I love your videos because they aren't fake and produced like others on TH-cam. While some people portray themselves as being total badass, you show yourself falling down and getting exhausted. That's real.
I am not a Mom, nor am I old enough to be your Mom, but I may sound like a Mom here for a second...this is so dangerous for you to be doing a winter summit alone like this. There, i said my peace, and that being said, I absolutely LOVE your videos and I look forward to watching each one. I am envious of your freedom and the time you spend outdoors. Keep safe!
100% agreed Especially if you see a recent Avalanche. He was lucky the wind was going the other way otherwise he might have triggered one. He should get some avalanche training and 2 buddys with a rope
You came up on trending about a month ago on TH-cam and I fell in love with your minivan and your journey. I just started to watch all your vlogs to when you started over a year ago and watched them all in chronological order. I will be going to Canada now for summer vacation to see what you wake up too every day. Keep up the good work my guy and enjoy your beverage.
FireStarter I couldn’t agree more, the more I see of our boy the happier it makes me feel, living vicariously through him and seeing the beautiful and truly stunning views.
Awesome Video! I looked at that mountain at the beginning and was thinking there's no way he's going to climb that without climbing equipment, you proved me wrong...Keep up the good work!!
At 3 minutes in, I had to remind myself that 'yeah, he posted the vid, he's still alive' so I could relax. Jeez, Forest. Take care. You're one of my slim hopes for humanity.
Man you are my hero. I love how you live such a lifestyle on your own. Thank you for these beautiful video. Bit i must admit, sometimes i feel really scared for you, especially that you are on your own.
3:02 Put a scare in me unexpectedly. Well worth all the hard work for the ASTOUNDING VIEWS!!! Thanks for the unbelievable beauty you so generously share with many of us not able to make it up the mountain, any more.
The level of effort to keep filming shots walking away from the camera UPHILL when you were that tired was amazing! As usual some of the best on TH-cam.
Bruhhh this is incredible. Idk why but i didnt expect him to take us on a trip like this. When he got to the top I amost started crying. Its so beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing this experience with us!!!!
I am sure his bike can survive without anyone "attending" to it ;-) he does usually lock his bike from what I have seen on other clips when he lock it to a tree and such
In Oregon, and anywhere in the US for that matter, I triple check my truck is locked even if I know I'm the only hiker within 30 miles. Whenever he leaves his gear unattended I get slightly nervous. Lol
@@nohabloemojislosiento4930 I usually leave my car unlocked in Oregon (except in Portland). The only theft I've experienced (though interrupted, so no loss) was in Canada, so I guess everyone's experiences are different, lol.
"Dead Man's Pass, that must be fun." 😁😁😁😂😂 This was AMAZING! INCREDIBLE! and UNBELIEVABLE! Seriously, how are you able to do this "hike/mtn climb" holding a camera? Your stamina has to be off the charts. In AWE! The scenery & views are breathtaking in many of your videos, but this one is like an episode National Geographic!
I hope to god he never injures himself out there on his own. Not only because I'm selfish and I want him to keep making videos, but also because we just don't want any casualties. If this man disappears, there will be a great void in this world. Hopefully I'm not jinxing it :S Thanks for the videos, Foresty Forest - I'm a fan!
DUDE... that view 💖 honestly I'm not jealous at all... Grrr.. as I'm stuck at work driving my lorry around England 🤣😭😭😭😭 Love your vids bud, even though they're not too long I really think you've got the right balance.
Randomly came across your videos and I love them man! You live such a happy simple life. Keep up the content! I live in the city and would love to live how you do!
Truly incredible to watch your adventures! I've been camping at chinook lake near there many times over the years. You have inspired me to do that climb!!! I don't know if it is in the cards for you, but waterton national park is a short drive from there. In my opinion, the most beautiful park Alberta has to offer. Best of luck on your adventures!
This video was beautiful from start to finish. But waht striked me most, was the first 8 seconds of it. Sitting in your comfy warm van, which by itself stands within a snowy natural environment, having this gorgeous view out your back window. It's like having a villa in the woods. There is nothing better than an evening winter landscape. What I enjoy most about those mountain shots is the peacefulness and natural beauty. No man-made structures, no sounds of cars or planes, no houses. Untouched nature without anybody around to bother you. That's priceless.
Thanks for taking us with you! I ice climbed Helvellyn in the UK lakes a few years ago when it was like this - amazing summit on Crowsnest - great video 👍🏻
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again I don’t know how you’re able to go out on those deserted roads alone but I’m so glad that you do and that you take us with you. It’s truly amazing that you’re able to steep climb that mountain and still record beyond that record yourself going up come back down for the camera and then do it again thank you so much what an amazing view I’m so happy that you’re having these amazing adventures stay safe and see you next time
