Feel like this is the only van life channel that’s really genuine. He actually lives in his van, he actually is into hiking and nature, he actually is into diy, he’s actually himself. Most of the other channels just feel like salesmen and women latching onto the van life moniker to milk it for what they can and pitch their Amazon links and wears. Keep it up bro, love ya.
They don't understand it's not about the van build or the van itself- how pretty or expensive it is...the van is a tool to be used to do what one enjoys & is very handy because one can eat, sleep & stay (relatively) warm inside, like a travelling gypsy wagon.
I again! The quality of the video is more important than the length. Good drone footage to cool music, and Rocko are what I anxiously await for every week. I agree!
The fact that one of the best filmmakers in the world doesn't like to talk on camera speaks volumes. I love the shots showing Rocko being a trooper, she's poetry in motion.
Foresty, coming from someone else who isn’t a great talker, a little socially awkward, and hates being on camera. I think that’s why you have such a following. Most people don’t want the limelight, and we really appreciate seeing someone “normal” share their life with us.
You don’t get over 340 thou followers because we want you to be like other UA-camrs. Please keep true to yourself and continue to share your life, your adventures, and your cooking. Rocko looked pretty spent towards the end of the hike. Glad they had a pup burger for her.
Rocko's leaps are legendary! You can see she's factoring in all the variables beforehand. You surely couldn't have done better for a traveling companion. #Rockostrong
You do not need to change a single thing about yourself or your videos dude, they are perfect exactly as they are. Honestly the longer ones get tedious and are mostly hot air. Just keep doing you!
awe wow Rocko, she is like a gazelle with an adventuring heart as large as an elephant. Thank goodness she's as light as a feather and her parking space is the size of a comfortable backpack yet with an adult size appetite. Great companion Foresty, such a bonus to your channel. Thank you for being you.
Great hike Foresty. Don't apologize for not talking so much....many You-tubers ruin great scenery with excessive talking or awful unsuitable music. Your imagery, music and words are just fine. Keep doing what you're doing mate. As others have said, you are very genuine and take us all to places many of us will never see. And say G'Day to Rocco for me too.. Stay safe.
Quality wins over quantity every time - and you supply that in every video. About 15 mins is the magic mark for me. Not so long as I need to set it aside for later but can jump on it as soon as I sit down for a while. Of course if you want to make more of them - that’s fine by me! 👍🏻
Agreed. I even appreciates 12/13 mins. I have, like many folks these days, a lot to do, and I have to come to things like this in fits and starts. If the video is 30 mins., I speed it up.
Forest my man, ya did it again! Every single video you put out is a journey into the unknown that I am always excited to go on! I have a physical disability that limits what I can do to an extent so I love following people such as yourself because it allows me to experience something I may not get to otherwise 😊 keep on keeping on P.S. Rocko is the absolute bestest doggo
Foresty... we love your videos as is.... no need to talk more than you already do .. totally understand.. you can use the scenery to fill in for longer periods :) appreciate your sharing these adventures with those of us (esp. me) who prolly will never get where you and even Rocko have been and will continue to go. btw.. nice of you to treat him to that burger, then he took fries.. lol so cute... anyhow, hope whatever health issues you are working out, pray all will be well and you keep safe and warm.. God bless you both!!!!!
Enough potassium is even more important, because normally people get all too much sodium, because it is added in every food! The amount of potassium should be double the amount of sodium. For more, see "Dr Berg potassium". PS. The hamburger for dogs was much healthier than that for humans because it did lack wheat and the other starches.
Simon is shy and quiet. Foresty Forrest is a guy who explores and gets outside his comfort zone, to do things we don’t get to. You don’t have to be the UA-cam guy. Just keep being that guy on UA-cam who makes me feel like us. Just a real guy, brave enough to put himself on UA-cam and do what he loves. Thanks for all the content. Stay out of the factories. And keep showing the world the new and the old. The simple and the complex.
@Ronehboy Foresty, I could help you with some dancing lessons, if you like. What is your preference? Foxtrot, waltz, boogie woogie, or my personal favorite..... the tango. Or we could just do the Hokie Pokie.
Don't change a thing about video length. Your videos are visually dense and your narration is enough to let us know what is going on. Its so easy to maintain interest from beginning to end. Keep on doing what you are doing. Oh yes, and Rocko is great! a great addition.
