I think showing hikes that didn't go as planned makes a lot of sense. There are so many highly idealized vanlife channels that only show the highlight reels, but your theme has always been more authentic. Life doesn't always cooperate with our plans, so you might as well show what you did about it in the end.
Not only does it make sense to include the failed ones, it is outright lying to not include them. I am glad he had the integrity to post it. If you never fail at your climbs, it's because you are picking ones well below your skill and fitness level.
From what I've seen the "highlight reel" channels are fake and made by film students. The bulk of "van" channels are simply an ebegging venue, my transmission went out again, please send money boo hoo boo hoo. THIS channel is real
This was actually very interesting to watch. Because it breaks up kind of the routine what do you typically now accomplish. So it shows a even more realistic view of the risks and pitfalls of climbing a mountain by yourself. And so it’s very interesting to watch. Yes please do also show Trips like this one when you encounter very difficult situations and need to improvise and not necessarily achieve the summit.
@@AltraxX and much more honest. I can't stand it when channels only ever upload their successes, whether it's repairing a car or climbing a mountain. It is very misleading. It is really just lying by omission.
I can't even imagine how tough that hiking was. Bushwacking is exhausting, doing hours of it uphill would be a killer. Boots leaking bad. Mosquitos swarming. Trail destroyed. Log crawls over whitewater streams. Makeshift backpack (had to be painful on the shoulders). Apex predators. Impassable cliffs. Having to stay an unplanned extra night with just a handful of food left. Beer gone. Foresty is one gnarly dude.
@@edfort5704 There is no amount of good attitude that makes a zillion mosquitos swarming you a great time. They don’t bother you while you’re moving, only when you slow down or stop.
I see no "failure". We got the shrimp stir fry which looked delicious, bear sign lol, beautiful scenery, heart-stopping shot of you climbing and clinging onto what looked like a sheer mountain and Foresty Forest just being natural. I loved it and look forward to the next adventure! :)
If I may, I recommend that you start taking high end pictures and selling posters of some of the beautiful vistas. And I know I would pay extra if it had your autograph. Rock on and thanks for the best content on UA-cam.
I'm so glad you did post this. It shows how real your hikes are. At one point it looked like you were crawling Trough trees! Always a vicarious adventure watching you. You're the real deal FF
It’s okay to cook the shrimp first in the garlic butter but take them out and set aside after 1 min. Add them back in after everything else is done. I agree, these had to be over cooked.
Foresty you are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels on UA-cam. I'm totally living vicariously through you with all the hiking you do. As someone who works out in the woods for a living, I really appreciate and applaud how you are constantly evaluating your situation and questioning whether you can continue safely (not that I haven't seen you take calculated risks). In my opinion, it takes a very mature individual to say "no not worth it" and turn around and head back to safety, especially after putting in that much effort. A good, humble lesson for us all. Cheers man and stay safe.
This was one of my favorite episodes so far! definitely keep posting more like this, they don't all need to be successful summits for it to be interesting
10:33 an incomplete trip. Shows that you are still human, and sometimes Mother Nature can best, the best of us.. Great Video FF.. Thanks for taking us along..
@@XEinstein haha I was trying to tell him through the screen to take the shrimp out until the rest is all the way done.. But, if he liked itand ate it, that is all that matters.
Whether you're cooking, camping, hiking, climbing mountains, showing us breathtaking views of the mountains or even doing maintenance on your van, it doesn't matter! We love what you show us and keep on going!
This was great. I think it's super important to see safety being prioritized rather than idealized hikes. We all love the sumits, but we also love learning about the realities of backcountry hiking and climbing. Safety is often underrepresented in the 'social outdoors' space, and I really appreciate seeing it here. Thanks!
Showing the failures as well as the successes is actually a good thing IMO. Too many people on social media only show the up side of their lives and completely ignore the reality that things sometimes go sideways so you have to re-adjust or bail out altogether.
I enjoy all of your videos, nothing to do with the summits. It’s the adventure. Your helpful identification of things along the way is great. And your cooking is “icing on the cake” A day-in-the-life with you is attitude changing 😊
Enjoyed the video. Loved your "washing line" strapped to your chest. You have such a nice smile and keep us entertained . Thanks for sharing. 😀 From the UK
Man you are one tough cookie! Mosquitos, rain, thick brush, bears, miserable wet feet. Your adventures are my nightmares, but I still love watching them.
I'm never disappointed when you have to throw in the towel on a hike. The way I see it, you're better safe than sorry. There's always another day. Thanks for sharing.
@@Cutlass_Rudd Last night I watched a YT Channel for Proper Use of Bear Spray and when FF early encountered on His hike scat / black bear I shuddered then to hear FF not much tent sleep. 💩🐻👀👀👀
Eating from a sizzling skillet is better than any plate! This hike was crazy, I kept thinking how brave you are then I realized, you're brave period to live the life you live. Very enjoyable. Even if you felt it was a fail, for us dreamers it's always a success.
Forest is a beast! I watched every bike vid he has. Way before the fat bike. Off course, bushes, rivers, snow, thick brush, trees, rocks you name it he carried the bike with him. Not to mention setting up for the camera shot, riding off, and coming back in wicked terrain. Tent with him, no van ever. Came down from B.C., through Oregon to the U.S. desert. Mega kilometers distance-wise. Just WOW Forest! 💯👊👏👏👏
Incomplete hikes are still awesome to watch. I enjoy the journey no matter what. It's forests, water falls, mountains, scenery, etc., that most of us will never see either way.
Buck up Foresty! Beautiful footage and a man on a mission givin it his all! Anyone who can’t appreciate that is just a hater! Even you so don’t be too hard on yourself man!!
