Best vanlife channel. No lame couples pretending they're having the time of their life, no clickbait chicks in swimsuits, just straight up a guy in the woods camping in a van
Probably the most realistic too
I really do absolutely love this channel totally humble guy and isn't a clickbait channel and let's be honest he is in way better shape than anyone who watches his channel
Id be tired riding that bike to the store lmao
Seriously can climb any summit and still talk to the camera 😂...I would be dead
I agree fully...
I don't think he actually meant physical shape. I think he meant he can survive because of this NWO totalitarian society being implemented via planned fake virus and media incited also planned riots.
IKR. At least he's not in a bikini posing just to get someone to watch his videos.
I'll tell you, what makes you distinct and stand out Foresty Forest is your genuine personality. It's the kind of personality we used to see on public television from hosts who truly loved going out in the wilderness, building houses, or yes, painting pictures. Dry humor, wit, and a joy for living the good life. Everyone... let's keep Foresty out of the factory!
hes cute even tho he sounds like a 13 year old teenager lol :P
That's a great observation, you put your finger on it for sure.
Yes I LOVE THE DRY HUMOR! But really love it when he laughs at something he says
Makes my day!
Your vids are getting better and better. I can see you're working and exploring hard, yet keep the edits quite short. Nice job🙌
Grill mysteriously disappears and the slow cooker isn't talking.
Thats hilarious. Hahahaa
Foresty's Malaxer is running the show now.
Maybe he left the slow cooker behind at the campsite in exchange for the grill.
No, he just unpluged the slowcooker, and bunji cordded it's lid shut.
My friend...i am mexican, but I spent many years in Canada, so, I love your country...let me tell you that the way you're preparing those tacos are the real mexican style...you are unique man...keep doing it.
seriously, i havent seen anyone since my grandfather make carne asada over an open fire like that
I am American I’ve been to Mexico a bunch and I have to agree with you the way he made those tacos was supreme eres todo madre Forest
Tupperware tubs for marinating
@mike h Yup, should be spelled Rudi !
Your masterpieces have reached southern Africa man... people think I'm crazy when I tell them about your vids...you're living the dream man... living the dream...keep it up...
Also I watched all your videos...
How is south africa? Are they still killing white families every day?
@@iwannabethekid34xc Nothing changes here
@@paulbester9516 check out the alternative hypothesis. You'll like his stuff
Solomon Kane zamn. Killing white families 🌚
@@shaanbae6096 It is a reality that is slowly encoraching upon white americans, too. This is why ethnic nationalism will define the future of 21st century politics.
You need a camping chair to sit and enjoy all the good food and beverages 😀
The ruined building had me in awe. The fact that it is just sitting way out in the mountains is just so cool.
@@Christina...66 At that time and place, probably not a lot of machinery available for the task. Most likely teams of horses. Poor animals.
Thousands of years ago, caveman put leftover ribs in an earthen pot. He put herbs and salt on it and left the pot on a rock pile which he never saw had embers under it. He thought he'd cook it later as he'd take a short walk to the river. The short walk became eight hours because caveman fell asleep under a tree after the swim. As he went back to the cave, he was sure his ribs were spoiled rotten. Alas! That nice sweet smell of tendered juicy meat encountered by a human for the first time. The first slow cooked ribs! The caveman's name? Jungly Jungle.
Epic.
K THATs HILARIOUS ‼️‼️
True story!
Hey kid! What do you want to be when you grow up? Kid: “an explorer, a hiker, a chef, an inventor, a welder, a biker, a lumberjack, a vlogger, a comedian,....”. Come on, be serious? Kid: “I’m Foresty Forest serious.” 🇨🇦💙
Word.
LOVE this!!! 😊🤙
That’s an awesome comment!
Best comment ever👍🤗😂👏👏😊
"I want to be a Foresty" will be a thing for future generations!
As a Mexican-American, I can tell you our carne asada tacos are second to NONE. You learned from the best Foresty
Every time I watch this kind of video I feel like I'm not doing enough with my life
I agree more foresty more better..
Me too 😓
Chapter 1 WHERE SHALL WE BEGIN?
I feel the same. Sat in the lorry in the UK, feeling I need something more in my life.
Nice old cabin. Can’t imagine the effort it took to get the wood to that location.