Great stuff! I've been a long time follower of your cycling tours. Now your climbing/hiking videos to peaks in the Canadian Rockies are terrific. I've driven past Crowsnest Mountain regularly for many years...and I think now I would like to try hiking up it (in the summer). You might also give a Fisher Peak east of Cranbrook a try, but should likely wait for summer. Thanks so much.
Comparing this to your earlier videos is amazing. From surviving to living, and smiling! I'm genuinely envious, though at 6'4" probably wouldn't be as comfortable in your van!
I've watched a number of you climbs and I understand now the addicting nature of wanting to climb all those peaks. You make it look somewhat easy, and fun. I like how on this one, where one minute your laying on the snow tired and exhausted and the next your camera is up above you and your farther down, just so you can get the shot of you climbing up. For a minute there I thought you had forgot your lucky charm and then it showed up at the end. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along. I really enjoy it.
looks like you didnt have enough of the super food bacon and muffins such beautiful scenery, something so magical when you can stand above the clouds looking down on earth at the moment you stop and stare the arms outstretch and you feel you wanna fly into the distance
I bet that night was colder than normal. My grandad always said, “clear skies, shivering thighs” with no cloud cover to hold in atmosphere or wind bringing in a warm or a cold front, nights after a clear day like that usually are much chillier!
You may need to think about getting a camera to wear on your head. That hike with one hand while climbing up that steep mountain was freaking me out. Also I believe you mentioned you need to look into upgrading your van equipment. It wouldn't hurt to reach out to some of the companies to see if they can sponsor you. That way you are able to try out products that will suit you while being paid at the same time. Just something to think about. Enjoy your channel by the way! ❤
@@CANControlGRAFFITI there are small action cameras with pretty good depth technology. And it is risky to hold a camera in these conditions so it will be good for him. Safety is the first priority.
Fuc***g A Foresty! Climb well done. Incredible views up there. Not very high on a mountain scale, but plenty enough. Like the tip on turning your shirt around... never would have thought of it.
Been following your channel now since 2015, hands down one of the best TH-camrs out there. Happy to see that your audience has grown so much over this last year!
I watch your videos and can’t imagine what posses you to do this - but then to each his own. I would be concerned about it doing it alone. You are one brave guy. Stay safe.
Forest, regardless your age, your size or your income, you are a Real Man. Wow! Few, supposed men, will conquer in a lifetime, what you have taken on in abject entertainment.
In 18 months Im heading out full time on the road. Watching your hikes I have changed my conditioning program up a ton. I have added 50% more high output cardio . Still lots of weights, but more incline treadmill and Versa Climber ...
Right on. I have to keep exercising often or my endurance drops. Two weeks of inactivity is bad news. Unfortunately my metabolism is too fast and bulking up is near impossible.
Just here to make sure he's still alive. He's a national, nay, an earthly treasure.
you selfish person,,,,what about the slow cooker ? lol
He climbs mountains with a selfie stick. He’s a waterhead. But an entertaining waterhead.
@@pabsts____3964 what do u mean by that?
A youtube channel all about van life, cooking, outdoor activities, and mental fortitude. No selfies and beaches. THIS is real.
Free basing fermented grain is the perfect ending to a hard climb, well done.
Gets to the top:
"Now, where did I park my house!?"
I can see my house from here !!
Dig watching you. You have a mellow egoless manner. It’s refreshing and inspiring to me ✌️🏔🚵🏻
The Force is strong with you Foresty Forest.
It sure is!
God is with you bro...
Someone has disney+
The view from the top was GORGEOUS
I love your videos because they aren't fake and produced like others on TH-cam. While some people portray themselves as being total badass, you show yourself falling down and getting exhausted. That's real.
He’s literally smiling while falling this man is the definition of happiness
That's what i thought wish i could be more like him
@SC EM there's an App for that
No fall there, it's a controlled glissade - smiles every time! : )
I am not a Mom, nor am I old enough to be your Mom, but I may sound like a Mom here for a second...this is so dangerous for you to be doing a winter summit alone like this. There, i said my peace, and that being said, I absolutely LOVE your videos and I look forward to watching each one. I am envious of your freedom and the time you spend outdoors. Keep safe!
You're a nurse, they usually have those MOM instincts. ✌
He gets his energy from all that BACON!
100% agreed Especially if you see a recent Avalanche. He was lucky the wind was going the other way otherwise he might have triggered one. He should get some avalanche training and 2 buddys with a rope
Elaine Dickinson you’re totally right!
Not challenging enough for you? Try holding a camera on one hand.
...or leaving the camera recording you climb a difficult section only to have to return to pick it up each time.
That scenery is breathtaking. Thank you for bringing us along. Be safe out there!
Thanks bro, at 75 years old i can not do that now. I use to love it. wonderful view❤️
You are everything good about the human race

