12:17 Rocko is telling the story about her tense stand off with the Big Horn Ram .. including the details of what she would have done to the beast if it had tried to attack her human! You have a devoted friend there with a courageous heart.
Poor Rocko; first you tell her a scary bedtime story about aliens, and then she gets chased by a big horn sheep! She was still willing to protect you though, even with the scary bedtime story, lol. Good ol' Rocko, an hilarious character!
@@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_ Yeah I was thinking the same thing but she's definitely a great girl to have along. Kinda made me think about a JRT and sure enough I got TWO!! Boy & girl, siblings. They're awesome!!
That big horn would have given me a heart attack. Rocko was stellar how she barked at him. She is one of a kind! The ancient drawings and landscapes are incredible.🐕🐐
Rocko was ready to take on that Bighorn for you, Foresty. Don't want to think about it. Glad you are both safe. At the start of the video, I was laughing, but pretty soon it wasn't funny at all. Beautiful place though. We are a West Australian family who are devoted to your channel. You and Rocko are our favourite people. Stay safe, Simon.
@@guybeingaguyya it was actually the mini fox/coyote/wolf Rocko predator that sent Big Daddy into protect mode. They don't just butt. They'll stomp the hell out of a predator too, in a heart beat, and to Big daddy Rocko was the little trailblazer predatory canine and deemed a signifiant threat.
Lol that last bark from Rocco when the sheep was running away is like "Yeah! You better run!" What a brave cutie standing up to someone 10 times her size. Simon, you're lucky she was there to protect you haha
Wow. What an amazing adventure. My husband and I encountered bighorn sheep in Utah at Capital Reef. They are incredible. One minute they were facing us at the top of a cliff and seconds later they were 500 feet down in the canyon. There is no way you could escape them if they wanted to pursue you. Rocko wasn't going to back down, though. Love that little girl.
LORDY! What was more treacherous the big horn or fording that icy river so many times? Both! That art makes me feel like an ant in the scheme of the world.
Oh man, that was priceless. The ram was a surprise. Good old Rocko! Knows when the run like heck, but ready to stand her ground when y’all have your back to the wall. Glad you’re ok!
Who knew? I live in the desert SW and did not know big horns would be so aggressive. Glad you and Rocko made it back. Glad she took out her frustration of not getting to bite the critter by attacking the rock later😅. Love the content and glad all ended well. Thx
Great video Forrest. Fearless little Rocko doing her best to defend you and barking like a dog several times her size - what a magic little friend you have there.
Hence forth I deem thee: ROCKO THE RAM SLAYER. You gotta love Rocko. Her "Hey! Back Off!" bark to another animal 8 times her size with horns no less is classic terrier. She put herself between Forest and that sheep. What a brave little fire cracker she is. Best investment you ever made Forest. Alarm system, heater, missile with teeth and best entertainment that money can't buy. What a buddy.
8.5km in, 5:30min into the video, and I just have to say that I really adore your content, your philosophy, perspectives, you, and your dog. And the fact that you take the time to film, edit, produce and generously share such beautiful and top quality content- it's appreciated. Keep doing your stuff and being you. ❤from Aotearoa NZ
Aussie here, brilliant Simon.You bringing a whole lot of joy to many of us,stay free and well,thankyou,currently worshiping your content.Well done my man!
Just watched your collaborative video with Foresty Forest, and gave it a thumbs up, left a comment, and subscribed to your channel with the notification bell on. Like I said over there, you can't go wrong doing a collaborative video with Foresty. So glad that you guys were able to get together.
The sly humor from Foresty...#metoo...Skinny ant aliens...Glad you and Rocko were unharmed. Love how Rocko will just hang out in your jacket when needed. Thanks for taking us along.
I'm a Utah native and I am so pleased you spend so much time here. (I consider you a local. Even if you're not.) Thank you for showcasing my little backyard. Stay safe out there!
I've had a bighorn sheep chase my dog. Rocko might be the target. Utah is a good place to see mountain lions. They'll walk along the ridges looking down while following you and might choose to confront your dog but coyotes are the biggest threat to small dogs. Coyotes kill foxes on their territory all the time.
Big horn sheep see all dogs as predators. The sheep was not interested in Forest, but Rocko. I had a similar experience in Jasper / hiking in the Rockies. I was in a more populated area and a park official advised me to keep my dog in my vehicle and away from the big horns as they could all charge / trample my little Shitsu The sheep cannot differentiate between domestic dogs and coyotes or wolves. All are the same to them.
I was in this area just two weeks ago, what an amazing place! I was with a friend, telling him stories about the famous Foresty, and little did I know, you were around...🤭
I don’t blame you for getting out of there! Loved seeing little Rocko stand her ground❣️. I do glad he didn’t hurt either of you 💗🙏🏾 Also glad to hear you & Loui are keeping in touch ❣️🥰
