I know that mountain well, have been up there many times in my younger years. That structure on the peak is the old Canadian National Railways microwave tower. The road was built to to bring up a tanker of diesel fuel every August to run the electric generator. A fiber optics network made the tower obsolete. One day a friend stepped off his snow machine at the peak and disappeared through the cornice. A tragic event. Another time forty five years ago I was driving up that road and my land rover was charged by a moose. The moose won that battle. Now I live 250 km to the south and get along with a cane or walking stick. Have fond memories of the Robson Valley and friends who are all gone now. Stay safe Forest. You are one of our best - a national treasure.
Thank you for your explanation @James. I was thinking of what's the purpose of the monument. And wonder if the snowy Cliff ever brought tragedy to anyone.
Crock pot is literally the perfect fit for vanlife, yet i dont think ive seen anyone else have one. Not sure why, for the amount of space it takes up, you can easy ,delicious food making, while you do other stuff. I dont even live in a van, and i want a crock pot!
Forest, I've been following your journey since the beginning. I'm a sick old man who's been in the hospital a lot. 5 surgeries in 4 months, twice in a coma. When not in the hospital I live in van also, but not by choice. Your vids give me hope. I take strength from you. I can't send money, but please know you bring me joy.
James Sunset, your post made me smile. You have a wonderful positive attitude. I hope the road ahead for you James is a much easier one and that you find many happy moments. I wanted you to know your message made a difference in my day. TY
James Sunset, I hope You have a choice if you want to live in a van or appartement or whatever YOU WANT. I live in the Netherlands or Holland and feel what you mean, that Forest gives you hope, he does that by simply being Foresty Forest. No smooth talking, just plain and simple truth, even over his slowcooker. Foresty Forest do you know what possitive, honest, beautifull vibes YOU send in this crazy world?
Stay strong James sunset despite everything you have gone through you are still here pushing on living live I'm sure as best as you can and taking joy in the moment You are not alone I'm sure they are plenty here like myself who will have your back and if you want a chat from time to time drop a line 😃
Never thought i’d shed a tear over the “death” of a second-hand crockpot that shares a van with a guy in the Canadian wilderness, but life’s funny that way 😐
" Remember that there are humans on the other side of that sorting line" That's the kind of person you are and why you are so valuable in this world. Nice, very nice
I agree who heartedly with this statement. At the end of this video I was thinking the exact same thing. What makes Foresty so enjoyable to watch is his pure genuine self. He's not trying to push a product, or be the coolest kid on the block, he is simply being himself.
@@PrestonGladd He is a dying breed of people who care about someone you will never meet, but are a part of our world just same. His videos are like a shot of b12 when I watch, them. I feel hope again.😊✌
Getting harder to explain to friends that I love to watch a guy that lives in his van, cooks in an old crockpot (RIP), and does parking lot carpentry. Worth it.
"It's too soon to talk about that now" LOL... Foresty referring to getting another one, like replacing a girlfriend with another on so fast. Haha. Gold.
You need to know, Foresty, that you are among the very best You Tubers - apart from your video skills (editing and drone work) and your “hiking and biking`’ achievements, it’s your authenticity that makes for compelling viewing. Your humility is refreshing in this “look at me” age. I speak as someone who spent more than 40 years in television, mostly as a foreign correspondent, who’s “got all the T-shirts” (and a fellow colonial!). I wish you everything you would wish for yourself, my friend. No one deserves it more.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that he hikes so far and still backtracks a bunch of times to show us in the video clips? Thank you! Great video, as usual!
FF you are a multi-expression Artist of great talent. The drone footage, other worldly, the 100% no fluff content (that other YTubers would have parsed out, making a whole video on each topic). It is poetry the way you reveal a story from the music, dry humour, videography to the plotline... I mourn the crockpot but the counterpoint is the beauty of the story of the blown glass object with no purpose other than joy, so pure. Carrying with you a beautiful, fragile "survivor" found in the literal bowels of humanity... what a talisman of everything meaningful and wise from high to low in a lifetime. It's not what you do (it is that too) but how you relate that is so classic and amazing. I'm utterly sincere, take the damn compliments!!
