Don't ever feel pressured to 'come up with content'.....we love watching you create something from nothing, cook amazing meals, and quietly observe the lunatic world from your castle on wheels :)
His daily routine of waking up, making food and sleeping is exciting enough for me to enjoy thats for sure. The cooking is probably one of my favourite parts. Even if it’s a sandwich lol.
@FrozenGlade Yes, lol - Foresty is one of a kind. He's creative, a carpenter, handyman, a chef who sews, he's a fearless mountain climber who snowshoes and bikes across mountains and lands. Who else can do all that? I don't know anyone. More power to him and more safety blessings, too.
I have said this before but it deserves repeating. Your work ethic is impeccable and you are just really likable person. You are the type of person that deserves all of this UA-cam success. We all understand that it's hard work and you make it look easy, keep it up.
LOL, yes, @ForestyForest makes it look easy. Simon: "I have about a 20 kilometer hike ahead of me so that'll be a long..." Me: "week" Simon: "day." 😆🤣🤣🤣 "Give me some crusty snow." No doubt. Snowshoes are supposed to keep you above the snow and Simon is sinking in a good 4-6 inches every step. Keep on keeping on... Thanks for another memorable trip. Psst. I know what you can put in that empty spot in the back!
I love seeing FF uploads. It means he’s out there living life to his liking. I come to relish listening to him rambling on in his videos. It just feels comforting like having an old friend you meet once a week in the diner or bar to chat.
I always picture people walking by your van while you're cooking as they stop and sniff the air with a confused look on their face. "Smells like it's coming from that van, but... surely that's not possible" lol.
Throwing shade at the deceased crockpot. Eating a crispy spring roll from the air fryer, glaring at the crockpot. "Could you do this for me" ----Foresty Forest 2021
I am starting to think that foresty forest does at least 2-3 kms extra simply because he has to place the camera first, take that shot and then go back and fetch the camera. Thanks for giving us this wonderful content sir
Am only at 10 minute mark, this episode is soo Canadian. They're all Canadian, but this one especially. Little bit of everything - sewing, random-luck carpentry, taking pot shot at crock pot, snow, 'townie' revving his motor, Love it.
Wow! A summit to START!?! Plus van building,a cook,plus more building,plus a visit to a beginning van lifer,plus more building out in nature,plus a hike and ANOTHER summit? Plus four additional minutes of content? You're spoiling us,dude! Thank you!
In terms of beautiful footage, hard work, perseverance, cooking, van building, problem solving and teaching.... I reckon Foresty Forest has won the internet. Congratulations, your trophy is in the post.
5:58 Crockpot has earned a place of dignity and respect in our hearts and should not feel any less. She nourished us and never let us down. The FF nation esteem continues into retirement.
When, at video end, you were giving time, distance traveled, and altitude gain. Being americany, you said ‘1400 meters gain’. I mindlessly thought ‘feet’ 🤔 Dude, You Climbed a Mile into the Sky 👀👀👀👀 Simply Awed👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 And as ‘duly noted’ by others, “heck with the plans, let’s start building. And incredible videos of 4x4 through water puddles. 🌊🌊
Same here, I only watch UA-cam, there's so much good stuff that I'd need 72h day to keep up with everything that interests me. Look at our Foresty Forest for example, with minimal equipment he produces better content than any shit on TV with millions of dollars in budget
14:03 Foresty Forest: I don't know if I'll make it back to the van before sunset. It's a long, long way. Also Foresty Forest: I know! I'll just fast-forward through it!
Oh my freaking gosh. You've taken to the 4wd. This new ride is the star of the show. Foresty... I don't have recovery gear so I have to be careful.... Several Sketchy scenes later.... No worries apparently. But then again he tiptoes across mountain peaks.... Sleeps in sub zero temps in a tent... Slides down cliffs.... Or it could be the beer talking. :)
