    I'm at a lost as to why you do not have millions of subscribers as without a producer, cameraman, sound man and 'gofer' you showcase the wilderness, wildlife, lakes and mountains in such magnificent grandeur. This was a real feat of determination and we were the beneficiaries. 🌟

      There aren't as many people who watch outdoor content as other niches, growing in this niche too is a struggle. There are a few vanlife channels that are bigger than foresty but almost all of them are under 1 million subs.

      I agree with you, but I think that Foresty's channel is unique because he crosses over into multiple genres such as vanlife, camping, hiking, mountaineering, cooking and adventure travel. No other channel that I am aware of does this. It puts him in a category by himself, and is one of the reasons, I think, that he DOES consistently get so many views on any given video. His videos appeal to a wide range of viewers with a multitude of interests. Throw in his charismatic personality and dry wit, and it is a winning combination!

    If you are still curious, the strange sound that you heard in the forest is what used to be called a "Blue Grouse". These days that species is split into two, the Sooty Grouse (more coastal) and the Dusky Grouse (interior west). They look and sound nearly identical. Where you were there is sort of a hybrid zone for the two species. That far north their ranges meet. This is fairly close to the coast so it's probably a Sooty.

    • @dustymatthews8510
      @dustymatthews8510 Рік тому +5

      My first thought too. Whenever I first encountered a Grouse drum I was on a canoe trip in Maine and didn't realize it was a ruffed grouse. Unfamiliar with the sound I assumed it was some kind of human encroachment, maybe an echo from a wind turbine or something and I was annoyed. Later when I searched for info on the sound I realized it was a grouse and now I love hearing it whenever I'm out and about in the north woods, especially in spring -- they really pound it this time of year.
