As an indigenous person from Hazelton B.C. who now lives in Southern Ontario, Foresty catches the beauty of B.C. in a way that seems like I'm back home, right there, where I can literally smell the cedar, campfire smoke, the crisp mountain air that has its own unique scent.......thanks Foresty for bringing Home to me every week 1500+km away! B.❤️C.
As an indigenous person do you mind if I ask what indigenous peoples perception of outsiders, of any stripe, coming to their communities to learn about the indigenous cultures? I am Scottish and live in Scotland, I have an interest in native american culture and history. Though I do worry that I would unintentionally offend or anger people if I were to travel to such communities for the purpose of self education. It may be seen as some nosey foreign tourist. Its hard for me to judge what is right and wrong behaviour in such circumstances. Especially as there is no such thing as a native race here in the UK. The concept is a little alien and hard to mentally grasp.
@@aspielife9323 ---- I am NOT Indigenous in Canada, but I will give a few insights. If you are respectful and considerate, and do not view them as "tourist attractions" I am sure most will not mind, especially if you do not intrude in their daily lives. But be aware the Indigenous People have received a VERY bad situation in Canada since at least the 1800's and there is still a lot of resentment about that among them. There are Indigenous Cultural centers and excellent displays in many museums which is a good place to start, casual conversations if you meet an Indigenous Person in a public place would seem to me to be a good introduction. Tell them you want to hear their point of view. Be aware Indigenous Canadians and other Canadians do NOT consider themselves "American" in any title, Americans are USA Citizens, and the USA Gov't CLEARLY states that, irrespective of any "popular" or official geographical terms. Also, is it possible the Celts are the "British Indigenous People".............. ?
@@davidmarshall718 Thanks for the feedback David. I appreciate it. ^_^ The Celts would have been the indigenous people of the UK in a manner of speaking. I am not an expert but I will give my own half baked knowledge about it none the less. Hahah ^_^ There were indigenous tribes in teh UK but through invasion and migration of surrounding european countries/tribes into the UK and interbreeding they technically don't exist anymore. Though it depends what you mean by Celts. Some people use in interchangably with other peoples in the european continent. Its a very muddied subject. A famous example would be the migration and raids by the vikings into the UK. Thats one tribe of people that would mix with the local populace, now imagine that happening from every tribe across europe... Including the Romans.
That puppy has a crazy amount of energy. She climbs a mountain and still has the energy to play with sticks & snow, cross creeks and do it all again the next day.
@@Capecodham yes, to the point where you feel the need to spam comments with your acidic vitriol and denigrating “girly man” insults. No need to be a jerk about it.
@@Capecodham One doesn't need be elected to be empathetic... When spitting hatred don't be surprised by one person saying "we" because it is in fact recognizable to many people that what's been said was hateful towards dogs and men who differ from a narrow point of view of what a man is. People loving on Rocko does not some how take away from the amazingness that is the rest of this glorious content; Just be happy appreciating what you liked the most instead of getting amped up by others liking something else about the video more. Lifes a lot better for everyone involved when people don't comment negatively about how others enjoy things. Much better to instead appreciate others enjoyment regardless of the part they liked most because its going to turn into money for the channel in one way or another; so more content for you to watch, why complain about that?
Thanks for showing this. I have been on both sides of the timber and wilderness story in the US. Sawmills have fed me and wilderness is part of my soul. I currently work to protect my local roadless and unprotected wild places. There is no free lunch.
The puppy has incredible endurance. What perfect hiking partners! The water crossing looked scarier than it was, I'm sure. I was afraid Rocko would get swept away.
I admire your freedom , love of nature and the outdoors , We are so privileged you share your adventures and knowledge of your backyard/home/where you choose to live. You truly inspire me.
In 1992 they logged behind my cabin, when ever I take guests out on my quads I stop in this area. Today the trees are 30 feet high and it’s nothing but beauty. Forestry works.