He makes me want to do this even though I've got a wife and child.. i can't imagine how amazing of a feeling it has to be to always camp and literally live wherever you want
I’m an old lady and could never keep up with this kind of adventure, but I still love seeing how you do it. I’m watching your vids from my comfy 5th wheel home. 😁
That's awesome!
We can but dream, he certainly is an adventurer. Foresty forest is helping me thro the UK's lockdown 👍
@@NoSecondSeason me too!
Foresty is my spirit animal he said “I should save some of this chicken for tomorrow, but I can’t stop” 🤣
Resistance is futile
He needs a lot of proteins with all that activity, so that was just fine.
Zamn rooight 😤
spirit animal - new age and bullshit belief.
You know where's he's at😂
This guy is amazing. He's a one-man exploration team, a one-man cinematography team, and a good cook on top of it. I wish I had a fraction of his energy!
He's not human 😂
He’s so humble! “Thanks for keeping out of the factory”... thanks Forest for keeping it 100%
News was so depressing yesterday and today. This video came at the perfect time. Escape to the mountains!
shyra7480 I live here and am impressed with the footage he gets!
"Having to get creative in the kind of things that I'm chasing..."
Man you could literally do the same hike in every video for a month and it would still be entertaining.
Foresty Forest living a golden life. He seems like a good dude to sit down and have a couple of beers with
The drone footage of the surrounding mountains was truly amazing.
Thanks for taking me away from the rioting and looting in Minneapolis tonight, Forest... Even Global News had to report on it... Soooo depressing, but you always provide a grin.
That drone shot on the top of Mount McNeil was like a scene from Game of Thrones.
Look at God's beautiful work, Breathtaking mountains! Thank you FF for this wonderful video, food looked good too 😜
Your videos are like an oasis of zen in a world of chaos.
That still rings true a year later.
“The road ended on the map but not in real life”. Truth
"Thank you guys for keeping me out of the factory and on the trails..." And that is exactly as it should be. That mountain footage is spectacular! You are so well suited to these adventures, Forest, and you keep getting better. Not to mention those cooking skills...so good. Keep doing you, Forest. Safe travels and much joy to you. We will be here watching! Thanks for all you do to make awesome content.
History is interesting. Seeing the reality of how remote the areas where they mined really puts the era into perspective. Thanks.
the peak views are stunning, and there's no way most of us would ever see this in person, thanks for sharing your good health and ambition with us. love the cooking portion too
Was watching another video and went to see what was new in the subscriber box and BOOM! New Van life! Stopped another video immediately and turned this on!
"The road ended on the map.. but not in real life" - this guy is deep without even trying.
"no slow cooking in this video"
I may not be able to recover from this.
Margimot I know right 😫
He left the slow cooker for the grill
Lol...stews are better during winter time and bad weather. Grilling is for summer time and nice weather. And his batteries were almost flat.
@@milcotto4153 100% right
he's burning his battery running the new fridge. Mr. crockpot might get a little dusty over the summer.
Love all of Foresty Forest's adventures. The way he presents his journey's to us is ALMOST as good as being there with him. His smile, humor, love for food & nature keeps me here 😊🌱❤
I got chills when I saw those squach prints.. wow 👏
Bear tracks
Yeah they were bear, but it was me that got him to make mention of BF from time to time. Especially when he slept in that mountain cave. Adds a bit more intrigue to the adventures. dontcha think.
@@jimieljoseph2322 Grizzly Tracks................
Greetings from Patagonia. I have only seen a fraction of your videos, but I am enjoying this the most. Thanks.
Man, I've been hooked on your videos for the better part of a week now. The music, camera work, food...it's all amazing. You've definitely inspired some mountain adventures around Alberta for me this summer. Cheers
🙋🏽♀️Hi Foresty Forest! Always look forward to your vids ... thanks!!!
3 cooking scenes in one video! Wow 😍
The amount of ground you cover in a day - both horizontal AND vertical blows my mind. I'd say something about your massive serving sizes, but you clearly burn tens of thousands of calories a day with that level of exertion. Inspiring. :)
Just when I thought you were hitting your stride with these videos, it turns out you were just getting started. The quality just keeps going up and up with each installment.
Hello foresty, since marinating is your new thing you should try marinating some salmon with honey, maple, garlic and soy sauce. cheers brother, keep up the good work :D
the coolest minivan on the road!
