      It's even better if you can grill it over open flame and you can get a bit of char on the corn...we used to cook corn on the cob on the barbeque that way, it's delicious.

      Yes, I soak the husk in so.e sugar water than grill the corn on the bbq. It turns out so sweet and delicious. I have shown many people and they love it. Sometimes i will take the husk off and grill it for a minute over the open flame without the husk. Learned it from the annual carnival that goes through my province of Ontario.

      @kevin9c1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not really true. Generally new fluid helps. The power flushes could be considered questionable but if you either drop the pan or splice into the cooler lines and let the pump do the work there is NO reason to be concerned with trans service.

    Foresty , you have to keep the van after getting that lengthy warranty on the tranny. Plus look at all the places it's taken you. I subscribed when you went to Inuvik and Tuk and said to myself , what's he doing , with a 2 wheel drive going up there. I lived in the Yukon in 75 , 76 , 77 for 2 years , and drove up the Dempster Hwy. caribou hunting. We could only go as far as the Eagle River as the army was just putting in a Bailey bridge there. The roads were quite different when you went , but still , you can run into a blizzard or whatever. I give you so much credit for the places you went in the Yukon and giving us the beautiful scenery. Also this video was great. Keep going Foresty from Winnipeg.

    Glad you're back on the road again Bud that's awesome!!! When it comes to Foresty Forest there's NEVER a terrible video, trust me we love em all!!! Too bad there was no happy ending with your phone as that sure would have been cool if you had found it. And to my surprise we see the repairs on your van were done in Dink Town where I live LOL... Rarely do legend's pass through my town ;)

    I replaced my transmission in my 2000 Sienna this year. I purchased it new 20 years ago ! Still have it but since I drive my son to university often (7 hour one way) I purchased a 2020 Sienna and kept the 2000 for lugging stuff in town...such a good vehicle.

    Your doing great. Remember: grace under pressure. Can you imagine the backlash if it had been the crock pot skidding down the glacier never to be seen again? They would have had to have the Snowbirds do a flyby and have an empty box lying in state in Ottawa. All the big box stores that sell slow cookers would have their flags at half mast. Best to not think about that. Your transmission was a tough break but you are leaning into it and doing great.

    Nice tribute to Space Balls, “comb the Glacier”....yea Fernie, we skied there and drank “wobbly pops” 😂🤣 aka wine cooler type drinks aka alcopops or alcoholic soda. We nicest people. Wish you the best on the phone recovery. Guess we need to get you a phone tether for Christmas 🎄. And please consider getting two phones, one for us and one for your life. We worry that’s all... Thanks for a day trip with Forest, we even had dinner. You slay me with your gourmet burger, it’s the only way. Maybe we can make a hermit commune one day. 🤣😂

    Dude, no need to apologize for the video quality. For one, the quality is fine. Also, the 'reality' theme of your videos and journey is a big part of what makes your videos great! Losing your phone sucks but it is a part of it all.

I love the hiking videos above all else, but I love to see your in town adventures and hiccups as well!
