@@BuckingHorse-Bull lmao i love the idea of a youtuber paying helicopter crews to do aerial shots but its a remote control drone, they arent that expensive to buy anymore
Just a man and his dog, casually climbing a mountain. What incredible views from there. The music added a nice touch too. Thank God for drone technology
Your drone footage captures the immense scale of the landscape more than any others I've seen. I often get a true feeling of breathlessness when watching your footage. Absolutely superb.
Rocko and Foresty living the dream. Every other channel seem to have a commercial push vibe but not here. That is why I enjoy and keep coming back. I googled Girls Mountain and Rocko's there! Along with Foresty.
That switch to drone footage with music on the summit climb was on another level. Love seeing the glacial ribbon tracks and thanks for the extended panorama 🏔️
Simon this post was fantastic. All the elements I love - the drone footage, the meet up, Rocko, and Louie. Hope you have a wonderful stay in that neck of the woods.
That particular area is lawless. It’s always been that way. Ever since the Butcher Baker serial killer buried over 26 bodies there. Just bad luck you stumbled into Jim’s Creek. It’s the first semi-remote area outside of Anchorage and it draws the gangsters.
Hiking, biking, backpacking, paddling, skiing, climbing… you're my favorite vanlife channel because it's loaded with outdoor activities, adventures and quality videoery😁 some other vanlife channels just drive alot and talk alot🗣
Just got back from a week in the mountains. Every time we saw a big white van my kids (ages 2-12) busted out the “forestry forest he lives in a van” song. You know, only about a couple hundred times a day.
Your drone cinematography above the summit is spectacular! It would be great to see a compilation of your favourite 5 summits with just your drone footage.
I don’t know if there’s anyone who always brings the most spectacular shots then you Foresty! Tell me if there’s a happier dog in this world then Rocco, your channel has progressed into an incredible vision of earth!
I thought finding dispersed camping sites was pretty tough in Alaska too, especially compared to Colorado and Utah, where I usually camp. What made it especially hard was having no cell service most of the time to check iOverlander.
Glorious views from the top... and the piano just melds so well...almost haunting and some how heartbreaking.... yet reminds me of the sheer beauty of the natural world..Thank you again for your work, Foresty
Girls is a pretty popular ski route but in general the entire Thompson Pass area is under hyped (I like it that way) despite being a world class ski/recreation area. There is a lifetime of exploration, skiing, and ice caves just off the road. Can’t wait to get back there this winter. I’m sorry you had such poor experiences with trash and camping so far in Alaska, that area is known for Tom-foolery and does not represent the majority of Alaskans. I’d definitely recommend you head to McCarthy and do a few day walk out toward Root Glacier and Blackburn. If you ever wander back to Anchorage I have a driveway you’re free to park; my kids and I saw you cruising around town a couple of days but didn’t want to spook you or Rocco so we played it cool and kept moseying.
Not much room in Anchorage. It’s crammed between JBER, the Chugach and the ocean. It has a huge homeless problem, too. So, people are concerned about parking. Once a person parks for a night or two, it soon becomes a new homeless camp.
LOVE YOU SIMON ❤ THANK You for Being such an AMAZINGLY Person & making the WORLD A BETTER PLACE for us ALL❣ You are CHERISHED, IMPORTANT & ESSENTIAL 💯 ✌🏽🙏🇨🇦
I am wow struck with the views from the summit! If it weren’t for you taking the hike, we would have never seen such beauty! Thank you Foresty for sharing awesome scenery that we normally would not see otherwise. Love you for it.🙏🏻🥰
Freedom is owning property that is within your means. What do van lifers do that make it financially? They buy property. My husband built roads and developed property for many years in Alaska. Including our own. At 65 he could retire in Interior Alaska on our homestead with zero monthly payments and no property taxes. There is a senior exemption on property taxes. We don't have to drive anywhere to hike, ski, ride ATV's and snowmobiles. etc. We disable the keys, no point in having them. My husband made his own trails, it's legal here. It took 14 years before he saw another person out back of our place. I have been here 16 years and have seen one person, one time on our trails. It was our closest neighbor. We give permission to cross our land to get to the wilderness out back. More than 50 million acres of it. You have to stay in shape, it's serious business being ten or twelve miles out at 30 below zero and your machine breaks down. The farthest he has had to hike back is 22 miles in the snow. Just six miles for me. But I was 8 months pregnant and it was indeed 30 below zero.
