Van Life - Crockpot Chicken Wings at Mt. Nelson 

People come and go, but the Crock Pot is forever

I am a 70 year old man In Arkansas. Keep the videos coming. You spend way more time on your food than I do at home, but I enjoy watching you put together so damm good Meals. When I got back from Vietnam in 1972 I spent 2 years on a sailboat then about 3 years in a ford 300 Econoline that I made into a camper. I was prospecting for gold in New Mexico & Arizona, but when the heat would get unbearable I would go to Gunnison Colorado. I was able to recover enough gold to Buy a new car and put a down payment on a house. Gold was less than $300 a oz back then. Car $2800 and house was just $24,000. To make a long story short I am building another van to travel in. My children are all grown and gone and the wife died about 11 years ago. One of my Sons turned me on to RU-vid videos and people like you have inspired me that I have got to live some more. 👍🤗

The crock pot is your “Wilson”.

"Why are people watching this?" Because you are a charming, genuine guy who I think any of us would be lucky to call a friend, my dude.

All alone just me and my crockpot - This movie is Rated R

no forest, not the worst cooking show.. the realest!

I’m watching a video of a guy who lives in a van and is talking to a crockpot. I love it.

Foresty Forest - a man for the people. He heard our cries for a return to the crockpot and he obliged. ✌🏻😉 💚

As long as there is Foresty And His Slow Cooker there's hope for the world.

Kiera shows up, introduces the world to "Simon" (whoever the hell that is), and then disappears. What an agent of chaos!

As soon as the beer got cracked open, my only thought was, "step two."

This is premium content. Panoramic views and a mountain summit, a cooking/bbq show, home renovations, and a beer review jam packed into an enthralling 14 minutes.

That crockpot was only purchased to test the capacity of forest's (then) new battery. Now it's back when we need it most. Bringing the world together again.

I'm glad you're giving the crock pot a second chance

Foresty thank you so much for your videos. I live in NC but stuck in home due to 2 toddlers and wife with asthma who is most vulnerable due to covid. 15 mins of watching your video makes me feel I lived a little. God bless and please stay safe.

Foresty, I don't know if you'll ever see this, but I need to tell you again how much I appreciate your wit. I laugh more at some of your videos than I do at 'comedians'. Thanks for what you do.

7:25 Just when we thought we weren't gonna get hit with this beaut of a theme. Best channel on RU-vid. Beats anything!

man this is the most wholsesome thing on youtube. The worst cooking show ever and also the best. Really inspirational!

Crockpot + all kinds of beer + grill = foresty Forest ! The only NOT BORING van life on RU-vid !

Episode V: The CrockPot Strikes Back...

I thought I couldn’t love Foresty’s content any more than I already do, but I totally loved the recent turn the channel took - Kira is really sound & it’s been wholesome af watching these two genuine people interact together, and get stuck in to all the things we love about this channel together (hiking, cooking, geeking out about van stuff!). Obviously Kira’s on her own van channel journey but in my opinion it’s been wonderful to see our cherished FF enjoying friendship; a dynamic we hadn’t seen on the channel before. Big love to everybody healing the nations with their positive vibrations 🙌

i love that he kept those random grill plates he found

"I think its cornstarch. Its just a mysterious white bag of powder I found in my drawer"

10000% the most underrated channel on RU-vid. Laughing my ass off every video. keep em coming!!!

FF "...drain the sauce into the pot" Me: Noooooo....Do it OUTSIDE!!!!

Thank god the crockpot cooking is finally back! I was getting worried for a sec there forest!

Hot sauce, chicken wings, a slow cooker unattended ticking away on a timer. What could go wrong? Is this how the popularity for Disney TV on Sunday nights started for my generation? Foresty you are touching more people than you know and your clean outdoor stories are very family friendly, and you should be proud in these times to have people gathering here to listen to the continuing saga of a climber and his slow cooker.

It’s been neglected so long you stopped calling it a Slow Cooker.

Good job on helping Kira, always live life to the fullest. Stay happy

The difference in your disposition between now and a year+ ago is SO huge. Just watching a person (hopefully two! Bring her back!) grow and find happiness like this is fantastic.

I never thought I would enjoy watching a man with a van do slow cooker cooking show. Yet here I am.

Man, I get mesmerized watching your videos..the nature is sooo beautiful, it relaxes me so much, I feel like I'm there..I like your cooking too..thank you for your videos..cheers

"I dont know why anyone watches" Because foresty, I live in flat Illinois where there is no character or sense of adventure. Your videos provide an escape to the life I wish I lived. Every week I look forward to your upload the most!

I swear your van is like a tardis - it looks so much bigger in the inside than outside! 😋 awesome video FF!! Hope Kira is doing well also.

Beautiful! You certainly visit some wonderful places.

Making chicken wings with mysterious white powders. Best cooking show ever.

