Off topic. I've started watching all your vlogs over the last few days and your talents blow me away. I now see a sewing machine!! What can you not do??? One amazing individual and so admirable. You should be a millionaire. I won't start on Rocky, if any a true match was found then it's you too. I'm in awe
Rocco adds a totally new comedic dimension to this channel. One of the reasons I love hiking with a Jack Russell is their almost endless enthusiasm and entertainment value.
I hike with a Pekingese in full coat. He's such a clown and has energy to burn. People can't believe it when the see him on the trail with me. Little dogs, even a push face like mine, can and do love hiking.
@@Capecodham Rocko does not what? Rule? No one said she did. Never mind. I saw some other posts by you. Sounds like you either hate dogs or are jealous that Rocko is Foresty's companion. Do you want to be his companion?
@@Capecodham Oh, so I guess you've read every comment I've ever made to or about FF in each of his videos. Just because someone mentions how cute his dog is in no way reflects anything negative about FF or detracts in any way about his accomplishments. My previous response to your remark still stands. You sound exactly like a stalker I had to deal with. Something is off about you dude.
Forest I just want you to know that I think your a really good person & I enjoy your dry humor & just your all around attitude towards life..I’m not a climber just a solo weekend warrior that truck camps..you do motivate me & everything thing you say I listen to & take to heart…basically just a big pat on the back to you , I hope you give yourself a ton of credit for the passion you have & motivation you give complete strangers…Aloha to you my friend
This was actually a pleasant episode, it's nice to just hang out and see what you're seeing, doing etc. Great clip of you and Rocco both reacting to the uptick in the wind 🍃
I know Steve ❤ Such sad news. I am happy he is continuing with his channel. Wifey would have wanted that. His best driveway he ever camped in was my best friend’s driveway.
You'll need to sneak Rocko into the shower with you. Nice to see how respectful hikers have been to the firehouse lookout cabin. No broken windows or rubbish. As per your usual, kudos to you always looking after your fellow hikers. So considerate.
Sincere condolences to Steve Wallis, his family, and friends. I loved the video you did together, looked like such a cool meetup! Cherish every single day!
Hey Foresty, have you considered having clear, protective film applied to your windows to keep them from breaking? (eg FlexiShield, ClearPlex, etc.) They also help with van security if someone is trying to force entry.
Foresty ........ You need a pair of chainsaw safety chaps. If you slip up and rip into one of your legs you will be in real trouble. You will never make it to a hospital in time.
They make block off's that bolt over the T-section where the lines connect that feed/return the refrigerant to/from the rear unit. Essentially removing it from the system and contain it to the front unit. I have an older version of the same van and previous owner installed them because the rear AC units are a source of constant system leaks on these vans.
Hey foresty! Long time subscriber here who never misses an upload. If you’d be inclined to do so, I’d love to hear you discuss your thoughts about what it’s like to live day to day in nature. Most people, including me, live their lives bound to an employer and repeat their routines day after day. How do you perceive life being that your “routine” is much different than others? Does nature and the wonders of your travels still feel special even though they’re the baseline of your “routine” as compared to someone on the daily work and home life grind? What gets you up in the morning and keeps your spirit alive day to day? Just examples of the kind of questions I’ve always wanted to ask you. Hope to hear you speak to any of this in a future video. Much love from Pennsylvania
YES! Plug off the rear AC line. I just watched a video about this on South Main Auto Repair , it was on an Escalade/Tahoe but very much like your Van with AC lines going to the rear. Here is a video link to that, I hope that this helps! ua-cam.com/video/o9gbxA1jcV0/v-deo.html
Hi, sorry can't help with AC. But loved the drone footage. Also loved the shot of the lake. Rocco needs to be careful she doesn't get stuck down a hole. Thank you for sharing. Take care.
Rocko, a lil stir crazy!?! 🙃 My terrier does the same if she dont go out or play enough. The short but sweet clip of the night sky, bug noises and stars were lovely. Rocko picking her own berries always tickles me. P.S. Your randomness is your awesomeness 🤓🌱❤🤗🌿
Your *_”Back To The Future”_* thumbnail was perfect as you carved a new trail 🌲🪵 _“Where we are going we don’t need roads”_ 😎🏔🐻🫐🥞🐶 Sending Aloha & prayers to Steve’s friends & family 🌈🌺🏝🙏
Also ask them if there are other things covered, my wife's wipers went out this week on her GM vehicle, wasn't re-called but was covered as long as the vehicle had under 200k
Look at you out foresting Foresty. They need to make you a ranger and pay you. Oh and we need to get you a forest-colored paint job for that sweet ride.