Great video Mr. Forresty. When I worked at the park I had a conversation with a jack russell owner (operator), and he told me that in Africa that they now use russell's to fend off Lion's entering camp, adding that the ridgebacks just didn't have the tenacity. Please ...... don't tell Rocko ..... sshhhhh
Oh, you crack me up! I love your ability to keep your sense of humor in the face of danger…Love how Rocko is your little protector, and how great she is at holding her own on those rocks! Be safe and adventure on😊
Rocko in this case was the canine that put daddy into protective mode. They don't differentiate between fox coyotes and wolves. He was driving off the trailblazer canine before they got near his young and yearlings and the mamas
.Hello from Alberta, Canada.....I am a NEW SUBSCRIBER here. That was a tricky situation you were in So glad your dog Rocko was there to deter the ram from getting any closer to you. Man that river, that you had to cross several times, looks to be pretty cold for your feet. I didn't see you grimace so you must be one tough cookie. Thank you for filming such beautiful scenery. I will watch your previous videos and any future ones. P.S.: Rocko looks so cute when she is hitching a ride inside your jacket.
The first few seconds at the beginning looked like a murder mystery. I thought by mistake I clicked on 48 hours. Your videos are awesome. You are so lucky to live your life like this. Stay safe and blessed.
What an awesome video...such awesome scenery.... my husband loves this so much!! (As do i). Thank you, sir! Our old eyes live through you. (My husband especially).
Well that was interesting, never heard of a big horn attacking humans. He was a big one too! Rocco cracks me up, she's such a character and has the best life ever!
This is an epic video. Wow. And I so love your sense of humor. I laughed out loud (after I was relieved to see you were safe) about your hash tag thing. You are one in a million, Foresty. Also thanks for introducing Louie. She is a breath of fresh air to watch too.
Pictographs are so cool! Never heard of them until a few years back when I visited the petrified forest. Thanks for sharing them when you come across them.
Priceless at 11:58 - "... I'm either going to get abducted by aliens, or #MeToo'd by a Big Horn sheep." Well said, Simon! You sound just like Steve Wallis.
Thank you for sharing the wonderful adventure....From the appreciation and respect for the petroglyphs to the the surprise encounter with the ram, your camera work and personal insight create a deeply meaningful shared experience.
Even though nearly getting rammed must have been scary for you, we found it so amusing after you were safe. Loved Rocko's protective stance, such a sweet little badass. That is some powerful landscape with all-seeing guardians. Take care where you go and watch your back! Love your channel, always.
Yeahhh for ROCKO BABY!!! Defending her Dad against that mean Mountson Goat!!! Again a wise decision by you to just get out of there!! Another AWESOME ADVENTURE FOR YOU!!!😉😉
That is beautiful country, and those pictographs… ❤️ Rocko told that Bighorn for sure! She protected her human pet! It’s always hard to know what to do when you have to interact with unfamiliar species. It sounds like Loui may have saved the day with,a bit of advice. She’s awesome! More people should get on her channel!!!
That incredible looking moon! Stunning. That was exciting to watch, I can only imagine how you felt running from the bighorn guy. I was so glad Rocko didn't charge at it to protect you, she's such a brave & spicy girl. Utah is very special, glad you came back.✌️🐏
an outdoors store was closing its doors and clearing everything else... I added a super discounted and affordable centre-fire bear banger and flare kit. I think i may have tried a banger in that circumstance... perhaps scared it away with the bang. Loved all of the glyphs in that area!!!
The intro score and later hashtag reference really emphasized my enjoyment of this episode. Yes, I will always carry bear spray. Rocko was clearly prepared for a fight!
DUDE Rocko was Mad Dogging that long horn 💪😂🐶 protecting you! Cool video footage bro. The grunts and snorts and stare down would make an epic SHORTZ OR TIC TOK
I enjoy your subtle sense of humor. You made me laugh outloud. Thanks for the entertainment, and all your hard work. You make me feel like I'm there too... PS So glad you are ok and there were no ramifications from your encounter.
What a great adventure! Chased by a randy ram and opting for frosty feet over another night in an alien infested wilderness. All in 1 day. Only Foresty and Rocko can accomplish such things and remain upright. Thank you!!!
I knew you and Rocko would eventually get back safe because you were telling the tale…but omg, I was scared anyway and watched in suspense! What an experience! Rocko sure is a gutsy girl! So glad you’re both ok!
That was refrigerator and blanket material you let get away, would have made damn good content, "Todays dinner is Big Horn Sheep from Utah, and afterwards we're gonna learn how to tan a hide to use as a blanket" .. Really, I'm glad You're ok... to take care of Rocko
Love this video...Rocko is such a gem....i laughed a little as you climbed up to get away from the best cliff climber in the world....but only because I knew you were safe.
I can’t decide if the bighorn is curious about Rocko or it wants to talk about an extended warranty😂. Very cool hike Simon! Hugs and love to you & Rocko!❤️❤️
A new line has been written!
Foresty Forest, he lives in a van!
Foresty Forest, he runs from a ram!❤
👍 😂
Lol, I'd say he runs like a ram! 😂
Spot on Mitch🎯

