As an indigenous person from Hazelton B.C. who now lives in Southern Ontario, Foresty catches the beauty of B.C. in a way that seems like I'm back home, right there, where I can literally smell the cedar, campfire smoke, the crisp mountain air that has its own unique scent.......thanks Foresty for bringing Home to me every week 1500+km away! B.❤️C.
Very true what you say here.
As an indigenous person do you mind if I ask what indigenous peoples perception of outsiders, of any stripe, coming to their communities to learn about the indigenous cultures? I am Scottish and live in Scotland, I have an interest in native american culture and history. Though I do worry that I would unintentionally offend or anger people if I were to travel to such communities for the purpose of self education. It may be seen as some nosey foreign tourist.
Its hard for me to judge what is right and wrong behaviour in such circumstances. Especially as there is no such thing as a native race here in the UK. The concept is a little alien and hard to mentally grasp.
@@aspielife9323 ---- I am NOT Indigenous in Canada, but I will give a few insights. If you are respectful and considerate, and do not view them as "tourist attractions" I am sure most will not mind, especially if you do not intrude in their daily lives. But be aware the Indigenous People have received a VERY bad situation in Canada since at least the 1800's and there is still a lot of resentment about that among them. There are Indigenous Cultural centers and excellent displays in many museums which is a good place to start, casual conversations if you meet an Indigenous Person in a public place would seem to me to be a good introduction. Tell them you want to hear their point of view. Be aware Indigenous Canadians and other Canadians do NOT consider themselves "American" in any title, Americans are USA Citizens, and the USA Gov't CLEARLY states that, irrespective of any "popular" or official geographical terms. Also, is it possible the Celts are the "British Indigenous People".............. ?
@@davidmarshall718 Thanks for the feedback David. I appreciate it. ^_^ The Celts would have been the indigenous people of the UK in a manner of speaking. I am not an expert but I will give my own half baked knowledge about it none the less. Hahah ^_^ There were indigenous tribes in teh UK but through invasion and migration of surrounding european countries/tribes into the UK and interbreeding they technically don't exist anymore. Though it depends what you mean by Celts. Some people use in interchangably with other peoples in the european continent. Its a very muddied subject.
A famous example would be the migration and raids by the vikings into the UK. Thats one tribe of people that would mix with the local populace, now imagine that happening from every tribe across europe... Including the Romans.
Once BC is in your blood it never goes away mr. Apex
That puppy has a crazy amount of energy. She climbs a mountain and still has the energy to play with sticks & snow, cross creeks and do it all again the next day.
Living her best life
Yeah, that puppy is obviously doing blow 😂
Rocko Cam RuleZ!
yes but also think part of it was she was glad to be back by van/below snow/near chow time :) Even after a great adventure, glad to be home
10 seconds into this video and I'm already loving the commentary & drone footage. I wouldn't hate a forest forest 30+ minute documentary!
I’d love it!
I absolutely support this.
A Foresty Forest Documentary.....that would be insane.
His life story.....❤....
10 secs. in and I’m shedding a tear or two. I know we need lumber for building but damm it’s hard to see the after effects.
@@memorysometimers3067 Uh, you do realize the trees grow back, right?
Rocko growling at the tree stump 😂😂. Can she get any more adorable??
I was waiting for her to jump on and log rolll that sucker!
This is what make Foresty such a legend. The drone footage with the music takes me right there!
I'm liking the Rocko cam as well.
Absolutely. It's amazing. Just stay safe.
Thanks for showing this. I have been on both sides of the timber and wilderness story in the US. Sawmills have fed me and wilderness is part of my soul. I currently work to protect my local roadless and unprotected wild places. There is no free lunch.
Foresty is the Man! Thanks for all you do for us who can’t hike! You Rock!
@@K1OIK Dude, you've posted this same reply on like a dozen comments. We get it, you hate dogs. Give it a rest man.
@@K1OIK somebody was never held.
@@K1OIK Such comical anger! Did your wife leave you for a Jack Russell or a 'girly man' perhaps?
