Puppy! Congrats on the new addition.
Wow. Didn;t imagine seeing you here
Hope the house is coming along smoothly. Happy st patricks day enjoy a few step 2s for me!
@@Vee_H. they have collab'ed in videos before
Nice to See You Step 2... Enjoy your çhannel Very Much 🌻💕🌻
I'm totally here for a canadian avengers team-up episode
From Rocko's point of view, she has hit the jackpot -- what a dog dreams of: a pal to be with all the time, lots of places to explore, and RUclips stardom!
Exactly!
That little girl is gonna have an awesome life!
I’m seeing Rocko t-shirts and stickers- Rocko’s Puppy Life. Right?
What an absolutely beautiful little girl.
I think your comment is spot on ... along with new merc with Rocko's pic...
Just when you think this channel couldn’t get any better, you get an adorable little puppers. Here’s to many great adventures with your new best friend!
As a fellow Jack Russell owner I can say without hesitation you picked the best breed for your life style!
Most Jack Russell owners are thinking “What have I gotten myself into!? This dog has too much energy!” But in this case, poor Rocko is thinking “What have I gotten myself into!? This guy has too much energy!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
THAT IS SO TRUE !!! ROCKO DOESNT KNOW WHAT SHE HAS GOTTEN HESELF INTO 😆 YOUR REPLY REALLY BLESSED ME SO MUCH I HAD TO REPLY
Bwaahhaa! I laughed sooo hard at this!
Excellent comment!
#truth
I have a jack chi and he is the most wonderful dog ever so was my shelty but this 1 is a cuddle bug
So glad you’re feeling better, Foresty. Your new room mate is fantastic. ❤️
A girl named Rocko and a boy named Sue.
Rocko is one of God's Blessing's to Man ! ! !
My lord she's adorable. Her little face in the back pack! Don't be afraid to take a longer break man, these huge hikes must take it outta you. We'll all still be happy to watch you and the pup just messing about in the van while you recover!!
Agreed!
Welcome to Van Live, Rocko!!! What an amazing pup!
I love the videos! Just a recommendation from a 9 year veterinarian here: Most puppies shouldn't be going on long walks until about 6-8 months old depending on breed and size. JRT are usually fine by about the 6 month mark for longer walks, but extensive walks at early ages can result in developmental issues with the joints as they grow. For me, I would recommend no more than a quarter to half mile a day until that point. Each vet has different opinions, but this is usually the standard here in America. Looking forward to more videos!
That'll be 350$, thank you
@Danny 🤣🤣🤣😆
@@danny1921 I'm also a vet ..I'll give a discount of 300
@@soniadowney7427 Can you talk about Parvovirus and when its safe for Rocko to walk/run around where coyote's or other critters carry parvovirus. Is it 5 days after the third shot.
Thanks for sharing that information. I thought she had an awfully big day adventuring with Foresty, but she seemed up to it. Good to have a vet guide them through her first year. And, she's adorable.
Rocko is one of the luckiest pups on this big blue ball!
Also: “I’m worn out- I think I’ll get a puppy!”😂
My wife and I were in BC/Alberta last week and I jokingly said “maybe we’ll see Foresty Forest.” We were sitting in traffic during the Highway 1 closure between Lake Louise and Golden, decided to turn around and detour, and holy crap, you were ~10 cars behind us. Had I noticed sooner, would have come over and said “hi.” As we were getting back on the highway in Golden, we crossed paths again…the detour took us the same time as if we’d just waited. Keep up the great content!
Rocko might be the cutest creature I've ever seen! Can't wait to see your adventures with your new pal!
My 13 year old Maltese is going to pass away in the coming weeks. I've had her since she was 2 months old, we grew up together and she is my everything. I'm from the lower mainland, just got a 4x4 truck last summer and I was hoping to explore the rest of BC with her. Seeing you play with Rocko and her having so much energy and life brings a smile to my face. Thank you and I hope you and Rocko have many fun adventures ahead!
@Doomwyte . Sending up prayers for you and your dog.
Sorry about your Maltese. 😔
I’ve just had to say goodbye to my 16 year old dog who has been with me everyday since she was 12 weeks old we were never apart all day and night … it’s heartbreaking she left behind Inky my 6 year old rescue dog so together we are trying to be ok … the thing to remember is the love they give you and you give them is all that matters… look at the smiles on everyone’s face watching foresty so happy with Rocko and her new home to be full of adventures… this is the magic of dogs.. be strong when the time comes ❤️
Thank you for the kind words everyone :(
I understand what you are going through, I get your pain. I lost my soulmate (see above) and although the grief does ease you never forget. All we can do is try to remember how blessed we are to have had that much love in our lives.