I said it before and I'll say it again. Canada should be paying up because you are best suited to show off your beautiful country. All the best to you and rocko.
This video was so soothing to watch while staying cool in the 35 degree Ontario heat, having a beer, listening to the water flow and looking at the incredible shots of the mountains... best 17 min of my day!
My love of the forest came from being a loggers daughter. I got to see out of the way places that were otherwise inaccessible without logging. My brother now owns a logging company and I now appreciate the measures that are in place to ensure this resource will be around for generations. The more people that get out in the backcountry, the better, because they develop an appreciation for sustainable forestry practices that allow access to otherwise inaccessible places
Many skills this man has. They make for an interesting and enjoyable watch. The only downside is when the video is over and you realize what his life is compared to yours. Well, these vids are also inspirational. It's all up to us if we want to do a little less watching and a little more doing. Preach on, Foresty!
The back country of Canada is unparalleled in its beauty. Yes..."Let's hope to keep some of those places intact." Thank you for taking us to places where only angels trek. Simply amazing.
Rocko is the spitting image of my now 10 y/o male Jack Russel that I've had since puppy, both character and looks. The bullying when he hadn't had enough physical activity is so recognizable and was adorable when he was young, now that he's old he'll just be a bit grumpy until he's had a go with the ball. Luckily h'es obsessed with his football (or soccer for across the pond) which will tire him out quite effectively. The recharging station usually is a water bowl after which he'll be good to go 5 minutes after. Truly absurd stamina even at his age. I always tell people that they're essentially just working dogs in a much smaller package and fully agree with you that she'd tear the house down to the foundation if left alone with a 9-5 office schedule. Honestly in retrospect to me the golden age was when he turned 5 and mellowed down a bit, started listening and obeying to most commands: that's when the real bonding really began. Really amazing dogs if brought up well (which you seem to be doing an absolutely killer job of). Keep up the great videos Foresty
Back to the good old days of Foresty whipping out his gigantic meat and giving it a good rub... ...but also showing us how far he's come. There's a one-man Attenborough production crew in you itching to get out, hope you get to realise it.
Your videos really helped me get over my mild Covid case, isolated from my family. Felt like I had a friend! All the best to you and Rocco. Stay safe and keep hiking.
I came across your channel just after u got rocko. I have a jack and have had several over my life. Watching rocko grow and flourish is just wonderful. The scenery is just beautiful. U r living the dream. Wish I’d done a van life with a dog when I was younger. Making the videos is such an important documentation of the environment and life. Love watching (especially rocko, lol).
@@Capecodham Forestry is talented and clever enough to know when to interject something new and of interest to most human beings. I think you dropped your MAGA hat on the floor.
@@markg3025 Please have some empathy for @burt2481. His wife recently left him for a Jack Russell owning 'girly man', so he's understandably a bit emotional at the moment and has posted the same comment multiple times.
Nothing wrong with the opening commentary, balanced. Always room for improving the way resources are used. I remember the term "working forests" coming into the political discussion on policy in BC. It is apt. Now if we could only get first dibs on the good , straight , stuff before it gets shipped south.
"south"? only south as far as a shipping terminal to China. We here just south of the border are still paying insane prices for lumber because a lot of our production goes to Asia also.
I’ve seen Canada coast to coast countless times as a former trucker, but if it wasn’t for the adventures of Rocco and Foresty, I’d never see this part of our nation, thank you so much!!!! Can’t wait for another video
@@Capecodham what… you don’t like the dog? You think that not liking Rocco makes you some kind of manly man? Newsflash buddy, I like the dog, and guaranteed you’d lose teeth if you called me a girly man to my face. I’d rather the company of a dog, or a cat over persons. Don’t you see my profile pic? That’s my best buddy!!! Comment elsewhere tough guy
Foresty you are the Real Deal! Your bushwhacking; your snow climbing; your drone footage; your cooking; not to mention Rocko mountain climbing as well..I could watch an hour long episode! Truly amazing!!🌹
I had a Beagle/terrier mix that looked just like Rocco. I agree they need to get out everyday. Thankfully we live on 5 acres & surrounded by bush so he had plenty of wildlife to keep him busy. He’d spend all day everyday outside. We lost him in 2017… RIP Johnny. He had a great life… I really enjoy watching you with Rocco. Brings back good memories. 🇨🇦👍🏽
Re: the snow... I was in that area about a week ago. Even a couple of days ago, the province was saying that snow pack in some parts of the kootenays was over 200% of normal for the time of year.
