I nominate Foresty Forest for the best van life channel out there. Noone else is getting the shots he is. You deserve it all, man. The prize should be a new rig with all the offroad mods.
I think there's something to be said for Forrest's van vs. something like a shiny off-road rig, it's all about blending these days when you gotta go into public with the new fascist laws in America, enabling cities to arrest fentanyl casualties and high tech, resourceful van lifers alike.
Don't get me wrong, I love Simon's vids, but try Living the Van Life, he gets amazing footage. Destination Adventure does too. Forestry is my fave of the 3 but LTVL has the best cinematography I've ever seen.
@@JustGoAndFlytotally agree. I was a traveller in the UK for 10 plus years from the 80s to the 90s - they hated us too 😂 We had to be stealth and know where the wild bits are, there's quite a lot here if you know where to look. There's definitely a sweet spot between the old jalopy and the hi-tech rig, and I recon Foresty is about as near as you get. Trouble is as you pass a certain age you need to be able to stand upright inside 😂
Rocko is the absolute PERFECT companion for all of Simon's adventures! I love her "bonus feature" of showing @ForestyForest where he dropped things or left them off as well. Her utter joy at wrestling rocks in water is just the coolest / funniest thing ever.
He avoids bad decisions that could lead to dangerous outcomes and cleans up trails and campsites. Gotta have love for someone who is a positive role model for the outdoors.
My wife Alice commented that Foresty is a very spiritual person even though he never really talks much about philosophy or religious beliefs. He lives the life of a modern day mystic! We, in my opinion, enjoy the view of the world from Simon and Rocko's perspective. As all have commented, he has a wonderful artistic vision that lends itself to RUclips. Thanks for being you Foresty!
I LOVED this one, except I wish it was an hour long! There’s nothing much better than exploring a new road and how glorious when there’s no one else around. So beautiful!!!
Simon, your productions are a salve to me for the negativity and hatemongering here in the U.S. Watching Rocko and you interact in your warm, cozy space, insulated from the rest of the world does my soul good. Thank you, sir!
The mountains so free of every day strife where the air is so fresh and my dream of peace is found in an endless view of mountain tops so beautiful to behold and the surrounding quietness restores my soul. I cannot climb or hike those days are long gone by but I can still experience all their grandeur because of a man who buried his comfort zone and took up his camera and invited us along. “Everybody needs beauty...places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul alike.” ― John Muir
@@NancyHanson3472 mine, too. John Muir would have loved Foresty Forest and can only imagine what it would be like sharing in some of their adventures together.
Enjoyed the views, the dry sense of humor (unabomber resemblance!), the soup that looked more like a stew, and Rocko's pleasure at finding perches all over the van. Thanks!
Hey Foresty I was thinking it’d be nice to have a vlog that focused on your decision making process in regards to Rocko’s safety and comfort when you’re on a mountain climb. Such as when is it time to put her in the bike basket, into your jacket or on to lead, is it safe for her to climb freely up steep slopes and near cliffs and when is it time to reign in her exploration , when is it too c9ld etc
I love Foresty's unassuming manner. His footage is awesome. Rocco is amazing. He is tied with Christian for my favorite Van life channel, but that's because she is so photogenic! :)
The entire post is world class photography, mazel tov and Thank You for taking us along....the stove/fireplace in your van and Rocko and the scenery make me a lifetime viewer!
Loving the aerial shots and editing of this video. No idea how long it takes to make this video but I really enjoyed it 😊. Great to see Rocco living the best life a dog can have ❤
I'm waiting for the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hr Fore-resty Forest adventure trekking video to surprise me one day. That way I can play it and bask in all its glory for a longer period of time. Sort of like the good ole days of long bike travels. But I'll truly appreciate anything from this gentle kind outdoorsman... until the next one, travel on !!
Yes, that would be awesome. The only problem for him might be that it would probably take a lot more time to film and edit such a long video. But if it did really well and got a massive number of views compared to the shorter ones, then it would definitely be worth the extra work.
Hey Foresty, my 3 year old somehow started this video on our Google Nest. I've never really thought about it before but your channel is entirely kid friendly. Add another reason to why you're one of my favorite youtubers!
@@forestyforest I’ve been following you for a couple of years now mate. I absolutely admire what you do!! I’m jealous in fact. We’ve got loads of beautiful countryside mountains in Britain too. Is your dog miniature jack Russell??
Sometimes Foresty blesses us with that raw, uncut van steeze. It's like he knows the streets is fiending, so he hits the block with that 100% pure product.
9:15 A cross over with the Why Files! The Canadian mountain landscape is amazing to see. The forests are so green and piney. The red colour in the Aurora Borealis is due to excited oxygen molecules. Nitrogen molecules give the more common green colour.
I’m in the process of driving from NJ to NV and then immediately turning around and going right back to NJ and I decided to leave my Jack Russell, Mary Belle, with my brother so she wouldn’t be stuck in the truck for a week straight, so seeing Rocko’s pretty face is very welcome seeing that I’m missing my little monkey like crazy❤️
I don’t understand 54,000+ views but only 8,000 likes, come on people how can you not like 👍 any of his videos, if I watch a video I always give a 👍 like it’s my way of rewarding the creators efforts
my dog Poppy died last night, she was ran over. Yep she was a needy dog but she had a loving, caring personality. Me, my brother and my mum are in disbelief right now. Dogs are better than humans. I rubbed her belly when I woke up in the middle of the night. I hugged her and kissed her when I brought her into my bed. Its so sad, she was only 10, fit and healthy. we thought she was in min pin. If you have a dog please do your best. right now I am feeling guilty as at times I got frustrated with her being needy, but I never hurt her. I loved her. she loves your channel and she loves Rocko
Sorry to hear about your dog. I have had several pets pass away through the years. It has been hard every time. Hopefully, you will be reunited some day. I firmly believe that this will happen. 😢 🕊
I'm so glad the van is doing so great for you - my Trailblazer is doing everything in its power to stop working so we're leaving chevy for now- glad to see you're sticking around!
I just can't fathom that you can drive 226 miles on a road where there is just nothing. In a 226 mile drive from my home I can literally do four countries
DAMN dude, the views were absolutely incredible in this episode. Everything looks so moody and gorgeous. The bright golds and deep browns. Thanks much for that tasty drone footage, crazy beautiful area!
Rocko is so awesome on the road. She took off when you stopped at that cabin it was like it was home 😂😂. You are so organized and self sufficient. To be able to go up that mountain with your e-bike and get the views is like a dream come true for me. I'm 57 and disabled and can't do these things too easily. Your vlogs are enjoyable especially Rocko!
Good humour ,& exploring the backroads of the Yukon wilderness with Rocco cant get much better than that ! . One can see the excitement in her eyes and posture .Such spectacular scenery, epic videography. love the golden colors looking forward to the next backroad adventure with Rocco and yourself .
Fun video, lots of production edits, haha! I'm gullible. I believed the hot dog for a few seconds. I love how these Yukon mountains hold so much colour in the Fall vs. the AB Rockies!