The best puppy advice i ever got was to immediately take them outside every time they wake up from sleeping.this will save lots of mess
This!
Yup and after every meal.:)
Great Advice , puppies have very small bladders , I would take my puppy out at least during the night , Small price to pay in the long run.
When you thought forestry's content couldn't get much better....it just did. A great addition to the channel!
Ohhhh my goodness Rocko is adorableness overload!!! She is the cutest. She seems like such a happy puppy. Go easy on her Daddy, she's still a baby. Really enjoyed your video.
I'd recommend taking her to a dog park or two if you go through a town just so she can get to know other dogs and can socialize a bit.
what if he meets a rich woman dog owner at the park and he gets married and shuts his channel down ..then would you have recomended that
@@steveswhirld if she’s rich, then he would have even less to worry about and could post simply for pure fun, not also to make a living
if you socialize your dog at the local park, please make sure she has had all her shots. Dog parks can sometimes not be where you should take your dog
Please do not bring her around other dogs until she has gotten all her shots. With my pups, that not until around 4 months.
@@katchoo1865 agreed, not safe especially for a puppy
Vaccinate for safety
My best friend for 17 yrs was a Jack Russell. Seeing your pup reminded me of her! Congrats!!
Amazing dogs my friend has one. Perfect for van life. 👌
Love my jack Russell she is always at my side ❤
my 17 yo best friend was a black lab. 65 pounds of mean chasing everything that ran, machine. Mine left me in 2010 and life has sucked since. I am thankful to have had 1 dog and a few cats growing up, and then my hairy, four legged son, SHADOW for those 17 years after I left home. Dogs make life better.
Same here. Best dog ever and we had him 17 years.
She's a cutie and looks great fun! My Jack Russell was with me until he died aged 16. Archie was my best buddy and came everywhere with me. My little hero. Wishing you both many happy adventures together! Joe. UK.
She’s the cutest little pup! Smart training her while she’s a baby for a back pack..🥰 lots of patience and she’ll be just fine
Literally had a smile on my face the entire video! Loving your new addition Foresty and no doubt she will help to keep you company and be a great hiking partner.
Be careful with your health! If the CO detector isn’t alerting you, the wood stove may still be stealing a lot of the oxygen in a confined space. I was a chimney sweep for 10 years, and I would recommend an outside air kit for the stove if possible.
I thought the woodstove had an outside air intake. If not, I think you've nailed it.
Crack a window...
@@jakemanchester5139 That will work too, but usually people don’t want to open a window when it’s -30. An outside air kit connects directly to the stove. In most homes they come up through the floor.
@@outdoorfun8780 I 2nd that, totally agree. Kyle is worth listening to, a fit person like Foresty Forest, he speaks about how he had some issues in this video ruclips.net/video/aebtcTi7EaA/видео.html
@@outdoorfun8780 This is my guess also....I also know of someone who has long lasting lung damage unfortunately from 3 cases of covid....he can't fill his lungs fully any longer...shame....the Dr's say maybe in time..?
I am so happy for you Simon!!! ❤️🐶 Rocko is a perfect addition to your family. You’re already proving to be a nurturing and considerate papa. I know you’ve wanted this for so long and now is your time. Happy and Safe Trails.❤️
Rocko,she’s absolutely adorable what a fantastic mate to accompany you on your hikes.❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations on Rocko!!!
Something I'd like to share: she has a tiny developing bladder has to pee every 15- 20 minutes after hydration during waking hours. 🙂 And immediately when she wakes up and before bedtime. You probably know all this. But I didn't when I first became a puppy parent.
You'll be fine.
Oh teething lasts for first 7-9+ months so she'll need things to gnaw on ... and yeah the backpack works. I've done it w all my pups. They loved it, too.
But keep in mind puppies need to sleep 16+ hours Daily as they're growing Forest. And they need to develop their skeletal system and muscles...
She needs lots of hydration especially with high elevations.
Puppies need/ should eat 3-5 small meals a day for first 3-6+ months.
My adult dogs are VERY ACTIVE and I feed them snacks and lunch and have fresh water available at all times. And carry a gallon+ with us (just for them) during drier months... for a simple two hour excursion.
I'm glad you're ok.
Yesterday I was getting worried. I think we all missed you.
I'm glad you took the plunge w Rocko and her first video is a fun one. Dad's already making air fried puppy biscuits.
How about that. 🐶🐾🦴
The cuteness level of this channel just went through the roof. At the same time, watching her next to those big dropoffs sends my stress through the roof.
