I love the Go Pro footage on your way down the mountain back to the van! Your videos are awesome..no ads..no selling of products..no phoney stuff..Forestry, you're the real deal!
Yesssss exactly! You cant go 5 secs without someone plugging a forced ad 🤣
Authentic
What’s wrong with them making money?
@@nofundsgaming251 Nothing wrong, but some are greedy.
Hi Foresty. My wife and I (New Zealand) are in our late 70's and look forward to seeing your videos. We do worry about your mountain climbing but I guess we get the adrenaline rush through your amazing exploits. Well done you. You are a fine example of a good man. we love your cooking too!!
The slow cooker deserves its own channel.
I really enjoy these videos. I'm living a vicarious van life...
My wife loves this part of his videos ! LOL
hey foresty dont know if you'll see this just wanted to say ive been watching you since the first city vid in the van and you have consistently brought me a lot of happiness and satisfaction that someone can go out and live the life they want to to the fullest. love your stuff man, keep being you
I agree..i like the fact aswell that he has a go at his own van maintenance,with a methodical approach.
It's the best way to learn by having a go yourself ,mistakes along the way help aswell for the next time .from the UK 🇬🇧👌
I saw your activity on Strava and OMG man you're a machine... +10K feet of elevation gain in one day is crazy (at least for me) 😂 awesome stuff
Especially with all that backtracking he has to do to get those camera shots at 14K feet. Dude is a champ.
@@mushroomsteve he's less stroud if he lived in a van
Too easy to damage knees with so much descent for me.
Crazy looking back at this video now because he stated in his most recent vid with Rocko, that this hike and extreme elevation experience left him with bad exhaustion and bad symptoms in general that lasted for a few weeks! Extremely elevation is no joke, you get above 8 or 9k and your body and brain are really going through a ton.
A man in his van with a slow cooker. Forest, we love your stories! Keep going! You're a wonderful storyteller and adventurer.
You're only 2 or 3 hours from Cerro Gordo mine.. you should try to meet up with Brent from Ghost town living and do some hikes and explorations.. that would be pretty cool!
Yaaaaasssss!
This so much
Great idea!
exactly
That would be awesome!
I just saw your latest episode on Moresty Forest and the negative comment you had received. Do not change a thing in the way you are doing things. We like the honesty and the day-to-day things you do make it all interesting. Recently my wife is watching and also my 91-year-old mother-in-law has become a fan of sorts! Keep up the good work
Yikes that scramble at the top looked scary. What a view! Good job figuring out the brake rattle.
I had a sucky day at work, but Forrest is gonna help me unwind. 🙂
What happend traci ☹️
@@mortuus4601, you're kind to ask. Possible promotion in my department and the level of fakery and sucking-up and suddenly caring about the job is putting me off my good mood. Today was better. And you?
@@tracimcmurray5244 i feel everything is against me xd.
Epic climb.Thank you for taking us along.
Hey Forest! I'm a big fan and am an automotive mechanic(and influencer) by trade. Those aftermarket pads and slides are known for coming loose over time, and having poor overall fit and finish. Stick to OEM pads and you wont have an issue. I am located in Sonoma County(not far from where you are now). If you want to swing by my shop I can help you fix your gas clicking off issue. Let me know! -DTFiori
Woa, Sonoma is far away from The White Mountains........I grew up there. Heh heh 😅
Such a nice offer
What is causing the clicking off issue?
@@danreed7889 most likely the charcoal canister or associated parts. Forest does a lot of off-road and sometimes in creeks, dirty water and debris most likely got in there and clogged up the system. Sometimes it can be cleaned out, or unplugged, other times the canister/vent valve may need to be replaced.
@@fiorisony thanks for the info!
WTF Simon! Some of that rock up top looked like it could barely be traversed. Glad you made it safe on another epic climb 😎
Exactly mate .😳😲
Great to see you in my state. 10,000 elevation gain is a huge day. You should also look at the Cactus to Clouds hike from sea level Palms Springs to 11,800 feet to the top of San Jacinto Peak. Biggest gain in one day. Keep the videos coming.
Nice, thanks for the recommendation, that's huge!
The only way I can do that route is to take the tram up! 🤣
I did that once, crossed it out of my bucket list.
300k Subs is so hard to believe, best kept secret on RUclips. All my buddies are hooked now too, thanks for always delivering, Foresty!
