    Forestry, I don’t comment often, but I do occasionally need to pop in just to say “THANK YOU.” Your gifts as a cinematographer are beyond comprehension and, particularly since you shared the video documenting your struggles to do the storytelling & narration up to your own standard of excellence, I am PROFOUNDLY appreciative that you are willing to pay the tremendous price it costs you to produce such stunning and enjoyable videos for us. And thanks, on behalf of the Earth and your fellow hikers & campers, for all the cleanup & path-clearing you do. We are a better human community because you are such a generous, talented, and thoughtful part of us. Again, THANK YOU.🤗🌹

    Great job fella, Big Congratulations! Just to let you know, the thing I liked best about this milestone was you putting Rocko's wellbeing first and letting her stay safe and warm in the van. It goes to show the good human you are, and it is appreciated by others. And as far as the little mishaps or mistakes you might make, remember most folks will never do a fraction of what you have already done, the might not make "so called" mistakes, and they will not have a fraction of the enjoyment you have in life. Take care, and to the next 200!

    The things I loved about this video was Foresty having a friend to share an adventure. What was fun to watch was Loui's "I can do anything in my Jeep" attitude and Foresty sort of standing back like the wise old man of adventures not saying but thinking "Go ahead young one, let's see you do it." Foresty finally having to pull Loui out of the mud sort of completed the picture. Living in Florida now, this video sort of made me miss snow... and then I came to my senses. Haha

    You always do a really great job, and consistently bring us lots of entertainment and beautiful scenery.
    You're right, don't read them. They just don't deserve the attention if all they are doing is bringing you down.
    Keep up with the awesome work, you deserve all the best!

I try to tell my husband at night what I saw that day and he thinks I'm crazy but I find it relaxing. Keep going Forrest. You have hit a good niche.

    I've been reading Matthew Henson's autobiography of his possibly being first to reach the North Pole with Robert Peary's expeditions so it's interesting to see the approach to the Arctic as it is now. It is cold on a whole other level than I can imagine, but your videos affirm his account of the magnificent beauty and desolation of the far north.

    It's so nice that you get to go some extra, new and different places traveling with someone. Having you there with the winch is a game changer, so much can go wrong in a second and some of the areas id be quite scared to get stuck. It's not like central or costal bc where you can post in a 4x4 recovery group and a team of guys would come save you worse case.
