In the last year or so, some kind anonymous soul pointed out Bonhoeffer's Theory of Stupidity, which can be summed up as follows: stupidity is not the lack of intelligence, it's the willful failure to use the intelligence one does have. Darwin Awards are handed out posthumously to those that validate the theory. Wannabees are everywhere. It is what it is.
I wouldn't have the intestinal fortitude to climb those peaks even if they had stairs all the way. Cheers to you & Rocko for your efforts and providing such spectacular footage for us 👍
My dad used to take our dog jogging when I was younger and would come back saying how the dog surprisngly couldnt keep up, kind of eluding to what a great jogger he was, then year later I see a youtube video that says we have the ability to go long distances because of our ability to sweat, which many animals dont have, this constant cooling lets us not overheat and go long distance compared to animals that cant and will have to stop sooner. Which is kind of weird, you think a deer could outrun you but techiically you'd be the tortious that won the race and i think what probably let us keep up with the migrating herds, when we couldnt chase them down in a sprint during our hunting gathering days, our endurace abaility thanks to sweating.
@@mikejones-vd3fg dogs sweat through their paw pads, panting and the expansion of certain blood vessels. Of course you’re correct in, dogs cannot sweat sufficiently to keep themselves cool like humans.
I noticed that Hagwilget Peak is Summit #185 for you, and #41 for Rocko. I am wondering what you will do to celebrate when you summit peak #200. Unbelievable! Foresty, you are truly a remarkable mountaineer, and an inspirational human being!!
That van is like the Johnny Cash song, “I’ve been everywhere man!” Nice bed now for Rocko! Edit: Yum Yum! On that food Simon! You always cook some great grub! That was some climb! Wow! I think you are ready for Tibet.
Not sure what Rocco's life was before you got her, but I bet she is now thinking. . . . . . " Wow, I really hit the jackpot with my new human. My life is so great now. "
Rocko-“Hey dad, whatcha got on that plate & you’re giving me some, right?” I totally get the mess factor. I’m in my jeep & my passenger seat is my kitchen. Daily tidying😂. Thanks for bringing us along! Hugs and love to you & Rocko!❤️❤️
Thanks for bringing a smile to our faces today Simon and Rocko! Sending Rocky Mountain vibes from the Roaring Fork Valley (Aspen). We're all tourist when we go somewhere else. Thx!
I would like to pay you a big compliment, even if I don't speak English very well, I really enjoy watching your videos. You are simply unbeatable you two.... always take good care of yourselves and please keep it up. 😊
See, this is a real 'Van Life' video, not one of those "Everything is perfect" videos Things get messy sometimes, with me almost every time I go camping, now I've been reminded that my van needs cleaning, Thanks Foresty
Now that we know Foresty and Rocko are fine...you are a delight to watch, so honest and real. Much better than any geographic or nature show I've ever watched!(I'm 70 and am delighted with how you use technology, drones and your humble van and take care of Rocko. (She's hilarious in that bag🤣)..even watching you clean up gives us opportunity to see your ingenious design of your stove, counter, n cubby holes and your 🍢 kebabs made my mouth water!
@@jeremiah1528 You have to click on the 3 horizontal dots next to the Download button on the far right, beneath the video. That brings you a drop down menu. "Thanks" is the first choice. (I'm watching this on my laptop and it's there; not sure about watching on a phone.)
Wow, I have to admit that seeing you and Rocko climbing on this one made me extremely nervous for your safety! Maybe it was the POV you gave us! Glad you're both safe! Take care and thanks for sharing all that you do!
Your drone footage is sharper and clearer than the epic movie/musical " The Sound of Music" by Roger's and Hammerstein. Right at the beginning of the movie, they are flying over the Alps. You are amazing.
Foresty is the only guy on youtube who starts with a van wipe down and ends with beautiful drone footage of mountain tops!! Damn, that was a pretty view.
You are so far beyond everything, trail cooking, hiking, mountaineering, van life, videography, a sweet dog and photogenic! No wonder you are in a funk, how do you top it? Seriously, you are so talented. I love your videos.
My wife and I are big dog lovers, meaning, large dogs. My wife always said if she ever had a small dog it would be a Jack Russell Terrier, they are “big dogs in a little dog’s body”. After watching Rocco I am convinced! Watching her grab that stick about five times the size of her body made me lol 😂
Living the simple life. Sounds like a great way to go. Beautiful hike and the drone shots are so good. That Rocko is one bundle of energy. Good luck staying away from the wildfires. Take care, Al
The last thing I want to do is be preachy about alcohol, but man. As someone who also gave up the booze just over two months ago, what a difference. No mental fog, no hangovers, and so much energy and motivation. I ran my first 5k today and did so under 30 minutes. I hadn't ran over two miles my entire adult life up to this point. Life is better without it. Cheers Foresty 👍
A week ago I decided to give it up again. Getting to the point where I feel it the next day more. I've skip the booze for five or ten years before. I wouldn't say it was easy but it wasn't super hard either. I find that drinking alcohol everyday even if it's only one or two drinks is no bueno. Already after seven days I feel a difference, and I know how much better all feel three months out. Not to mention my bank account.