What an adventure! Rocko is so coordinated the way she leaps from rock to rock..Rocko is a good name for her.. Glad you both had your burgers. You deserved them. Your videos are perfect. We love every minute.
I think your videos are perfect as they are. You don't talk too much and not too little. In some of these longer videos from other YTers, they repeat themselves ad nauseam. I feel I get much more from your videos than from many others. I do also appreciate the historical info you sometimes add, like today the stuff about the telephone line and the Boulder Mail Trail.
U don't need to talk Foresty! Just walk! Love that u take us along. How on earth can u hike for TEN HOURS and struggle to put more than 10 min of it in a video, LOL!
Thanks! Your scenery says so much. You don't need to talk a lot. They tell the story really well. And now with Rocco there's almost two stories being told.
It’s funny, for a few months now I’ve consistently admired how precise you are with your words. Quality over quantity. No “ums, ahs, ers.” You’re right on point. Same goes with your amazing footage.
dont ever wish you were someone else! we love you for being you and the adventures you take us on, and a lot of us probably have a similar personality to you which is also why we enjoy your content so much
A good cup of coffee is one of life’s pleasures! Especially when paired with a cinnamon roll. 😊 This hike was epic! I didn’t think there would be so much water in the bottom of those canyons. Got a little worried that you and Rocco might get hypothermia. Glad you made it all the way. The two of you are real troopers. Your videos are the perfect length, with the perfect amount of music, voice, and gorgeous scenery. Thank you!
Dude, This video is exactly why I keep coming back. You are out there poking life in the eye. It feels like an honour to be along on the adventure with you. I had that burger at Nemo's a long time ago. It tasted good then but I hadn't hiked for 10 hours. Yours must have been amazing.
Awww, Foresty...this video was perfectly....perfect. I enjoyed every second of your very long hike. You earned every single one of those delicious calories. 😋 Rocko enjoyed hers too. Perfect celebratory meal. Thank you for everything. You look so happy and content. 👍
You do you … length is NOT an issue :). Holy Cow, the hike … not just the distance, but I think you did more than the hike distance with camera placement/retrieval. At any rate, THANK YOU!! There is so much crappy stuff in the news and then I come here and just enjoy and am thankful that there are people like you (and Rocco) to remind me of all of the beauty and kindness. Cheers - the burger looked delicious and Rocco getting that fry … priceless.
I watched this again today ... I love the nature parts, but I also CRAVE the inside the van cooking. I am a solo human (dog and cat) household and love to cook (and bake sourdough stuff). It is so nice to see another solo human making a variety of food and/or enjoying good food.
The quality of your videos, the stunning scenery, and the epic adventures make a great enough presentation already. No need to try and stretch them, they're already top notch 👍👏
I'm going to echo everyone else here; we're here to see your journey, however much of it you share is up to you. We're just glad to be included! And as far as speaking, everyone is their own worst critic. You're just different, that's not a bad thing. Your channel feels REAL, not like a clickbait infomercial.
To actually be there in person must be the real deal but I'd say you are doing these places justice by sharing them like you do. Thanks for your effort in taking us for the ride!
The videography in your videos blows every other van life channel out of the water so please dont change! You might not be a natural talker but what you do say is worth listening too, your sense of humour is top notch too! 👍🏻
This 13 minutes was more rewarding than an hour full of nothing memorable. I can't tell which of you two have more energy! Thanks again for taking us along for the ride.
Foresty, I am always amazed at how you continuously challenge yourself physically on your expeditions. 38 kilometers or 24 miles in one very long hike, with most of it slogging through water is unbelievable! I imagine that you and Rocko were both probably quite tired at the end that day! Thanks for including the views of the petroglyphs in "Death Hollow". I have always found petroglyphs to be fascinating. They make me wonder about the people who created them, and what they were trying to express. Great job!
Watching Rocko leap and bound over the streams makes me heartsick but happy...just said goodbye to my beloved Aussie, Bindi, who was an outdoor wonderdog all her life. We would always fight for the leash (a necessary evil in many parks) because she would pull you up hills. Whenever we could have her off leash she would lead on the trails then go back and wait for the last hiker in line making sure you were safe.
It's always been quality over quantity with you Foresty. You're vids are among the best on UA-cam. Your natural self doing what you do is what we all enjoy as you can see from the comments below. Thank you.
Love Rocko’s adventures!!! Love that you don’t over talk. Lose interest after awhile. You have the right amount of time in your videos. Thank you for all you do.
