No AI can replace Steve Wallis; we must treasure what we have while it's real. It's the undercurrent tone/emotion and (back) story of your life that endears an audience to you. The camping is nice, trees and all that, but the man is the reason. and I'm not even a terribly frequent viewer, but I recognize the value in you (and Foresty Forest). Be well Steve.
Let's break this down: 1) Sitting in a van, in a gravel pit, 2) making a sumptuous breakfast, 3)setting off to perform excellent stewardship on the trails with adorable, trusty side-kick , Rocko! 4) fords a COLD creek barefooted 5) hiking like a complete mountain goat - with trusty Rocko! 6) takes us on a tour of a mining site I would never, ever have seen in real life, complete with excellent drone footage 7)returns to van with Rocko, both in one piece 8) cooks a scrumptious gourmet dinner. 9) finds time to do a book review with us 10) excellent shot of that gorgeous girl to wrap it up! All of the above in just 11:22 mintues! Foresty, you and Rocko are just absolute treasures! I've seen posts that were twice as long and only 1/3 as interesting and entertaining. Thank you for your hard work to share with us. You efforts are very much appreciated! Ya'll take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next adventure! 🧡🧡☺☺🥰🥰🐶🐶 P.S. I live in a house, work a 9-5 job and the very best I could manage so far today is a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread for breakfast! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don't worry about AI, Forest. You are clearly one of the best and authentic storytellers here on UA-cam, and your videography and your drone shots are out of this world. You deserve millions of followers. Keep doing what you have been doing, please!
I don't know. One of the big sticking points for this screen writers strike is AI. They are terrified of it, and for good reason. Just about all the AI experts are also pretty worried about how it will effect the future. Being good is no longer good enough.
@@RippSnortin I see it both ways. I would compare it to the industrial revolution. A lot of people were put out of jobs due to the cotton gin, machines, etc. But we are better off for it. However... the scope of things that ai can do scares me.