Hey, yeah that's absolutely not something I wanted to hear from Steve. Really sorry he is going through that. It's amazing to see the incredible outpouring of support for him. Its not an easy time.
@@garputhefork Just leaving a comment is good. Wait til he sees the outpouring of love and sympathy from his youtube family. Last I checked there was over 64K comments. He's not gonna be prepared for that.
HI FORESTY!! HI ROCKO!! HOPE YOU GET EVERYTHING SHIP SHAPE FOR WINTER AND ARE ABLE TO GET IN STABLE FOODS TO SUSTAIN YOURSELF AND ROCKO. THINK SOUPS AND STEWS. STICK TO THE RIBS SOUPS. LOVED TO SEE ROCKO AND THAT HOLE BY THE TREE. SOOO CUTE. PLEASE SEND WELL WISHES TO STEVE AND FAMILY HOPE THINGS GET BETTER. 🙏 ❤️ WELL STAY SAFE AND WE WILL SEE YOU IN THE NEXT ONE. THANKS❤️🙏❤️🙏
Regarding your AC problems. If you’re ever back in Calgary, check out Polar Mobility Research. They specialize in mobile heating, refrigeration and air conditioning. They’re starting to do a lot of work for vanlifers. They’ll be doing my Ambo conversion for me. The company president is a good friend. You might want to check them out. They are also Eberspacher dealers.
Huckleberry Pancakes! Making Amanda jelly, all she came up with was blueberries for the pancakes last vid. I remember watching you two chow those huckles in a meet up hike vid❤️❤️
Great to see you posting again. That little rascal, Rocko, is so lucky to be your dog. You keep her busy. Love that shot of her hunting inside a hole. Back to her roots -- pardon the pun. You'll get the AC figured out. Love Scotty Kilmer! ❤️
Ford Econoline owner. Living in it for 2.5 years. Water pump, o2 sensors, battery, alternator, rear brakes, cracked windshield, EGR valve, and of course… my AC went out too. When you use your van, things will go wrong. Ford, Chevy, Sprinter, and especially a Promaster. Lol.
With the total shock of hearing about Beautiful Wife, I thought about you and Rocco. Maybe you could pay Steve a visit and Rocco could be a therapy dog of sorts. I know my dog served me well and brightened my spirits on down days. Anyways, that aside I really enjoyed this video. The everyday struggle of keeping the van in tip top shape, trail maintenance and Roccos adventures were very entertaining. God Bless you Foresty and take care of yourself
I hike a biked up Joss last Sunday. We went the other route though. 10km with 1000m elevation. Very overgrown and janky. Was a lot tougher day than expected and we got absolutely poured on in the alpine. But it was well worth it. If people are hiking they should definitely follow your route. Now I'm gonna look into the summit you cleared. Thanks! Much appreciated.
Gday mate. Have to ask; Are you alright? You seem really tired, run down, lack of spark, and not your usual self. Maybe I am wrong, but this video felt like a 'forced to, to keep patreons happy'... when what you really need is some serious downtime where you don't have to worry about camera set up and shots, editing etc... I'd rather miss a week of a video knowing that you are taking some needed self-care... Just a fellow traveller and brother from another mother down under worried about you mate
Dude did you hear what Steve is going through, truly sad brother, just cant believe it, hope someone is watching after him ,too many questions as of why ,just died in morning, freaking crazy, give him a shout out an a call man ,he needs love ,an support
Those rock stacks are really annoying - Leave only footprints, take only pictures. I removed several of these from Pen y Fan (UK) on Friday night, they had been pulling one of the stone 'Cairns' apart to build them. I tried to shore up the cairn as best I could, but it's been a bank holiday over here so there are most probably several new ones built by now. That lookout was cool though, another one i would like to stay in. Happy Trails FF + Rocko.
Once upon a time McGuire Lake there was almost my backyard. Caught a lot of turtles and goldfish there. Was a great place to grow up in the 60's. Thanks for a look at Salmon Arm Foresty.
Foresty, I hate to be an arm chair quarterback, but on 5:51 I noticed that you had Rocco outside while you were filming in your van (she's unattended). Please be careful with her. You said it yourself that there are a lot of animals out there that will make her a snack. I don't have any where near your level of experience. However I learned problems like that (pet attacked by wild animal) happen when you get comfortable. Sorry to be _THAT_ guy, but I'll risk the comments unpopularity if it prevents a wild animal mauling of your dog.
