The shadow behind the tree when you had the sandwich reminded of your older video with the cat growl in the background. I enjoy when you throw in the secrets.
Your videos are always so positive and I always find myself smiling when I watch them. Thank you for bringing some light to the world with a beautiful heart and message. Oh and your kitten is amazing.
When you are in the woods eating your sandwich and you say "when you are in the forest, you can't worry too much about weird noises" at 10:52... Look at the right side of the screen behind the tree, a dark figure moves out from behind it! Big foot?!?! CRAZY!!!
Would it be possible to do a video on “what I spend at the store” and how long that last. I come across so many people who say being Vegan is expensive. I say bad health is more expensive hahaha but to be able to quickly pull video proof up to share with these people would be incredible! Thanks for everything over the years!!!
He’s had a few shopping videos, though I don’t remember if he discussed cost. Whole food plant based is super cheap the more you focus on whole starches. Greens, nuts, and dried fruits increase the cost, but nothing is as expensive as mock meats, mock cheeses, and vegan junk food.
I think a Whole Food vegan style of eating is actually significantly less costly providing it's not filled with a ton of meat substitutes or boxed plant milks. If one is mostly oil free that cuts costs on buying oils for cooking or dressings and making beans from dried vs. canned also cuts costs (and sodium).
yes, a study was just published, in a good, peer reviewed journal, that analyzed costs of diets and vegan was the cheapest. Depends on what you buy obviously but I feel if you stick to whole foods and don’t worry about supposed super foods except those that are cheap in your area, it is quite cheap. where I am chia and flax seeds are super cheap, also swiss chard, you can eat those instead of non-locally produced stuff that is super costly. and make most things from scratch/at home like beans, etc.
@@Mialuvsveggies agreed! my grocery bill went down by about half just by removing meat, eggs, and dairy, but also adding TONS of new things i never bought before, and larger quantities of staples.
This is amazing timing! I was just debating what to eat on a non-lifting day (I opted for the smoothie bowl) Your videos are consistently excellent, but of late the quality has gotten even better!
Loved the video including the beautiful nature, great food and creepy shadow behind the tree :D Thank you so much an lots of love from Berlin Germany :)
Hi Derek! Was so great to run into you, I was a bit star struck lol. We are enjoying exploring the island, so much beauty. Thanks for your videos they are always inspiring. Erin
I really enjoy watching your genuine enthusiasm for life and almost child-like wonder (this is not a negative by the way, I am like that myself 🙂). It's so refreshing seeing someone be their truest self!
I love the creativity of your videos and your genuine nature! By far, my favorite channel to watch. You always keep it real and I appreciate that! Also enjoy all the variety in your life! Take care!
Tip for salads: roasted potatoes cooked ahead of time and refrigerated. Add to your favourite raw salad veggies. I like roasted sweet potatoes with garlic and herbs the most. It's a cold salad, but soooo yummy! Dressing idea: vegan sour cream on its own or mixed with Dijon mustard.
I saw that arrow of shadows before you mentioned it and I was in awe. So cool. I’m glad all 3 of you had a good day. It’s nice to do things on your own then share your experiences when you get back together. BTW, that sandwich looked awesome!
The “drive back” was a nice touch! The food was amazing, I really want to eat in a forrest now… lmfao!! This video helped me pick up my mood when I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t go back to sleep, so thank you 🙏…but now I’m hungry 🤤
Hi Derek, I've been busy and haven't been watching your videos. I'm glad I clicked on this one. It's always a breath of fresh air to see you on here. Keep up the good work and hopefully we can meet some day.
I really enjoy your videos and menu ideas. The hole in the wall is on my list of places to hike. Thanks for bringing such positive energy to your videos!!
I love your videos showing the beautiful area you live in. Also I never get tired of the stir frys and your meals for the day. You always give me ideas. Please keep up the good work. I love seeing Crystal, especially hearing her laugh, but I also love your solo videos. You make a great couple.
Have you considered taking cold water dips? The waters in your surroundings are so beautiful and cold! It's great for mental and physical health :-), maybe the short dipping of your feet was a great start ;-). Check out the video's of Wim Hof (the iceman).
