I have cancer and suffer from a lot of anxiety, watching your videos actually calms me down sometimes, I guess the scenery you show on your videos and everything just seems so calm and relaxing that it helps me bring down the anxiety a notch or 2, thanks, must be nice to breathe in that fresh air in such nice areas, be safe and god speed. I wish I could donate to your hard work in bringing us these videos but my financial problems due to this horrible disease has really got me living the extreme poor mans life, but know you have a true fan of your work, keep on hiking!!
Yes l agree👍...Sometimes that decision to back off, or to recognize one's capability..is the difference between being Dead or Alive... I always enjoy watching....from Indiana
You have no idea. I got nervous when I didn't see Foresty's new video after a week. I checked a few times a day starting a few days ago. And thought, "I hope that mofo didn't try to go something extreme for viewership!"...
Seeing all those names scroll at the end makes me so happy to know that you’ve got so many people who love what you do, and want to help you keep making awesome content! Keep going my dude, you’re unlike anyone else out there!
I subscribe to as many of them as possible. I’m Cameron from Cameron Lilly’s Honda S2000 Restoration channel. I’m always down to support those who support the great FF. I subbed to you too :)
He has the best channel for this type of content. No one comes remotely close. Everyone's trying to be a TH-cam celebrity, and so fake about it, even when it comes to "roughing it" in the wild. No one's actually out and about exploring. Douchey bros and chicks with makeup looking for views, constantly selling crap. None of that here, and such genuine enthusiasm from viewers. Makes me so heartened to see. I actually evangelize this channel to people I know.
I passed thru the Yukon 2 days ago on my way home to Alaska. Looked high and low for Forestry Forest. To no avail. It would have made the trip much more rewarding to shake the hand that loads the Crockpot. Safe travels Foresty Forest.
My definition of "scrambling": what I do with eggs for a few minutes. Foresty's definition of "scrambling": casually scaling extremely difficult mountains for hours. Cheers for the breathtaking glacial views! 🗻
The impact you have on those of us who have been following all along simply wishing for a small taste of what you experience. Your acute attention to detail, dedication to your craft, and sheer ability to inspire others to do what they love is nothing short of magical. Thanks man. Cheers.
I wish he would put some of those dimension altering mushrooms in the Crock-Pot. It would make for an amazing video! Food for thought Forresty Forest...
Forest get a Toyota Sienna! Mine is 20 years old 200,000 miles everything works! Go down to Arizona and get one no rust. I will put a picture of her up on Strava tomorrow as she is officially 20 years old this month!
Yep. Since I got hooked on Foresty's videos, I've been doing my own research on all this living in a van stuff. Astro and Sienna is about the only choices you got. Thru my research I found Chevy 1500 12 passenger vans also has 4wd but those are V8 like Foresty says...
Wow, just, Wow! The drone footage of the peak was super fantastic. It felt as if I were a hawk soaring high above the world. Any other words fail me. Thank you so much for bringing us along on your adventures. While age and infirmity has reduced my physical ability, my soul is free to be out in our remarkable world. Stay safe, our world needs your vision. Love from Florida, highest elevation = 345 feet (105.16 meters) !
Honestly with all the crap going on in the world, it’s sure is nice to see new vids from you. Looking forward to perhaps a Canada Day vid ? 🇨🇦😊🇨🇦 Stay safe,friend. ❤️✌️
You might already know this trick but if you remove the screen on your fan and set it to blow outside. Turn all the lights off on the van and set a light by the fan. You will suck all the Mossies out before you go to sleep for the night.
I've gotta admit, I've been sitting on my butt working from my living room for the past 3 months and #vanlife is looking better and better every day. At least I get to live the dream vicariously through your vids. The Canadian government should be paying you for all of the tourism you're inspiring!
Authentic Birria will have been made with young goat meat, stewed slow in a spicy red sauce. Served garnished with sour cream and green onions. Good over rice. It really is fabulous done right. Second best is made with beef 😋 thanks much for your awesomely done videos. I discovered them recently and have been binge watching. I travel in the southwest US in my home-built Ram Promaster every winter, mostly boondocking on BLM or Natl Forest. I’m an adventurer at heart and I love to cook too. Your videos have lots to love for me, thanks again!
You too! Ha... I also got hooked on Foresty's videos and TH-cam's algorithm decided I'd like Bob Well's video too! The way you guys look at life and how one should live really triggered something inside...
A cool van that unfortunately already has lots of lookers would be the Toyota van from about 1988. Mid engine, 4wd,4cyl. Extremely reliable and they still produce the engines for fork lifts. They fetch a high price but are pretty awesome. The standard trans version even has a hi/low transfer case.