At first I thought these videos were of a young guy, just moving around the city, trying to stay warm in his mini van. Little did I know, as I delved farther in. Holy smoly!!!!! You are amazing!
I’m liking and commenting before even watching because I know it will be awesome 👍
After watching this makes me realize just how lazy I am.
It's not? Sweet!
I want some Doritos
Right? Yesterday I made a Tik Tok and took a nap.
I love mountains so much. Thank you for sharing.
Foresty the legend always mind blowing pics from the summit...thank you..
Always a good day when he releases a new vid
Legendary Foresty Forst
I don't think I've seen Forest smile so much in one video! Glad you're loving life man!
Dumfound with the scenery! 4yrs went by in a blink of an eye! Your production keeps steady and creative! Long live the mountains and stay in prosperous health Foresty!
Loving the longer videos lately! Really helps fill the void of not being able to travel myself 🙃. Keep living the adventure my friend!
buddy! i just sat down to eat dinner after a long day of work and after having a heatstroke two days ago. seeing you uploaded a video made me say f yea. thank you for the content!
You don't belong in a factory Foresty! Giving us a window onto the world we'd never see otherwise. Blessings.
For some reason, my wife is uncomfortable with me being envious of a guy living alone in a van. So now I am having to stop your video or close the tab quickly when she walks in but when she catches me doing this she thinks I was watching porn. You are ruining my marriage Foresty.
So funny. LOL
Foresty is a very lovable guy. People love to watch him cook, talk, & travel.
We live vicariously through you, Foresty. Foresty is also a very handsome man too. 😍 ❤️ 💕
Hahaha , but he’s great to watch love how he cooks too.
Maybe she's worried you will take up cooking?
Lol!
Tell her you will take her with you when you go
I’m so early the slow cooker isn’t even here yet
Foresty Forest has to have the best ratio of likes to dislikes on all of UA-cam. 700/1! Unreal
I can see anyone disliking his channel its about as non offensive as it can be, maybe that don't like that he is independent and doing things his way?
@@bikecommuter24 There are always people stewing mad every night and they stare at the ceiling thinking of ways to ruin someone's day.
the 4 dislikes are misclicks
Now it’s 1.8k likes and only 5 dislikes
@@Swimmeralex4 2k and 5!
Its cool to finally see my name in the credit list. 16:38 for those that care, Big Mike T. Awesome Carne Asada meal dude. It looked scrumptious.
What a beautiful country we live in, god I need to get out of Toronto!
Tell me about it... lol
Nice skyscraper views 🤣
hahaha i live in toronto m8 and im looking up ''mountains to climb near toronto'' as im watching this video :D
Do it! Lol
@@mohameddamiche1761 I hear ya!
The griddle was an amazing find. Love it when stuff gets re-used rather than thrown away. Your channel is unique - so many different aspects to your life. Well done you! (PS the porcupine was a massive bonus!)
Anyone else get a lowkey ASMR vibe ? Like how just peaceful and relaxing his videos are
Keep following the sheep tracks and you are showing things most of us could never see otherwise.
This is about the eighth of you videos that I’ve watched and it’s true that your drone footage is of epic proportions, love the camp cooking and that your helping complete the mapping of these areas you visit and your determination to bring all of us with you through the camera
Thank you. The drone footage has been a success. Really amazing piece of technology.
Epic footage!
Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
foresty forest is the best
Picked this video randomly to rewatch. I don’t remember this one at all. Looks like it’s time to go back and rewatch the entire Foresty catalog.
Foresty coming in clutch with the upload!
Literally
Really glad that so far, your outdoor cooking sessions have not received a visit from an uninvited guest, of the four legged variety! Good to see you keep the bear spray close. By the way, you didn't burn the chicken, you put a nice char on it. Great videos sir.
I am naming your van The Tardis. It always looks bigger inside, you never appear cramped and I am awed when you always have the right item on-board. NASA should be begging you design space craft.
When ever you want Mexican recipes just ask me I will gladly give u real authentic Mexican food recipe ... The way you gave the tortillas that karate chop 😂😂😂😂
Looks like we will be seeing quite a bit of campfire grilling in the future videos. Great stuff ForestyForest. 👍🏻🌲
The fact that 75-80%(if you consider the roof to be 30%) the cabin is still usable speaks volumes this is amazing and if i were someone with excess money I would be rebuilding this and a few other structures to go with it.