Just thinkin - can you imagine - slow cooker lives in a house used once in awhile - then discarded to thrift store, unloved and wondering why (like a good dog) - then in walks Foresty Forest - out of all places - picks slower cooker like a ‘rescue ‘ and slow cooker is off for the greatest adventure of any slow cooker EVER! Just fills my heart like a fairy tale. Slow cooker dreams do come true ! ❤️😁❤️
"It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear friend, CrockPot. Survived by its best friend and confidante, Simon, Crock was a simple pot, living its best life in 4-6 hour increments of pure joy by its best friends' side. Having travelled through all of western Canada, and with a range of flavours constantly being created within its warm walls, you could say it was a seasoned Crockpot, who lived life to it's fullest, surely to leave your heart as warm as a channed Killy. You will be missed, Crock". Pot, Crock 2019-2021
Was just thinking, I feel like INSPIRED to write one, BUT NO , , , the Lord didn't give thy any talent in this depth. Could somebody else write another one , or many more want to write one.
He not only has every handyman skill possible, he climbs mountains, puts together amazing travel videos and editing, and garnishes his videos with elegant piano music!
That Crockpot was slowly rusting to death in a Goodwill. Just when it was about to slip into a dusty coma, you took it out on the road, showed it the world and made it an international superstar! It might be gone now, but it went out swinging baby! Like Neil Young says "It's better to burnout, than to fade away." RIP Crockpot.
RIP slow cooker, the most adventurous slow cooker out there. Gone where no slow cooker has gone before. I'm sure ol' CP would love a mountain view in it's retirement.
I'm really sorry to hear about your Crockpot dying out on the trail with you. It sucks, and she was a loyal companion for your for a long time. Instead of being sad about it, I like to think that you rescued her from that thrift shop as she was on her way out anyway, and that you gave her last days a lot of adventure and purpose. I'd rather spend my last days out adventuring in the Canadian wilderness than stuck on a shelf in a Goodwill.
Here lay Crock Pot, who slow-cooked across the north, as Foresty Forest hiked back and forth, and though our hearts ache to see him go, may his resting place be full of baby wipes underneath the Canadian snow.
That $10.00 crockpot from the thrift store is kinda like the senior adopted pet from the rescue center. Both are kinda old when you get them, and provide a bunch of love and affection while they are here, but so sad when it is their time to pass on.
I think I'll do the same , but how did you do your , , , , , , Half mast ? ? Was thinking , melting 2 bars of butter @ low temp would be like half mast ?
The instant pot duo is a Thing of beauty ~ 3 qt = 700 watts 6qt = 1000 watts I had the exact same crock pot as you. I cried when it broke. Let it out Forest we Understand 💔
I have a 3 1/2 quart Instant Pot... just me and the missus... might be the right size but you may not be able to get a small one w the air fryer which could be a revelation for you!!!
It was rejected. It survived and it was found. Now it is famous. It travelled across landmarks and today is displayed for thousands of people around the world.
FYI everybody, Foresty has been posting some great exclusive videos over on Patreon. All the more reason to become a supporter if you aren't one already!
Absolutely !!....although I'm a pensioner, I support Foresty because...well, because he is talented, kind, humble, capable, and lives a truly authentic life. I really look forward to his content . Cheers from Australia
Its not just a big sad loss for Foresty Forest but a big loss to all the fans who had been with Miss Crock Pots journey since the beginning...........Every rose has its thorn.......just like every night has its dawn...just like everyday Crock pot sings its last sad songg..........you will be missed Crock Pot 😥
Also enjoyed the mentioned of the folks who pick through our trash - the invisible people whose jobs help make our lives pleasant...yet rarely recognised or respected...
