift, Nice to come home and see this and relax before bed time. Have a great day! Love the video's so awesome to see whats 4 hour from me.
I just love the honest , earnest and humble demeanor of Forest. No drama, just really great hikes and fantastic filming/editing. Enjoying the music selections too. When is the live stream? Thank you FF, I always feel decompressed after a virtual hike, and a good meal 👍
I was in Jasper in the early 90’s with the British military doing adventure training. That place has always stuck with me because of its natural beauty.
Congrats on #'s 98 and 99! You probably get tired of hearing it, but you are such an inspiration. You hike, cook, build, design, film, narrate, and edit...and every video you tell us something we didnt know before. You motivate me to be better and do better!
Your videos are getting better and better, for those of us sitting in our comfy armchairs wishing to just have your energy , you show it so beautifully , congratulations coming up on your 100th peak .
I’m binge watching old videos going back to when you moved into the big van. I’m loving the time lapse footage after you summit and are heading back to the van 😎
Hey there FF - I know this is your income and also your passion - just make sure it doesn't turn into a grind that you "have" to do instead of your joy that you share. You don't owe us a thing, we're just lucky you let us tag along.
Two videos in a span of two days? You're spoiling us!
Congrats with 100 peaks, FF!
Thank you 😊

You need one of those flying squirrel suits, Foresty! Then you could just fly down to your van.
...or even better, a regular squirrel suit. 👍🤣
Id watch that. 😊

It’s like he has the camera crew from a epic movie. Nice work!
If be terrified of some of these climbs where it looks vertical. But you do them with a camera in one hand sometimes. Hats off to you. Great content.
I must say, great editing.
Thanks!
Yeah, the amount of extra hiking is respectable. But the shots are so worth it.
Hey Foresty making videos is your business hence is essential if you want to come over to BC. If you get stopped just tell them you are doing video production. It's illegal to block someone from making a living.
Thats a good point. 👍
Next weeks livestream is from a BC jail cell.
The have blocked quite a lot of people from making a living during the lockdowns though.
You can argue your point from your jail cell but I bet there won’t be anyone there to listen.
Yeah, all those drug dealers are getting locked up for non-business reasons.

Toasting a beer to you on your 100th summit peak! Thank you for taking us to the mountain tops.
Of course we`ll be be having Foresty Forest watch party. Please becareful.

It was a bear track... but that's not as exciting.
Soon as it hit the screen, I was like ...'really!' And he just kept going. Brave guy that FF.

Indeed! 😁

The fact you watch Donut Media makes me love this channel even more than I thought possible!!

Probably a law against that.
He is based mostly in Alberta. Those mountains he climbed today were in Alberta.
@@mjor6406 well, he does live in a van so it'd be easy to base out of BC or anywhere :)
@@RealJohnnyDingo It is easier to access mountains in Alberta. Most of the small, big mountain guides and climbers in Canada live in Canmore Alberta.