I can watch these drone shots all day. Roco was pretty spunky coming back. I really hope your nomadic life doesn’t conflict with how well you feel mentally. Do you ever consider taking a vacation from this and go visit some family or friends?
I took a break from alcohol myself after having at LEAST one beer a day for over 10 years. I went to the fridge one night and had no beer left. It was 8 o'clock at night so I just figured I'd wait till the next day. The next day, the same thing happened, I forgot to get beer early enough. The next day I figured I'd just go a few more days, give myself a bit of a break from it. One week turned into one month which turned into one year, which turned into three years. I had no real desire to drink at all during all that time. But one day I just said "enough of this" ... lol. And I bought a bottle of brandy. I still went about another 6 months without a beer and just last week had my first beer in 3.5 years. I can't say that I felt any better at any time during my alcohol vacation. If you don't over do it normally, I don't think you notice any difference at all when you stop.
That’s exactly what I did with cigarettes. 10 years ago. Have never bought another pack. Kept the 2 cigarettes I had left for about 2 weeks & then realized “I got this”
Foresty, thank you, thank you, thank you. Let me tell you why I was thrilled to follow you up the mountain, and my apologies for what will be a post that is a bit long! I lived below Hagwilget Peak for five years in my early teens. I loved that peak so much that I reacently 'carved' it's crags for the doorway of my newlyl completed camper van. Hey, I think you'd even recognize it. Ha. I built an airplane back in the 70's and flew it back to Hazelton in the summer of 78 (before GoPro cameras) and flew the surrounding countryside, reliving the adventures (mostly horseback trips) all these years later. It was a marvellous trip of a lifetime, but sadlyl the clouds were too low to fly over the Peak. You have done this for me with an amazing hike over some terribly rough terraine that is way beyond what I ever could have done, so thank you for this beautiful posting. You climbed higher on your hike than I was ab;e to fly that day. Now I am content to have seen the top of 'my' mountain. I will include a link to a second rate video of that flight back to Hazelton. My wings were magical and I flew them for 34 years before my age caught up with me. Keep the videos coming Foresty. You and Rocco do an amazing job and I absolutely love your adventures. Stayl safe and enjoy each moment. Obviously you know how. John. czcams.com/video/bU0MNLda5mk/video.html
From Deb…hate to overuse the word, but that was nothing short of Epic!! And I love the music that you chose at the end for the drone footage. And sheesh that dog is fearless!
I was scared for you. Those rocks you were climbing and then you had to go back down, get the camera and go up again. Omg. That dog is unbelievable. So cute. Full of energy.
Thanks for taking us along with you and Rocko, she just amazes me with her get up and go! Glad to hear you’re feeling better for not drinking beer; I stopped beer in 2013 and haven’t touched it since. After 7 weeks I noticed my shoulders lift, I felt taller, fewer negative thoughts, more energy, now much happier. I still drink cider, port and wine but only once or twice a month it doesn’t have the same depressive affect on me as beer. Happy travels! Simon (I’m Simon as well)
What a beautiful surprise! I'll be watching again with my cat, Misty. I love the New Hazelton area. We only have 2 small mountains on Haida Gwaii however lots of backroads to explore. Take care.
I camped in my Jeep for 8 months-- and I am a minimalist. I found it very stressful when it game time to clean and organize my vehicle. But it was always such a relief when I did.. and it was very easy to give things away to good will, if I realized I really didn't want to keep something and haul it around with me. If I do it again, I would like to find a very affordable storage facility in a small town to keep my larger tools, and replacement parts.
Thank you for the sentimental concern on the Alberta wildfires, Foresty Forest. Not ideal way to spend our summer season, but we do what we can to endure it and hope and pray it doesn't last as long as they say it might. God speed on your climbing adventures. Take care. Stay safe. ❤
Love your videos but have to confess my heart can’t take it when you get close to top with Rocco, I have to fast forward. LoL thanks for sharing again. Much love from Iowa. 🦋❤️
11:21 "one or 2 a day at the most" - lol Simon - I just turned 50 and I can tell you - it makes a HUGE difference on your recovery. So many tasty drinks without Alc! Stay healthy!
It's awesome to see Rocko braving the peaks. Trust your dog,he will always show you the safest way. Love your vids. Always laid back and easy watching.
I was worried for Rocco while you were on your way up, but at the end saw that she's like my hiking cat Kitsoo, who's usually in front of me going anywhere. Thanks for the video! I know how much time and effort it takes. :)
Since your going North this Summer it would be nice to see you traverse the Alonquin Park North of Ontario with a lightweight canoe. I'm sure Rockett would love the water! Watching you climb without safety gear and triage kit I feel like I'm watching Nascar then I realize that if anything ever happened I wouldn't see an upload in the first place! #SafetyFirst 365k subs care about you.
You're a terrific filmmaker, Foresty. Thanks for bringing your viewers to the spectacular mountaintops. One suggestion-- buy yourself a folding chair for 'living large' by the fire!
Can you believe we all find the simple choir of you cleaning your van worthy of watching, yet we do? Funfact: Once a pancake is flipped improperly its damn unfixable! Amazing drone views from the summit!