Yesssssss. Show us the whole show, man. At this point, most of your subs are interested in YOU and how you handle the ups and downs. Quite frankly, it doesn't matter what summit you hit or how many you do, many of us are invested in the journey itself. It's educational to watch someone say 'whoa, this isn't safe' and pull back. Another solid entry to the library. Great episode!
I've been watching your videos for about a year. It started because I was interested in Van Life. But it changed now. Now I watch you because your editing skills (when talking about editing as a way to tell a story) are awesome.
Dude, you underestimate how much we all just really care about you. Glad you made it as far as you did but more glad you made it home safely. You totally handled some unfortunate circumstances and you learned/remembered some things that are valuable to all of us. Give yourself some grace, my friend. You have more than earned it. And thank you for allowing us to come along for an amazing adventure!
When I was younger and a member of a number of bushwalking clubs, I would do six or seven exploretery walks a year On average 2 would not be doable, 3 would be doable but just to much work. I love that you showed this footage, in fact that to me is I believe one of the reasons that makes your show so good . You show it as it is .
If anything, these videos remind me to get up and go do something. I have a desk job and do things that sound important. I miss the beauty of where I live every single day. FF videos show you there are adventures to be had, if you're willing to get out there. The adventure is always in the journey.
I love watching your show. I used to live in the mountains and can nolonger go there. Your show gives me the mountains!. Suggestion. When you make your shrimp stir fry with cooked shrimp. Break the tails of to season your butter. Remove tails.. Add your sausage.. Then your vegis. Then your shrimp. Your shrimp won't be rubbery then
Thanks for sharing a hike you didn't complete. I hope you share more. For all of us that haven't made it to the peak or had to turn around its good to know its worth the try anyway. Because it is.
FF is one BRAVE soul...he talks about bears as a nuisance rather than a fear. It takes a lot of guts to sleep alone in bear country. Maybe the bears are less dangerous in Cananda? I’m from US, they are dangerous here, the grizzlies, not so much black bears.
Grizzly Bears live throughout most of Western Canada. They are as dangerous, or not as dangerous, as the ones in the very close northwest USA, northern Montana, Idaho, Wyoming. Many migrate across the border. Part of the problem in the USA is the bears are squeezed into a fraction of their former range and are in close proximity to lots of people, especially in and around Glacier and Yellowstone Parks. In Canada there are fewer people and lots of space for the Grizz so there is less stress for both.
Unbelievable. Thank you for turning around. No attempt is worth your life or injury. It looked like you had more challenges than your boots! Proud of you!🙌🙌🙌🙌💕💕💕👍👍👍💪💪
This isn't a "failed" adventure FF. It's just an adventure. Isn't that what matters most? I think it's perfect just the way it is. We love your videos and nothing will change that. Infact it's good that you show this part too. Just goes to show how difficult it really is. Call it a reality check for us. It's not disappointing to us. It was quite the video! 👍🏻
Putting up a video showing you not completing a summit is really good for your followers to see. It shows you calculating the risk and deciding that the odds are not good. It also shows you stopping on the way back to the van in order to give your body a break. All good modeling for people who could get carried away by the "do or die" motto. Sorry you didn't make it all the way, but man those lower trails were so pretty.
Love seeing this side of you. It is good to see when even the best climbers admit they realize (which is a warning to amateurs) that sometimes you just have to say....Time to give this one up. Love your videos.
I always enjoy watching your videos. You have become my favorite you tuber. I think it is because you provide a bit of everything, cooking, sewing, climbing, nature, biking, hiking, building and very little complaining. I think you show the best of humanity all in a short clip. (Please know, I realize the 12 minutes you show us took hours of filming, editing and re-editing, /thumbnails etc.) I'm also so proud you're from my home province. Please keep being your best and be safe! There are not enough Foresty Forest people left in the world.
This video was great, really enjoyed the different camera angles when you were cooking, and the over all message for me was acceptance of the experience. Not everything you set to achieve is going to work, but what you learn from the experience is what’s most important. Good job keeping it real man 🤙
Good change of pace. Sorry you had to lug the drone around all day and night and couldn’t use it. I get the disappointment but the video was solid. We like just being part of it!
As always, you being you and being real and showing everything is what brings us to watch you. It's not always sunshine and rainbow! Thank you for the entertaining video. Cheers from QC.
Actually, i tremendously enjoyed this video POV, learning more about the little ‘ends and outs’. For me, pitching tent in the ‘middle of trail’ first night was hilarious. I would have been leary of a ‘bear visit’…AND you WERE!! 🤣🤣👍🏻 (especially after eating IN your tent🤔)
And indoor everyday skill as well. A variation of "throwing good money after bad" or sticking with a relationship or job that in the future you will look back upon and your better judgement will say "I should have left it long before I did."
I dont know how you do it, I walked 100ft into the woods in Canada and every noise was a Grizzly, even after being told they hadnt seen one for 50 years in that area.
Bushwacking through still natural forest (with wet feet) and you return home with zero serious injuries after two plus days is a successful hike . The journey, not the destination is key (for me). As always, thanks for taking us along.
Good upload, regardless of which channel you choose. Good on you to show good decision making on your main channel to teach the inexperienced. Your boot dilemma is why military jungle boots have drains in them
loved it! the best videos def don't always have to be "accomplishments", I appreciated the process, the good bad and ugly. That journey is what's most entertaining and inspiring - thanks for the content, be safe out there & keep it up!