I think I've watched all your videos to date.... Took some time but I did it... You totally rock Brother.. Stay safe out there on your wicked awesome adventures!
@@forestyforest Without a doubt your one of my favorite UA-camrs right now... I love how you tackle all these crazy peaks... like No Big Deal... lol EPIC drone shots too... Your a LEGEND!
My good friend who doesn’t even know me…. My very first thought on this vid was ‘oooh, he’s getting sooooo good at thissss!’ So I was surprised to hear your concern about vid length & how much you chat us through them. Your super power is telling your story without having to over-tell your story. I come from media, the most important thing you have in your pocket right now is your gut instinct about the content dictating how it unfolds. Never talk for the sake of talking & never add minutes because it’s ‘supposed to be longer.’ Your power is in your edit. The words you do share & the images we do see become more important by virtue of your keen knack for this. That’s it. Sending love & gratitude - KM
A few minutes to watch your adventures is fun and I really appreciate what you present to us. I love your content. Doesn't matter that you're a quiet guy, your videos speak volumes. Keep being you!
Don't worry about the length of the videos or the amount of chatter. We who have watched you for a while know how you are, and we watch because you're you. Also, channels like @Swedwoods do just fine without any chatter at all.
You are an incredible videographer and drone video pilot. And a loving dog owner,. That scenery was worth thehamburger and kudos for getting Rocco one too!
AAAnd, just FYI, your videos are perfect the way they are. Don't put so much pressure on yourself to create longer videos. I believe all your subs are here for any content you want to put out.
FF you two could chill at the van and cook and we'd still watch you guys lol.... ASMR videos. FF and Rocko and 57k of us staring at your fireplace lol....
More important than anything is YOU! Take your health seriously, rest, Rest, REST between these marathon adventures. I agree with you on Utah. All the trips around Utah I have really enjoyed, such a beautifully diverse state, lucky you to be there lucky us to come along. Thanks Forest now REST. ❤❤❤ from Michigan
Hey Foresty, love your videos! Been following you for 2-3 years now. A quick suggestion from a marketer - bundle up all your past (and future) videos into UA-cam playlists. For example, based on location (Alberta Rockies, Utah etc.) or have other types of categories, like van build etc and have these individual videos link to the whole playlist on the upper right corner or a card at the very end of the video on the right side of the new patreon supporters list. There are quite a few people using your videos as a go-to guide, and if they're going to BC for example, a playlist of all the locations you've frequented would be amazing! A lot of these videos contain really valuable information on what to look out for, where to go etc. It's quite time consuming, but it's maybe a couple of days' work that might pay dividends in the long run (more views, since people are being guided to the next video at the end of the one they're watching and it's all relevant fo them). Or you can pay someone overseas to do it, it's pretty simple (but somewhat time consuming nevertheless) and shouldn't be too expensive. Anyway, stay healthy and keep spoiling us with some of the best content on UA-cam, no joke! Take care!
Keep being you man! I love that you have a UA-cam career as an introvert. Just keep having fun and we will have fun watching it!! You are an amazing content creator and have impeccable taste in adventure
Your videos are the right length. You pack a lot of information and interesting content. Be who you are and not like other content creators. They will be who they are.
The trails you take us on and the effort to record it all is exceptional! Don't worry about length or different content, because you and Rocko are unique .
Feel like this is the only van life channel that’s really genuine. He actually lives in his van, he actually is into hiking and nature, he actually is into diy, he’s actually himself. Most of the other channels just feel like salesmen and women latching onto the van life moniker to milk it for what they can and pitch their Amazon links and wears. Keep it up bro, love ya.
Thank you 🍻 😊
Word. Foresty is the real thing.
They don't understand it's not about the van build or the van itself- how pretty or expensive it is...the van is a tool to be used to do what one enjoys & is very handy because one can eat, sleep & stay (relatively) warm inside, like a travelling gypsy wagon.
Ya man keepin it real and authentic.
Watched nomadland last night,,I was drained by end lol I'll stick to my barge
Rocko sneaking a fry is just about the cutest thing ever 🥰
And she deserves it ... the girl did a great hike jump-crossing those rivers. 😍
She was so polite ❤
Whatever Rocko licks, it's his meal
There are those of us who think you pack more enjoyment in a short video than others put in 30 minutes. We like you the way you are!