Don't you be dissing that crock pot! Sure, the air fryer is all shiny and new and fancy but crocky gave you a lot of good meals and vids. But seriously, awesome video and amazing scenery, you never disappoint me. Stay safe.
Don’t risk the truck, you might have some sore muscles but you’ll recover in a couple days, what I mean is unnecessary risk of damaging your truck when a walk is safely an option. Continued Success Fabrizio
6:21 Sometimes when watching these vids it's easy to forget that he doesn't have some mystery cameraman following his travels. He's got to actually get out, set up the tripod and camera on the other side of this water, get back in, drive, get back out and set it up again , rinse and repeat! It looks like a lot of work just getting a lot of these drive/walk-by vid clips.
Poor old crock pot! Years of delicious service only to be trash talked to in front of the whole world to see! I'm thinking a special episode with a lovely memorial is in order. Highlight all the wonderful meals she worked so hard to cook for FF! Great video as usual my friend!
You know, I flew over Canada many a time and couldn't help but to gaze at the huge mountains below and wonder if anyone is down there. Now I know, and I'll try to spot you next time I fly over.
Your hiking time lapses are so satisfying to watch! I live in a city and work at a hospital, your videos are a lovely escape after a long shift. Thank you for making them!!
Nice you are not scared to snow like some Van livers the live in a van for money and show ! You’re a real advantageous man foresty thanks for showing the beauty of Canada 🇨🇦 ! Sending my love stay safe and healthy !!
You know, I follow you and LTVL (Living the Van Life) and I’m following both of your van builds. While Chad’s is impressive, I must say I enjoy yours a lot more. Pure craftsmanship, joy, and you do what you see fit to make you happy. Just feels more “homey” with yours. Keep it up.
So you walked for fun about 36 KM trough snow... Omg.. I have done 35 on the road a couple of times in my live but that was hell and i never gonna do it again. Can't imagine how it is in snow and uphill. Respect man! p.s. I like the cooking part in the video's.
I have been watching your channel for awhile love it .I think people have been brainwashed with accumulating stuff and the 9 to 5 grind.A simple life is a good life and you can’t put a price on freedom !
Amazing, you don't have a kitchen sink but you have a sewing machine. You are truly amazing Foresty and have an abundance of talent. Love watching your explorations. Take care x
I know crockpot and Air fryer changes your life, it did for me, nowadays i have been using crockpot and airfryer to cook everything and I use it every single day, it wouldn’t taste as good as deep frying, but that is the compromise I am willing to take for good health, It’s good that your are partitioning the garage area from living space to save heat, you could have a folding half door in front of the rear right window, that could be folded down when you drive, and lifted up and locked if you want to use the heater, enjoy your new air fryer.
Man foresty, I love your videos! They drag me out of this boring, hard and struggling daily life nowadays, it's just these few minutes where I'm in peace idk. Thank you so much for that!
In this and your last two videos, I have loved the flying down the mountain footage that shows so much of the trail. Thanks. That was a huge outing. Give those legs some rest and good home cooking'!
one of the best van life youtubers out there. It is relaxing and takes you away from the everyday craziness of this world. Could you not get the crockpot fixed??
This was an especially rich and varied video. So many elements to it yet it has an interesting narrative. A number of things that you do are consistently excellent. One of them is the choice of music and how well it supports its segment of video. Your choices are not only really good, but they are surprisingly varied. In this video, the piano piece as you descended the mountain was a brilliant choice. It consisted of a series of long chords, but contrastingly was set to sped-up video. Very satisfying.
I love seeing people dive into a project like that. Do i get the impression that gal is an expert in any way, no. But she's out there doing it. Which is better than most people.