Totally agree with you
Agree
Good observational comment👍🏻👍🏻 Honing one’s ‘common sense’ through video’s like this serves purpose.
Great video. Show the wins and loses. You will gettem next time.
I can't even imagine how tough that hiking was. Bushwacking is exhausting, doing hours of it uphill would be a killer. Boots leaking bad. Mosquitos swarming. Trail destroyed. Log crawls over whitewater streams. Makeshift backpack (had to be painful on the shoulders). Apex predators. Impassable cliffs. Having to stay an unplanned extra night with just a handful of food left. Beer gone. Foresty is one gnarly dude.
Truth
You make it sound gut wrenching, but with the right attitude (that FF has) I am sure it can be a great experience...except the wet boots part, ugh :D
Yes he is, yes he is.
@@edfort5704 There is no amount of good attitude that makes a zillion mosquitos swarming you a great time. They don’t bother you while you’re moving, only when you slow down or stop.

Im fine seeing "failed" adventures. Good for learning
There are no “failures” when interacting with nature.
I see no "failure". We got the shrimp stir fry which looked delicious, bear sign lol, beautiful scenery, heart-stopping shot of you climbing and clinging onto what looked like a sheer mountain and Foresty Forest just being natural. I loved it and look forward to the next adventure! :)
@Crockpot in a van down by the river Why would death be a failure?
We all gotta go sometime.
“I missed my van, I like my van” underrated quote