I came out to BC over 30 yrs ago to visit my brother. After being in the backcountry for 3 days I decided to move here. No regrets. All these years and I still find new places to explore. ❤
Nature is amazing if you take the time to look. Thanks for giving us a look at areas that we might never see. Really appreciate the nature that you add to our life
This guy got my big respect when I saw his video when he was building his van during the cold Alberta winter and yet he was building it on various parking lots - no garage or a warehouse !
You have it exactly right, Foresty. There are pros a cons to both a National Forest and a National Park. I'm partial to National Parks, but as long as a National Forest is being maintained properly and conservatively, I don't have any objection to those, either.
dogs come in way before people. dogs do not kill just for fun. (people kill other people). let me know when you read about another dog shots a person should be a good read.
Love your videos. I thought I was fairly fit but seeing you climb that mountain made me realise I need to improve. We only have tiny mountains in Great Britain so I’ll have to come to Canada to climb real mountains. Love the camera on your dog and what a tough little dog. Hope you’re ok after injuring yourself. Hopefully not a cracked rib.
Beautiful opening footage & commentary. Brought tears to my eyes. Glad the drone is okay. And those morels. Wow!!! Sending you & Rocko lots of hugs and love ❤️❤️
Epic scenery, as always. Those heights and the steep places, holding my breath. Thanks so much for showing us the beauty we wouldn't otherwise see. I had to re-watch Rocco and the log a few times. Ha, that was great! Campfire ribs, yum!
I love your videos and channel. Please don’t change anything! What you do is so awesome. So many travel and minimalist channels have sadly become commercial channels. Too many reviews and promotions. I’m so happy and appreciative of what you do.
I gotta go soon. STUNNING Beauty!!!! I have truly wasted a lifetime. A lifetime passes so very quickly! I hope for time and good health now! For all those reading... don't wind up like me, the time is now, do it.
The realest van lifer there is, got everything i could ever want and need but this man makes me jealous asf lol been eyeing a van up for a while now and this guy is the inspiration.
That picture of Rocko standing up on the limb was so cool!!! And I agree with everything you said!!! I didn't think it sounded like preaching at all....its the truth!!👍
THANK YOU for keeping it real at 2 minutes in....! :D I kind of wish they'd leave a few trees sparsely inside the clear cut areas but I get it. Being a furniture builder I went down the rabbit hole on the "responsible forestry" thing - A lot more trees are planted these days than we hear about and forests/wood is a renewable resource when managed properly (which doesn't mean the government has to get involved), something most companies are aware of and practice as they want to continue to come back to areas where cutting had taken place decades earlier - We lose so much of our forests to fires as it is which makes no sense what-so-ever - Better to go in and selectively cut and clear on the regular. Even the ancient native populations managed their areas in this way as they were 100% aware of forest fires.... Love your content, man - You're still my favorite TH-camr
Fantastic scenery. Love how Rocco has so much energy and very quickly worked out that she could not go under the tree with the Rocco Cam on. One smart little girl.
Electric, construction, sewing, video..your skills are infinite. The way you pulled off that membrane on the ribs was done better than many chefs or bbq pit masters I've seen!
I have always enjoyed your videos but honestly Rocko is the star now. She is just so cute and has so much energy! I always knew JRT were super energetic and she proves it.