🤣
My Jack was the bravest dog in the world. Except when she saw a Chihuahua. 😂
Rocko barking at the Big Horn..." Bring it on..Big Boy, you'll hafta get through me"!!! Never a dull moment :)
Poor Rocko; first you tell her a scary bedtime story about aliens, and then she gets chased by a big horn sheep! She was still willing to protect you though, even with the scary bedtime story, lol. Good ol' Rocko, an hilarious character!
I know you’ve had rocko for a while now, but man she is such a good addition to your adventure. What a gem she is!
I remember when he was thinking about it, I thought it was a bad idea and would hinder him on his adventures. Boy was I wrong. :D
She was your bearspray out there :)
You are so right ,I love watching Foresty,Forest.but now it’s extra special because he has a faithful companion in Rocco.
@@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_ Yeah I was thinking the same thing but she's definitely a great girl to have along. Kinda made me think about a JRT and sure enough I got TWO!! Boy & girl, siblings. They're awesome!!
It kills me that this man puts in all this good work to make good content and yaw dumbass animal lovers worried but a damn dog.
Dude had a 300lb ram on his tail, and he remembers to turn the camera around so we can see LMAO. Love the commitment Foresty
Bravo wee Rocky making up such a strong defensive position to protect Foresty.
That was so scary! Rocco was such a tough gal barking and defending you. She is truly a blessing and I’m so glad you both made it back safely!
You are so lucky that Rocko was there with you to scare that sheep away. She was definitely barking trying to protect you.
Yes. Yes. It was the all the PHEAR put out by the Jack Russell Terror!
That big horn would have given me a heart attack. Rocko was stellar how she barked at him. She is one of a kind! The ancient drawings and landscapes are incredible.🐕🐐