"I'm suffering so you don't have to." words of a true legend!
Glad to sit thru postmenopausal osteroperosis ads for you, Forest. I never hit 'skip'.
Epic. I felt like I was there, sans the sweaty back.
I love your videos so much. I enjoyed the virtual hiking experience while eating chips and salsa for breakfast. Thank you for bringing us along.
I was getting dizzy watching you summit that mountain, from my horizontal position on the couch lol. Stunning views!!
Hats off sir, one hand go pro and one hand ice pick plus that steep slope.
Awesome Video! I looked at that mountain at the beginning and was thinking there's no way he's going to climb that without climbing equipment, you proved me wrong...Keep up the good work!!

@SC EM foresty forest vs. goat.... I'd put my money on the former.
@SC EM He could be a gourmet goat. That sounds like a good name for a TH-cam channel. Forestry forest and gourmet goat.
He has a little device that sends out SOS
@Him Him it’s on auto
Wow that brought back memories... I climbed crowsnest mt 50 yrs ago...
Working for forestry service...
In Blairmore ...
DUDE... that view 💖 honestly I'm not jealous at all... Grrr.. as I'm stuck at work driving my lorry around England 🤣😭😭😭😭
Love your vids bud, even though they're not too long I really think you've got the right balance.
Best videos on the internet. Keep them coming.
I drive through Crowsnest fairly often, thanks for the reverse view.
Randomly came across your videos and I love them man! You live such a happy simple life. Keep up the content! I live in the city and would love to live how you do!
Amazing views and thanks for endangering yourself in those mountains and in the cold winter... stay safe out there

I think the view from the top was worth it. Wow! Thanks for sharing Foresty.
Goddamm i also feel exhausted even tho im just watching...
thanks for tagging us along your adventure and make us see these beautiful scene 👍
That was epic cold fun I'm in Florida thanks brings back memories!!!❄❄❄🌬☃️👍👍👍👍👍

I feel like I just had an intense cardio workout just watching this video. I'm so tired I might have to take a nap now. This is like virtual reality.
Thank you for taking us to the summit. YOU are incredible!
Those views are ALMOST as incredible as you are. You make it all look so fun. I love when you slide down the mountain. Awfully cute Foresty 😍🌱💙
Beautiful pano. No wonder you smiled through the whole video. Loved your "protein" drink, at the end 😁
Awesome!!! Thank you for the beautiful views! LOL at freebasing protein powder 😂✌️
That was beautifully amazing✌

Thank you for this beautifully serene hike. Love the snow.
I defrosted my freezer today, my legs are done. *opens beer* great video as always !
Somewhere on this planet, there is a guy carrying a mountain bike up a snow covered mountain.
.this seen actually have I
You can watch Iohan Gueorguiev channel for that :)

What an awesome place. Thanks for sharing such an amazing part of the world.
Another beautiful video, Foresty!!! Cheers and happy Sunday to you!! 😊😊😎😊💚
Amazing video, stay safe and keep on enjoying those views!
Beautiful scenery, nothing like that here in the dismal UK, a privilege to be at the top with you, thanks for taking me along.
THANK YOU for this climb and the views! Truly MAGNIFICENT!
Thank you FF, you’re a bloody legend mate! Here in Oz it’s 108 F, those snowy surrounds are amazingly refreshing. Epic views 🐨👍🏻
Living in the Canadian winter right now, I'd take the 108 F myself, thank you very much.
