@@BuckingHorse-Bull lmao i love the idea of a youtuber paying helicopter crews to do aerial shots but its a remote control drone, they arent that expensive to buy anymore
Just a man and his dog, casually climbing a mountain. What incredible views from there. The music added a nice touch too. Thank God for drone technology
Your drone footage captures the immense scale of the landscape more than any others I've seen. I often get a true feeling of breathlessness when watching your footage. Absolutely superb.
That switch to drone footage with music on the summit climb was on another level. Love seeing the glacial ribbon tracks and thanks for the extended panorama 🏔️
Rocko and Foresty living the dream. Every other channel seem to have a commercial push vibe but not here. That is why I enjoy and keep coming back. I googled Girls Mountain and Rocko's there! Along with Foresty.
Freedom is owning property that is within your means. What do van lifers do that make it financially? They buy property. My husband built roads and developed property for many years in Alaska. Including our own. At 65 he could retire in Interior Alaska on our homestead with zero monthly payments and no property taxes. There is a senior exemption on property taxes. We don't have to drive anywhere to hike, ski, ride ATV's and snowmobiles. etc. We disable the keys, no point in having them. My husband made his own trails, it's legal here. It took 14 years before he saw another person out back of our place. I have been here 16 years and have seen one person, one time on our trails. It was our closest neighbor. We give permission to cross our land to get to the wilderness out back. More than 50 million acres of it. You have to stay in shape, it's serious business being ten or twelve miles out at 30 below zero and your machine breaks down. The farthest he has had to hike back is 22 miles in the snow. Just six miles for me. But I was 8 months pregnant and it was indeed 30 below zero.
Your drone cinematography above the summit is spectacular! It would be great to see a compilation of your favourite 5 summits with just your drone footage.
I don’t know if there’s anyone who always brings the most spectacular shots then you Foresty! Tell me if there’s a happier dog in this world then Rocco, your channel has progressed into an incredible vision of earth!
Simon this post was fantastic. All the elements I love - the drone footage, the meet up, Rocko, and Louie. Hope you have a wonderful stay in that neck of the woods.
My mind was blown; great content.Everything is just expansive and large graphic and untouched. Thank you for being trustworthy and honest. Beautiful video and very real. There are still unknown mysteries in this world. Thank you for showing a part of it
Hiking, biking, backpacking, paddling, skiing, climbing… you're my favorite vanlife channel because it's loaded with outdoor activities, adventures and quality videoery😁 some other vanlife channels just drive alot and talk alot🗣
Glorious views from the top... and the piano just melds so well...almost haunting and some how heartbreaking.... yet reminds me of the sheer beauty of the natural world..Thank you again for your work, Foresty
The sequence of aerial shots starting at 8:23 are among the best drone photography i've seen. That initial side-view of you hiking in the bottom of the frame provided the perfect reference to demonstrate the grandeur of the mountain ranges filling the rest of the screen. Beautiful shot!
I am wow struck with the views from the summit! If it weren’t for you taking the hike, we would have never seen such beauty! Thank you Foresty for sharing awesome scenery that we normally would not see otherwise. Love you for it.🙏🏻🥰
LOVE YOU SIMON ❤ THANK You for Being such an AMAZINGLY Person & making the WORLD A BETTER PLACE for us ALL❣ You are CHERISHED, IMPORTANT & ESSENTIAL 💯 ✌🏽🙏🇨🇦
Wow Foresty Forest such a beautiful video! The shots of you on the mountain were incredible along with the drone footage, such breathtaking scenery, Loved seeing Rocco bounding thru the alpine! So cute asking him if he wants to go for a walk, then summit a mountain 😂 I have been binging your videos for awhile now and this was definitely my favorite, well done ❤ Thank you 😊
Yet another beautifully filmed video, the drone shots with the piano tune were epic! Cloud berries are great and are considered a delicacy here in Scandinavia. We mostly make jam from them. I do agree that the taste is hard to describe though :)
Amazing view! Thanks for sharing! I was captivated by the immensity, and how small the terrain makes a person feel! Cloudberries - I learned something new today…
Just got back from a week in the mountains. Every time we saw a big white van my kids (ages 2-12) busted out the “forestry forest he lives in a van” song. You know, only about a couple hundred times a day.
That was fantastic! I loved the family of ducks, staying together in the currents. I also really love your skill with the drone and your ability to cut the shots in to make a video that had me sitting here with my mouth open for parts of it. This one was particularly beautiful- the sun and the clouds with the glacial ice and all those mountains!
Man I always love your drone footage, and your music selection is always on point. Nice gameboy btw haha that thing is rad. Bit better of a screen on it than the original.
So special to meet some great vanlifers. And you don't see white- water ducklings everyday. That was fun! That huge lip of snow at the top of Girl Mountain had me musing and spellbound as to it's power to hang without being it's own weighty avalanche. Oh, bouncy Rocko made me smile. Thankyou Simon.( FF.). T.
just watched a Bob Wells vid yesterday... 2 of my faves in less than 24 hours, don't get much better than that... FF your drone shots are sooo unreal, I would love to be standing there just taking it all in, so envious of you.. thank you again for sharing your life with us, such a life well lived smooches to Rocco the rabbit dog... boing, boing, boing
Not much room in Anchorage. It’s crammed between JBER, the Chugach and the ocean. It has a huge homeless problem, too. So, people are concerned about parking. Once a person parks for a night or two, it soon becomes a new homeless camp.
I am such a fan of your stunning cinematography, the always beautiful soundtrack, the lovely pupper, and your guided tours. Thank you for sort of taking me there. 😍 🐕🏔🏔
That particular area is lawless. It’s always been that way. Ever since the Butcher Baker serial killer buried over 26 bodies there. Just bad luck you stumbled into Jim’s Creek. It’s the first semi-remote area outside of Anchorage and it draws the gangsters.
Wow, magnificent, ethereal, and just wow!! Thanks Foresty and Rocko!! Tell Loui and William hi for us, and sending good vibes for her jeep to be up and running again!! 🐾🐾💚jul and family
1. Love Rocko's "joy jumps"!! 2. Thank you for taking us to the mountains - my favorite Lord of the Rings quote "I want to see mountains, Gandalf." Thank you!
Rocko’s leaps and such beautiful cinematography ❤❤❤❤
idk how foresty does it but im sure most of his capitol goes to the helicopter shots he does in the videos. regardless money well spent