My mind was blown; great content.Everything is just expansive and large graphic and untouched. Thank you for being trustworthy and honest. Beautiful video and very real. There are still unknown mysteries in this world. Thank you for showing a part of it
1. Love Rocko's "joy jumps"!! 2. Thank you for taking us to the mountains - my favorite Lord of the Rings quote "I want to see mountains, Gandalf." Thank you!
I'm sorry Louie is having trouble with her jeep. I hope it isn't going to cost her a fortune. So strange to see Bob Wells crossing paths with you guys up there in AK. The drone footage was spectacular. I get dizzy when you take us over the edge. Such a shame to see all that trash and debris out there in the beautiful natural wilderness. It must have been really hard not to dive in and clean that up, knowing how you are. You're a good caretaker of the earth and God appreciates it. I know He smiles down on you. ❤🕊
"Don't cry, dear! Of course, you ain't prostitute. You are the loyal wife of nameless trinity of the Husband." Here is Christ's question, Mathew 15: 3: "But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?" Malachi 2: 1-4: "And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith Jehovah of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and ye shall be taken away with it. And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant may be with Levi, saith Jehovah of hosts." (ASV) A women say "the Husband has no name". Another ones say "the Husband has many names". Some of women "love the Husband in all his manifestations" like: neighbour, taxi driver, coworker, and so forth. Some women in a Husband-fearing way call him "H-D"... But, all of those prostitutes say "the Husband is the only". Their prostitution has created another women saying "there is no Husband at all". Then they even talk about "trinity of the Husband" and they are not against "the Son taking the Husband's place". In the same way religious prostitutes try to hide their disgusting fornication with different gods. Furthermore, a correct pronunciation of the Name is unknown now. This is the “loyalty” of traitors! Here is the God's word spoken through Moses, Deuteronomy 11: 16-17: "Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you." So, the God says there are other gods, but blind leaders of blind lead people into trap. Names of an idols/false gods are well known: Zeus, Rempha/Chiun, Aurora, Baal, Moloch and many others. "Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation". This is the name of Christ real christians are hated for. "HalleluJah" means "Praze Jah" (Jehovah). Psalm 83: 18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." (KJV) The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why liers feel so good while righteous people are persecuted. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. He has anointed the king, Jesus Christ. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
Thanks for the shout out my friend! I’m thinking we should have followed you out towards Valdez. Girls looked like a perfect climb. I think Meg would have stripped that entire field of berries to make a delicious pie. Safe travels!
The sequence of aerial shots starting at 8:23 are among the best drone photography i've seen. That initial side-view of you hiking in the bottom of the frame provided the perfect reference to demonstrate the grandeur of the mountain ranges filling the rest of the screen. Beautiful shot!
Rocko’s leaps and such beautiful cinematography ❤❤❤❤
idk how foresty does it but im sure most of his capitol goes to the helicopter shots he does in the videos. regardless money well spent
@@BuckingHorse-Bull drone shots
Haha, like a tiny Mule Deer!
@@BuckingHorse-Bull lmao i love the idea of a youtuber paying helicopter crews to do aerial shots but its a remote control drone, they arent that expensive to buy anymore
The pictures this time are unreal. A dreamscape. Thanks for taking me mountain climbing Foresty!
I agree! This time was particularly stunning.
Absolutely stunning ❤
Yeah! Mindblowing scenery in this area!
idk how foresty does it but im sure most of his capitol goes to the helicopter shots he does in the videos. regardless money well spent