Thank you!
Couldnt have said it any better
Fully agree
Exactly!
Agreed.
3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes… we love you Foresty! Sometimes the quieter people “speak” things that more talkative people don’t. Keep it up bud!
Thank you 🙂🙂🙂
When the “quieter” people speak, wise people listen carefully….
I again! The quality of the video is more important than the length. Good drone footage to cool music, and Rocko are what I anxiously await for every week. I agree!
Rocko taking that single fry at the end is so funny to watch. I think she earned it!
Rocco absolutely earned her doggy patty! And that french fry!
I love how the dog just looked at him eating that burger and then sneak a fry from the tray..
The fact that one of the best filmmakers in the world doesn't like to talk on camera speaks volumes. I love the shots showing Rocko being a trooper, she's poetry in motion.
Thank you, wow! 🙂
Well said. I agree.👍
If you’re new to Foresty’s channel and have not gone back and viewed all of his videos do yourself a favour and do it. It’s great stuff!
It's one of the reasons I watch . There's not continual chatter but just enough. Rocko...what a CHAMP.
I agree
Foresty, coming from someone else who isn’t a great talker, a little socially awkward, and hates being on camera. I think that’s why you have such a following. Most people don’t want the limelight, and we really appreciate seeing someone “normal” share their life with us.
Foresty + Rocko = The A Team. Best duo ever.
She’s the true definition of a “sidekick” 🐶❤
It still kills me that he named a female dog, Rocko:)
@@memorysometimers3067 Who's the sidekick, Rocko or Foresty?
@@black_eagle Foresty... Rocko has taken over the channel
@@black_eagle haha. Rocko is basically already the “boss lady” so I guess Foresty is the sidekick. 😆👍
You don’t get over 340 thou followers because we want you to be like other UA-camrs. Please keep true to yourself and continue to share your life, your adventures, and your cooking. Rocko looked pretty spent towards the end of the hike. Glad they had a pup burger for her.

Add some more b roll I love the scenery you record
Whenever he has to carry her she looks a bit crestfallen.
DONT PUT TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON YOURSELF FORESTY. WHATEVER YOU PUT OUT FOR VIDEOS IS ALWAYS A TREAT FOR US VIEWERS 😁😁
Don't worry about the lack of chatter. It's refreshing. That little Rocco is a ball of muscle. What a great trail dog!
You do not need to change a single thing about yourself or your videos dude, they are perfect exactly as they are. Honestly the longer ones get tedious and are mostly hot air. Just keep doing you!
Rocko is such a trooper. 24 miles and she can still sneak a fry off your plate. 100% trouble. 😄
🤣
And that was AFTER she had her own burger!
awe wow Rocko, she is like a gazelle with an adventuring heart as large as an elephant. Thank goodness she's as light as a feather and her parking space is the size of a comfortable backpack yet with an adult size appetite. Great companion Foresty, such a bonus to your channel. Thank you for being you.
Burger Combo Stipend!

That Rocko is one strong, confident and athletic dog. She follows your example.
Up until the water is too cold & deep or the ground is too uncomfortable. Then she must be carried like the princess she is!
Rocko is starting to be a pro at this. So dang adorable ❤
Forest my man, ya did it again! Every single video you put out is a journey into the unknown that I am always excited to go on! I have a physical disability that limits what I can do to an extent so I love following people such as yourself because it allows me to experience something I may not get to otherwise 😊 keep on keeping on

Great videos man! You mentioned a few times about your health. Maybe take a look at your salt intake. A high sodium diet could be the culprit.
Enough potassium is even more important, because normally people get all too much sodium, because it is added in every food! The amount of potassium should be double the amount of sodium. For more, see "Dr Berg potassium". PS. The hamburger for dogs was much healthier than that for humans because it did lack wheat and the other starches.

@Ronehboy
Foresty,
I could help you with some dancing lessons, if you like. What is your preference? Foxtrot, waltz, boogie woogie, or my personal favorite.....
the tango.
Or we could just do the Hokie Pokie.
You’re an absolute legend Foresty! Laughed as Rocko helped pull you along 🏞 she’s the perfect hiking dog 👍
Don't change a thing about video length. Your videos are visually dense and your narration is enough to let us know what is going on. Its so easy to maintain interest from beginning to end. Keep on doing what you are doing. Oh yes, and Rocko is great! a great addition.