@@K1OIK yes, to the point where you feel the need to spam comments with your acidic vitriol and denigrating “girly man” insults. No need to be a jerk about it.
@@K1OIK One doesn't need be elected to be empathetic... When spitting hatred don't be surprised by one person saying "we" because it is in fact recognizable to many people that what's been said was hateful towards dogs and men who differ from a narrow point of view of what a man is. People loving on Rocko does not some how take away from the amazingness that is the rest of this glorious content; Just be happy appreciating what you liked the most instead of getting amped up by others liking something else about the video more. Lifes a lot better for everyone involved when people don't comment negatively about how others enjoy things. Much better to instead appreciate others enjoyment regardless of the part they liked most because its going to turn into money for the channel in one way or another; so more content for you to watch, why complain about that?
I personally believe you get the most beautiful shots out of any vanlife youtuber!
Better than many TV shows with large production budgets for that matter.
@@stevecastle1730 just finished a movie w the wife and I said that to her just minutes ago!
Every shot of Rocko puts an instant smile on my face. 🥰
Can’t believe how muscled up Rocco is. Built like the proverbial brick out house!!!!
The puppy has incredible endurance. What perfect hiking partners! The water crossing looked scarier than it was, I'm sure. I was afraid Rocko would get swept away.
Jack Russell's are a energy machines!! Need lots attention!
That was a raging torrent!!! It had to be almost 3 inches deep! 🤣🤣
Me too
@@fern8003 Same for me! I worry about her when she's crossing fast-moving streams.
@@craigw.scribner6490 thanks, so I am not the only one
I love that you keep Rocko's summit tally too. Both you and Rocko are machines!
@@K1OIK so guys who like dogs are girly men?? You must live a sad life.
@@K1OIK Will you please shut up about Rocko! What's wrong with you? Burt get over it..... WE ALL LOVE ROCKO!
Your videos inspire me! They take me away from the day to day sadness in life. We all just want to escape, you had the courage to do so. God bless.
I appreciate the work that goes into something like this and genuinely thank you for sharing.
I’m digging the uniqueness of these recent videos. Keep it up.
You inspired me forest be safe on your travels I hope your rib heal soon
I admire your freedom , love of nature and the outdoors , We are so privileged you share your adventures and knowledge of your backyard/home/where you choose to live. You truly inspire me.
Many skills this man has. They make for an interesting and enjoyable watch. The only downside is when the video is over and you realize what his life is compared to yours. Well, these vids are also inspirational. It's all up to us if we want to do a little less watching and a little more doing. Preach on, Foresty!
"To see things how nature designed it". You two are the Batman and Robin of adventure in the high plateau.
This video was so soothing to watch while staying cool in the 35 degree Ontario heat, having a beer, listening to the water flow and looking at the incredible shots of the mountains... best 17 min of my day!
I love when you talk to us. You don't say much, but when you talk, you say a lot.
In 1992 they logged behind my cabin, when ever I take guests out on my quads I stop in this area. Today the trees are 30 feet high and it’s nothing but beauty. Forestry works.
I just adore Jack Russell’s. Such a fun, energetic dog in a small package.
The back country of Canada is unparalleled in its beauty. Yes..."Let's hope to keep some of those places intact." Thank you for taking us to places where only angels trek. Simply amazing.
Funny with Rocco barking up the rolling log :-)
@@K1OIK And one comment from a guy that doesn't have the mental capacity to enjoy all of it.
dogs come in way before people. dogs do not kill just for fun. (people kill other people). let me know when you read about another dog shots a person should be a good read.
I said it before and I'll say it again. Canada should be paying up because you are best suited to show off your beautiful country. All the best to you and rocko.
Rocko Cam has just become my favorite thing about this channel
Back to the good old days of Foresty whipping out his gigantic meat and giving it a good rub...
...but also showing us how far he's come. There's a one-man Attenborough production crew in you itching to get out, hope you get to realise it.
Hahaha 😄
Thanks for the lol jd... I just know you're a fellow Brit with that quip!
don't be afraid to toss in a good wood joke, he's a canuck!
Very interesting intro commentary there Mr Forest, I like the diplomacy. Top notch video, great work!