What a sweet little dog! Jack Russells are the best, smart and never ending energy, the ideal companion for your hikes. 👍🏻
How does Rocko’s debut not have a million views yet? 👍🐾
YES! Sierra was very attentive when Rocko was introduced. That's awesome, Forest...I love traveling with my furry best friend. Look forward to seeing how Rocko enjoys 4x4 van life! Cheers ~ Brian & Sierra
Hey ! Brian and Sierra.
I started following Brian for the adventure! Then I stayed because I fell in love with Sierra. Love your vids, long time sub!
My dogs will go in on their own. They like it.
@@bleuskye8124 Good Morning! Sierra says hi too (woof)
@@markalbiar6151 Hey Mark, thank you for following along all this time! Sierra is the best, she's such a great companion. Hope you have a great start to the weekend! ~ Brian
Foresty making homemade dog treats just made my day! She is precious ❤️
Thanks for a great video, I didn’t want it to end so I’ve watched it several time. Rocko is going to be the best medical treatment you’ll get; she lifted my spirit while watching the video so she must be so uplifting for you. I showed the video to my mum who has dementia and she smiled throughout and we watched it together a second time. I’m looking forward to more videos to come. My only request is a longer video next time, and congrats on including Rocko in your continuing peak quest 😊
This pups is gonna have the best dog life of all! so happy for you :)
"80% is the new 100%" I feel that. All part of getting older.
Could be all the elevation change as well. Not just the peak climbs but even the driving and changing elevations every 30 secs. Couldn’t imagine being a pilot or flight attendant that goes up and down 30,000 feet a few times per day.
The cuteness level is off the charts! What a great companion for the years to come. 🐶
She’s adorable! Congratulations! I hope you’re feeling 100% soon. 🙂
Jack's are amazing companion dogs. I have a twelve year old jack, and I take her on all sorts of hikes, and she has no problem keeping up. VERY high energy, and very lovable. Welcome little Rocco! Glad you are on the mend Foresty!
Doggie might need her own sleeping bag. Easy to make: Get a small size down vest--turn it inside-out and sew the bottom and 2 arm holes closed. At least this worked for a West-highland terrier. :-)
When she's older you could get her one of those coats with spikes to protect her from wild animals when you hike. Kate Cloud has one for her little goat that she takes everywhere.
Interesting! Never thought about it, it's a great idea.
THIS! Necessity for small dogs in Alaska. Lots of raptors and eagles don't have great vision for size and will grab a dog, start to fly off and then drop them when they realize it's too big. I had a bald eagle eye my 38 lb cattle dog and even start to swoop down (had a vehicle that I was ready to shove him under). Spiked coat just means less worry.
Rocko is absolutely precious and I personally have found there is nothing better for improving ones health is having an animal to give them the added boost to life.
You won’t regret it man. When you bond for life with your dog it’s just as strong as bonding with your family. They take a lot (more emotionally than anything) but give back 10x the love and help.
Oh dear god the cuteness is killing me... congratulations Foresty. Looking forward to future episodes!!
@Joe Thibodeau Joe, you just slayed me with that comment haha
I almost had a heart attack when the puppy was running on the edge of that hill or mountain. She is adorable.
Welcome, Rocko! She is very lucky to have you, Foresty.
Oh. My. God. Welcome to life with a JRT. Ours was a rescue named Stella and she kept us on the go 24/7❤️🐶
A lot of work but worth it. It’s a great breed. Enjoy 😊
"something smells like pee" 😂 welcome to having a puppy... she is adorable 💚
I love how she made a noise when you said there might be cougars out there! She's so freaking adorable! I gasped when she tried to go in that hole, but then I thought, "Well, she's a terrier."
Rocko is adorable! I fell in love with her watching this video. She was a great choice for you! Yes a jack Russell seems like a perfect dog for your life style. They are smart and fearless. I had one who I used to take camping. They just can get distracted if they start chasing something. As you've probably heard they were bred for hunting rats. Mine knocked himself out once chasing a squirrel into bushes that had a brick wall behind them.
When she is so small you'll also have to watch for eagles.
Had to go backwards and see when you got Rocko, wow, she has always been adorable and a perfect fit.
JRT's are the best dogs. I had mine for 14 years before she passed last August. Smartest most loyal dog I've ever had. Never once needed a leash or even a collar. She stuck to me like glue. Take care of Rocko!
Sorry for your loss, ours is 10 years now, dogs are amazing
We had one 17 years. Best dog ever.
