    I'm watching and thinking, "Ok, Forest is climbing this cliff to the summit AND he also has the amazing skills to film it so beautifully simultaneously!" I've said it before, every video he releases is just such a gift.

    This is AWESOME! growing up in the Rocky Mountains, i had a West Highland White Terrier who i would bring with me on all my adventures. People were always surprised when he'd hike 14ers with me because usually people expect to see a big dog on the trail! Little dogs are so underrated with their ability and joy in being the perfectly sized adventure dog. Thank you for this video... it reminds me of all the times i had with my little adventure terrier ❤