Little Miss Rocko is living her best life with you. It's the sweetest thing 💗
I have no idea how you have so much energy. Christ, you literally walked up an entire mountain, through knee high snow.
The Rocko cam never disappoints.
The Land of Canada is probably only seen in such an amazing vista as with Foresty's footage.
Most of what he shows has never been shown before on film or video, and only in still photos in wilderness guidebooks.
We know it may be a pain but more Rocko Cam time ! Great Video. Thank you.
I came across your channel just after u got rocko. I have a jack and have had several over my life. Watching rocko grow and flourish is just wonderful. The scenery is just beautiful. U r living the dream. Wish I’d done a van life with a dog when I was younger. Making the videos is such an important documentation of the environment and life. Love watching (especially rocko, lol).
Rocko is the spitting image of my now 10 y/o male Jack Russel that I've had since puppy, both character and looks.
The bullying when he hadn't had enough physical activity is so recognizable and was adorable when he was young, now that he's old he'll just be a bit grumpy until he's had a go with the ball. Luckily h'es obsessed with his football (or soccer for across the pond) which will tire him out quite effectively. The recharging station usually is a water bowl after which he'll be good to go 5 minutes after. Truly absurd stamina even at his age. I always tell people that they're essentially just working dogs in a much smaller package and fully agree with you that she'd tear the house down to the foundation if left alone with a 9-5 office schedule.
Honestly in retrospect to me the golden age was when he turned 5 and mellowed down a bit, started listening and obeying to most commands: that's when the real bonding really began. Really amazing dogs if brought up well (which you seem to be doing an absolutely killer job of).
Keep up the great videos Foresty
You take me out to the Wild where I can no longer go. Thankyou for sharing your journey. It warms my Soul
loved that intro. nothing you do comes off as preachy or influencer-esk. very genuine content. safe travels
Thank you!
I love how you stay true to van life in the back country. Beautiful drone scenery
I'm :55 seconds in and I love the way you've summed up your feelings on forestry. I'd take a Forestry Forest TED talk on Forestry.
Great video again, Rocco is a great addition to channel. Thanks for taking us along on the journey.
@@K1OIK Forestry is talented and clever enough to know when to interject something new and of interest to most human beings. I think you dropped your MAGA hat on the floor.
@@markg3025 Please have some empathy for @burt2481. His wife recently left him for a Jack Russell owning 'girly man', so he's understandably a bit emotional at the moment and has posted the same comment multiple times.
I’ve seen Canada coast to coast countless times as a former trucker, but if it wasn’t for the adventures of Rocco and Foresty, I’d never see this part of our nation, thank you so much!!!! Can’t wait for another video
@@K1OIK what… you don’t like the dog? You think that not liking Rocco makes you some kind of manly man? Newsflash buddy, I like the dog, and guaranteed you’d lose teeth if you called me a girly man to my face. I’d rather the company of a dog, or a cat over persons. Don’t you see my profile pic? That’s my best buddy!!! Comment elsewhere tough guy
@@K1OIK “girly comments”…. Piss off
Love sharing your beautiful landscapes with us through your great photography!
Rocko summit 13! Got to be a world record. Go Rocko go!
Just stunning scenery. Rocko does steal the show though haha 😄
Foresty you are the Real Deal! Your bushwhacking; your snow climbing; your drone footage; your cooking; not to mention Rocko mountain climbing as well..I could watch an hour long episode! Truly amazing!!🌹
"A large chunk of meat that needs to be rubbed"
Foresty Forest 2022
I really really tried to ignore that one! Really sad to see you all did not! 😂
Re: the snow... I was in that area about a week ago. Even a couple of days ago, the province was saying that snow pack in some parts of the kootenays was over 200% of normal for the time of year.
Your videos really helped me get over my mild Covid case, isolated from my family. Felt like I had a friend! All the best to you and Rocco. Stay safe and keep hiking.
Keep your chin up king.
A tired Jack Russell is a good Jack Russell.
We can count on Rocko to make sure the hiking videos keep coming. Awesome drone footage!