I was thinking damn, you'd need a helicopter to get building supplies here... but they built it 100 years ago with the basics. I imagine a couple months of hauling in wood and supplies you could do it.
Such a refreshing break from reality and all the stupidity in the news.
Horse that's sister awesome awesome video and you cook so good the simple things in life aren't they great they just make life worth living God bless have a wonderful day
Watching your videos make me nervously excited (especially hiking and biking parts). Also nice drone shots and ofcourse the cooking 😁👍.
It will be a sad day when mrs chevy van finally passes away, if ever!!!
But I'm curious what he would do with an an E-150 van or something similar
If the engine dies, Foresty is going to replace it with another crock pot. And it's going to work.
@@emc3254 I'd say fuck that and definitely go with somthing similar. Nothing against Ford I've just worked on many and there is better options
TOYOTA SIENNA!!!!!!!!
@@AL_FARID_23 exactly our a honda odyssey. Easy more space and just as if not more reliable then his current. And more storage inside of you go south a first gen they are bullet proof
I was up there about ten years ago and was pouring on bug spray in the summer. Your smart to be there when it is still a bit cold
My mate (who kindly introduced me to your channel) and I have been doing regular 14-16km isolation walks throughout the pandemic. We always feel we've earned a beer (or two) at the end. After watching your epic treks, Foresty, I'm beginning to question that...another great post. When your jacket flapped in the summit wind I almost expected a "shamone!". Thanks again for letting us travel vicariously through you.
I stumbled across your channel about 80k subs ago, looking for small van and SUV builds as I camp in my Forester! So thankful I did, always a pleasure!!👍🏻
Honestly, one of the best channels on UA-cam. Thanks and keep it up.
I don't know if you read the comments, but good on you man. Your van is awesome. I hope you're healthy and happy! That's all you deserve, cheers from Montreal
Thanks David!
Forest, the evolution of your channel is simply amazing! KUTGW.
The inside of your van reminds me of the space shuttle

Yes, one reason I love his van so much!
Man, do I wish I could get myself to have your life. Keep it up. Loving at least watching you live the life I want.
There is no other channel like yours. You are absolutely too quality. Photography, cooking, everything. You are so gifted. Thank you so much for an amazing video.
You are definitely in real good shape as seen when you hiked the mountain recently. You weren't breathing at all heavy. You simply could just keep going and that was impressive. I weigh a lot less due to way better healthy eating and I could be the same fitness level if I was to really work at it. Previously, being heavy, no chance.
hey forest, watching you here from the philippines.. Keep it up..
I escape with forest when the news keeps telling me how to feel.
news bad
nature good
The news manufactures fake problems to distract you from real problems.
@@pwmvsi you'd be correct. I don't have time to watch TV news but I read my phone which I should stop doing as well
Lots of love for Forest in these comments. Absolutely thrilled I found his channel, and don’t remember how I did. He’s so nice, calm and fun to watch. Plus he will message you back if you ask good questions!
i'd love to sit and have a few beers with this guy around a camp fire. His stories alone would be amazing. What a neat, chill dude. Great show Foresty.
great vid.... something good to take my mind of things, here in the US....THANKS!
Love this channel! My life dream has always been to live the van life and maybe I will get lucky and be able to live this life
Dude, you are an impressive human.
Snowcapped peak ascent, bike river crossing, gourmet cooking, awesome drone footage.
Any one of these could be a (lesser) vid. That they're all in the same vid is insane.
One hand on the ice axe, other hand on the selfie stick while ascending. Epic!
Thanks for the inspiration!
Magnificent! I've stood on the top of Mt. Whitney in California and looked out over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I thought it doesn't get any more spectacular than that. But I think you topped it here.
No problems keep the videos coming and will keep watching love the content always makes me hungry
Great to hear you just the term "it's a bit nippy". Thought it was just a British thing.
Blimey that's a lot of meat.. but having said that, one does burn thru the calories on the fat bike and hikes.
Great video shots ...
Stay safe and have fun.
"Stay out the meat factory"
That Autumn Winds track with the beautiful footage put a tear in my eye. Very nicely done.
Thank you again for giving us a respite from the world.
Always look forward to your vids...be safe out there 😎