Rocko's grass hops had me laughing out loud!!
I love the piano with the aerial views
Truly relaxing. I don't know much about the sources for the background music, but am pleased that it's an option.
This is by far the best van life channel on you tube!...
I have to agree, yes. I am surprised that it took me that long to find it.
The pictures this time are unreal. A dreamscape. Thanks for taking me mountain climbing Foresty!
I agree! This time was particularly stunning.
Absolutely stunning ❤
Yeah! Mindblowing scenery in this area!
idk how foresty does it but im sure most of his capitol goes to the helicopter shots he does in the videos. regardless money well spent

.......helicopter?
😂🤣😆
I think this is my favorite aerial shots. So beautiful FF. Rocko hopping like a bunny is just precious. Take care.

The MAN The MYTH The LEGEND!!!
Rocko prancing through alpine meadows is heart warming. ❤
I love Rocko! 🐕 ❤ 🥰
Rockos jump and fly routines are the best

Me too! Seeing Rocco was precious!
Keeping it down to earth!
Love from Taiwan. Thanks for your latest episode. What a spectacular view.
Thanks again 🙂🙂🙂
“Want to go for a walk?” has a bit different meaning than when most people say it to there dog! 😂😂❤
😂 my thoughts exactly
Way to go venturing out of your comfort zone and accepting the Bob Wells interview!
idk how foresty does it but im sure most of his capitol goes to the helicopter shots he does in the videos. regardless money well spent
@@BuckingHorse-Bulldrone shots?
Sure. Literary license@@witteney3334
Lol. It's all drone shots... Not helicopter. I love all that footage too. @@BuckingHorse-Bull
@@BuckingHorse-Bull LOL he has a helicopter he keeps on top of his van
Thanks for all your good work providing these videos. I do not take
it for granted.
Simon those drone shots were incredible! The music really amplified the beauty. Thanks for bringing us those amazing views. Breathtaking.
Thank you for all the vicarious adventures and your willingness to expose some of your true self to your audience.
The sounds of that gentle rain hitting the metal roof of the van was just perfection
So great to be able to fly the drone and let us really drink in that scenery. Ha! scenery is such an inadequate word. It's sublime.
Thanks Simon! Missed you brother. Sorry I got busy with a shed build, work, and kid life! Hope this little bit helps!
Thank you Jeremy, hope you're having a good summer!