This video was amazing!! It reminded me of the holidays i went on with my parents, hiking all day through beautiful landscapes and a baguette with hummus was the best thing on the world then
Wow, your sandwich looks great!!! i am just starting to grow my own sprouts - am excited to be able to eat fresh home grown sprouts. Loved your break into the forest. God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon
Derrick You are the reason I am viewing, i appreciate both of you,, i really enjoy your tips, now i have to find that video on those soy curls, just bought some and want to follow you recipe
Hey man! Something like a camping food video would be epic to watch from you. Just had this thought after you had mentioned how even the most basic food tastes amazing while camping. Love your energy- feel like I'm feeling it all the way to Germany!
Next time your in port you should check out Stokes falls. The trail head is on the gravel road just up the hump from where you parked on the highway. Just make sure you don’t drive past the gate because you will be locked in. It is so true that food tastes better in the woods, when ever I make chilli my husband asks me to make double so I can dehydrate it into trail food. Then we are out on the trails we bring a mini stove and pot and wraps to make burritos.
One spicy slug! I just broke out laughing at your comment when one of your tempeh slices fell to the forest floor. Thank you for enlightening my evening. Your cat is adorable.
Beautiful outing through the forest just wondering if you ever worry about bears. Your day meals all look fantastic, except cilantro is a big X. Your last video with the transformation with chickpeas to fries was a total win. Thanks for sharing all your outings and food planning.👍❤️😊
Thanks! Turns out I have more than half of the ingredients for that dinner recipe! Be safe on your adventures - I used to work in Yosemite and bought a PLB (personal locator beacon) in case I got into a tricky spot on a solo hike.
Love your channel: Scenery and activity 20% of the enjoyment, YOUR PERSONALITY and joie de vivre 80%!!😉 Not to downplay the awesomeness of your scenery and activities, just to say that you could upload ANYTHING and most would watch coz your personality is GOLD! 🙏Love crystal but the word “fries” (and the implication of healthy coz it’s your channel) is what garnered the higher viewing on that prior upload. Keep posting! Not too long before 1 million subs. 🤗
I have to admit that I watch Derek somewhat regularly, but the word "fries" actually made me NOT watch the video, LOL... when having to decide what to spend limited time on, even while loving his sincerity and joy in life itself, fries aren't on my top favorite of anything. Talk about a reversal, eh? I totally agree, when you say to him "your personality is GOLD." I remember the first time I saw one of his videos, and that's what won me over immediately.
...and of COURSE your kitty is an amazing adventurer in training! leaping from tall shoulders up onto rooftop of fridge then even higher on top of cupboard to do battle with evil nemesis pot plant! loved it! loved it! loved it alllllll!
Omg I need to know where this is!! I'm going to have to watch this again I remember you said this name of the lake. But I totally need to photograph the hole in the wall. Thank you for sharing!!
Hey Derek cool vid. My daughter's coming over from Australia and is a huge hiker. Can't wait to tell her about the hole in the wall. Love your cooking too💕
When we went on a holiday to Switzerland by train in 2019 I took a mason jar for overnight oats (full of overnight oats for the journey) and a tray full of baked potatoes I also took a chopping board and two sharp knives and we ate well in our apartment hotel only going out to a restaurant in the evening as we were in Italian speaking Switzerland (and it would be rude not to) The app Happy Cow was incredibly useful but the supermarkets stocked soya milk and oats and the local bakery had very nice wholemeal bread.
Love the video, especially the shot of the Jeep cruising the rugged terrain! So sorry about your fall. I think cold wet feet would have bummed me out! But not Derek! I really enjoy your cooking videos because it shoes how quick and easy good healthy food can be. Also the hole in the wall was an amazing sight and I enjoyed the history! Great job.
Great video as always. Loved it. You have a creepy presence beside the tree (even the russle of the leaves with feet) when you're eating. Go back and check you footage at around time stamp 10:50. Just after you sit down and hear noises.
Just something I’ve picked up along the way - Blending fruits is not advisable by some good nutritionists. They all recommend eating fruits and not mixing it with any other solid foods. Vege juices are preferred by them.