I think I live the complete opposite life you do (wife, 2 kids, mortgage etc) but when watching your vids I can feel my stress easing. Keep on keepin' on Foresty, from Langley, BC
I watch several channels. Most I watch while doing other things (getting ready for work, cooking, or cleaning). U I always stop and watch it all the way with no distractions. Ur awesome.
Before checking the information below your video, I thought Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein and The 8G Band got together and came up with your new jingle. Nice job Oli and Vic for the catchy Foresty Forest intro jingle!
Honestly, some of these peaks you embark on look intimidating... really sets in my perspective on how relative being afraid/scared is. Keep doing you man, keep safe out there!
If you have never fished before, you really need to read/watch up on fishing videos for the location and type of waters you're fishing.. Its NOT as easy as it looks but once you "figure it out" you cant get enough. It takes a LOT of practice, trial and error, learning, watching, asking, advice, good gear and bait, refined technique, and a little bit of luck. Keep on it, I cant wait to see you start catching instead of just fishing!!!
Am working 12 hr shifts six days a week in brutal heat, the one hour to unwind w 3 beers and a FF video is priceless and motivating. I have been to a couple alternate dimensions, not the worst thing to put under your belt whilst traveling.
If every subscriber gave $1 you would have $175,000 and plenty to imrpove your van. Maybe even that upgrade you are talking about. Very nice to see everyone support you. You really make it enjoyable and different from all the yuppies building vans as if they actually live in them.
Foresty I hear you saying "I want to live in a 4runner"! You just described 4runner life, which I can attest is awesome! I spent part of the last 3 years living in my 4runner with my sled dog and it was absolutely the best life ever. There's nothing like a 4 wheel drive bedroom. And in the rain, you can open the rear hatch, cook and eat inside, enjoy the view, and not get rain inside. It's smaller than a minivan but it's worth it. I think you are the only other person I know of who would actually use a 4runner to its true potential.
Foresty Forest, he lives in a van Foresty Forest.... Foresty Forest, he lives in a van Foresty Forest.... Foresty Forest, he lives in a van Foresty Forest....
Hi Foresty...good to see the new video. That soft-shell taco looked delicious and you did it justice. Gorgeous pictures from up the mountain. I never care if you don't reach the top, the main point is, you tried. Thanks for taking me along. Merry Ann from Minnesota
That drone footage of the peak is stunning!! Keep up these videos Foresty. They give me inspiration for when I am done nursing school. I can’t wait to get out and smash my own peaks.
Small tip, when in the car and swarmed with mosquitoes if you can then put the ventilation/AC on full blast with air intake from the outside and open the rear hatch window... if you can. Allows for airflow to guide them out, but if they don't once at or above 45 mph them open two side view windows for a bit. Essentially flushes them all out by force of air pressure alone.(sans a few random miscreants.)
A bear’s sense of smell is so acute that they can detect animal carcasses upwind and from a distance of 20 miles away. He (or she) no doubt smelled your crock pot!
Forestry, your summit scenery is beyond beautiful. It must be mind blowing to be able to sit amongst such raw space that can only really be seen from a higher perspective. Thank you for bringing the mountain tops to us as most of can only dream of doing what you do.
Just like when I watch cooking videos on You Tube, I always make sure I have a plate of food when I start a Foresty Forest video because hes always making something that makes me hungry.
1. You are braver than I. I would never even think of trying wind mushrooms. 2. I like bears better when they are on video or in zoos. 3. I had to wince when your van ran over the camera. 4. Some of those mountain peaks remind me of the Alps. I wouldn't blame you for not climbing them. Much too dangerous. 5. Great video!
Canada’s Tourism Agency ought to sponsor this channel 🇨🇦
Think they would be opposed to teaching people how to have an awesome time on little money? Foresty is living the dream!
I don’t want to enter mosquito territory or sub freezing cold making Canada tricky to camp in, but not impossible.
Who else is eagerly waiting for Forest's first catch!
It looks like it's going to be a long wait.
Me
Been waiting
Me! 🙋🏼♀️
Yesss
The bear was like “oh shit, it’s Foresty Forest” turns around and pretends like he was just heading the wrong way 😅😅😅
He heard he was getting a bigger crock pot!
@@logoseven3365 😂
I know, that was so funny 😂
Whoa. Thanks for all the likes everyone. This is my most liked comment, ever!
Whatever network that decides to give Foresty his own show will strike gold.
Good guy Mr. Foresty. He loves the environment so much that he refuses to endanger a single trout despite countless attempts spanning numerous videos.
I have cancer and suffer from a lot of anxiety, watching your videos actually calms me down sometimes, I guess the scenery you show on your videos and everything just seems so calm and relaxing that it helps me bring down the anxiety a notch or 2, thanks, must be nice to breathe in that fresh air in such nice areas, be safe and god speed.