I like the camera on the back of the dog. Actually a Rocko Forest channel where we just see hikes from her perspective would be incredible.
What an amazing gift you have: for knowing what you're doing and for explaining it to the layman. Thank you so much. Gorgeous dronework, too.
Nothing wrong with the opening commentary, balanced. Always room for improving the way resources are used. I remember the term "working forests" coming into the political discussion on policy in BC. It is apt. Now if we could only get first dibs on the good , straight , stuff before it gets shipped south.
Hey we no want no bendy wood down here.
@@zarb88 then cut down your trees.
"south"? only south as far as a shipping terminal to China. We here just south of the border are still paying insane prices for lumber because a lot of our production goes to Asia also.
@@juststeve7665 got to love capitalism.
Great video as always. Hope your ribs are OK dude!
Thanks, it hurts to walk haha. Probably bruised rib, hopefully not broken.
Here I found myself cheering for Rococo crossing that river! You certainly have the video editing down, great job once again!
Nature is amazing if you take the time to look. Thanks for giving us a look at areas that we might never see. Really appreciate the nature that you add to our life
The universe will repay you for your kindness and caring of Nature brother.
Also, Rocko cam footage is epic!
Great video yet again, thanks 👏🏼
Thank you for this video, and for the beautiful and breathtaking drone fotage.
BC is definately blessed and we appreciate all you share with us !! Unparalleled indeed !
The magnificent ears of Rocko! ❣️🏆❣️
Love your videos. I thought I was fairly fit but seeing you climb that mountain made me realise I need to improve. We only have tiny mountains in Great Britain so I’ll have to come to Canada to climb real mountains. Love the camera on your dog and what a tough little dog. Hope you’re ok after injuring yourself. Hopefully not a cracked rib.
The two of you make great hiking partners. Thank you for your videos.
Epic scenery, as always. Those heights and the steep places, holding my breath. Thanks so much for showing us the beauty we wouldn't otherwise see. I had to re-watch Rocco and the log a few times. Ha, that was great! Campfire ribs, yum!
Your filmography and narration has taken a step up ! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Man I'll always be impressed with the footage quality and the way you film things. Excellent vid once again
I had a Beagle/terrier mix that looked just like Rocco. I agree they need to get out everyday. Thankfully we live on 5 acres & surrounded by bush so he had plenty of wildlife to keep him busy. He’d spend all day everyday outside. We lost him in 2017… RIP Johnny. He had a great life… I really enjoy watching you with Rocco. Brings back good memories. 🇨🇦👍🏽
😳😲 those opening shots though!! ‼️💯❤️💃🏻🚐💨 Your commentary on being a good land steward fills my heart up, thanks for doing your part. ROCKO!! 🐾🖤🔥🍻
I have to keep remembering if I'm watching the video, you and Rako are safe. Great views.
The dog barking at the log was great 😊 🪵 🐶
I think I say it every time I watch one of your videos... You're a bit insane! 🤣 In a good way. I am blown away at the amazing landscapes you get to explore. Thank you for sharing your treks (and heart) with us! And love Rocko!
@@K1OIK Ha. Yes, Foresty Forest is one bad dude for sure! As I said, a little insane in some of the climbs he does. Mad respect from me!
I came out to BC over 30 yrs ago to visit my brother. After being in the backcountry for 3 days I decided to move here. No regrets. All these years and I still find new places to explore. ❤
Beautiful video. It has everything. Your little co-star is brilliant as usual. ❤️
You have it exactly right, Foresty. There are pros a cons to both a National Forest and a National Park. I'm partial to National Parks, but as long as a National Forest is being maintained properly and conservatively, I don't have any objection to those, either.
The realest van lifer there is, got everything i could ever want and need but this man makes me jealous asf lol been eyeing a van up for a while now and this guy is the inspiration.
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Roco cam hit a fallen tree, BUT she move back off to the left and rolling again!!!!!!! Love the little parts of the cam your putting dude!!!!!! BE SAFE U2!!!!