As always, I am inspired by all your yummy vegan creations! Especially loved the visit to the "hole in the wall" (loved that 'Arrow' shadow observation, super cool!) and watching your kitten romp about. :-)
That was too funny about the log slip up! I have done that but the log was on the ground so I didn’t fall in the water. So very easy to do on a smooth log as that one seem to be. Thanks for not cutting it out of the video so we can see your transparent Nobody’s perfect real human side. 🥰 I think I would gain so much weight if I ate as much food as you do. I eat about twice a day.
What a great way to start my day……a Simnett Nutrition video! I can’t wait to explore BC someday when we can travel again - thanks for letting me live vicariously. I bet there will be a Derek-designed buffalo sauce recipe in our future.
When you sit down with a tempeh sandwich and TH-cam and dang if Derek isn’t having a tempeh sandwich. Yours was much fancier, but I felt special sharing a sandwich with you 😊
The shadow behind the tree when you had the sandwich reminded of your older video with the cat growl in the background. I enjoy when you throw in the secrets.
What was behind the tree?! 😳
Yeah mountain lion right maybe that’s Mrs Bigfoot
holy shit what was that
I was thinking the same thing! Maybe he happened to sit down next to the tree without realizing some guy was taking a piss on the other side of it!😂
Sasquatch heard there was lunch
I don't think I've missed a single video by you in a long time. You just give me great vibes and joy everytime i watch!
Wow there is a shadow behind the tree?!!👀👀 You were not alone ...great video as usual ✨✨
Your videos are always so positive and I always find myself smiling when I watch them. Thank you for bringing some light to the world with a beautiful heart and message. Oh and your kitten is amazing.

That was CLEARLY another being of some sort! 😁
Wasn't Big Foot recording the video right next to Derek? Hehe ;-)
@@clearlynature5645 yep. another being alright. see comments up above!
yep. her name was Erin?
I was just about to comment about that! SO creepy lmao
edit: nvm, it was edited in ahhaha
Glad you didnt get hurt falling into the water. Your stir fry at the end looks amazing!
My wrist is definitely feeling the fall lol
Oh no, I hope it heals fast

Meat is extremely expensive especially if doing Keto or any high protein diet. I’d sooner spend 300 on veggies verses meat
@@Mialuvsveggies agreed! my grocery bill went down by about half just by removing meat, eggs, and dairy, but also adding TONS of new things i never bought before, and larger quantities of staples.
Wow, Derek! You always remind me how simple it is to whip up the right stuff. Paralysis by analysis gets me all too often. Thanks!
This is amazing timing! I was just debating what to eat on a non-lifting day (I opted for the smoothie bowl) Your videos are consistently excellent, but of late the quality has gotten even better!
Thank you so much Rich! Enjoy your smoothie bowl.
You’re right! Lunch on the trail tastes so much better. I think it’s because of the fresh air and effort spent. A delicious reward!
Loved the video including the beautiful nature, great food and creepy shadow behind the tree :D Thank you so much an lots of love from Berlin Germany :)
I saw that creepy shadow beside the tree lol. Good eye.
@@BA-yo3vz Definitely saw the creepy shadow too. Right when he mentioned weird sounds in the forest.
The RC shot and the Bigfoot behind the tree. Your editing is on point!
Real nice video again, love the nature you have access to over there.
Time and time again I always come back to watch this channel! Consistently one of my favourite people to watch!
You seem to have the nicest disposition
and it was so precious ...You loving on your kitty
Thank You
God bless you
13:02 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the editing with the mini car was sooo funny I can't 😄
Ok, when you were talking about the sounds look to the right of the video and it looks like a shadow walk by the tree. spoooky.
You inspire me in the kitchen & make me laugh & your cat makes me smile!
Hi Derek! Was so great to run into you, I was a bit star struck lol. We are enjoying exploring the island, so much beauty. Thanks for your videos they are always inspiring. Erin
It was great to meet you Erin! Thanks for the waterfall tip :)
So I guess you were the shadow behind the tree at 10:51 then. Great video as always Derek! Greetings from Argentina
@@martoyoutub2165 I don't think it was his shadow. I'm going with ghost. lol
@@Spiralsinto I meant Erin, the original commenter
Right, I agree😀The Ambiance enhances the food flavors🧘🏾
That stir fry was awesome I found that just egg at Walmart $5.75 cad. And I love that original Rav 4
Hey Derek you saw that when you talked about noises in the woods (10:51-10:55), someone/thing was creeping behind the tree on the right?