Cannot for the life of me figure out why there aren't 2 million subscribers. Just a great channel.
I’m glad ewe are ok…. 🤣👍🏻
😅
Lol that last bark from Rocco when the sheep was running away is like "Yeah! You better run!"
What a brave cutie standing up to someone 10 times her size.
Simon, you're lucky she was there to protect you haha
Rocko playing with a rock. She cracks me up. 😆
10:55 Go Rocko !!! I think Rocko made him rethink the risk reward !
I love Rocko! She is FEARLESS!!

Rocko was doing her part to protect you. Maybe we should call her Braveheart!
Wow. The footage is amazing. You've become such a great visual story-teller. And your humor shines through no matter the circumstances!
Thank you!
Epic adventure. Always love the landscapes of that area of the country. Pictographs both haunting and intriguing.
The way you pack in so much adventure into a 15 minute video is a feat in itself. Love your channel.
Thanks!
Racco was ready to defend you with her life. What an awesome companion.
Oh man, that was priceless. The ram was a surprise. Good old Rocko! Knows when the run like heck, but ready to stand her ground when y’all have your back to the wall. Glad you’re ok!
This was a spectacular vlog!! Thanks for the virtual trip, Foresty Forest!
Those icicles on the ground, pictographs, your chase....wild!
The moon at the end 😍 Beautiful shot.
Thanks!
Thank-you too 🙂

Foresty loves Utah ❤️
I'm so happy for him rn.
Oh that Rocco is one mean Hombre. She told that ram where to get off. Stay safe out there.
Woah dude you weren’t joking! This is GNARLY!!!

It seems Rocko saved you! she is so brave!

@John-Nada, That's pretty sobering.
yeah I was thinking Rocko should have been in the jacket at the first sign of trouble to get him out of sight.

Rocko is such a brave pup she was protecting her dad
Dang! That sheep in rut season! You are hilarious! Rocko and her stone! 💜🐾 get warm!
what a fantastic memory. Rocko was ready to kick ass on the bighorn! Love it.
Saved by Rocko!
The peace and quiet. ❤❤❤❤
I'd like to have one MINUTE outdoors without hearing people or traffic.
Those "cave" paintings are incredible!

Holy shit!! That escalated quickly 😂😂. Glad you didn’t have to go head to head. Rocko was going to protect you at least. Cheers. Safe travels
Love Rocko what a wonderful furbaby. Happy to see you are both safe and beautiful hike! Thanks for sharing
I think I can speak for every one of you followers, we all love Rocco. She is a beast. Barking at Rocks is my favorite.
Beautiful photography Foresty, well done!
Adorable Rocco 🐩❤, Aggressive Bighorn 🐏, lovely Foresty Forest🧑, great content📽️ and nice scenery 🖼️
Thumbs up 🔥👍👍
What an awesome video...such awesome scenery.... my husband loves this so much!! (As do i). Thank you, sir! Our old eyes live through you. (My husband especially).
Rocko falling asleep as you are eating…you two so fit each other
Well that was interesting, never heard of a big horn attacking humans. He was a big one too! Rocco cracks me up, she's such a character and has the best life ever!
I was impressed that Rocko was right with you when you were running away from the sheep.

LOL you'd think it was "sweeps week" for TH-cam, given how action-packed this one is. I'm glad you didn't get bighornswoggled!

Another banger! Glad you didn't get RAMMED

My favorite adventure so far 😍
Some totally entertaining comments as well. Kind of like getting a double feature.
I love how the music looped each time you crossed the river, nice work.
Wow what a hike!!! 😅 awesome video Simon FF 👏
I knew you and Rocko would eventually get back safe because you were telling the tale…but omg, I was scared anyway and watched in suspense! What an experience! Rocko sure is a gutsy girl! So glad you’re both ok!
Wow quite the heart pounder I'm sure - glad you and Rocko are safe at the van and able to summit another day:)
Foresty the GOAT
HEY! Hello Foresty and Rocky! Thumbs UP!
What a way to go ! You had the full jre experience - cold plunge - aliens and a rogue bighorn
That was refrigerator and blanket material you let get away, would have made damn good content, "Todays dinner is Big Horn Sheep from Utah, and afterwards we're gonna learn how to tan a hide to use as a blanket" .. Really, I'm glad You're ok... to take care of Rocko
Rock kept that sheep away!!!! :). Great video.
You put the work in on this one! Great vid.
Love this video...Rocko is such a gem....i laughed a little as you climbed up to get away from the best cliff climber in the world....but only because I knew you were safe.
I can’t decide if the bighorn is curious about Rocko or it wants to talk about an extended warranty😂. Very cool hike Simon! Hugs and love to you & Rocko!❤️❤️
Even more aggressive than the regular ones, LDS Sheep Missionaries won't ever leave you alone. Glad you made it out alive!