Maybe I'm the only one but I watch sometimes and I can feel myself there, living that life, feeling that kind of freedom and those unique challenges... I hope I can handle it with as much grace and sense of adventure as Foresty does. That's the dream.
I know this may seem too soon and tell me if it’s inappropriate, but you’re single now, I’m sure there’s a big market for younger, better looking crockpots waiting to be picked up.
Beautiful 😍views as always! Oh no, Ms Crockpot 😢 RIP. She deserves an amazing resting place as you mentioned. That drive off that narrow snowy road was a nail biter eek. I remember many drives like that. BTW where did you get your blender? I have one I charge by USB, but it's not as strong as I like. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
The fact that the crockpot meals was the way I found you, it’s such a sad thing to see her go, so many meals I did not think was possible you created in her. RIP to the ForestyForest Crockpot. The flashbacks was the best part
Take time to mourn, but apparently Mr. (Ms.?) Crockpot missed Mr. (Ms.?) Old Minivan so much he/she could bear no more to be separated (although I guess technically Minivan is not yet deceased, but nonetheless separated from us...). RIP old friends... I swear I will someday climb to the summit to the resting place of Crockpot to sign the ledger and pay my respects to the beloved countertop appliance...😢
@Scooter McDingleberry A terrarium seed starter would use the glass lid too. But better to label the glass top with the quart size and model and donate back due to glass lids are always needed for replacements.
@Scooter McDingleberry No no..I just have experience breaking lots of glass lids lol! I liked very the flower pot idea..but the crock has no drainage holes and flower roots would rot. It looks like he has a small lavender plant already and he has tried growing greens.
A moment of silence for Crock Pot, really like your idea for it's final resting place, and looking forward to what you decide on for the next Cooking unit (NCC 1701A). 😎 The drone footage from the summit, mind blowing sir. Thanks for the Chicken al a Foresty Forest recipe and the van building update.
Oh well. You know, Sartre says, that "one always die too soon, or too late." Never on time :) RIP Crockpot. Good to see you back on the trails, Foresty. Cheers from Bulgaria!
I refurbed my crock pot, reattached the heating wires, cleaned up the rust... it worked ok, but in the end, the switch was bad (didn't work in low, only high) and buying another thrift store crock pot for $7 was the easiest fix. I couldn't find a new switch that would fit inside the case. These things are built to a price point, they're all rusty inside once you wash them a few times. That dang one-way nut on the bottom is designed to thwart reassembly too. Anyhow thanks for the memories that will live on in our hearts forever, and the recipes as well! (PS, since you don't have solar, running the big inverter for 80-160W slow cooks may not be the most efficient thing. Pressure cooking will use less energy total (1200w peak, but only intermittently after it heats) You can also saute in the instant pot.
The heating wires worried me a bit. I didn't think they looked possible to clean up. Definitely best to just get a replacement. There are more survivors out there!
Just in time for dinner (in Sweden) forest! :D Perfect timing! There's nothing more wholesome than foresty working on his van and moving aboot! :D EDIT: NOOOOOoooo. So many good memories... RIP our dear friend. :'( EDIT2: That Moutain is just magical! the mast looks like some forgotten castle on the top of the mountain, lost in the blistering cold of the snow... You know where this will end up mate! Awesome work on the video! :D
It could be fixed, but honestly $5-10 will get you another crock pot at the thrift store, often like new. I spent a lot of time getting a few more miles out of mine but $7 later I have a brand new one from Goodwill.
I am a professional chef, and I'm truly impressed by your culinary creativity, using minimal ingredients and equipment. Working in restaurants, I have almost every gadget at my disposal, and pantries full of everything I need. I applaud you. Always travel safe.
They were cloned and luckily I have that exact slow cooker I bought in Alberta. You should be able to source a new one at a store, for sure on eBay, but if you can’t I would be proud to send you mine in cherry condition to an address of your choice.
If you think of all the interest and goodwill that cooker has earned slowly over time, you must realize how many people came on board for the whole package. It seems needless to entirely do away with it. There is room for change and common sense too.
