"How the American's hunt moose." You made me laugh out loud! 😊
Little dogs have such amazing, indomitable spirits. The first time I hiked the Appalachian Trail in 1979, one of the hikers with whom I crossed paths found a tiny little mangy dog on a roadside. He nursed her back to health and named her Wayah, for a nearby mountain. She made it with him all the way to Mt. Katahdin. Rocko reminds me of Wayah. May she always hike her own hike, and be loved. Thank you for sharing her, and your adventures with all of us!
And Jack Russels are well known for having a big heart
What happened to the dog?
@@glennbeadshaw727 No idea. The hike was over, and I lost track of most of the people. But she was a doughty little creature. I’m sure she lived a long and happy life. She was certainly loved.
That leap Rocko made from rock to rock over the stream was epic. You could see her mind working as she was contemplating the execution.
Shes a smart girl! So entertaining to watch her find a way thru the wilderness!
@@forestyforest The best great little companion
Absolutely..Such a great companion 👍
We know now she's a lot of things....a long jumper is not one of them.
Is there a Guiness Record for a dog that reached a mountain summit(Rocko #25 and counting )?
Rocko little girl, you rock!❤
I love how you always make sure Rocco is taken care of; you’re so sweet with her and she pays you back many times over.
It is amazing that Rocco is such a fixture now that I can't imagine Foresty without her. She is a star.
Absolutely right ..The perfect companions
*Truly man's best friend* 🐕🐕🐕
It’s her channel now!
@@datagrl Yeah, Foresty is the sidekick,
Don't let Rocco explore alone. A friend's German Shepherd snuck through a grated mine opening and fell down a shaft. I wouldn't wish that grief on anyone!
It was cute and funny seeing rocko climb back into the sleeping bag, as you was trying to pack up lol
I was just about to add a comment about that🙂
Exactly😊
How about the attempted brook crossing ????? I laugh at this dawg the whole video.
@@AZ-vt7dt
IKR!?!! She was so adorable with her intrepid spirit! I rewind to watch that several times. 😍
@@K1OIK These unhinged canned comments posted on any comment mentioning Rocko are just funnier and funnier. Foresty loves Rocko, not you burt! It's hard, but you just have to accept it.
Simple suggestion. Next time you're in town go to the nearest toy store and buy some cheapo glow in the dark stickers. Then put a few on your bear spray or whatever else you think you'd need to find in the dark.
You're the best kind of person, I will be taking this advice.
@@tengonadacluewhatsgutsprec1419 Glad you liked it!!
Happy 4 years living in a van Foresty Forest, thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Thank you, time flies!!
Casually whips out sewing machine out in the back country! Casually tells the bear to F@#& off and it does. FF: Summit 169...Rocko:25! 🏆🏆🐾🔥🌲👍😎🇨🇦
7:14 LOL "That settles it. I'm definitely in the USA, that's how they go Moose hunting up here (F-22 Raptor)" Love Foresty Humor !
Rocco curled up by the fire was the cutest
@@K1OIK lmao Foresty knows we love him! Pretty sure he's not getting bent out of shape coz his dog is getting the attention!
@@K1OIK are you 5 years old?
My two favorite additions you've made to your videos are Rocko and the wood-burning stove.
The F22 American moose-hunting quip just cracked me up 😂😂
The fireplace is a staple of the van now
Forestrys super chill adventures wins 🏆
I had a partner like Rocco for my hikes, but a wolf got him during a hike. He ventured off a little too far. Rocco is having a good life, keep her safe out there and always enjoy your time with her.
it's interesting to see the old mines, but it's sad to see all the pollution and trash left in nature...
Agreed, an embarrassing human scene. What would ETs think...🤢🤮
The sewing machine! I love it!
8:17 score one for Rocko on the cheese nab!
Amazing how much use your sewing machine gets. Thanks for sharing so much with us 👍
I don't know which is more impressive, how well that machine sews or how well you sew!
