Foresty is so fucking inspirational. He hikes like a boss and makes it seem like easy peasy. He climbs mountains at the drop of a hat like its akin to going to a bathroom or something. And then to top that he makes more gourmet meals living out a van than most of us pseudo "chefs" make in our fully stocked and loaded kitchens in our homes. FF you are an incredible force my friend.

These videos inspired me to change my life. I’m going to be 29 years old in two months. I grew up in the city my whole life and I’ve never hiked. I’ve spent the summer getting rid of a lot of my possessions, kept the necessities, and packed the rest. After years of being conditioned to live in such a polluted, materialistic, unnatural environment where we’ve been conditioned to be reliant on needless technology, self-serving short-term hedonistic gratification, and estrogen-infused super market food; I’m legit ready to move up north and live a life being surrounded by nature. I’m looking forward to learning more survival techniques and hopefully taking these kinds of trips.

Breathtaking sedimentary layers on Mt. Vaux! Love seeing highlights of geological formations in your videos.

Being trapped in the concrete jungle. Being a part of the rat race, bogged down by life. Showcasing what human life has become: a downward spiral of loneliness; depression; anxiety; stress; debt; indignity; betrayal; jobs that we don't wanna do to buy things we dont need. And the this guy comes in and shows us a different way of living. I'm 27. Turning 28 next January. I'm gonna do this.

For anyone watching this in Wales (like me), this mountain is AT LEAST twice as high as Snowdon. And he just called it an easy walk... lol. Absolutely stunning scenery! Love the mountains

I really appreciate your humble attitude, life style and staying away from toxic social media (youtube the exception) like instagram and twitter. I would understand if you did leverage Instagram and Twit due to the fact recognition is how you make money with increased exposure bringing more views, sponsors and Patreons etc...which is your job, your source of income, but I give you that much more respect because you don't. Even if you were in the most tricked out rig with 5MM subs, the latest gear sponsors knocking your doors down, I'd still love your channel due to your skills capturing your cooking, climbing, riding, touring content and your personality...economy of words. Keep it going brother. Your occupy a lifestyle niche with few competitors. Edit: and just one more thing, even your out-tro (if that's a word) was stunning, entertaining with great music as your patrons scroll by in front of that Foresty Van Gogh videoscape. Not a dull moment dude. Sometimes I like to multitask when watching vids but never with you. Each frame of content has value and thought in it. Don't change anything!!