Perfect timing. Was just about to turn RUclips off because there was nothing to watch
Same ha
Yup
I know what your saying...Its nice to just choose what you want to watch, but when your shows dont upload its sad,
I know what you actually meant but I saw this comment and my mind immediately concluded that you have the power to take RUclips offline and didn't because of this video XD
Every time Forest goes through a talus slope or across a scree field, I can just count how many times I would've done in my ankles while trying the same.
You made it look so easy but I can tell you’re pretty stoked for that “dear diary “ entry. I wish you safety and good times ✌️
Cook. Designer. Electrician. Carpenter. Mechanic. Mountaineer. Videographer. Humorist. Is there anything you can't do? Can ya juggle? LOL Thanks for your amazing effort and spirit.
Every time I watch your videos, afterwards I have to raid the fridge due to suddenly feeling really hungry.
I watched your response to the criticism video. Great reply. Not mad just clear.
I am 57. I used to be almost as active as you and I watch your videos and shake my head and Pat you on the back.
You put huge effort in. In your hikes, your content, your cooking, your field repairs and your beer drinking.
As for the guy saying you put too many videos out….. please keep them coming. My fiancé and I are avid viewers and love to watch your videos in the evening after dinner.
I road trip loads and totally relate.
What you are doing definitely takes effort and commitment and I bet more people would agree with me.
There will always be critics. ( 😀)
(If you have time Pm me. ).
The solo stuff is so tough. Be easier in some ways.
Thanks for hours of quality videos and entertainment.

Welcome back to California! Hello from Clearlake, California! The largest lake in California!
Forest, the man with awesome hikes, and
incredible kitchen skills……
Always a pleasure!!!
Stay safe sweetie
❤️🥰🙏🏻🇺🇸💕
Hello Foresty!
I discovered your channel about three or four weeks ago. I loved the
first video I saw, Finding Nemo, which got recommended to me via the YT algorithm,
thanks RUclips! After that, I watched your first minivan video. I loved that one too, so I
decided to watch more! : ) After about 30 videos, I made it my mission to watch all
of your (up to now 198) videos on this main channel, including your biking trails.
Yesterday evening I watched this last one. Mission complete! Man, what a ride.
I honestly never got bored. I love all the different elements in your videos.
The adventures in a variety of different places (plus the beautiful footage), the cooking,
the builds in the van(s), etc. On top of that I love your 'it is what it is'-attitude. You are just you.
You never try to come across as something/someone more than you really are.
And that’s a rare thing on RUclips (and other platforms) nowadays. Don’t spend your
energy on the critics (I saw your latest Moresty video). I’m convinced that the people that stick
around and also support you in other ways (Patreon etc.) are doing so because you do
your own thing and you just are who you are. Thank you for the hours and hours of
awesome and inspiring content! Cheers
Never thought I’d be less than 200 miles from the infamous Foresty Forest! Have fun, stay safe and thanks for another great video
Yeah you should definitely give yourself the day off after completing a summit climb. Look after your body and rest up. Looking forward to seeing those cabins on the mountain, hope you make it up there another day. Cheers!
@Jacob Kaiser he passed up Panaca Hot Spring in NV but maybe if he heads back to Utah... course there's plenty of others out there!!
Rest is under rated
Nearly 10000 feet of elevation gain in 8 hours at high altitude and then back..
You are a machine!
Once again supplying us with a hatrick of content ! A peak, a slow cook and a repair ! Superb visuals as always ! How much longer do you think you’ll be here with us in the States ? Looking forward to more Western US coverage !
Thank you, I think until April atleast. I would like to make my way up to Alaska in the spring!
@@forestyforest HOLD ON, Did you not go to Alabama Hills???? off 395
@@RVingwithG I agree, Alabama Hills in Lone Pine, South of where you were on 395.
@@silverhemiguy 30 years ago Alabama Hills was uncrowded, no one around. Pull up at night, camp, head up Whitney without a permit. Today, crowds, ruined by social media.
We rode White Mountain a few years back when the road was open, it wrecked me for a good few days even with a little acclimatization! Bravo on hitting in one go and I bet that dinner hit the spot!
Just curious you rode? On moto or were you able to mt bike it? thanks!
@@randallgd rode it on a mountain bike, kicked my ass!
This was an epic one! Don't blame you for keeping the video beyond the hike brief; hoping your rested up!
So many think Cali is just beaches and L.A. or S. F. But there is so much more. The deserts of California are very special
@Michael Rows AC install is urgent.