Rocco needs some little boots to protect her paws on rough terrain..maybe foresty could make 2 pairs for her lol 😂
I love the spirit of exploration blended with the healthy caution that says, "No need to go any further here." Thanks for showing us. (edit for spelling)
Have zero interest in mountain climbing...but I love this channel
The preservatives in the pie will keep you looking young for years to come.
Rocco is the best addition ever to your life….. you two always look so comfy in the van, cooking 🧑🍳 & eating , the lit stove, and packing/camping in the wilderness-- I get very excited when I see a new video🍿🏞🌎🌟
you came up as a suggested video-----4 minutes in and I hit the Subscribe Button! I instantly love your vibe! Dogs, van life, camping, hiking, gadgets and dude, you whipped out a sewing machine! looking forward to some binge watching! Thanks so much, Randall
You've got plenty of treats in store! Foresty is endlessly inventive and adventurous! He also has another channel, Moresty Forest.
Loved the ghost town footage. Awesome. Thanks for breathing in arsenic to share it with us.
This old Grandma from Florida sure gets scared for you. It sure is beautiful up there. Take care. Thank you.
Hope you are all safe and sound there. Some really bad hurricaines.
Alaska! You’re an animal!
Man! I feel for little Rocko in the snow. Poor girl! She needs a little coat or sweater.
Rocco is pampered and loved ! I have pugs now but can see myself loving a jack Russel :)
Foresty I thought I’d pop in to tell you about a life saver for pup’s paws in the snow! If you’re not aware of Musher’s Secret you should definitely look into getting some for Rocko! It’s a thin wax-like substance that keeps Ice from forming between their pads and also protects them a good bit! I just love her!❤️🔥🐾
Definitely! I use Mushers for my dog makes a world of difference!
That sounds like something every winter pup should have. Where do you get that?
@@susiefraser9182 yes, it’s a must!! I had gotten mine years ago at a pet supply store in Vail, CO, but I see that they have it on Amazon!
@@itpatriot Thanks very much.I shallow look for it.
@@susiefraser9182 🙏🐾
Rocko is becoming a huge star on UA-cam. Rocko might need her own channel on youtube soon.
Like Cruz Chromes bulldog.:)
You mean this is not already her own channel?
Do you think Rocco could edit?
@@CarrieRay The Rocko outdoor channel is coming soon.
@@Dempsey222 lol-no doubt, she is a well-traveled dog!
Completely different vibe in Alaska. That snow looked a little wet. Always a good and safe feeling when you can light up the fireplace when you get back. Rocko is always up for something new, very cute.
8:16 to say that Rocko was paying attention would probably be the understatement of the year.
Congratulations Paulo H! 👏👏👏
What did you win?
A big WFOAS?
@@Jon-jk8vd How did you know?
That was a cool idea with the watch.
Yea, the damage and waste that mining companies cause then just abandon and leave behind is a testament to the boom and bust mentality of resource extraction companies......Get the Gold then skip out on the clean up. Thanks for the great videos Foresty, keep on rolling. 😎❣🌎
I agree ..but tbf those buildings have probably provided a good shelter for many hikers over the years ,so I guess that's one possitive
North to Alaska, North the rush is on! Cheers Foresty!!
You are becoming one of my favorite duos to follow.
The dedication to your camera shots are epic
Just watching you climb up that last push I just realized how hard it is with gear and camera, Thanks again for your time and the beautiful shots. Oh ya the cooking!
And don’t forget… a dog strapped to his chest! 😮 I can’t watch- only peek through my fingers 😱
All of those Boston Creme Pies were manufactured in 1953 at a CIA instalation in the south pacific. There are only so many left
Gotta respect a man who knows his way around a sewing machine. Wish I had one. Thanks for sharing.
Yessss! Best channel on UA-cam :,)
Rocko's first international mountain trek.
The more i watch these videos, the more i understand why so many people who live alone / remotely or vanlife has a dog. It's just such an amazing companion to have by your side.
Foresty Forest is the GOAT!
What a great human being and dog 🐕🐕👊👊 keep going bro 👍👍👍👍
8:18 Reminds me of one of the cleaning bots from Wall E ... A soon you spill something they come out to clean :D
Tears in my eyes watching you bite into that pie...love your dry humor. Thanks again!