“Looks like we’re going to need a bigger crockpot”. Immortal words of Foresty Forest.
Bigger crockpot means a bigger boat!
Last known words of Foresty Forest and once again the slow cooker isn't talking.
Only thing missing is some crock pot grub.
You deserve praise for knowing when to call it a day rather than possibly putting yourself at risk whilst doing this alone.
Yes l agree👍...Sometimes that decision to back off, or to recognize one's capability..is the difference between being Dead or Alive... I always enjoy watching....from Indiana
It helps that he's basically on no time limit. If he wants to do anything again he can just do it another day
Starting a summit attempt at 11:00AM is an almost guaranteed way to fail.
But if anyone can pull it off it’s that tough ol’ Foresty Forest!
You have no idea. I got nervous when I didn't see Foresty's new video after a week. I checked a few times a day starting a few days ago. And thought, "I hope that mofo didn't try to go something extreme for viewership!"...
@@fearsomebunny That very idea has been going through my mind. Who would know why the weekly vid never appeared.
Stay safe Forestry.
Foresty Forest, he lives in a van
Sounds like an English football chant when written!
BryanttieAD it does indeed
"Foresty Forest, he lives in a van"
See him on TH-cam and watch when I can
FORESTY FOREST.
I swear it sounds like the opening of a Saturday Night Live sketch. Or since he's Canadian, KITH or SCTV at least.
Beautiful Canadians mountains with foresty forest
That bear 🐻 was massive. Foresty is a legend.. wish I was as independent and chilled as him
You’re definitely going to end up with your own show on the Discovery Channel at some point, Foresty...
I hope not. His channel is real and he's in control.
A signature tune for heaven's sake. Da boy gone Hollywood.
🙃
I like it, it sounds like a 1970s Saturday morning tv jingle for a hand drawn show about his magical forest adventures.
i cant stop singing it! tooo coool!