Also, I'm a computer programmer and converse with AI every day. No reason to fear anything if you like this channel at all. AI and being into adventure in the real world are two different worlds I live in daily and it all makes sense in my life. These worlds don't need to converge, but it is perfectly fine if they do on occasion. I think of AI as a tool who can help me accomplish a goal quickly. It's really good for assisting you, but only if you are clear about what you want to do and know a thing or two about how to do it. If you are clueless, you won't understand how to have a conversation with your AI assistant and you'll probably get frustrated. But if you know a lot and can challenge the AI, you get where you want get very quickly. This take will make a lot of sense to some people, and mean nothing to others.
Good to hear the Foresty Forest theme song! Absolutely amazing drone shots. “Mother Nature is a meat grinder” is a very accurate description. Both meals look so yummy! Thanks for bringing us along. Sending you & Rocko lots of hugs and love ❤️
I have been watching your channel for the past month and I have to say you're a breath of fresh air. Keep doing what you're doing. The people love you and Rocko/Rocco . You and Luke Nichols (Outdoor boys) are my favorite outdoor UA-camrs. Keep it up Mr. Lambert!!
Who needs AI when you can see how exquisite reality is and see “mother nature is a meat grinder” in all its harshness. Another interesting segment of life with Foresty and Rocko.
So much goodness in a short 10 minute clip. Hiking, biking, cooking, camping, cutting trees and pet loving. .Super cool. What more could a person ask for? Great movie as always.
A simple video? Holy cow this one ticked off every Foresty Forest box. Starts with the jingle... and the rest goes off like a perfect domino. All the longtime Simon fans know what I'm saying.
YAAAAAY!! The intro song is back. I’ve been missing that. Also how smart was Rocco to sit back knowing Forest will be back for the camera. Another great vid Forest, thank you.
Good to see you and Rocco are doing well. I like the part of the video where you rode off and Rocco took a step and was like I'm not going up there he has to come back to get his camera 😂 salmon look awesome too! Cheer's ❤️🐶👍💯
My Dear Lone Wolf, You are one intriguing dude. You casually drop a big one by saying "I've talked myself out of everything I have to share for now " You'll share when you're ready. Godspeed.
Love your vids. I had a sim sitch of media over stim and odd health stuff. I got it from moving into a new built apt. The off gassing freaked out my limbic system for a while. Wondering if your ish happened after building van?
The Foresty Forest theme song is back!! YAY! Rocco is such a cutie, I loved it when she hung back while you rode on, like she was saying, "hey you left something here" :)
Hah. When I saw that colourful artwork for the first time, I thought back to my teen years and the crazy posters with the black light on. Nice outing and grub ! 🌲🤙
Prefer the Real Deal of Foresty Forest! 💚🌲🌿 Trail maintenance is inspiring!! The day may have been gloomy but you & Rocko definitely brighten ours!! Sending Aloha 🌴🐳🩵
Amazing how mother nature takes everything back. Once again, thank you for sharing these remote and beautiful places that we are so blessed to be a part of
Love this video. These places that existed in history, yet few people get to see the remains. And you are the brave one to go get the footage for all to see. Wow! I love it. ❤
FINALLY...a video for the rest of us- something we can all relate to: rocks, Rocco, van-life, and an air fryer. Damn....looks like I'm buying another appliance. GREAT drone shots per usual on ANOTHER epic hike- that NOBODY else does!!!!
I'm preparing my van and my life and soon, very soon, I'll be ot there exploring. Thanks for the inspiration and the honest videos you put out. Hope to see ya out there one of these days. Safe travels
Hey Foresty forest that was a fun video. It was a beautiful spot. It was cool seeing that old Mining cabin and the drone footage was amazing. You and Rocko always make my day. You guys are so much fun. Be safe out there. I look forward to next video.🇺🇸♥️👍🙂🙏🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦
HI FORESTY AND ROCKO!! FINALLY THE THEME SONG, LOVE IT. I SING IT TOO. LOL!! DID YOU RECOGNIZE THAT ROCK, IT LOOKED SOMETHING LIKE A DOG, MAYBE ROCKO? YOUR BREAKFAST LOOKED GOOD, SO DID THAT SALMON, NEVER TRIED IT WITH THE MUSTARD AND BROWN SUGAR. LOOKED GOOD. FINALLY COOKING IN THE AIRFRYER. ROCKO LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS ENJOYING HERSELF ON DADDY'S WINDOW. THEN DIDN'T SEE HER. JUST LIKE MOST MOVIES I FIND MYSELF LOOKING FOR SOMETHING. LIKE INDIANAS WHIP OR FIVALS HAT. WELL, THEY ALL TURN UP MYSTERIOUSLY. HA HA HA!! THANKS AGAIN AND STAY SAFE.❤️🙏💋🙏❤️
That breakfast and dinner looked so good! I wrote down what you put in the salmon dinner. I also enjoyed the hike up to the old mining buildings. Just to think of what they must have looked like when they were working mines is interesting. Just a side note, I lost my dog of 15 1/2 years in January and watching Rocco just makes me smile. Safe Travels
I'm on my ebike almost everyday, but its a full size. I think your sized ebike is better equipped for being in the forest, hence Foresty Forest....take care and keep climbing !!
Luckily for me. I can't stand the big popular channels with millions of subs. I find them banal and irritating. Your channel is awesome, no populist crap.
Wow that was quite a hike up to the mountain to see that abandoned site. I wonder if you ever experienced any ghosts in some of those places. I would love to see a video dedicated to Rocko and what y'all do when you're not hiking. She's just so cute and I'm telling you she's ripped from all that running and hiking she does! I've never seen a Jack Russell that muscular! 😃❤️ Your cooking is great too.
Good evening from Godley Texas, always a pleasure watching your videos. You're a trail blazer, woodsman, photographer, story teller, explorer, hiker, mountain climber, chef, and an all around great person. Thanks again for taking us along. Stay safe and happy travels 😎
Return of the theme song!!!
The people asked, I listened 😅
YEEEESSSS
I was just thinking it's been awhile. Thanks!! 😂
Just made me smile
Can we get a metal version.
A tired dog is a happy dog!
I’ll have to up my game to stay ahead of the AI! Cheers Simon!
This is crazy, I just watched your video and now I came over to forresty. The AI stuff is scary
we got a bite 🎣