@@br3wsan ah but the true beauty of the crock pot is that it cooks slowly, I've never climbed a snowy mountain in Canada but I can tell you from experience that have a warm delicious meal already cooked when you get home is a beautiful thing. With the instapot he would have to get home and prepare his food when he tired and hungry. Never underestimate how awesome just coming home and eating when you're tired is.
@@grannieannie1371 The instant pot pot has a slow cook option among all those options I mentioned. I have used it on mine many times to come home (back when I used to come home, these days I never leave) to a warm delicious meal.
Makes sense why FF hasn't posted this past week. He was grieving...

The fact that the crockpot meals was the way I found you, it’s such a sad thing to see her go, so many meals I did not think was possible you created in her. RIP to the ForestyForest Crockpot. The flashbacks was the best part
That trip down would have been a good time on some skis
That's a wicked idea. Hike up with some 🎿
I did several of those climbs the skiid down in 15 minuter in Alberta. You get real cold going down but you car is at the end.
Take time to mourn, but apparently Mr. (Ms.?) Crockpot missed Mr. (Ms.?) Old Minivan so much he/she could bear no more to be separated (although I guess technically Minivan is not yet deceased, but nonetheless separated from us...). RIP old friends...
I swear I will someday climb to the summit to the resting place of Crockpot to sign the ledger and pay my respects to the beloved countertop appliance...😢
That mountain top footage on Canoe Mount was breathtaking.
That slow cooker lived a more adventurous life than i ever will
RIP Crockpot. Thoughts and prayers with everyone in the comments today.
We're all here for you FF. Losing such a dear friend is hard. You have my condolences. RIP Slow Cooker.
@Scooter McDingleberry A terrarium seed starter would use the glass lid too. But better to label the glass top with the quart size and model and donate back due to glass lids are always needed for replacements.
@Scooter McDingleberry No no..I just have experience breaking lots of glass lids lol! I liked very the flower pot idea..but the crock has no drainage holes and flower roots would rot. It looks like he has a small lavender plant already and he has tried growing greens.
@Scooter McDingleberry Yes..his technique was a little off...
The crock cooks for angels...I'm gettng misty here
May crocky slowly cook delicious meals in the afterlife. RIP
I plan to make a slow cooker meal tomorrow in honor of crocky RIP
ribs, thai chicken, every FF recipe I've tried has been a winner
12 shot salute to a dedicated warrior, RIP .
RIP good buddy, a hero to many. Hope you're up there cooking wings and ribs for Hendrix and Einstein
A moment of silence for Crock Pot, really like your idea for it's final resting place, and looking forward to what you decide on for the next Cooking unit (NCC 1701A). 😎 The drone footage from the summit, mind blowing sir. Thanks for the Chicken al a Foresty Forest recipe and the van building update.
Imagine the stories that slow cooker could tell. RIP legend.
May the crockpot rest in peace, being one of the few crockpots to have travelled in the Canadian wilderness. You will be missed
I feel like a part of my life has been completed now that we know the story behind the glass thing.
Anyone else crying over the loss of our dear friend? 😭
Can't believe I got choked up about an old (beloved) crockpot.
No, had nothing to do with Crock Pot, I was chopping onions! That's my story and I am sticking to it.😥
Tears steaming. Who'd a thunk it?
Oh well. You know, Sartre says, that "one always die too soon, or too late." Never on time :) RIP Crockpot. Good to see you back on the trails, Foresty. Cheers from Bulgaria!
Rest in peace Crockpot, you may be gone but you will live forever in our hearts.
Likely the first video ever dedicated to a crockpot RIP @crockpotmanufacturers Please send forest a new one
It took him longer to upload because he was grieving
Don’t undersell yourself, you’re at least a semi-pro parking lot carpenter by now.
Love the drone footage, RIP to the slow cooker.
R.I.P. Crocky! Fantastic drone footage!
