      💯 agree. Forest is a rock star ⭐️ on lifestyle, cooking, mountain climbing only dimming when in comparison to Rocko’s light.
      Forest, will you please consider moving with a crew or at least someone else? Please tell us you carry one of those beacon thingies where people can find you. And again as a wire fox terrier owner I can 💯 say you picked the perfect breed for your lifestyle. They are relentless, loyal, fearless and happy dogs. She will make your life if she hasn’t already.

    My wife and two other women spent a week navigating their way across the volcanic moonscape of Mt Edziza back in 2011. Just after starting the trek she came down with some sort of a stomach bug but managed to complete the backpack. It was a wild time seeing caribou and bears, they even managed to get lost at one point. The ladies arrived at Telegraph Creek 6 days later and called across, as instructed, for their prearranged boat ride over the mighty Stikine River. She was 58 at the time. Pretty proud of that girl.

    I love the regular ten- to fifteen-minute videos, but this was epic, and it made total sense to do it as a single video. Thanks for all your hard work, Simon. I am always conscious that for every trip you take, you've also got to set up all the shots and take the footage that is later transformed into these experiences. It must be exhausting, and it's much appreciated.

      To a bear, a dog is just another wolf and that animal has been a bear's enemy over thousands of years. They compete for food andvterritory. Worst thing you can have with you in bear country. One nice little hors d'oeuvre to a griz though.

    Something I've noticed while watching some of your very early videos is your vocal change. I can tell, through my profession, when someone's vocal pattern is strained from talking too much. Early in your career on this channel, by the end of the day you were struggling. Nowadays you talk all day without much problems. It might be only a little thing to most, unnoticed by the majority, but it's another accomplishment on your long journey.

    Congrats on recovering that mosquito net, looks pretty thick in there. And the bears!!!
    Great captures (cool sunset capture @23:03 & Zenith @25:19 glacial fracture @27:07 to name just a few) & super content - as usual!
    Nice plug for “Fresh Trek”.
    Cheers to U & R, stay well you two!

    Friday Night at the Movies! Tonight was Epic Adventure night! Spectacular cinematography, tons of trekkin’, wildlife watchin’, sandal suckin swamps, freestylin’ Foresty, resiliently regal
    Rocko, and Canadian mosquitos trying to get hopped up on caffeine! Also, that food looked amazing!!!! They need to ship to the U.S.! Thanks for taking us along on this one. It was epic in every sense of the word!!! 😊

    You got a new intro which is nice. You know Simon. I won't see it in my lifetime, but you and your Wonder Hound will be in the Canadian history books. You just wait and see. There's not many people doing this. There's documentary it on film. You're about to write about it or whatever, but you're going to be in Canadian history. Not in my lifetime. Definitely in yours. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦🐕🐻🐻