My boy was 18 when he passed. He loved to travel and hike when he was young. I wish he’d leash her so she doesn’t run off. Cute though and will be fun watching her grow.
Srry for the loss, sounds like great dog. Twelve years so far still loves hiking the trails.
Congrats on finally deciding on getting a dog. Rocco is adorable and full of spunk. You picked the perfect breed to fit your lifestyle. I had a jack russell who lived to 20 yrs old. I miss him dearly, every day was an adventure with him. Enjoy.
This video is one of my favorite episodes on the Foresty Forest channel. I just keep going back to look at it again and again. Simon is so gentle with wee Rocko. And Rocko is unbelievably adorable. It just makes my heart melt.
I have never written a comment on a video, ever! But the level of cuteness of your pup... I have watched it 4 times... don't worry about vanning with a dog. I lived 2 years full time in a camper van with my dog that is a husky/lab mix so not exactly small. They adapt. They follow you wherever you take them. From the way she follows you, I see she is already connected to you and that's important and you are giving her everything she needs: attention, exercise, gentle discipline and training and so much love. You are doing everything right. Congrats to both of you finding each other. :)
She’s so cool already! My only advice on crate training is to try giving her a treat every time you put her in there. She’ll start to associate it with the treats and learn to like it. I would also give it a name, and eventually she’ll learn to just go in there when you say.
It? Rocko is her name-o.
@@geraldhenrickson7472 "it" meaning the crate
Also through a treat in and keep the door open, once in a while. She’ll know it’s her cozy space
Why would you need a crate if you live in a van???
Great advice. I would also make that place Rocko's exclusively. You loose some storage but Rocko gains a den and a place of sanctuary. Apologies Forest, every person and their dog is going to give you advice on whats best and what you're doing wrong - I don't want to be that person but i just did lol
Can’t say I ever thought there would come a day where I’d be watching a guy living in a van, making healthy treats for his dog, in his air fryer, then relaxing by a fire, in the van 😂 👏 💝😜 Sooo glad I came across your channel 🔥 Rocko will nourish your soul 🤗
Getting a dog companion was a great decision. Hopefully, she will be a great pal for many years to come.
Just when we thought the foresty content couldn't get better!
Yeah bud!!! I can’t wait to meet her 💜 I’m sure Frank feels the same.
She’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, congrats on your new friend 😊
She's ADORABLE! I am giggling at her sweet puppy antics! 🐶 😍
Everyone who lives out of their car, suv, van, whatever needs a companion. I can't imagine living this lifestyle and not having a little buddy! She's a lucky pup for sure!
Be still my heart! I've never seen a baby JRT. What a precious little companion. Thanks for sharing. I think I've watched most of your latest videos but just discovered your Moresty collection. What a joy.
We used to have three Jack Russel Terriers. Took them on many hikes and mountain biking rides. I think you picked the perfect breed for your lifestyle. They are awesome dogs.
Congrats on becoming a Pet Parent, - I always liked Mark Twain's quote about " the more I learn about human nature, the more time I want to spend with my dog" :)
That's The truth
Absolutely agree!
I love cats!!
Rocko is adorable. This is my first time watching your video.
She has incredible energy . So sorry to hear you haven’t been feeling well but glad your on the mend
She's gorgeous. She's got a kind caring dad and a lifetime of adventure
Rocko's head tilt at 2:41 when you're setting the slow cooker is adorable. Congratulations FF!
@@K1OIK Relax
If in the SF Bay Area, where car break-ins are very common, be sure to bring Rocko with you when you leave the van! Rocko is so cute! :)
I just subscribed to this extremely relaxing and interesting channel about 2 months ago. I have seen Rocko in many other videos and she is sooo much fun to watch. I am VERY happy I came across this video of when you first got her!!
She's so freaking adorable!! She's lucky to have you and you're lucky to have her. You two are going to have some amazing adventures. 💖💖💖💖
Rocco is absolutely adorable! I think she’s gonna love the van life.
Dogs do really well with van life, especially if that's all they have ever known.
She is adorable!!! I love her already. She looks like she has a lot of beagle in her. She will keep you warm on those cold winter nights too
Cuteness overload! I am a new sub and I just had to go back to find the first of Rocko 💜💗 She's perfect
Watch for eagles, hawks, and owls also. In my county in Missouri, an owl picked up a full-size Daushound and carried over 15 miles, and dropped it in the middle of a highway. Luckily someone saw it drop and retrieved the do. The dog had a tag on his collar. He did have to go to the vet for tears in the skin.
Yes, this happens frequently with little dogs, especially when they are running in open areas (beaches, fields, etc). You can buy a kevlar vest for them if needed.