Was not expecting a F-22 Raptor stealth fighter cameo. This episode cost $300 million to produce.
They are based up there as interceptors I think. Lots of videos out there of them “escorting” Russian bombers that come by for a peek.
Weekend starts out right!!!
Always enjoy my vicarious hiking through your channel.
"That's how they go moose hunting up here"🤣😂🤣
Another great video Forestry! Keep it coming!! Also, your pooch is stealing the show! Rocko did not hesitate to grab that piece of cheese that fell. She's so cute!!
THANKS :) I and my son really like watching these updates!!!
Okay, I’m in Texas and I have never seen that pie lol I really loved you exploring the mines! That was so cool! Thanks so much for sharing 💜
You and Rocko are superstars. Beautiful scenery.
Foresty Forest a True Adventurist who has no fear. Not even wild bears a foot away. There is no happier dog in the world. Thought my guy was loved and spoiled , but Rocko carries that title
Poop near camp that usually deters them.
Welcome back to the USA! Thanks for enduring the cold winds on top of Noyes Mountain to get those gorgeous views of the endless mountains. The Nabesna mining site looks like a really interesting place to explore. Gold rush history and the relics associated with it are fascinating.
Really glad that the bear decided to leave you alone!
I can't imagine becoming a "mountain snob" 🤣 And moose hunting with a military jet! 😂
We always enjoy your videos. 👍😊
😆😆
The struggle is real
I’d say you balanced that Boston creme snack with your salad quite nicely Foresty. I always love seeing the beautiful scenery on your videos. Hugs and love to you & Rocko!❤️
Beautiful footage as usual!!!
Beautiful beautiful country!! Thanx for sharing. Rocco is living the best doggo life ever! She's a free spirit just like her dad
Hey Forsty forest what an amazing video and climb the scenery was incredible you and Rocco always make my day you guys are so much fun I always look forward to your videos I’m glad you made it down safe and sound thanks for taking us along looking forward to your next adventure🇺🇸♥️🙂🚐🙏🐾🐾🚐🇨🇦
Thank you!
Same sentiments here. I was getting very worried that it seemed so long since the last video. I am very happy with another one of these awesome contributions to my well being. Yes, I love the dog, but I think Foresty is the best!
Alaskan Amber is one of my favorites, even here in Arizona! I’ve visited the brewery in Juneau. I took the tour and bought a hoodie!🍻
Loved seeing how the mountains are different from the Canadian Rockies.
it is a beautiful sight, but makes me feel cold looking at it. Rocco is such a trooper .
Foresty , I really enjoy your videos as I'm a big camper van life fan. I've seen tons of them but I would like to tell you one thing. You are the only one who's got a sewing machine in a small van - so unique and handy at the same time ! All the best !!!
he's been sewing since this channels ancient times
@@Jon-jk8vd ...true but I just felt like to make a comment on it tonight
@@richardrich4320 🍻
May I just say Simon...
Patreon since I convinced you to start one....Ever PROUD PATREON !
YOU KEEP GIVING & PROVIDING MORE & MORE & MORE & ETERNALLY MORE MINDBLOWING CONTENT!
YOU ARE A TRUE #CANADIANHERO SIMON
THANK YOU FOR SACRIFICING ALL YOU HAVE TO DO THIS UA-cam CRAZY 😱🤪😋
Welcome to Alaska!! Happy to have you visit, been to Nabesna a couple times, need to go back. The Skookum Volcano trail is a great one, but I know you like the ones that are less traveled. Although there’s not that many people on that entire road this time of year. Funny what food other people think of when they’re visiting somewhere, i live here and I have never had one of those pies. I don’t even recall seeing them before Lol
1 min in and I'm stoked for this experiment. Thank you Simon for your hard work and sharing it with us!
The world needs a Rocko cam 2.0! 😊
Great videos, keep up the great work. 👍 Alaskan Amber is the best. Even better on tap.Just got back from a 3 week trip to Alaska, can't wait to go back. Safe travels my friend.
Another excellent video Foresty. Your attention to detail for great footage is always appreciated.