Nature said, "sweet Simon come and enjoy the view."
Thanks for the extended aerials, tis beautiful.
Wow my night just got a whole lot better! Thanks FF and Rocko!
I have to say all that trash made me cry. I'm happy you took me to the top of the mountain. Thanks. Hugs to Rocko.
you make amazing videos! your hard work is apparent. thank you.
Your drone cinematography above the summit is spectacular! It would be great to see a compilation of your favourite 5 summits with just your drone footage.
Bro you’re such a good person and wholesome dude. I really appreciate being able to watch your channel.
I hope you find your freedom soon, Foresty!

Beautiful drone footage. Wow, Rocko really had the zoomies !
I like how u asked Rocco if she wanted to go for a “walk”. Her “walks” are way more adventurous then most other dogs are.
Simon this post was fantastic. All the elements I love - the drone footage, the meet up, Rocko, and Louie. Hope you have a wonderful stay in that neck of the woods.

9:20 What a view!
You ain’t kidding.
Thanks a million Foresty & Rocko...spectacular sights & camerawork. You two really are the 'dream team!' ❤🐶😊
Thank you for the drone shots of the spectacular mountains and glaciers. Loved watching Rocko skip across the meadows and snow.

Underrated comment!
This feels more like an adventure channel and I love it. You really get out there!
10:45 wins the internet for this week. Or month.
Thanks as always, Foresty, for allowing me to live this life vicariously through you.
I am wow struck with the views from the summit! If it weren’t for you taking the hike, we would have never seen such beauty!
Thank you Foresty for sharing awesome scenery that we normally would not see otherwise.
Love you for it.🙏🏻🥰
omg. Jaw dropping beautiful vistas. Thank you for summiting Girls.
Awesomely beautiful drone footage with sublime music juxtaposed with celebrity nomads and trashed camps. Loved the views from the top. Thank you.
Great story telling and the best drone work on UA-cam. Thank you.
That mountain scenery was stunning! And I loved watching Rocko leaping. Perfect combo
LOVE YOU SIMON ❤

Your freedom is on top of the mountain!
Even after the chillest week at an Oceanside cabin on Gabriola, coming back to your concise, cheery, accurate theme song makes me smile…:)
Your “wonder what is up this mountain “ vids are better than any planned hikes I’ve seen! Thanks for bringing us along!
the perfect escape. Thank you!
Such a beautiful video! Peaceful and serene. Thank you and Rocco for sharing this amazing video. ❤️
Always a pleasure to view your videos. I usually watch them several times. You have great adventures.
Thank you for taking the time to do what you do, Foresty. Your videos are an appreciated escape from the day to day monotony.
Incredible beauty! Well done! Excellent cinematography. Rocko is a hoot.
That's awesome you ran into Bob! Look forward to his video! I hope it draws a lot more subscribers for you! You deserve it
Surely do enjoy your content.
Great to see the van still going strong. Loved the views from the girls Mt. Just so majestic. I think Rocko enjoyed the hike as well.
Nice going on that Girls mountain find! There's a reason you're my favorite Vanlifer.
Beaut area. Girls Mountain a winner. Jealous of that giant Newmar motorhome at 4:30, what a place to set up.
Just got back from a week in the mountains. Every time we saw a big white van my kids (ages 2-12) busted out the “forestry forest he lives in a van” song. You know, only about a couple hundred times a day.
2:45 - what are the chances .. the GOAT Bob Wells sighting with Forestry Forest!!!
It’s truly a small world. Great episode!!
Great drone work. A pleasant diversion after a stressful day.
Nice cinematography and music from the top. Very meditative
Always look forward to watching your videos! Been part of my routine for a few years now! Awesome to see how the channel has grown and progressed.
An actual OMG! The places you go, the experiences you have and the visuals you provide... THANK YOU!
This one was special. Thanks so much. Made my heart soar! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Simon, your videos are awe inspiring. Thankz for sharing you great climbs.

OMG, some of those drone shots gave me the heebie jeebies. But so beautiful.
How you doing, love your mountain climbing and cooking, can't get enough of it
Glad you are showing off Alaska, the scenery is amazing. Thanks for the pointers on the difficulty in finding overnight spots. Bob Wells!!!