Your videos don’t have to be long to be entertaining. They’re enjoyable from the first minute to the last. Stay safe you two 🙏
Thanks!
"unless you have a burger for my dog" yeah we actually do. your love for your pooch is awesome. and shes seeing more than most people will!

Cool hike. Rocko steals the show. What a trooper- she just motors along and steals french fries.
Loved Rocko playing tug of war with your trekking pole😅😅 And so polite just stealing one of your french fries.
A good cup of coffee is one of life’s pleasures! Especially when paired with a cinnamon roll. 😊 This hike was epic! I didn’t think there would be so much water in the bottom of those canyons. Got a little worried that you and

You are without a doubt the most well liked UA-camr by just being yourself. Keep on being "you".
Lmao when Rocco grabbed that fry I almost died Frosty and Rocco are a great Duo
You talk just the right amount and a few minutes of zen with you beats 30 minutes of hype-chatter, hands down!
Loved the episode. Packed the 13 minutes full of goodness. The highlight of this video is Rocko stealing the french fry at 10:32.
The quality of your videos, the stunning scenery, and the epic adventures make a great enough presentation already. No need to try and stretch them, they're already top notch 👍👏
Thank you Simon and Rocko. Your adventures brighten my day. What a great team you have become. May God bless 🙏🙏💞
Authenticity. True appreciation for Earth, solitude and experience. Incredible man. Thank you for filming and sharing with Us. I love this guy.
Little Rocko seriously has the best life ever. :)

AAAnd, just FYI, your videos are perfect the way they are. Don't put so much pressure on yourself to create longer videos. I believe all your subs are here for any content you want to put out.
Hiking for 10 hours …drinking a beer😄 Shorter & less talkative videos are a God send today. Greater content without unnecessary fullness I think. 🐾💕
Thanks again, have a great night ☺️
@Ron 😂
FF you two could chill at the van and cook and we'd still watch you guys lol....
ASMR videos. FF and Rocko and 57k of us staring at your fireplace lol....
That long hike and the double cross the streams for video content was very impressive.
More important than anything is YOU! Take your health seriously, rest, Rest, REST between these marathon adventures. I agree with you on Utah. All the trips around Utah I have really enjoyed, such a beautifully diverse state, lucky you to be there lucky us to come along.
Thanks Forest now REST.

Hey Foresty, love your videos! Been following you for 2-3 years now.
A quick suggestion from a marketer - bundle up all your past (and future) videos into UA-cam playlists. For example, based on location (Alberta Rockies, Utah etc.) or have other types of categories, like van build etc and have these individual videos link to the whole playlist on the upper right corner or a card at the very end of the video on the right side of the new patreon supporters list.
There are quite a few people using your videos as a go-to guide, and if they're going to BC for example, a playlist of all the locations you've frequented would be amazing! A lot of these videos contain really valuable information on what to look out for, where to go etc.
It's quite time consuming, but it's maybe a couple of days' work that might pay dividends in the long run (more views, since people are being guided to the next video at the end of the one they're watching and it's all relevant fo them). Or you can pay someone overseas to do it, it's pretty simple (but somewhat time consuming nevertheless) and shouldn't be too expensive.
Anyway, stay healthy and keep spoiling us with some of the best content on UA-cam, no joke!
Take care!
Really good suggestion, Edgars P! I agree with you 100%.
Keep being you man! I love that you have a UA-cam career as an introvert. Just keep having fun and we will have fun watching it!! You are an amazing content creator and have impeccable taste in adventure
new foresty forest content always makes my heart smile :) ❤
I have to say that Rocko is a formidable hiking companion that’s for sure!! 💪🏼💕🐶
Your videos are the right length. You pack a lot of information and interesting content. Be who you are and not like other content creators. They will be who they are.
The trails you take us on and the effort to record it all is exceptional! Don't worry about length or different content, because you and Rocko are unique .
Life is busy, and I appreciate that you don't put out super long videos like some content creators. You're great as you are!
Wow-Rocko’s agility is incredible.
Rocko the flying wonder dog! Amazing how she leaps across those fast moving streams. You have the perfect hiking companion!
Rocky is such a trooper! What a great life for a dog and awesome partner for you!
such fabulous scenery, thanks for taking us along. Rocco is becoming an ace climber, loved to see her getting about.
To be the person you are is the best you can be.
No need to change.