I refurbed my crock pot, reattached the heating wires, cleaned up the rust... it worked ok, but in the end, the switch was bad (didn't work in low, only high) and buying another thrift store crock pot for $7 was the easiest fix. I couldn't find a new switch that would fit inside the case. These things are built to a price point, they're all rusty inside once you wash them a few times. That dang one-way nut on the bottom is designed to thwart reassembly too. Anyhow thanks for the memories that will live on in our hearts forever, and the recipes as well! (PS, since you don't have solar, running the big inverter for 80-160W slow cooks may not be the most efficient thing. Pressure cooking will use less energy total (1200w peak, but only intermittently after it heats) You can also saute in the instant pot.
The heating wires worried me a bit. I didn't think they looked possible to clean up. Definitely best to just get a replacement. There are more survivors out there!
Just in time for dinner (in Sweden) forest! :D Perfect timing! There's nothing more wholesome than foresty working on his van and moving aboot! :D
EDIT: NOOOOOoooo. So many good memories... RIP our dear friend. :'(
EDIT2: That Moutain is just magical! the mast looks like some forgotten castle on the top of the mountain, lost in the blistering cold of the snow... You know where this will end up mate! Awesome work on the video! :D
Buy a new cable, a sodddering iron and some sand paper so you can get all of that rust out. The pot isn't dead yet, don't give up on it!
Yes
Clear!
That's what I was thinking. How complicated can it be, no circuit board, computer chip in that basic unit.
Id just tape the wires
It could be fixed, but honestly $5-10 will get you another crock pot at the thrift store, often like new. I spent a lot of time getting a few more miles out of mine but $7 later I have a brand new one from Goodwill.
My man forestyforest back after almost 2 weeks. We were missing you, buddy. Glad to see all it well
The feeling about the closed border is mutual. I can't wait to get back in Canada again!
I am a professional chef, and I'm truly impressed by your culinary creativity, using minimal ingredients and equipment. Working in restaurants, I have almost every gadget at my disposal, and pantries full of everything I need. I applaud you. Always travel safe.
They were cloned and luckily I have that exact slow cooker I bought in Alberta. You should be able to source a new one at a store, for sure on eBay, but if you can’t I would be proud to send you mine in cherry condition to an address of your choice.
Slow cooker performed admirably but there's no going back.. Foresty should go Instant Pot like he mentioned.. Opens up so many more options.
If you think of all the interest and goodwill that cooker has earned slowly over time, you must realize how many people came on board for the whole package. It seems needless to entirely do away with it. There is room for change and common sense too.
@@br3wsan ah but the true beauty of the crock pot is that it cooks slowly, I've never climbed a snowy mountain in Canada but I can tell you from experience that have a warm delicious meal already cooked when you get home is a beautiful thing. With the instapot he would have to get home and prepare his food when he tired and hungry. Never underestimate how awesome just coming home and eating when you're tired is.
@@grannieannie1371 The instant pot pot has a slow cook option among all those options I mentioned. I have used it on mine many times to come home (back when I used to come home, these days I never leave) to a warm delicious meal.
There's some beautiful cinematography in these... well done
That time-lapse at the end is a cool idea. My sincere condolences to your loss. ;-)
My condolences for your loss she was always there for you but now she will be a memorial on top of a mountain for all to visit and touch.
Magnificent footage up the mountain👏👏👏
That is terrible Foresty, Cookey hasn't cooled down yet and your talking about replacement?
Best comment!!👍😂
Right in front of her too
You believe this guy?
It isnt PC to assume ones gender. It could be a genderfluid crockpot. for all you know. Jeez
@@thisone. I’m talking about foresty
This is some of the most ethereal and gorgeous footage I've ever seen on RUclips. David Attenborough should narrate your hikes.
But I need to get my fix hearing how Foresty says “Out”!
The Crockpot served us well. It will be missed 😭
Beautiful photography
R.I.P crocky. No other cooking device can RIVAL you.