@@WTFwuzdat that Daushound weighed 15 pounds. He was a fatty. I was shocked. I have a 2.5lb Yorkie, 8 pound Yorkie, and 90 lbs husky hybrid. Theiny Yorkie hops around like a rabbit so we have to be right by her side when we take them out. The husky is very fast and would probably nail it before it would get off the ground. I recent seen a video of a golden eagle attacking and try to pick a 9 year old girl she weighed 60lbs. I couldn't believe my eyes.
@@adventurebythemile holy crap. That's insane! Hopefully the girl was okay. My dog is 42 lbs, blue heeler, but he is super aware of birds of prey. He likes to chase them and is a land shark. That bird wouldn't stand a chance.
I’ll bet she’s ready for a nap when you get home! Ha ha , off the charts on the Cute Meter! So glad you’ve got a little papoose to travel with now. Take care and have fun! 🎊🥳🎉
This video just made my day! Looking forward to all the Foresty and Rocco adventures!
What a heart breaker sweet Rocko is. Congrats Foresty!
Awww nothing like having a good companionship with a new family member. Welcome Rocko. And you will have many amazing adventures with your new daddy. She is so sweet. Thank you for sharing.
Be mindful of birds swooping her and coyotes running by when you aren’t right next to her. They’re both fast and I’ve known people that have lost small dogs to that when they weren’t too far away from them. Wish you both all the best
Not to be too much of a doomsayer…but ya tiny dogs zipping around off leash in the forest or open areas can be pretty risky, even full grown she’ll be small. I know of a Yorkie grabbed by an bald eagle on a beach & a coyote ran off w a Pom in the park beside my place w both owners quite close. There was nothing they could do, just the thot horrifies. I’d prob use a harness and a long line on those hikes then at least you’d have a chance.
I just saw a comment from @kate vann and she suggested a coat with spikes, not a bad idea at all in my opinion.
Agree this is not going to end well
@@moteroargentino7944 I’ve seen them with spikes down the spine as well as around the neck. They are not foolproof but better than nothing.
Forest goes into some really remote areas where all sorts of animals shy from him, that he never sees, yet they will certainly pop out for a meal.
Pistol with red dot
She's adorable. Look forward to your adventures. Keep an eye out for birds of prey.
She is adorable. It's nice to have another sentient being around. Look at her little legs chasing you.
That dog is going to have the most fantastic life. I am so pleased for you both.
That hound is going to have one amazing life.
I'm a new sub watching your older vids. I was wondering about Rocko. Truly appreciatate you sharing and explaining.
Oh she is so adorable! Please watch your health, little Rocko needs you (and we do, too!)
You did GREAT!!!! Great choice in pups,...and excellent care you're giving the little lady! :-)
Rocko is an excellent choice for your situation. After having much experience with the breed, when my ex and I were looking for a dog she suggested a Jack Russell. I told her no because I didn’t want a pet that was smarter than I was.
Love Rocko!!!! She's so awesome...💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Aww what a sweetie. Take good care of her. ☺️
OMG! I love Rocko! I was actually laughing out loud watching her! She will become your best friend ever!! She is adorable!
Oh, she's precious! Such a sweet little face! They do have a lot of energy, but I really think she will be wonderful for you! Safe travels! ❤️❤️
I missed some of these first videos of Rocko. She’s adorable. The best addition to your life and the channel!
Rocko is going to need her own channel 🐶 Great video as well !
What a wonderful pairing! A four legged companion for you Simon is long overdue! We adopted our dog 7 years ago and the joy she’s brought to me and my wife is immeasurable. I wish you both a long and happy human/doggie relationship.
Great choice on the pup. Also a proud Jack Russell dad for almost 10 years.. soooo much energy, but super clever and lots of fun to have around. We hike all over Italy together.
she already shakes a paw, awwwww Rocko and special homemade biscuits
I could just watch this everyday ❤️❤️😊
Awww foresty your third source of heat is so very cute!!
Since they say unsolicited advice is the best advice, here goes: If you haven't already, start brushing Rocco's teeth. I started with our dog when she was about 3 months old; she's 3 now and actually enjoys it (the beef flavored toothpaste helps, I'm sure). A friend of mine gave me this advice, and I'm so thankful he did. Happy for you! The love (given and received) is worth it all :) Looking forward to all the doggy adventures!
This comment needs more likes and attention!!!! Everyone with a new puppy should know this👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.
Great friend to enjoy Vanlife with!
Adorable!
Awww seeing her follow you was so cute!