You are already "living in an alternate dimension" No mushrooms needed.
That bear saw you and was like... not today!
Unlike the pigeons and squirrels of downtown Toronto that are looking to jack you up EVERY day. Tread carefully my friend!
haha Forest is too lean for a good meal
@@TheDennzio maybe next season 😅
we love you casey

Perfect in every way 🌞🌿💙🌱
I wish he would put some of those dimension altering mushrooms in the
Crock-Pot. It would make for an amazing video! Food for thought Forresty Forest...
Acceptable on a lighter note. But seriously, you are on a lonely journey, stay very-very careful about your health.
From van life to trip report
What is wrong with you?
Who else wants Foresty to do an AMA when he hits 200k followers? Cause we all know he’s going to!
Forest get a Toyota Sienna! Mine is 20 years old 200,000 miles everything works! Go down to Arizona and get one no rust. I will put a picture of her up on Strava tomorrow as she is officially 20 years old this month!
Yep. Since I got hooked on Foresty's videos, I've been doing my own research on all this living in a van stuff. Astro and Sienna is about the only choices you got. Thru my research I found Chevy 1500 12 passenger vans also has 4wd but those are V8 like Foresty says...
@@fearsomebunny He should get a van with good fuel economy. None of those old chevys and Fords have that.
I really like the intro song.
That's what I was thinking! The Foresty Forest Theme.
I feel it needs an intro animation to go with it. Kind of like a childrens cartoon style. It has that feel to it.
FairysHuff YES! I can totally see that!
It made me laugh! It was so random 😂😁 he should keep them in though!!
4:14 The bear went back to foraging mushrooms when he noticed Foresty was watching him.
Best intro. I give you 10/10
Foresty Forest.. he lives in a van... Foresty Forest
Yes he does
well duh
Wow, just, Wow! The drone footage of the peak was super fantastic. It felt as if I were a hawk soaring high above the world. Any other words fail me.

Yeah he doesn't have to worry out there
Amen, no sheeple out there
I think Foraging Forrest has a better ring to it. Plus, extra points for knowing how delicious chicken skin is.
Yep, twice, in the back. It was a real mess. 🤷♂️😂
2nd channel maybe
So extreme..yet so chill-
That grizzly had some pretty impressive can openers on his paws careful he doesn’t use them on your van Foresty
You might already know this trick but if you remove the screen on your fan and set it to blow outside. Turn all the lights off on the van and set a light by the fan. You will suck all the Mossies out before you go to sleep for the night.

That intro music 😂 I love it
I swear the patron list is getting longer by each vid. Well done dude
Watching Foresty Forest takes me to "another dimension" (natural high)!
He's picking mushrooms.
Is he going to turn his van into a psychedelic mystery van?
Zoiks!
Loved the grizzly footage - so funny how he tries to sneak away almost on tiptoes when he realized you were there 😄
I got stuck in that alternate dimension before
Was there for 20years
🤣
@@forestyforest 😆 😆 😆
I just saw the notification for a new video. I literally said out loud “Yessss, finally!”
i'd probably get lost on my way back to the van lol.
I think I live the complete opposite life you do (wife, 2 kids, mortgage etc) but when watching your vids I can feel my stress easing. Keep on keepin' on Foresty, from Langley, BC
Wait what.. That intro Foresty Forest he lives in a van!.. That was awesome👍
During my child days I used to est Morell mushroom raw straight from ground 🤪 now after listening you I feel stomach ache.
And alternate dimension sounds perfect to me!!
Hey there,
Be careful out there in the wild by your self.
A simple walk in the woods is just awesome to.
Great theme song!
I watch several channels. Most I watch while doing other things (getting ready for work, cooking, or cleaning). U I always stop and watch it all the way with no distractions. Ur awesome.