😂🤣😆
“Want to go for a walk?” has a bit different meaning than when most people say it to there dog! 😂😂❤

Lol. It's all drone shots... Not helicopter. I love all that footage too. @@BuckingHorse-Bull
@@BuckingHorse-Bull LOL he has a helicopter he keeps on top of his van
I love the piano with the aerial views
Truly relaxing. I don't know much about the sources for the background music, but am pleased that it's an option.
This is by far the best van life channel on you tube!...
I have to agree, yes. I am surprised that it took me that long to find it.
Rocko's grass hops had me laughing out loud!!
Rocko and Foresty living the dream. Every other channel seem to have a commercial push vibe but not here. That is why I enjoy and keep coming back. I googled Girls Mountain and Rocko's there! Along with Foresty.
Me too! Seeing Rocco was precious!
Keeping it down to earth!
Rocko prancing through alpine meadows is heart warming. ❤
I love Rocko! 🐕 ❤ 🥰
Love from Taiwan. Thanks for your latest episode. What a spectacular view.
Thanks again 🙂🙂🙂
Rockos jump and fly routines are the best
I think this is my favorite aerial shots. So beautiful FF. Rocko hopping like a bunny is just precious. Take care.
The MAN The MYTH The LEGEND!!!
So great to be able to fly the drone and let us really drink in that scenery. Ha! scenery is such an inadequate word. It's sublime.
That switch to drone footage with music on the summit climb was on another level. Love seeing the glacial ribbon tracks and thanks for the extended panorama 🏔️
The sounds of that gentle rain hitting the metal roof of the van was just perfection
Thank you for all the vicarious adventures and your willingness to expose some of your true self to your audience.
Thanks!
Thanks 🍻

it for granted.

Thanks Simon! Missed you brother. Sorry I got busy with a shed build, work, and kid life! Hope this little bit helps!
Thank you Jeremy, hope you're having a good summer!
Man - sometimes i just don’t get people. How can you just leave trash behind like this! Enjoy yourself - like watching your channel 👍
Immigrant probably
Alaska has a lot of ignorant lowlifes. Very high crime rate and a lot of drunks.
That particular area is lawless. It’s always been that way. Ever since the Butcher Baker serial killer buried over 26 bodies there. Just bad luck you stumbled into Jim’s Creek. It’s the first semi-remote area outside of Anchorage and it draws the gangsters.

I like how u asked Rocco if she wanted to go for a “walk”. Her “walks” are way more adventurous then most other dogs are.
I hope you find your freedom soon, Foresty!
Beautiful drone footage. Wow, Rocko really had the zoomies !
Wow my night just got a whole lot better! Thanks FF and Rocko!
Nice shot of the water, very cool to see it not mixing.

I know I'm not the only one who occasionally sheds a tear watching Simon's uploads 😊
Right? The places he goes are truly surreal.
I have to say all that trash made me cry. I'm happy you took me to the top of the mountain. Thanks. Hugs to Rocko.

Gotta be the most fullfilled Jack Russell EVER !!!
Your freedom is on top of the mountain!

Rocko is the only one with true freedom. The freedom to pee on a mountain at 7:40. Good doggo.
Man that’s what I call getting close to god. Awesome stuff
omg. Jaw dropping beautiful vistas. Thank you for summiting Girls.
Glad you are showing off Alaska, the scenery is amazing. Thanks for the pointers on the difficulty in finding overnight spots. Bob Wells!!!
Not much room in Anchorage. It’s crammed between JBER, the Chugach and the ocean. It has a huge homeless problem, too. So, people are concerned about parking. Once a person parks for a night or two, it soon becomes a new homeless camp.
So sad the homeless problem is both every where and growing.
Great story telling and the best drone work on TH-cam. Thank you.

How nice to have your latest episode on. ❤
Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you for taking the time to do what you do, Foresty. Your videos are an appreciated escape from the day to day monotony.

Nature said, "sweet Simon come and enjoy the view."
Thanks for the extended aerials, tis beautiful.
Look a little Rocko run! Boing, boing, boing! Adorable. 😁
Great drone work. A pleasant diversion after a stressful day.
Great to see the van still going strong. Loved the views from the girls Mt. Just so majestic. I think Rocko enjoyed the hike as well.
Excellent drone footage!

Your “wonder what is up this mountain “ vids are better than any planned hikes I’ve seen! Thanks for bringing us along!
"These aren't the best conditions..." Meanwhile, Rocko is just sprinting up and down the loose rock face, "Not a clue what you mean."
Beautiful camera work as always. What a wonderful perspective the summit had.
Thank you for the drone shots of the spectacular mountains and glaciers. Loved watching Rocko skip across the meadows and snow.
Got a sense of awe and wonder seeing little FF atop the mountain. Beautiful scenery. I wouldn't want to come down either.
The Rocko shots were especially entertaining in this video 🐶
Always a pleasure to view your videos. I usually watch them several times. You have great adventures.
Amazing drone footage from the summit. Just never get tired of that kind of scenery