Unabomber vibes 😂😂
I have a few simple rules in life: I see a new Foresty video, I like it and immediately watch 😎
Ditto
Yeah I am pretty much the same way! 👍😂
We live by the same rules, my friend.
Me too!
Same!
The hot dog bit got me. Love me a good hot dog joke. 10/10
Tube grayling 😂😂
Hilarious...I busted out laughing. Too funny
Laughed my butt off!
I laughed
Me too
I love that Rocco just bounces out of the van and is down for anything no matter what.
Rocko's magic door, every time it opens... she's somewhere new!
Rocko is the absolute PERFECT companion for all of Simon's adventures! I love her "bonus feature" of showing @ForestyForest where he dropped things or left them off as well. Her utter joy at wrestling rocks in water is just the coolest / funniest thing ever.
If we could only live that life.
You can see their bonding is becoming stronger and stronger
Instead of Rocko's Modern life, it's Rocko's off road life. 😂😂
Woodstove season is the best season
So true!
🍻 the wait was worth it haha
Going to have to agree with that 💯
Agree! ❤️
Protect this man at all costs
Thank you Jesus 😊 🙏
The drone footage on my 4k TV is stellar!
@@forestyforestJesus is just alright with me 🙏🏿
@@forestyforestexcellent response 😊
Great video. Always enjoy a new episode. Take care 😊
100 comments in 26 minutes and 100% love. Killing it, dude.
Thank you, I'm lucky to have a great audience!
@@forestyforest You are the best that is why we are here.
He avoids bad decisions that could lead to dangerous outcomes and cleans up trails and campsites. Gotta have love for someone who is a positive role model for the outdoors.
Some of the best videography anywhere.
I like the cool cross fades he did between the drone footage and shots of his camp/van.
I really appreciate the little bit of extra humor you've injected into the last couple of videos. Good stuff 😊
Thank you Brian 😊
I agree. Funny stuff!!
Yes, as in Unabomber Vibes.