I’ve got to say how much I enjoy your videos. I have seen some negative comments about the cooking and hikes. But that is the diversity of your channel. You can’t always be building a van. You have invited us along, sharing your life. This channel is a snapshot of this time in your life. This isn’t a reality show based on writers, it’s what you are living at the moment. Don’t let these detractors take your attention away from your videos. Thanks for putting out positive videos that any family could watch and enjoy. Cheers! Mike Dupree
Have a great time Foresty, in the prettiest corner of our California !
I love our state !!! We have a ton of problems but definitely the prettiest of all 50!
This is the greatest channel ever - slow cooker, massive hike, brake maintenance. Real life!
MY GOD! I used to work at Chalvant! I worked as a plant and trees place. Went there for a couple of years! Great country!!!!!
And forgot yes I climbed White Mt. Peak. I hope you will climb Mt. Whiney! I did!
Mr. Simon's awesomeness is 😎 👌 🙌 👏
I felt so proud of you when you reached the summit! Glad you made it safely!
I love your work ethic! You are incredible!
This man has been avoiding Covid, avoiding the protests that are driving people apart, all while visiting some breathtaking places. This man is living the life! Good man!!!
Foresty craves mountains.
What an understatement.
WOO HOO Congrats on summit #143 !!!
I always look forward to your adventures! You are a good cook, mechanic and a great adventurer. Thanks for the fun!
You are the man. So is anyone that goes from normal air to thinner air, wait for it, on foot. Kudos for another great adventure. As long as nothing is amiss on the brakes a rattle is pretty normal. As an old mechanic once told a customer, “If you brakes “squeal” when you put them on it means they are working”. There can be 5000 parking spaces and someone will pull right beside close enough to bang their door on yours. I had a 1973 Dodge 3/4 ton van that brakes rattled for 350,000 miles on every bump.
You’ve been teasing us with these videos you put out every 3-4 days. Keep up the good work, looking forward to many more!
That was epic! Great slow cook! And the hiking was beautiful!
LOL!!!!..."Ford Pintos & Champion spark plugs"...Another 2 thumbs up for your epic jaunt...I love when you show your journey back to the van, not only is it quite enjoyable but it is nice to know that you have made it back safely.
Cheers!!
Hi Foresty (real name withheld). I watch your videos for the van life and the hiking. The Managing Partner (wife) watches for the hiking. We both enjoy being taken to new places that we won't see anywhere else, and your commentary. I never tire of seeing a guy in a van in the middle of nowhere pull out a sewing machine to do some mending. Certainly, shake things up from time to time, try new things. But stay true to the channel, it's why we're here.
That was an impressive physical & mental undertaking. Congrats again.👏👏
Incredible hike and footage. Did you see me waving when you reached the summit?! Greetings from Vancouver Island.
I waved from calgary 😂
Ohio here😁
@@kkibler1 vote that fucker out brother/sister!!
@@MOI-qq8zc God Bless the Canadian Freedom Convoy! TRUCK YEAH!
I was waving from Little Sutton Cheshire UK! 😂
that must be so weird to be cooking such a feast at 5am!! what an awesome hike and awesome video!
Don't let his mellow demeanor fool you, Foresty is a climbing Beast!
I maybe his only subscriber to say this, but i love it when he goes into town and buys stuff. Cant explain it, its pretty cool to see loll😁
Hey that's not fair... Lol!
Forest thank you for showing us the country . You inspire many and we wish you the best time here in the States. God Bless!
Welcome to Cali from Big Pine Ca, we were literally driving around in the Bristlecone area on Sunday and around the valley floor. I was running errands in Bishop on Monday and could have actually driven right by you in the Vons parking lot. So close to a legend and I didn’t see you🤦🏼♀️ We still want to buy you a beer if you are still here in the area🍻
Zen and the Art of Van Maintenance
Epic hike - about10,000 feet gained to over 14,000 height - Foresty, you truly take us along on a most unique experience!
The sheer effort it took to do this, let alone film the dang thing. Well done man.
Always enjoy when you cut up the vegetables FF :D Congratulations on such a great hike! That was one of the most intense ones you've done IMO.
A video showing off the tool kit you keep on the van would be cool. You seem to have everything you need to building and repair projects.
I was just loading my slow cooker and thought, "where is Foresty Forest?", and boom, new video. Crock pot telepathy.
such great editing. great close up on the garmin
Welcome back to California, Foresty, it’s good that you’re here.