Fact
Agreed 👌🏽
His daily routine of waking up, making food and sleeping is exciting enough for me to enjoy thats for sure. The cooking is probably one of my favourite parts. Even if it’s a sandwich lol.
Same
This is factual. I look forward to these vids.
Dude, filming alone is no joke: set the camera pass by, go back and forth. You’re doing a hell of job. 👌🏿
Plus the drone
It seems so simple but the trouble you take to stop and set up for those shots goes a long way to bringing that experience to the audience.
Peasants - Builds custom van then goes out to countryside.
Foresty - Goes out to the countryside THEN builds his custom van.
Legend.
@FrozenGlade
Yes, lol - Foresty is one of a kind. He's creative, a carpenter, handyman, a chef who sews, he's a fearless mountain climber who snowshoes and bikes across mountains and lands. Who else can do all that? I don't know anyone.
More power to him and more safety blessings, too.
"nobody cares about what your exhaust sounds like buddy"... No truer words have been spoken.

LOL, yes, @ForestyForest makes it look easy. Simon: "I have about a 20 kilometer hike ahead of me so that'll be a long..." Me: "week" Simon: "day." 😆🤣🤣🤣
"Give me some crusty snow." No doubt. Snowshoes are supposed to keep you above the snow and Simon is sinking in a good 4-6 inches every step. Keep on keeping on... Thanks for another memorable trip.

Thanks Jen 😊 thanks for watching!! It kinda does become a community thing.
I love reading the comments too, it's like being in a room full people who share your values and interests :)
I miss meeting with friends and going to the ol watering hole to chat with strangers....
F A C T S I couldn’t have said it any better than you did.
so true, Jen 33 .. always a good day for us when FF videos are up
FF is a Canadian national treasure! He's truly one of a kind adventurer untainted by the nonsense and futility of today's materialistic society.
such a hoser...love his humour
Something to strive for.
You should check out Adam shoalts, even weirder in a good way
@@plumbobmillionaire6246 I'm a big fan of both of these guys! 😂
Poor Crockpot. Being replaced by a younger, sexier model with all sorts of upgrades. I know how it feels.
I told my wife when she turned 40nibwas going to trade her in for 2 20s, she said I was not wired for 220. Lol
😂
5:58
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Sometimes those upgrades do not last as long and may become a liability in the future.
oh baby, why did i watch you make eggrolls on an empty stomach...
Mav what's good!?
Nice to see ya, sir.
For real, I've been making burritos finished in the pan (let those ends close up) ever since a couple of videos ago. Love your channel, Mav!
Hey it's mav! Love the channel man!
eggrolls ?? nope !!!!! it's fancy steakrolls.......
"Planning is a waste of time. I'm just gonna start building stuff."
Loved that line too.
Put it ona t shirt
That's correct

this stuck with me
I always picture people walking by your van while you're cooking as they stop and sniff the air with a confused look on their face. "Smells like it's coming from that van, but... surely that's not possible" lol.
I love your vids Casey! I wish I had the sacred monkey strength :-)
Did you find the perfect camera? LOL! Just buy any Hasselblad....

I am starting to think that foresty forest does at least 2-3 kms extra simply because he has to place the camera first, take that shot and then go back and fetch the camera. Thanks for giving us this wonderful content sir
My boy Foresty got a fresh cut and trim to interview Serene and her School Bus. lol

Protect this man at all costs
Praise the lord 🙌

In terms of beautiful footage, hard work, perseverance, cooking, van building, problem solving and teaching.... I reckon Foresty Forest has won the internet. Congratulations, your trophy is in the post.
Yes the shots of his summits are awesome and he always seems to have blue skies for it.
“Planning is a waste of time, I’ll just build something” I love it!
Taking a bite and then laughing...small things/pleasures in life.
But was he laughing because it was good or because it was bad.....🤔
This guy has serious editing and filming talent! He should train any major TV stations on how to produce content. Kudos!
Thank you!
I vote that all the people with intentionally loud exhausts have to live on the same island so that they can just impress each other 24-7
i would go 😂
And shine unnecessarily bright headlights in each other’s eyes
Hahahaha 🙂
Yes get them all away from us decent people
I NOTICED !!! VIDEO IS 100 TIMES BETTER AND SO IS YOUR SOUND. I LOVE HOW BEAUTIFUL THE VIDEO LOOKS ON A BIG SCREEN TV NOW. THANK YOU F.F.
i get so pumped when i see his thumbnail. its half yay he is ok and half yay a sweet video
"He just nearly ran over a pedestrian" 😧
*eats spring roll* 😀
“Aw yup, he nearly just ran over a pedestrian.”
*Takes bite of spring roll*
lol
I was thinking.. would be funny if they are a viewer of this channel!
I laughed so hard at that lol
Foresty is just that much of a Canadian.
Lmaoo
"Let's get a beer and start building"...so many misadventures have started this way!!!
....but some good Stories....
At this point he's only keeping the crockpot around to berate it's inadequacies.
😂
It's like Wilson.
That's what I thought lol
@@stevenvargas8739 Wilson floats!, the crock pot does not!.
I know but the point is that Wilson was conversed with, like a buddy: like a chum.
5:58 Crockpot has earned a place of dignity and respect in our hearts and should not feel any less. She nourished us and never let us down. The FF nation esteem continues into retirement.
Shades of Wilson.
Ouch!!!! “Could you do this for me?” Darn that hurt lol😁
I know that was mean.. taunting a dead crock pot 😑
ROFL
A bit shocked myself to hear that
When, at video end, you were giving time, distance traveled, and altitude gain.
Being americany, you said ‘1400 meters gain’. I mindlessly thought ‘feet’ 🤔
Dude, You Climbed a Mile into the Sky 👀👀👀👀
Simply Awed👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
And as ‘duly noted’ by others, “heck with the plans, let’s start building.

