Even without the crisp HD content, these videos are still great distractors from the toxic overflow in the world right now.
    Sending lots of positive vibes your way man! Thanks for continuously creating & entertaining us folks behind the screens!
    Cheers brother!

Sometimes i will take the husk off and grill it for a minute over the open flame without the husk. Learned it from the annual carnival that goes through my province of Ontario.

      Not really true. Generally new fluid helps. The power flushes could be considered questionable but if you either drop the pan or splice into the cooler lines and let the pump do the work there is NO reason to be concerned with trans service.

    Foresty , you have to keep the van after getting that lengthy warranty on the tranny. Plus look at all the places it's taken you. I subscribed when you went to Inuvik and Tuk and said to myself , what's he doing , with a 2 wheel drive going up there. I lived in the Yukon in 75 , 76 , 77 for 2 years , and drove up the Dempster Hwy. caribou hunting. We could only go as far as the Eagle River as the army was just putting in a Bailey bridge there. The roads were quite different when you went , but still , you can run into a blizzard or whatever. I give you so much credit for the places you went in the Yukon and giving us the beautiful scenery. Also this video was great. Keep going Foresty from Winnipeg.

    I enjoyed the views from the mountain top, the music with the drone footage, and that burger looks GREAT! I am a new subscriber, but have watched enough of your videos to admire your humble style and your brave hikes to mountain tops. I especially like how you fly the drones around the mountain tops, and show us what you see from there, places most of us will never see otherwise (or in person).

    in a year or two when you get ready to move on to a 4 wheel drive van with room for two, i bet you will be able to sell this one on ebay to some fan who'll pay twice what you've spent on buying, building and replacing the transmission, just because they are such big fans. peolpe pay crazy prices for memorabilia from famous people, LOL

    It was a #5 hit back in 1975 on the U.S. Billboard. It went like this:
    She's gonna love me in my Chevy van and that's all right with me.
    I remember those years, "Chevy Boogie Vans" were the best of the best in town.
    Forget the Toy Sienna, hang on to the Chevy and Boogie on down the river.

Wish you the best on the phone recovery. Guess we need to get you a phone tether for Christmas 🎄. And please consider getting two phones, one for us and one for your life. We worry that’s all... Thanks for a day trip with Forest, we even had dinner. You slay me with your gourmet burger, it’s the only way. Maybe we can make a hermit commune one day. 🤣😂

    To me this was one of your better videos! Odd that you were apologetic about it. I watch the videos on my phone and I don’t notice any quality issues, sound was good and this video had it all: a story about your van, a hike, a drone, a story about finding your phone and a food story... all good. Stories are the currency of entertainment. Oh and I’m glad you kept your van.. no brainer to me.. it’s one of the things that makes you unique

    Dude, no need to apologize for the video quality. For one, the quality is fine. Also, the 'reality' theme of your videos and journey is a big part of what makes your videos great! Losing your phone sucks but it is a part of it all.