To many of us, that's what being spirtual is...not following anyone's religion, philosophy or fictional book. The whole of nature is our "deity".
I LOVED this one, except I wish it was an hour long! There’s nothing much better than exploring a new road and how glorious when there’s no one else around. So beautiful!!!
Thank you! So beautiful up here, and quiet!
Am I the only one who got your Unabomber joke? This vid was full of FF dry humour 😅and such remote stunning landscapes. Awesome
I said the same thing!
His sense of humor cracks me up. I love it. 😆
I got it first try…his best line to date..and best visual imitation..the hoodie and glasses
I’m sure everyone got that joke, it wasn’t difficult to comprehend 🤣 It was hilarious too.
@@river8760 I got it. I loved it.
"Where to do, and what to go." - Simon.
😅
Love it! 😁
Took a second or two for my brain to make sense of what I just heard! 🤣🤣🥰
I noticed it and laughed but I just figured he was looking to get a laugh. If your paying enough attention.
Can’t get over how good of a little dog Rocko has been for you.
Simon, your productions are a salve to me for the negativity and hatemongering here in the U.S. Watching Rocko and you interact in your warm, cozy space, insulated from the rest of the world does my soul good. Thank you, sir!
Amen. 🇨🇦 Fave Canadian RUclipsrs giving us a break from the nonsense down here.
X2 for sure
Every episode I marvel at how much energy Rocko has. Foresty has to have an E-bike to keep up with his E-dog !!
hahaha its the only time I can keep up to her pace.
This was one of my favorite episodes of all time, humor, wit, scenery, travel, van status update, Rocko. Your product is always improving.
Packed with awesome for SURE!
AND he can cook!
Thanks! 🍻
The views, the music, Rocko, are all reasons that I look forward to each upload. Thank you for staying true to yourself!
Got to love a Foresty Forest Rocko adventure.
I love that Simon is watching The Why Files! ❤😊
All the FF views suddenly googling the little people in the Rockies lol. Well except me.
Why Files and Hammerson Peters 🤔
Thanks I needed a Foresty hit right now. 🙏

Foresty + Rocco + 15min vid + eating a good meal = a cozy Friday evening 🙂
Dude you bring a tremendous amount of joy to your faithful subscriber!!! Don’t listen to the negative comments!!!
Enjoyed the views, the dry sense of humor (unabomber resemblance!), the soup that looked more like a stew, and Rocko's pleasure at finding perches all over the van. Thanks!
The Unibomber joke! Am I the only one who got that? Simon's wicked, wicked humor!😂😅

Man what a blessing to tune into your channel on a Friday evening. Cheers to you and your doggo!
Safe travels Forestry and Rocko!
Thank you 😊
Enjoyed this one. That Yukon spot, peeks into your downtime, Rocko livin' her best life on the dash, was a simple and satisfying video. Thank you!
I rush to watch Foresty videos more than any others!
me too
because they are always worth it
I was always wait until i am free to experience it full.
You look like someone living the dream for a lot of people! Run wild as long as you can! Too soon old!
I second that - Tempus don't half Fugit.
I found Rocko while searching Google maps for pass peak 🙂
Haha yup that's her! Thanks for watching Eric... loved your hotspring waterfall video, that's been on my list ever since!
@@forestyforestsounds like it could be coming soon then 🙂 send me a message if you need help with directions
That view just out of the van is breathtaking.
That was great. Fast moving. Lots to see. Rocko is amazing!
Glad I read most of the comments. I was going to say the same thing. Seems new for Foresty
Happy Friday Foresty and Rocco. Best part of a weekend. Thanks for sharing. Jeremy Wade would be proud of that "FISH ON"

Can't ever get enough of your mountain shots! Thanks so much for your amazing, sincere and humble content.
absolutely beautiful scenery bud thanks 😊
YAY! Hello Foresty and Rocko!!
I love when you bust out the wood stove - it means my favorite seasons are beginning. 🧡
"Where to do. What to go" is my new catch phrase.
Absolutely beautiful country there, and such fantastic photography.
Anytime FF attempts fishing, the suspense of his catching a fish, has me on the edge of my seat.
That is some spectacular jaw dropping scenery there Foresty. Thanks for taking us along.
Love it when it gets colder, the woodstove is lit, the food is hardy...
Hope this'll cover a couple cans of Yukon Brewing Wild Forged IPAs. Stay well :)
thank you, cheers!
Love the pic of Rocko on the peak. It’s great you keep posting those.
I love how Rocko bounces out of the van. She is ready to explore! Love the mountain views in this video. Great job, FF!!😊❤

The visuals are stunning!
I watch for Rocko!
I love the haunting quiet of the Yukon.
Loved and appreciated the humor in this!! And everything else too
13:06 Rocco has seen the little people for sure
13:07 - little people haunting the Rockies and Rocko BARKS! hahahahah. Perfect timing.

solid humor there :) and you made a solid choice with Rocko - that is one badass dog.
You need to have a craft brewery brew up a forestry forest signature lager, I'd buy it in a heartbeat....
Love the epic scenery, the great jokes, and edits. Laughed when you stopped the music at the chopping of the axe! Rocko is an awesome companion!
That was SO fun and beautiful!! Thanks Simon and Rocko!! ❤
What an absolutely amazingly beautiful area‼️ Thanks for the ride along. 😊👍