I know! Big foot?!!
@@Amanda-ku5gm yea I seen that too! I’m sure he edited that part in. I hope so!
I know... he had to have done that lol.. right?
This almost felt like a scene from a parody horror movie
I didn’t think my editing skills were so convincing 😂
Food tastes better with less distractions ~ mindful eating. Thanks for your inspiring and delicious videos!
I love seeing the beautiful scenery along with the cooking!
Absolutely breathtaking scenery where you are! I liked your little Sasquatch glimpse…hahaha…no, it did not make me gasp 😱!
I really enjoy watching your genuine enthusiasm for life and almost child-like wonder (this is not a negative by the way, I am like that myself 🙂). It's so refreshing seeing someone be their truest self!
You are such a great presenter! You are so personable…a great athlete and your advice is great!!
I love the creativity of your videos and your genuine nature! By far, my favorite channel to watch. You always keep it real and I appreciate that! Also enjoy all the variety in your life! Take care!
I lived in Vancouver for 3 years and never visited the island. I wish I had because it's stunningly beautiful.
10:52 That reminded me of your older ab exercise video where there was some animal noise 😂 nice editing, sure made me do a double take!
Tip for salads: roasted potatoes cooked ahead of time and refrigerated. Add to your favourite raw salad veggies. I like roasted sweet potatoes with garlic and herbs the most. It's a cold salad, but soooo yummy! Dressing idea: vegan sour cream on its own or mixed with Dijon mustard.
Kudos to the creations! Great taste and no guilt!💪 This video will bring happiness to everybody!👍
Thanks Maurice
Thank you for all that you do! You keep me motivated. Its is so helpful to see meals dont have to be complicated!
Thanks Derek for all these good vibes, from France ;)
10:53 BIGFOOT!!!!!
Love the little bits of interesting things like the mystery sounds/movement in the woods and the RC car haha
Stir fry tonight, thanks and I loved the hole in the wall and you laughing when you fell in!
I saw that arrow of shadows before you mentioned it and I was in awe. So cool. I’m glad all 3 of you had a good day. It’s nice to do things on your own then share your experiences when you get back together. BTW, that sandwich looked awesome!

Always love your produce chopping montages, if that’s the right word for it. But especially dig that green onion SPLICE ya did there. 😉
You made me laugh so many times during this video. But kitty stole the show, so adorable!! I'm making those chickpea fries tonight.
You just reminded me how great sprouts on sandwiches are. Yumm. Thanks for taking us on great adventures!
Loved your video. The nature where you're at is absolutely beautiful. I miss the beauty of the forests...although I do love my Florida beaches.
Derrick You are the reason I am viewing, i appreciate both of you,, i really enjoy your tips, now i have to find that video on those soy curls, just bought some and want to follow you recipe
I loved the hike and views. Definitely encouraging to get out even though it's cold and yes smoothies are smart .
Awesome. Enjoy fantastic BC and your wonderful meals!😊😊😊
That stir-fry looks A-MAY-ZING!!! OMG!!! And it’s such a simple dish!!! I will HAVE to make that!!! Thanks D.!!! 💯
Hey man! Something like a camping food video would be epic to watch from you. Just had this thought after you had mentioned how even the most basic food tastes amazing while camping.
Love your energy- feel like I'm feeling it all the way to Germany!
That Buffalo Tempeh Sandwich looked so good and so simple to make. Yum!
The footage of the RC Jeep made me giggle 😁

Love seeing the Canadian nature, totally different to what we have here in Australia 🥰
Hey Derek! Love your videos! Will you please show more of your workout routines? Thanks for the motivation!
I saw a stir fry hack the other day. Crumble the day old cold rice in your hand over the pan to break up and prevent clumps.
I love to watch your videos, you are so positive and give so many good food ideas thank you!!