Thank u Simon for all the hikers that will be using the trail ! Bears 2 too bad about Steve's beautiful wife and indeed she was beautiful ! He found the love of his life and now is gone maybe when he's better u 2 can do another video just loved the time you got together
Well, the phones will never hold their ground against DSLR or any other camera with bigger sensor or bigger lenses, they are good enough to watch basic videos on the phone, laptop or ipad. Only professionals are anal about extreme quality, but majority UA-cam videos are watched for content and some of them require better than average quality. Your videos look good on 70 inch tv and when it comes the most quality demanding content, you have your drone
For your trousers: as a Relief Engineer, all my clothes reeked of lube oil and diesel no matter how I washed then UNTIL, a friend told me to put them in the washer with the normal soap amount AND empty a 2 liter bottle of Coca-Cola into the washer also. The smells were eliminated. A Coke is powerful enough to CG eat a steel nail in a couple of weeks and to clean really stained clothes!!!
All these newer vehicles have too much electronics and break down all the time. 1978 Ford 4x4 van with 429 engine with no computer or electronics would be much better
Someone needs to make a Foresty Forest Doom clone where he fights bears, mountain lions, windego, Big Foot, etc. with a chainsaw while attempting to clear hiking routes...
Hey foresty, try using isopropyl alcohol on the bear spray contaminated pants! Capsaicin (the active ingredient) is soluble in alcohol. It might work a bit better than detergent.
Hey just came through revelstoke...thought of you as we drove though bc ...lol ...wondered are you on that mountain top ...have you n rocko hiked that one ...hehe..awesome looking pancakes 🥞
Bear spray is basically hot pepper oil right? If you're still fighting it, why not try first soaking in some kind of mineral oil and then wash with a strong grease cutting dish detergent.
Hi from a french Patreon supporter (may be the only one?)! Living in the North West country side of France, always a pleasure to follow your vids! I share my house with eight dogs, and i lived 13 years with a female Parson Terrier who passed away appromatively when you adopted Rocco, so i love your videos even more since he is with you, and i'm sure you enjoy life better since you're not alone anymore!
I had a Jack Russel Growing up. Seeing Rocko dig around in that hole was pretty great... we were always told not to let her cuz she could get stuck but Rocko is a Pro!
I m from India 🇮🇳 subscribe your channel last 4 years when we Received your notification new video live my all job one side and watch your video you are very nice soul person men god bless you 🙏
Good Morning Gulzar, I think that it is really cool that someone in India watches the Foresty Forest channel! I have been to Nepal on vacation, and I definitely want to visit India one day. When I was in Nepal, I developed an interest in Tibet and Tibetan culture, politics, and all of the Tibetan refugees that India has allowed to move there to escape political persecution in Tibet. I am very interested in Tibetan Buddhism and I have been to see the the Dalai Lama several times when he gave teachings in Southern California. I would really like to see him again in Dharamshala before he passes, since he probably will never get to the United States again due to his age. I also really want to visit Ladakh, and I watch several UA-cam channels from Ladakh. My favorite is Sonam Wangchuk. Another big item on my list is to trek around the base of Mount Kailash, the most sacred mountain in the world, which is located in Tibet. I am seriously thinking about applying to the Peace Corps in either Nepal or Mongolia because I am fascinated by that part of the world. I wish that India accepted Peace Corps volunteers, but unfortunately it does not. If they did, I would probably apply there. Namaste. Nancy Hanson
Foresty you should get some more merchandise, everyone loves my sweater. Maybe get a chainsaw/forestry management shirt since you are doing a lot of that now? Take care.
Loved watching the pup pick her own berries and then the music was so good, too. Looking forward to your next adventure. I meant to tell you that I did sign the petition Bill C-11 back when you asked us to would hate to see them make it harder for you to make user-generated material. You and Rocko (Rocco?) stay safe!
Perhaps the Samsung phone uses image processing to 'enhance' the image and that's why more people say they prefer it. I liked the Sony better, less algorithmic anomalies than the Samsung.
It’s foresty Forrest and you know that he cares, he makes paths through the forest just for the bears 🐻 lol
You just won the internet today! Thank you!

You're a great guy for clearing that trail so others can enjoy it! 👍
Hey Foresty, have you considered having clear, protective film applied to your windows to keep them from breaking?
(eg FlexiShield, ClearPlex, etc.)
They also help with van security if someone is trying to force entry.
You want to check out the legality of that in BC. RCMP (in BC at least) gets really particular with any film on the windshield.
I'm considering that on my van. Any experience with different products that you like or that should be avoided?
@@johnyang7452 The windshield is the one piece of glass that doesn't need it, it's laminated. (Layer of film between two sheets of glass)
@@camellasong9758 Cost and weight I guess, some cars do have laminated side windows but not many. I totally agree with you on the security aspect.