Didn't know much I needed that theme song until I heard it
There it is best intro music on TH-cam
This episode cracked me up. You do ave a sense of humor. I'm glad you kept the crockpot. Good job. Take care. God bless.
Honestly, some of these peaks you embark on look intimidating... really sets in my perspective on how relative being afraid/scared is. Keep doing you man, keep safe out there!
Forestry forest travels alternate dimensions sounds interesting
Well done, the patreon credit is almost a minute and 30 long
The mushrooms that make you go into an alternate dimension are the best ones though.
Ok, that footage of the underside of the van going over was excellent.
Only a man would 😂
Hey, I liked it too.
"You could get really really sick or end up in an alternate dimension" xD made me laugh. love the content bro!
Lol you definitely don’t wanna end up in an alternate dimension 😂
Trust me.... it's nooooice!!!!😉
...or maybe ya do?
I don't know about anyone else, but 2020 so far makes me think the whole world is in an alternate dimension
Not in a car at least
Just stopping in to remind everyone that Foresty is a god.
Stay safe man, much love!
WOW looks you want to meet up
@@alicewhitelhpw7517 hes never met a canadian before clearly 😂
Alice White what
If you have never fished before, you really need to read/watch up on fishing videos for the location and type of waters you're fishing.. Its NOT as easy as it looks but once you "figure it out" you cant get enough. It takes a LOT of practice, trial and error, learning, watching, asking, advice, good gear and bait, refined technique, and a little bit of luck. Keep on it, I cant wait to see you start catching instead of just fishing!!!
You've been talking a lot recently about a new build, and just letting you know that I am totally down with watching that!
Oh wow awesome! The bear 🐻 thinking "oh crap, he saw me.."
It’s crazy how you’ve never come across a morel with all your travels, but I guess they have more of an eastern range. Loving the videos. Stay safe!
Here in the Blue Ridge Mountains we call them "dry land fish"
Big business in the North West Territories.
Grizzly bear sighting ... the only laxative I would ever need.
Waiting for the day you catch something lol that would be finally cool to see
I love that bit where you chop the vegetables and open the can. It's so reminiscent of stop-motion.
I want some of them "alternate dimension" morel mushrooms.
They can do permanent damage to your brain. Go ahead...
Am working 12 hr shifts six days a week in brutal heat, the one hour to unwind w 3 beers and a FF video is priceless and motivating. I have been to a couple alternate dimensions, not the worst thing to put under your belt whilst traveling.
Going to leave the bear spray here. Might be up there for top regretful last words.
If every subscriber gave $1 you would have $175,000 and plenty to imrpove your van. Maybe even that upgrade you are talking about. Very nice to see everyone support you. You really make it enjoyable and different from all the yuppies building vans as if they actually live in them.
Morels??? What?! Reminds me of when Elsa Rhae and Barron went foraging for morels.
It would be fun to see them run into each other! or do a show together!
the effort some of these shots take is crazy, but so awesome
Isn’t it crazy that in a short while we will be saying “remember when he didn’t have a million subscribers? “
Foresty I hear you saying "I want to live in a 4runner"! You just described 4runner life, which I can attest is awesome! I spent part of the last 3 years living in my 4runner with my sled dog and it was absolutely the best life ever. There's nothing like a 4 wheel drive bedroom. And in the rain, you can open the rear hatch, cook and eat inside, enjoy the view, and not get rain inside. It's smaller than a minivan but it's worth it. I think you are the only other person I know of who would actually use a 4runner to its true potential.

I think that was my friend's mom.
But the bear was still like nope see ya! Humans are the ones to really fear
Boy. Now that was awesome. Nice bear too. Thanks for the video. Take care and stay safe, Al
Thanks Al 🙂
you don’t need a intro, your no nonsense video is refreshing enough.
I agree no B roll needed FF
This channel brings me joy🤗
Yeah me too
Me three
that was a big bear
Grizly judgin by its hump on back,
Dont want to surprise such beast unexpectedly
Looks healthy
That drone footage of the peak is stunning!! Keep up these videos Foresty. They give me inspiration for when I am done nursing school. I can’t wait to get out and smash my own peaks.
That intro tho. I like it

Looove the intro foresty forest... haven't even watched yet and I'm here...💪💪💪and first to comment...💪💪💪💪
nice man those are extreme high quality mushrooms. We have them here in Michigan. Simply fry in butter, delicious!
Morels. Mmmmmmmm.
If you only knew the level of jealousy at this moment...
Just like when I watch cooking videos on You Tube, I always make sure I have a plate of food when I start a Foresty Forest video because hes always making something that makes me hungry.
We ways fried Morrells up in butter in a pan. Fresh Morrells are so good.
1. You are braver than I. I would never even think of trying wind mushrooms. 2. I like bears better when they are on video or in zoos. 3. I had to wince when your van ran over the camera. 4.

If the bear attacks, just throw some ribs at it.
I love seeing these video's. At 72 I can't see these wild places anymore. Through your journeys helps.
