Woah! Surprise mention that the books almost done there at the end. I'm sure all us viewers are gonna be real excited to read that, and I'm sure lots of folks on /lit/ will give it a read too.

Lol. As someone with a job very close to "assistant professor of data processing at the local technical school", boy am I glad we've got people like forest anon out there.
I'll hopefully get to write you soon! Need to make sure I get on that hypothetical "Writes Letters to Ted Kaczinsky and Forest Anon" FBI watch list! Excited to hear about that book you are writing too! Is this the first time you mentioned it? I doubt I would have missed such an exciting anouncement as a Forest Anon Book being written. A late Happy New Year as well, brother. I don't know if you had enough people tell you that.
Hahah the best list around 😎 I'll be excited to get a letter from you Gay Hans! I only mentioned the book a couple of times on my Instagram but never have here in a video - didn't want to overdo and have it seem spammy. Happy New Year to you as well brother I hope 2023 treats you well my friend 🎉
Hey Anon. Discovered your videos recently and damn, it has been really inspirational. I'm only young but I feel like I'm already sick of how society has made me (weak, sluggish, numb to most feelings). Your videos have really given me a lot of insight into living a life truly worth living. I hope in the future I can live similar to how you live, discomfort and all. Was wondering what you would recommend for a young guy still in school to do to prepare for a life similar to yours? Hope to send you a letter or care package one day. Much respect from Australia 🌲
You should check out the youtuber field days he makes great survival videos in australia doin bushcamping and challenges surviving without anything. Quality vids, informative and entertaining
Glad to see you and I'm glad I can take a moment to absorb the lessons here, because I completely agree, I think that the style of living you portray through your channel is a very natural and healthy way to live but I'm not gonna force it onto anybody at all because that itself isn't healthy, feeling like you *need* to live a certain way, just be as you are, stay true to your nature, and what falls into place is what you were truly meant for.
any uploads soon?🙃 I wouldn't mind seeing videos again like you posted 2-3 years ago, with you posting spring, winter, summer ect, hope all is well anon
Thanks for uploading. Your videos have made me realize that suicide is not the solution and there’s so much beauty to be found in nature. Thank you. I’m saving up now and I’m debt free, and in a couple years I’m moving up to Alaska to live my dream. Glad to see you’re safe and doing well ❤
I just found this channel and have watched a few of your videos. I just want to say you’re a bit of a personal hero of mine now. Keep up the good work man.
Great story and quotes man. You are a very wise person and i'm not just saying that for the sake of it, I mean it. I hope you're staying safe out there. I'll try and send you a letter some time - will you accept books also or would that be too much for the PO box?
Thank you so much man I appreciate you and hope your winter is going great and the season is treating you well! And yes my P.O. Box can definitely accept books! Anything that doesn't fit they will put in a parcel locker for me 📫🌲
How're you handling the recent weather? Got winter storm warnings in your neck of the woods, supposed to get down to around 9F this coming Friday. I'd love a video about how you handle it. I've spent my fair share of nights out in the winter, it's incomprehensible what cold feels like till the sun sets and you've no fire.
It hasn't been anything too severe yet! Extremely cold and soggy these last few days 🌧 It's hardly rained or snowed compared to the first couple of years - the drought had me feeling really down, so I'm hoping the curse finally does break. If the clouds do open up hard like my radio is warning you can bet I'll definitely get video!
I want so badly to live the life you have. I feel hopelessly depressed in the life I have rn. I have a job, and 2 cars but i feel like the fat dog on the chain. Im sad and want to be free and want to be the wolf. If I could convince my wife that would should abandon society together and just be happy hermits in the woods, I would. But fat chance cause ive gotten to fat from my masters food to slip free from the collar.
I could try and figure it out! 👊🏻 That's actually one reason I wrote the book because I knew it would be a lot to try and fit into a video, I'll see what I can do brother 🌲
Hey brother hope you’re doing well. Uncle Ted passed today and it made me think of you. See you haven’t posted in 5 months. I hope you’re still out there living the dream. I love your videos man please post again soon
I was just in the shower hours ago thinking about this fable, wondering if you were still out there, if you had a PO box I could send stuff to and if you were writing a book. Now I look you up and all my questions are answered in 1 video. Can't wait for the book dude.
Damn i just want to be in the woods at my camp but it's pitch black here. AND don't miss the comet in the northern sky tonight, you can barely see it with naked eye but it's still cool and it's going to be green. Greetings from Finland!!🇫🇮
fire takes brother. If you ever want to use any of my tracks for future vids, copyright free full permission, go for it, mostly just beats and shit that help me get through my life when I make them for some reason
I wonder do you have any strange experiences in woods? To me forest have always been the least scary place, and such. So many people seem to find scary stories from woods though, but funnily pretty much every time i ask from people who spends most of their time in woods they have least amount of stories often.
I've never had anything spooky or paranormal happen to me out here! 👊🏻 You're absolutely right though man, people always wonder if I've encountered things like skinwalkers or cryptids - but to me those are all just superstitious tall tales that only serve to scare people away from being able to really appreciate the beauty and wonders of wilderness. I actually feel safest up here! Because at night you can hear a twig snap in the basin below from miles away. The frogs go quiet whenever something creeps by. Everything is like an alarm system here, so nothing can sneak up on me! I will always feel more secure in a dark wooded canyon than I would in a brightly-lit city alley 🌲
Hey brother, I need you help. I've had my part out here in the domestic environment. I want to return to my true self. I'm planning off grid, in nature, be nature... How did you prepare? What were the things you had to do, I'm veryy little hesitant right now and trying to find the right things, right spaces in my own head too, efc. But if you could share, brother. You might end up actually helping a soul returning to the true form
I'll reply to this fully in a bit! The wind has my signal a little wonky today. But until then I just want to say thank you for following along on my journey! Much love my friend 🌲
I put up Christmas lights and decorations! And on Christmas eve I warm up apple pie filling and watch Christmas Vacation and It's a Wonderful Life on my phone.