Rock on and thanks for the best content on UA-cam.
I'm so glad you did post this. It shows how real your hikes are. At one point it looked like you were crawling Trough trees! Always a vicarious adventure watching you. You're the real deal FF
Universal rule of cooking: When in doubt, add butter.
100% I live by this rule!
Better that than salt, the blood pressure killer.
or don’t cook your shrimp first…
Always cook shrimp last!
Indeed. He way overcooked those

Foresty every trip where you're back in your van at the end is a complete one for me.
Exactly :).....hiking with bears around, fighting the flora, wet through.....that shot of Foresty back in the van is like....pphhheewww !
Yup! when a can of beans & peanut butter & jelly sandwich never tasted so good. :)

I probably would have turned around after the first pile of steaming bear dookie. Nice job!
Bear dookie?! I thought that was chocolate....
I would never travel alone in bear country and then camp overnight....
But hes not amateur lol
Foresty forest he’s the man who lives in a van an cooks better than anyone else can
Sweet . Well said
👍🏾😄🍻
Well... he did overcook those shrimps
@@XEinstein haha I was trying to tell him through the screen to take the shrimp out until the rest is all the way done..
But, if he liked itand ate it, that is all that matters.
sure wouldnt say anyone
Not every hike ends at a summit, but every one is an adventure.
I remember reading a comment by Chris bonington that stated "knowing when to turn back it's the mark of a good adventurer."
Doesn't matter if you reach the summit or not, we're just here to watch foresty forest live his awesome life.
Seeing & drinking from streams coursing down the mountain side like that, is in NO WAY a "fail"!
Whether you're cooking, camping, hiking, climbing mountains, showing us breathtaking views of the mountains or even doing maintenance on your van, it doesn't matter! We love what you show us and keep on going!

Foresty not finish a hike?? That’s when you know shit gets real 🔥
Despite his compact kitchen, Foresty Forest prepares better meals most of the time than 90% of us!!
Reevaluating on a hike like that is what makes it interesting. Don't know what to expect. Good one. 👍
This was one of your better episodes. No need to hit a Home Run every time !!!
Agree with all the others about liking the odd missed summit. Variety is the spice of life, they say. Other than smoked paprika, that is.
When I was younger and a member of a number of bushwalking clubs, I would do six or seven exploretery walks a year

that last minute banana addition was awesome 😂
shrimp goes in last, or cooked separate and then added to the rest, they only take 2 mins to cook unless you like rubber.
Thank you for explaining about the shrimp; once it loses translucency it is overcooked!
Was going to comment but this hike blew me away…
Hey the Foresty Forest jingle is back!

(especially after eating IN your tent🤔)
DITTO !! Pitching directly ON a game trail ? With recent Apex scat ! Cooking within 100-200' of your tent ?! & eating INSIDE the tent ???
One of my favorite episodes thus far!
Incredibly interesting to watch the process of one of these trips!
Always nice to score a free watch on the trail. Even though you didn't make it to the top, it was a hell of a trip. Really epics views.
You have climbed more mountains one handed than I will
ever climb with two 🤣
I'm so glad I was eating dinner while watching this video, because good lord that food looked absolutely delicious at the start.
Brave effort my friend. Glad you posted. Nobody can say you lack focus or determination in your quests. Keep on Rockin!

Knowing when to abandon a lost cause is an essential outdoor skill.
And indoor everyday skill as well. A variation of "throwing good money after bad" or sticking with a relationship or job that in the future you will look back upon and your better judgement will say "I should have left it long before I did."
Wow! The places you will attempt to go to. This video certainly held my attention. All I can say is "Bravo"!