A computer attempting to recreate Crazy Neighbor would shrivel up into an oozing mess
Is this the real Steve?? 😅
Hope you're doing alright. Thanks for the vids.
Let's break this down:
1) Sitting in a van, in a gravel pit,
2) making a sumptuous breakfast,
3)setting off to perform excellent stewardship on the trails with adorable, trusty side-kick , Rocko!
4) fords a COLD creek barefooted
5) hiking like a complete mountain goat - with trusty Rocko!
6) takes us on a tour of a mining site I would never, ever have seen in real life, complete with excellent drone footage
7)returns to van with Rocko, both in one piece
8) cooks a scrumptious gourmet dinner.
9) finds time to do a book review with us
10) excellent shot of that gorgeous girl to wrap it up!
All of the above in just 11:22 mintues! Foresty, you and Rocko are just absolute treasures! I've seen posts that were twice as long and only 1/3 as interesting and entertaining. Thank you for your hard work to share with us. You efforts are very much appreciated! Ya'll take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next adventure! 🧡🧡☺☺🥰🥰🐶🐶

A perfect summation!
Don't forget homespun philosophical musings about AI nonsense...
Wow! Imagine the effort in the 1940s to get all that building material up there. Thanks for sharing it with us Forresty
Yeah I bet they had a lot of pride in the accomplishment of all that 😮
@@forestyforest It's too bad their pride couldn't have them pack their garbage back with them.
@@lemonherb1 right. That was alot of can's. 😳
Just like all government projects throughout history.
Hardly anything compared to the amount of junk that is thrown into a foolish war!
Love the scenes where Rocko just stands there for you to come back for your camera.
Hehe she has learned, but appreciate when she performs for the camera. 😂
@@forestyforestshe knows that you have to come back to get the camera.
I love it when Rocko is dead tired and sleeping. The best dog
That scene when Rocko stopped running after you just waiting for you to turn around and collect your camera!!❤❤❤😂😂😂
She's SO smart!!
Oh, I missed that. Now I have to go watch it again. Oh, cute ! Nice catch.
True!
Yea my cat doesn't do anything like that for me🫤
I caught that. She is smart. She is like, he’s coming back lol
I think a lot of us missed the Foresty Forest theme,welcome back.
Don't worry about AI, Forest. You are clearly one of the best and authentic storytellers here on UA-cam, and your videography and your drone shots are out of this world. You deserve millions of followers. Keep doing what you have been doing, please!
And if you watch Wil Smith eating spaghetti by AI, you'll know it has some work to do

don't wish that on him lol... he is happy to have us and nervous to get too big I think
Hey... the INTRO is back... Hey FF!!!
Forresty....your videos are like someone giving me a ice cold drink while I'm in the hot dry desert. 😊
Haha, thanks 😋
Since you shut off your Patreon...here's my contribution! Looking forward to your next advdnture!
Thank you 😊

Rocco is starting to look like a body builder, really muscled up. You made a good choice for a hiking buddy.
She is ripped!
She’s ripped! 🥰

Yes, return of the theme song, hiking, biking, trail clearing, two air fryer meals and an equal number of book reviews, this one is a treasure trove!

Thanks for all you do brother!

Forestry's theme song is now a nostalgia to me 😅🥲
4:00 rocko is like I know you’re coming back for this so I’ll just stay right here 😂
I bought the same exact Ninja pressure cooker / air fryer as you so I can just copy everything you make. It's going really well for me so far!
What air fryer is it? I want one!
I have the same question
@@danzbeard The new version of it is called Ninja Foodi 9 in 1 Pressure Cooker and Air Fryer!
This channel is going back to its roots.
You're gonna live in a van DOWN BY THE RIVER.