That picture of Rocko standing up on the limb was so cool!!! And I agree with everything you said!!! I didn't think it sounded like preaching at all....its the truth!!👍
Beautiful opening footage & commentary. Brought tears to my eyes. Glad the drone is okay. And those morels. Wow!!! Sending you & Rocko lots of hugs and love ❤️❤️
Keep them coming dude!
We can't get enough!
Go Rocko Go!
Appreciate the time, as always dude!
1. You film incredibly beautiful footage.
2. When you first started preparing the ribs and Rocko was beside you I thought OMG she's gotten huge! Until I remembered she's a Jack Russell and was standing on the bed. LOL would be a very tall JR!
3. Don't push yourself too hard. Remember, we're easily amused 😆
NICE! Iam on Ward Mountain near Ely. No grand adventure only attempting to be comfortable in the summer heat. The landscape is majestic however.
Wow, mad respect for you brother. amazing cinematography! Luv the Rocko cam, that is awesome!
I love your videos and channel. Please don’t change anything! What you do is so awesome. So many travel and minimalist channels have sadly become commercial channels. Too many reviews and promotions. I’m so happy and appreciative of what you do.
This guy got my big respect when I saw his video when he was building his van during the cold Alberta winter and yet he was building it on various parking lots - no garage or a warehouse !
Another great adventure! Great food, awesome hiking and the Rocko cam work!! She’s a beast!!
Your drone footage just keeps getting better! And yeah more Rocko cam please I love it cheers bud
I would love to see a "replacement planting" where they plant similar trees like they take out, and rotate in a longer visioned plan than just dropping pine everywhere like we tend to see in the lower 48 of the US.
That's exactly how we used to cook our morels when I was a kid.
Beautiful footage… loving the 4K content
Appreciate your perspective on this, a very nuanced topic.
Cheers! 🍺🍕
THANK YOU for keeping it real at 2 minutes in....! :D I kind of wish they'd leave a few trees sparsely inside the clear cut areas but I get it. Being a furniture builder I went down the rabbit hole on the "responsible forestry" thing - A lot more trees are planted these days than we hear about and forests/wood is a renewable resource when managed properly (which doesn't mean the government has to get involved), something most companies are aware of and practice as they want to continue to come back to areas where cutting had taken place decades earlier - We lose so much of our forests to fires as it is which makes no sense what-so-ever - Better to go in and selectively cut and clear on the regular. Even the ancient native populations managed their areas in this way as they were 100% aware of forest fires.... Love your content, man - You're still my favorite UA-camr
I was hiking along a clear cut up near Little Sliammon Lake near Powell River. It had been logged by an Indigenous-owned company and they left some trees standing including a douglas fir that was MASSIVE. That tree and the others will spread their own seedlings among all the commercially grown and planted seedlings, creating some diversity on the tree 'plantation'.
he's one of my favorite channels too, hope he doesnt get political, id hate to lose it like so many others
@@droid3411 He's too smart for that :)
@@jomicheleseidl2033 Thank you for that, I love it - Pretty simple to "care"
Oh to have the energy of a young pup.Rock on Rocko.🐶
The Adventures of Rocco. I can't believe how perfect she is for you and your lifestyle.
I too thought the intro was great. A lot of good points about how to handle our access to nature. Super drone footage as usual.
Im lovin the recent uploads dude, i live in invermere and its great to see people getting out into this amazing country!
keep up the amazing work!
Invermere is a beautiful place!
Roccko is a trooper, lucky dog and a she's a great companion. Love your drone shots.
I have always enjoyed your videos but honestly Rocko is the star now. She is just so cute and has so much energy! I always knew JRT were super energetic and she proves it.
Electric, construction, sewing, video..your skills are infinite. The way you pulled off that membrane on the ribs was done better than many chefs or bbq pit masters I've seen!
Foresty you’re such a legend 🤩 and I’m loving Rockocam 🐶
I really enjoyed that intro foresty. You should do more of them.. History of the location you are in.. blah blah.. put it all together. Think it would make some really good content. Thanks again, I used to live in BC. My second home, really miss it. Beautiful peaceful place.
It's been a rough spring in the Kootenay's weather wise. So much rain!