Rocko is a joy to watch and it’s adorable how she always goes for your lap or inside a warm blanket.
JJ's pies are the BEST! Especially the Boston Creme. Until now, never really thought about its lack of packaging. lol
Glad to see back in the north - these places are honestly incredible.
Thats very cool. I was in that part of Alaska in Early June. We drove down the Nabesna road to the first campground. We stayed for a few days. We then road our bikes to the third creek crossing before we turned around. Way too deep for our bikes. Met some locals and had some beers. You're lucky now you don't have to deal with the mosquitoes. Love the videos. Keep them coming.
Thank you, i bet there are some interesting folks living out there!
That keg is pretty cool. The Salem Oregon Sick's brewery closed in the early 50s.
Awesome info !
You are great. This channel is great. But, Rocco is by far the best thing that’s happened since the build out. Keep this up. We love you
Really enjoy your adventures with Rocko.Being up close to a bear 🐻 didn't phase you!!!Thank you for sharing Diane 😀 🇬🇧
I love when you bust out the sewing machine!
This was a good video! I love the Rocko data! Seeing the mines is both interesting and disturbing. The view from the top of the mountain is beyond beautiful.
Make me want to learn some sewing. Looks dead useful.
It looks cold and windy. 🥶 Excellent drone footage. Absolutely gorgeous scenery. Rococo is the queen. Treated like royalty as she should be. Thanks for sharing.
I read somewhere that Alaska is the favorite place to fly for Air Force pilots.
The cold dense air holds more oxygen, and makes their jet engines more efficient.
aka "FASTER"
My dad eats those chocolate pies almost daily..well at least twice a week..he just turned 90...lol .well preserved!
Thanks for the adventure, I was in an office today.
I especially like the Drone footage with the Shades of Gray!
Guy leaves the van behind and start hiking and there's a perfect road ahead stretching for miles. 🙆🏻♂️
PS: ☕
FF is a kilometer snob
I'm so jealous! I miss living in Alaska and have wanted to get back there for a long time.
I thought I was tough, then I see what you do and WOW. Be safe. Pup is adorable.
Absolutely breathtaking views of the mountains. I worry about you and Rocco each and every time! You deserved that pie.
Sure did!
Great trip!!! Enjoy Alaska. I love that state. Thanks for the mine tours too, very fascinating and intriguing. Stay safe, and give Rocko a few scratches from me!! Till next video!!
U can get a gps collar for ur dog that will tell u their distance travelled aswell as if she wonders off you can signal the collar to trigger and make her come back
I’m always amazed of your hikes, so impressive. I continue to enjoy your videos. Love Rocko your hiking buddy. Stay safe
Rocco is such a great companion for your amazing hikes and her ability to keep up , spectacular views from the top of the mountains and yes indeed looked very cold, cool to see the fighter fly over and the old mine ruins so interesting. thank's always a pleasure to watch.... Ontario
When I was a kid back in the 60s, we used to drive out to the Nebesna road, hike out and establish a hunting camp with another family. One night after a successful moose hunt, we were gathered around the fire when we found ourselves visited by two black bears, which were easily scared off, and a grizzly which wasn't leaving without fresh meat, either one of us or part of the moose which was cut up into quarters, covered in game bags, and hoisted up in a tree. The bear was shot and added to our winter food storage. We broke camp at 4 am and hiked back out to our vehicles. Everyone was responsible for helping carry out our rubbish, camp gear, tents, etc. even us little sprouts while the men hauled the meat out on sleds they pulled. As a child growing up in the sticks, I am always surprised by how little wildlife appears in your videos. Where are the moose, foxes, wolves, etc. ?? You do include shots of wild animals when you come across them so I figure the absence of abundant wildlife must be the result of overpopulation and too much predation by humans, especially trophy hunting. Thank you for the extra time and effort you put in creating your videos. You and Rocco stay say safe.
Alaska is amazing. Your vids show us parts that most of us will never get to see. Rocko total hearmelt.❤
Thank you for your dedication in documenting all of this for us! Stay save and dont change my man. :)
That old Ford truck sure brought back memories.