The theme !!! We need more of that in videos. To me it makes it that much more special.
I'm glad to see the return of the theme song. Safe travels.
Thanks!
Man, words cannot express how nice it is to hear that Foresty Forest intro jingle first thing in the morning. It's gonna be a good day
Foresty Forest is now my favorite show. Love that theme song. 🎶🎵🎶🎵🫶🏻
Those words "see you in the next one" fills me with joy just as much as watching your vids 😊
Don't ever stop Foresty 😎
Your work is art
This channel is a Van Life Picasso 🎨
please don't ever stop so long as you enjoy it. I feel freedom when I get to see you out there.
Another one. Great.
Hooray, the jingle's back... makes me smile every time..😁
I enjoy your videos so very much. Hugs to you and Rocko.
My Dear Lone Wolf,
You are one intriguing dude.
You casually drop a big one by saying
"I've talked myself out of everything I have to share for now "
You'll share when you're ready.
Godspeed.
Thanks, as always. Your content is always peaceful. Safe travels.
Thanks Jared 😊

Nice, the theme songs back!
The Foresty Forest theme song is back!! YAY! Rocco is such a cutie, I loved it when she hung back while you rode on, like she was saying, "hey you left something here" :)
Love the old intro , I'm eating hashbrowns and eggs watching this . 👍🏼😃
I'm always impressed with meals you are able to prepare in the van and on the campfire
I gave a thumbs up for properly cooked bacon, just the bacon.
Hah. When I saw that colourful artwork for the first time, I thought back to my teen years and the crazy posters with the black light on. Nice outing and grub ! 🌲🤙
Only bringing out the theme song for the rare episode is great. It creates more demand. You make us yearn for it 😂
I love how Rocco guards the cam when you leave it and peddle by... toooo cute..
Digging the increased upload frequency, just don't burn out man.
Thanks for showing us things we could never see anywhere else. Much respect.
Prefer the Real Deal of Foresty Forest! 💚🌲🌿

4:00 Rocko hangs back because she knows Foresty will be coming back for the camera.
Love the intro music return! Cheers to you and Rocko, killer editing job as usual
04:00 Rocko stops to say 'hey dude, you forgot your phone!' 🐶
Love this video. These places that existed in history, yet few people get to see the remains. And you are the brave one to go get the footage for all to see. Wow! I love it. ❤
YAY the theme song!! 🎶. It’s catchy and I find myself singing it around the house while I do my chores 😄
The definition of restraint and discipline. Cooking 2 strips of bacon
I appreciate your original content!
I call it Rocko’s Modern Life🐶
Loving these latest videoes. Rocko is a beast! So muscular
I always love to see a foresty forest video when I open UA-cam. I don’t know how I found you but you are sincerely one of my favourites.
Your story telling and video editing skills are above par. You are real,thank you for remaining so. My wife and I are true fans.
More epic drone video. Really great to watch.
Yay...the Foresty Forest theme song's back !!!!!
*That was so neat. They built those buildings right on the ridge.*
*You are so lucky to see those places.* 💚
Just amazing that was once a bustling place! And then they just walked away . . .
I’m stealing your salmon recipe, thanks Foresty!
FINALLY...a video for the rest of us- something we can all relate to: rocks, Rocco, van-life, and an air fryer. Damn....looks like I'm buying another appliance. GREAT drone shots per usual on ANOTHER epic hike- that NOBODY else does!!!!
Thanks Simon , and Rocco. The drone shots , as usual , were amazing ! The old mine looked like sticks that got tossed .
Seeing those crumbling buildings reminds me of something a me to told me years ago “nature always wins out”.
I'm preparing my van and my life and soon, very soon, I'll be ot there exploring. Thanks for the inspiration and the honest videos you put out. Hope to see ya out there one of these days. Safe travels
Hey, the best theme song ever!!!
Wow, just saw the video pop up, wish I had something great to say, except all the best to you and Rocko, Foresty. Love the videos. 😊
Can city.. that’s a crazy amount of tin! We are always amazed at the beauty you bring us!
Neat, haven't caught your videos this close to upload, here's wishing you the best!
I have an air fryer and I have not used it since moving full time in my van. Watching this video, makes me want to use it.
Hey Foresty forest that was a fun video. It was a beautiful spot. It was cool seeing that old Mining cabin and the drone footage was amazing. You and Rocko always make my day. You guys are so much fun. Be safe out there. I look forward to next video.🇺🇸♥️👍🙂🙏🐾🏔️🚐🇨🇦