Thank you Father Forest, for the excellent video and for the sermon (it wasn't over the top). That looked like a very satisfactory outcome (see what I did there?) to the rubbing of the meat. Superb drone footage, wonderful music, boogers (I'm calling it as a morsel of morel)...something for everyone! And it's great to see the classic Foresty Forest humour in full bloom...must mean you are close to 100% health again.

10 seconds into this video and I'm already loving the commentary & drone footage. I wouldn't hate a forest forest 30+ minute documentary!
I’d love it!
I absolutely support this.
A Foresty Forest Documentary.....that would be insane.
His life story.....❤....
10 secs. in and I’m shedding a tear or two. I know we need lumber for building but damm it’s hard to see the after effects.

Rocko Cam RuleZ!
yes but also think part of it was she was glad to be back by van/below snow/near chow time :) Even after a great adventure, glad to be home
This is what make Foresty such a legend. The drone footage with the music takes me right there!
I'm liking the Rocko cam as well.
Absolutely. It's amazing. Just stay safe.

Very interesting intro commentary there Mr Forest, I like the diplomacy. Top notch video, great work!
I have no idea how you have so much energy. Christ, you literally walked up an entire mountain, through knee high snow.

Most of what he shows has never been shown before on film or video, and only in still photos in wilderness guidebooks.

That picture of Rocko standing up on the limb was so cool!!! And I agree with everything you said!!! I didn't think it sounded like preaching at all....its the truth!!👍
Beautiful video. It has everything. Your little co-star is brilliant as usual. ❤️
The Adventures of Rocco. I can't believe how perfect she is for you and your lifestyle.
Keep them coming dude!
We can't get enough!
Go Rocko Go!
Appreciate the time, as always dude!
You have shown us breathtaking landscape that no one else have done so far.Thank you.
THANK YOU for keeping it real at 2 minutes in....! :D I kind of wish they'd leave a few trees sparsely inside the clear cut areas but I get it. Being a furniture builder I went down the rabbit hole on the "responsible forestry" thing - A lot more trees are planted these days than we hear about and forests/wood is a renewable resource when managed properly (which doesn't mean the government has to get involved), something most companies are aware of and practice as they want to continue to come back to areas where cutting had taken place decades earlier - We lose so much of our forests to fires as it is which makes no sense what-so-ever - Better to go in and selectively cut and clear on the regular. Even the ancient native populations managed their areas in this way as they were 100% aware of forest fires.... Love your content, man - You're still my favorite TH-camr
he's one of my favorite channels too, hope he doesnt get political, id hate to lose it like so many others
@@droid3411 He's too smart for that :)
@jomichele seidl Thank you for that, I love it - Pretty simple to "care"
That dog is living the good life 👍

I really really tried to ignore that one! Really sad to see you all did not! 😂
Fantastic scenery. Love how Rocco has so much energy and very quickly worked out that she could not go under the tree with the Rocco Cam on. One smart little girl.
Electric, construction, sewing, video..your skills are infinite. The way you pulled off that membrane on the ribs was done better than many chefs or bbq pit masters I've seen!
The Rocko cam never disappoints.
Your drone footage just keeps getting better! And yeah more Rocko cam please I love it cheers bud
A true steward of the land. Canada is lucky to have you.
The dog barking at the log was great 😊 🪵 🐶
I have always enjoyed your videos but honestly Rocko is the star now. She is just so cute and has so much energy! I always knew JRT were super energetic and she proves it.
Appreciate your perspective on this, a very nuanced topic.
Cheers! 🍺🍕
Roccko is a trooper, lucky dog and a she's a great companion. Love your drone shots.
Thank you for all your wonderful footage! I love your uploads. Please never stop! Take care.
Thank you Father Forest, for the excellent video and for the sermon (it wasn't over the top). That looked like a very satisfactory outcome (see what I did there?) to the rubbing of the meat. Superb drone footage, wonderful music, boogers (I'm calling it as a morsel of morel)...something for everyone! And it's great to see the classic Foresty Forest humour in full bloom...must mean you are close to 100% health again.