I don't watch movies and TV shows anymore. Glad I'm not alone
You're not alone. I've never owned a television. 😃
True. All garbage these days

Glad to see the crockpot is still residing in its place of honor!
I swear it's foresty forests evil twin. He's low key mad. I like it.
Maybe he's manic, it's nearly spring and those of us in the north country are getting lots more daylight all of the sudden. Rad video
Maybe it's the air fryer 🙄🤔
I like it when you giggle when you take a bite.
14:03 Foresty Forest: I don't know if I'll make it back to the van before sunset. It's a long, long way.
Also Foresty Forest: I know! I'll just fast-forward through it!
Serene is adorable...
I see you can't let the Crock pot go. I understand you !
I design clothes the way you build…just keep cutting and sewing until it’s right…I totally appreciate how your mind works!
Oh my freaking gosh. You've taken to the 4wd. This new ride is the star of the show. Foresty... I don't have recovery gear so I have to be careful.... Several Sketchy scenes later....

This needs to be plastered on Merch ASAP
I see FF post and I click right away....
Me too!
Same same same
Me three.
@Scooter McDingleberry however I would not use the word weird , I’d say more like genius, authentic etc.
no hesitation
Thank you, F.F.
Thank you for showing me how beautiful the world can be.
Foresty needs to paint a floral print on the air fryer in memory of the slow cooker
That is like letting your new girlfriend wear your exes clothing!

He pointed his finger to crocky and said " could you do this for me?" i felt so bad 😭😭😭
you need to invest in a heavy duty Come-Along and some long tow straps..get you out of trouble every time and no batteries needed.
It’s so amazing scene when it snows after a clear day!!!
So you walked for fun about 36 KM trough snow... Omg.. I have done 35 on the road a couple of times in my live but that was hell and i never gonna do it again. Can't imagine how it is in snow and uphill. Respect man! p.s. I like the cooking part in the video's.
Most people couldn't ride a bike 36km on paved roads, let alone hike up a mountain that distance. Very impressive
“It’s gonna be a full day” - or two, or three, if at all, for most folks...
My girlfriend and I think you should make a video compilation of you walking back to get the camera after you do walkby shots. 😂😂😂😂
Buy a pool noodle and put it on the corner of the shelf area until its completed. Just to save your forehead from a couple funny looking marks 🤕
Haha 😄 I showed my mom this video with all the snow (she's from the desert part of Arizona) and 😆 she said "oh sh*t" 😁
I just love when you take a bite of food and laugh. I should eat so good.
Love how he scolds the crockpot... Did you do this for me?!😆
Loved seeing the pure delight & pleasure on your face when you saw the quality of the rolls in the air fryer. Priceless✌
gotta say, the van looks amazing traversing the backcountry!!!
I have been watching your channel for awhile love it .I think people have been brainwashed with accumulating stuff and the 9 to 5 grind.A simple life is a good life and you can’t put a price on freedom !
Amazing, you don't have a kitchen sink but you have a sewing machine. You are truly amazing Foresty and have an abundance of talent. Love watching your explorations. Take care x
Brave wheeling in the snow by yourself! I hate getting stuck alone.

That was mean rubbing the air fryer in the poor crockpot's face!
No it wasn’t. The crock pot died. If it had a soul, it’d be smiling down on the new replacement meeting FF’s needs.
The dead crockpot is his Wilson. I'm up for it.
Yeeesss!
Watching you effortlessly get through the snow, venturing further into the wilderness in your little land yacht makes me happy.
You are literally a living legend my man