Love you, man. You two take care.

Thanks for sharing this adventure and for all your trail maintenance hard work.

Did Rocco get a baby wipe bath after that underground play? 😄
All these newer vehicles have too much electronics and break down all the time. 1978 Ford 4x4 van with 429 engine with no computer or electronics would be much better
Someone needs to make a Foresty Forest Doom clone where he fights bears, mountain lions, windego, Big Foot, etc. with a chainsaw while attempting to clear hiking routes...
Hey foresty, try using isopropyl alcohol on the bear spray contaminated pants! Capsaicin (the active ingredient) is soluble in alcohol. It might work a bit better than detergent.
6:05 Bye Rocko, thanks for everything.
Hey just came through revelstoke...thought of you as we drove though bc ...lol ...wondered are you on that mountain top ...have you n rocko hiked that one ...hehe..awesome looking pancakes 🥞
Thanks for taking us along this week. Always love your adventures. I’m glad you and Rocko have each other,
This channel could start its own *PAYDAY LOAN* company
I guess we could call you a " trailblazer" for clearing out those trees .. good work, excellent video....Thank you..
My air conditioning doesn’t work either if it makes you feel better. Glad you got your huckleberry pancakes.
Bear spray is basically hot pepper oil right? If you're still fighting it, why not try first soaking in some kind of mineral oil and then wash with a strong grease cutting dish detergent.
Agree, The Dawn dish detergent works well on grease. I keep a tiny bottle for serious grease removal
@@ZeldaJeanE I second that. I scrub plastics before I paint with it
Another is to apply it while dry. Not bond with water first, also vinegar on dry, oil bye bye.
Also use some 20 mule team borax . I'm sure they have that in kanucastan. I'm sure there's some type of borax soap
Hi from a french Patreon supporter (may be the only one?)! Living in the North West country side of France, always a pleasure to follow your vids! I share my house with eight dogs, and i lived 13 years with a female Parson Terrier who passed away appromatively when you adopted Rocco, so i love your videos even more since he is with you, and i'm sure you enjoy life better since you're not alone anymore!
Hey Forest, the best argument against getting a ford is to stand next to one, you can hear them rusting out!!!!
I had a Jack Russel Growing up. Seeing Rocko dig around in that hole was pretty great...
we were always told not to let her cuz she could get stuck but Rocko is a Pro!
Scotty has helped me buy and choose so many of my cars!!! Loved when you spoke his name!!!
I m from India 🇮🇳 subscribe your channel last 4 years when we Received your notification new video live my all job one side and watch your video you are very nice soul person men god bless you 🙏
Good Morning Gulzar,
I think that it is really cool that someone in India watches the Foresty Forest channel!
I have been to Nepal on vacation, and I definitely want to visit India one day. When I was in Nepal, I developed an interest in Tibet and Tibetan culture, politics, and all of the Tibetan refugees that India has allowed to move there to escape political persecution in Tibet. I am very interested in Tibetan Buddhism and I have been to see the the Dalai Lama several times when he gave teachings in Southern California. I would really like to see him again in Dharamshala before he passes, since he probably will never get to the United States again due to his age. I also really want to visit Ladakh, and I watch several UA-cam channels from Ladakh. My favorite is Sonam Wangchuk. Another big item on my list is to trek around the base of Mount Kailash, the most sacred mountain in the world, which is located in Tibet.
I am seriously thinking about applying to the Peace Corps in either Nepal or Mongolia because I am fascinated by that part of the world. I wish that India accepted Peace Corps volunteers, but unfortunately it does not. If they did, I would probably apply there.
Namaste.

LOL... @ 5:50 you see Rocco walking past in the Background.. Did She make a run for it ?
That was funny 🤣
Soak those pants in white vinegar and drink heavily while they soak, Old Scottish remedy. Blessings.
In case no one has ever said it, your a kind soul Foresty, and we are all better for it. Thank you for being you.
I agree.
Foresty you should get some more merchandise, everyone loves my sweater. Maybe get a chainsaw/forestry management shirt since you are doing a lot of that now? Take care.
Loved watching the pup pick her own berries and then the music was so good, too. Looking forward to your next adventure. I meant to tell you that I did sign the petition Bill C-11 back when you asked us to would hate to see them make it harder for you to make user-generated material. You and Rocko (Rocco?) stay safe!
Perhaps the Samsung phone uses image processing to 'enhance' the image and that's why more people say they prefer it. I liked the Sony better, less algorithmic anomalies than the Samsung.
Sad news about Steve Wallis " beautiful wife " .