Bishop is a great town with beautiful scenery.
the inside of your van is looking really good. i must have somehow missed the improvements, what looks like decorative painting and the artwork
Thank you Foresty! I had major foot surgery just over 8 months ago and have been watching your videos to keep my eyes on the prize during the recovery process. Did my first peak a couple weeks back, although it was nowhere near on this level, it was a step in the right direction and these videos have kept me motivated through the physiotherapy. Keep up the good work.
When I got up near the top, the last half mile or so, up around 14,000', my heart started beating hard, like it was in distress. It had never done that before. It was banging against my chest. I actually got a little worried. Had to take it slow.
Once the climb was over and I was on top, it was okay.
You suffered altitude sickness. Try carrying ibuprofen; great trick I found to combat altitude sickness
The time-lapse portion of each video has gotten better and better every time. Very well done, we appreciate it!
The footage of your feet as you were climbing up was really cool!
Thank you Forestry. being a tree farmer stressed from just chastising a ignorant "doctor" here you are for respite. Thank You
Have to say the wood stove was a really cool addition!!
Foresty, we've been watching your channel from the beginning & we'll never get tired of it! Your content is among the best on RUclips. Love your cooking & humour!
Foresty is a jack of all trades and master of all of them too.
Wow Simon that is no joke, my biggest day is doing Big Interior Mountain on Vancouver Island here at 2200 meters. I was dead tired for days after that so I can't imagine what almost another 1000 meters would feel like.
Forestry Forest, he lives in a van.... In Cali ❤️😎🌴👍. I love how you just stop and fix things on your van. You are unstoppable!
9500 ft gained? holy shit!!!!! great hike!!
No one will ever fault you for working on a rig at an auto parts store. Usually some of the nicest people out there, prob come out and ask you if you need any help. I’ve always had good luck crisscrossing the nation in junkers. Not that, that van is a junker, she’s a sweet piece!
The content you provide is amazing! Keep it up
You are an amazing young man, thanks for the video.
We love your videos, too bad for anyone who doesn't like them, their loss. We can't travel right now so we especially like seeing your hiking, history, drone footage and van life experience. Thank you for all you do!!
Beautiful camera work - you’re a natural, for the framing is always perfect. The humour in some of your scenes lifts my heart.
No going back to the factory for you, Simon! Talent like this is rare, you let the mountain be the star.. Utah blew me away…
Oh, and thanks for this content on a personal level - going through a hard time here in the UK and you help me de-stress and sleep!
That was incredible. For you to be spent says a lot. Great climb 👍🏽👍🏽
Best friend and I did a 14,250 foot mountain several years ago. I'm still recovering to this day!!!!!😁
Amazing view, the distance you can see is overwhelming. Thank you for sharing.
Serious mountain hike.
Glad u got rattle on van fixed for now. Great video as usual
with all the regulations and everything else thats happening these videos are like a breath of fresh air. a bit of sanity in a crazy world.
Very, very well done👍 That’s a big hike!
I love watching this in all its 4K glory. even with my nose 3 inches from the screen, can't see any pixels. Epic hike, Epic resolution :)
Forest and Robot same amount of letters, same meaning...Mercy!! Enjoy that meal...
It’s incredible what a human being can achieve by just putting one foot in front of the other. You are inspirational (and very fit!).
I drove with my family to the top as a child, later MTB'd it the top in '96. There are quite a few hot springs up towards Mammoth. Most dirt roads lead to a spring.
Impressive! I've only hiked to the summit from the trailhead which starts at 11,700ish feet. I didn't even know there was another way to get to the summit.
If you're passing through Bishop, CA Erick Schat's Bakkery is a local well-loved institution of baking goodness.
I always end up hungry after you make a slow cook meal! That was quite a climb. It was good that you had dinner ready when you got back. I'm happy to hear that there is a road to the top. That's the only way I'm going to get up there. Probably take some oxygen with me. I wish that I would have been able to travel when I was young. Thanks so much for taking videos. I really enjoy them.
Buy those brake pad sliders @ Pep Boys. They should come with hi temp grease.
Don't leave that steel in there. They will rust and cause trouble.
Feel glad you have so much input from supporters
Holy cow the footage!
OG subscriber here Foresty. Love your stuff. Take care stay warm. ☕️
The climbs never get old , that looked like a tough one. Nicely Done.
Y’all gotta “glue” the pads to the caliper using “stop squeal” type of stuff. I like the orange “disc brake quiet.” Stops the rattles like a champ.
Whew what a hike !! Bishop is a mighty tiny town