I gotta tell ya, there are some dang good non-alcoholic beers out there now. Our favorite is one by Lagunitas, NIPA, lots of flavor, but lighter. Even in the heat you can down a couple of these and not feel dehydrated, yet very satisfied.
Hey Foresty forest that was a fun video of fun climb and oh my goodness the scenery was amazing. You and Rocko are so much fun you guys always make my day. I look forward to your next adventure you guys be safe out there 🇺🇸♥️👍🙂🐾🪵🔥🏔️🚐🇨🇦
I was watching you looking around the van at your mess and I looked around my apartment at my mess and wished it was the size of the van... The more you have the more there is to mess. AND... Great video, I am so glad you have such an adventurous companion as Rocko, she may be the only companion ever that could keep up with you! 41 summits!
Your videos are my most favorite. They make me look forward to Sundays. I'm glad to see that, to some extent, you're like the rest of us - the inside of your van gets to be a disaster sometimes. Love to see Rocko zoom down those trails. 😄
"By the grace of shear stupidity, I continue on"
All time Foresty Forest quote
I believe Foresty was speaking on behalf of the entire human race.
In the last year or so, some kind anonymous soul pointed out Bonhoeffer's Theory of Stupidity, which can be summed up as follows: stupidity is not the lack of intelligence, it's the willful failure to use the intelligence one does have. Darwin Awards are handed out posthumously to those that validate the theory. Wannabees are everywhere. It is what it is.
@@thenextpoetician6328 Isn't that just 'wilfull ignorance' but trying to userp the word 'stupidity' and wrap it around the previous concept?
Willfull ignorance is just a nice way of saying stupid.
@@wconradjr I'm likely at least one of those things.
I wouldn't have the intestinal fortitude to climb those peaks even if they had stairs all the way. Cheers to you & Rocko for your efforts and providing such spectacular footage for us 👍
Omg me too. I wait for FF's video and drone shots☺️
I have a thing where I mark out the moment where I would quit. He even takes food further than I would.
I couldn’t want tiny part of the video due to acrophobia. What a pair! Stay safe both of you!
I'm amazed at how adept that little dog is at climbing up to some of those summits. You picked exactly the right dog when you chose her.
It scares the crap out of me
@@soniadowney7427 she's really a mountain goat in disguise.
I was thinking the same thing. Jack Russell Terriers have a lot of energy. These two are a perfect pair!

You're a terrific filmmaker, Foresty. Thanks for bringing your viewers to the spectacular mountaintops. One suggestion-- buy yourself a folding chair for 'living large' by the fire!
Yes! It is important to unwind and relax while eating. They make lots of really nice comfortable folding chairs, ones for dogs too!
Its absolutely amazing you hike those precarious rocks at 6000 ft, while dealing with a dog, while filming!! 😱
Love watching you both! I have had Jack Russels and cannot believe how much of a mountain climber she is! Love you guys❤
In 100 years from now, this channel will be the final frontier
of living in a van down by the river.
This van will be in a museum dbtr
Rocko enjoys the downhills much more than my old kness!😄
Wow 2 FF vids in one week, NICE!
Man, your drone and camera work are top notch. Been watching you for a good bit and your skills just keep getting better with each video.
Beautiful video!!! The mountains, the food, the fire, the hike....it's all good!!!!
Can you believe we all find the simple choir of you cleaning your van worthy of watching, yet we do? Funfact: Once a pancake is flipped improperly its damn unfixable! Amazing drone views from the summit!
I gotta tell ya, there are some dang good non-alcoholic beers out there now. Our favorite is one by Lagunitas, NIPA, lots of flavor, but lighter. Even in the heat you can down a couple of these and not feel dehydrated, yet very satisfied.
Hey Foresty forest that was a fun video of fun climb and oh my goodness the scenery was amazing. You and Rocko are so much fun you guys always make my day. I look forward to your next adventure you guys be safe out there 🇺🇸♥️👍🙂🐾🪵🔥🏔️🚐🇨🇦
Good to get the van ship shape. Some climb that was, and Rocko clearly thinking how am I gonna get up there. Glad that you're doing OK.
Again on top of the world 😊 you and Rocko are the best love from Greece 😊
UNBELIEVABLE-OUT OF THIS WORLD FOOTAGE! Please be careful Foresty Forest we all ❤ and care about you and Rocko!
I was watching you looking around the van at your mess and I looked around my apartment at my mess and wished it was the size of the van... The more you have the more there is to mess. AND... Great video, I am so glad you have such an adventurous companion as Rocko, she may be the only companion ever that could keep up with you! 41 summits!
What an incredible hike!!! Loved the cooking too man, great video
Thank you so very much for taking me places I'll never get to see! Your videos are excellent! God bless you and safe travels!
Your videos are my most favorite. They make me look forward to Sundays. I'm glad to see that, to some extent, you're like the rest of us - the inside of your van gets to be a disaster sometimes.
Love to see Rocko zoom down those trails. 😄
Another great adventure where my stomach was in my throat! And Rocko is just…perfect 🥰
Great content - Van life is the way.
Rocko is so full energy i love to see when the ears are just flying!!