One spicy slug! I just broke out laughing at your comment when one of your tempeh slices fell to the forest floor. Thank you for enlightening my evening. Your cat is adorable.

So beautiful! Thanks for the adventure and great food ideas!!
incredible editing ! Much love man !
Thanks! Turns out I have more than half of the ingredients for that dinner recipe!
Be safe on your adventures - I used to work in Yosemite and bought a PLB (personal locator beacon) in case I got into a tricky spot on a solo hike.
Derek...the thing you found from the tree...it looks like Icelandic moss...it's a lichen that grows on trees (cetaria islandica)

Hey Derek cool vid. My daughter's coming over from Australia and is a huge hiker. Can't wait to tell her about the hole in the wall. Love your cooking too💕
When we went on a holiday to Switzerland by train in 2019
I took a mason jar for overnight oats
(full of overnight oats for the journey)
and a tray full of baked potatoes
I also took a chopping board and two sharp knives
and we ate well in our apartment hotel
only going out to a restaurant in the evening
as we were in Italian speaking Switzerland
(and it would be rude not to)
The app Happy Cow was incredibly useful
but the supermarkets stocked soya milk and oats
and the local bakery had very nice wholemeal bread.
wait, there is an Italian-speaking part of Switzerland? where?
@@MISSYMINX261 oh yes, it's called Ticino, in the South of Switzerland! I live and work just there!
Fun trip 😂😂
Only 30 seconds in but I already want to say I appreciate the musicality of the intro B roll! Click, clack!
Love the video, especially the shot of the Jeep cruising the rugged terrain! So sorry about your fall. I think cold wet feet would have bummed me out! But not Derek! I really enjoy your cooking videos because it shoes how quick and easy good healthy food can be. Also the hole in the wall was an amazing sight and I enjoyed the history! Great job.
The remote control jeep at about 13:04 was hilarious!!!!!
Great video as always. Loved it. You have a creepy presence beside the tree (even the russle of the leaves with feet) when you're eating. Go back and check you footage at around time stamp 10:50. Just after you sit down and hear noises.
The power of editing
@@landonp.4073 oooh lol, I see - was really cool!
i believe he met a fan? from comments up top?
Great inspiration!!
Always love your food ideas. Thank you Derek!
Just something I’ve picked up along the way - Blending fruits is not advisable by some good nutritionists. They all recommend eating fruits and not mixing it with any other solid foods. Vege juices are preferred by them.
As always, I am inspired by all your yummy vegan creations! Especially loved the visit to the "hole in the wall" (loved that 'Arrow' shadow observation, super cool!) and watching your kitten romp about. :-)
Im here for the vibe you share and the sauces....
When you ate the bark haha 😄 and you didnt drop the glass! Amazing save!
That lake looks so beautiful, but I think I'll wait til it's a little warmer to check it out
Such beautiful scenery.
Did you edit in a bigfoot @ 10:53??? Haha very subtle. Nicely done.
loved your video thank you
Always enjoy all of your videos! The scenario was awesome!
Anyone spot the squatch at 10:52? lol Nice work!
That was too funny about the log slip up! I have done that but the log was on the ground so I didn’t fall in the water. So very easy to do on a smooth log as that one seem to be. Thanks for not cutting it out of the video so we can see your transparent Nobody’s perfect real human side. 🥰
I think I would gain so much weight if I ate as much food as you do. I eat about twice a day.
You are so right... others would have edited the fall n done a retake.
Love this video! Thank you for the great make and take food ideas. I loved the food and the beautiful scenery!
Your vids are so wholesome
What a great way to start my day……a Simnett Nutrition video! I can’t wait to explore BC someday when we can travel again - thanks for letting me live vicariously. I bet there will be a Derek-designed buffalo sauce recipe in our future.
Awesome content! Lovey all your stuff, master Derek :)
When you sit down with a tempeh sandwich and TH-cam and dang if Derek isn’t having a tempeh sandwich. Yours was much fancier, but I felt special sharing a sandwich with you 😊
Yay some chopping video art - loved it!
Haha thanks for appreciating. I try and keep it interesting. 😊
Less than 15 seconds and I'm already so happy I'm watching this video 🥰
