(as rookies built out ourselves) Canadians people are the best so kind and welcoming. Almost ready to retire and build a larger van do it full time. We have love your channel from the beginning we are bikers and you were a great example of that also. Can't say enough how both yor channel and Johan, rest in peace .....the bike wanderer Changed my outlook to another way to live foever grateful.

Really been looking forward to this video. Simon is a living legend. Absolutely the best kind of person in how genuine and humble he is. His journey has been so uplifting and rewarding to watch. I feel fortunate to have been watching his videos since the bikepacking days and minivan days. His cinematography skills, dedication to high production quality and production value has always been admirable and inspiring. He seems to thrive and excel with whatever he puts his mind to and always gives back to the community in some genuine way. We couldn't he happier or more excited about his success doing what he loves. Thanks for the video. Hope everyone has a great weekend 💚✌🏼

Humble Forestry didn't say a thing about his cooking skills. This man is a Chef/Connoisseur! If you weren't hungry you will be after watching him prepare a meal! With Rocko's help of course. At night, with his wood stove glowing, watching him prepare a meal you can positively smell, the cozyness, homeyness in that van is wonderful. Another thing that draws people in is how much he loves and cares for Rocko. Rare that Roco isn't with him on his back packing, camping, Mtn climbing to the summit trips. The videos (and yes sometimes scary) that he takes with fantastic drone shots are unbelievable! All the things Bob Wells said about Forestry/Simone are true. A stand above the rest channel!❤

The real deal!! My favorite Van life/adventure channel ! He’s been my inspiration to travel minimally after my strokes. I don’t have a van, I do it in a Subaru Crosstrek at this point. But I do it! Hiking and adventure is what has kept me going and made me abandon the thought of giving up. Simons channel has taught me so much about, not questioning too much and just getting out there and doing it! Thank you Forest!

I love Foresty Forest's channel because for one thing, he's a very decent human being. He respects the environment and he doesn't have that boisterous, over-the-top macho affectation that is so common among male overlanders. His adventures are engaging and beautifully filmed, and he has diverse interests that he brings to the channel, such as history, cooking, trail maintenance, even cabin building. He has mad skills with mechanics and electrical work so there are opportunities for us to learn. And he is really thoughtful and strategic about how much he's willing to invest in his builds. another thing I like is that he isn't always promoting equipment from sponsors. If he does give something a favorable review, it's genuine and based on his own experience with the product.

Always keeping it real from home depot van builds to winching his van out of precarious locations. Let's not forget with meeting up with fair Maidens and climbing ,skiing and mountain climbing with a splash of rafting and biking to the crock pot. Cheers to you if you read this ramble and have found his channel it will not disappoint.

For this format, Simon downplayed his channel as just a van-life outdoor adventure channel. He skipped over what makes it unique: documentary quality drone & film work, gourmet mobile cooking, thrilling mountain/ river adventures, vehicle repairs in parking lots and campsites, multiple day bike tours, a spitfire adventure dog cutie sidekick (Rocko), a Grammy worthy intro theme song, a charismatic yet humble host with an impressive skill set and who is akin to a modern day Lewis & Clark rolled into one, talking crockpots, excessive bean rinsing (preferably in cold creeks), cartel kidnappings, Bigfoot sightings and much much more.