I accidentally bought IPA 5 years ago and 8 are still in the refrigerator, I tried one of each flavor thinking it couldn't get worse and was proven wrong. Last time I ask a 21 y/o clerk what a refreshing summer beer would be.

I said a prayer for foresty forest nuts as he poured hot sauce near.

Yesterday I went back to when you started van life and I've rewatched alot of your videos, you truly make the best vanlife content in my opinion

12:11 Love how the crock pot is watching longingly from the little window in the back of the van 😄😄😄

Great catching up with Foresty Forest

I cant believe how much I love this channel, it has everything.

Kudos to you for helping a new van dweller get off to a good start. BTW, nice to see the return of the crock pot.

"Kira has begun her own spiritual vision quest to find her own special appliance" So should we all, my friend. So should we all!

Forest this IS the best show on RU-vid! Keep enjoying yourself. Nice work on Kira's van.

This is the channel I always go to for beer tips & cooking how to's. Here's to you Foresty.

Forestry Forest!!!!! I have to admit, once you brought the Crock Pot back out and dusted it, it felt like a reunion from the movie the "Notebook"....it brought tears to my eyes...finally back reunited :)

Not the worst cooking show.... It is really good... I love it that you are real. It shows me what I can do when I am outdoors, and there is no excuse for not trying. You're living a real life adventure... authentically as who you are.

Honestly, I watch the videos more for his cooking than his traveling. I'm sure the food must taste really delicious after hiking for an entire day.

What are you talking about? It's the best cooking show. Glad to see the crock pot make a return.

FORESTY + Crockpot =REAL MUST WATCH YOU TUBE

Thanks for not having tons of adds or sponsorship bs. I enjoy your content the way it is.

love the cooking as much as the travels!

That climb looked pretty damn gnarly in the drone shot.

Really sick drone footage today 🤟

Great vid again. The ice axe- usually you put an ice axe upright, down into the bottom loop, then flip it upwards into the top strap. Then the bottom loop stops it from going down and the axe isn't flopping around by your head.

..3:10 "starting up a wet shirt competition here, if you wanna win at spring break you gotta start training early" hahahahaha!

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we, watch this channel because it’s 100% escapism. You’re doing what so many would love to be doing.

I really like your videos. I'll have to say you use every square inch of space in your van. Some would say it's cramped in your van, but you seem to do very well. After all you don't need much room to sleep. You don't live in your van, you live in the mountains and cook and sleep in your van. You're not spending money on fuel to travel with 2,000 lbs. of vehicle you don't need. I'm very impressed! Rick in Tennessee.

Easily the best cooking show on the internet

The cooking segment is probably my favourite part of the show, Foresty. :)

As always great video and amazing drone video , thanks bro

Classic episode!

3:43 struck me as the image of flora beauty. You LITERALLY climb mountains and share the magnificent views. I can't look away from the summit drone footage. Plus, you provide practical gear review from field experience. At the end, we sit down with you for a meal to share what you have learned. We are thankful for what you provide to us and for us. You are family.

The man, the legend, Foresty. Enough said.

You made me soooo nervous pouring the sauce out of the slow cooker the way that you did! They did look super delicious 😋 🤤

So glad that you rekindled the old Crockpot love. You know you belong together. Kiera’s van is coming along nice. She’ll be ready by the time it gets cold.

Crockpot needs its own channel!

All you ever needed was the crock pot. Brings tears to my eyes, such a sweet reunion.

Forestry, you need to be certified for crockpot cpr. Its the best cooking show on RU-vid too!!

Best cooking show on RU-vid

I love your channel keep pushing out the good content

My like is for Crocky. Glad to see he’s Ok.

The climb up to the peak looks a lot steeper in the drone footage. Also, this is a great cooking show. It comes with scenery, dry comedy, and inanimate objects with personality.

The best damn cooking show on RU-vid.

Yay, slow cooker is back.

Relationships take work…hope you and the Crock Pot can work through your differences and rekindle the magic you once shared 🙏

This is by far the best cooking, and can life show on RU-vid. You are genuinely funny, and I love the subtle references you throw in from time to time. You are great sir. Don’t ever stop. Been rewatching all your videos again. Starting back over with the Fatbike tours.

this is the best cooking show on youtube

I love this guy. The philosophy. The execution. It's on my to do list to start supporting him on patreon. He's good at what he does and he just gets better.

A mysterious bag of white powder? Ha! Ha! Ha! A little bit of heat and a little bit of sweet. Well done Mr. Foresty Forest.

I'm an OG follower from back in your bike touring days and I have to say it's nice seeing you open up so much and being in your element. You look happy dude! Keep living the good life Simon!

Dear 'ol Crocky. One of the sounds on your vvideos that brings back years of memories is the putt-putt-putt of your backpacking stove. Funny even my ancient Svea makes that noise. Thanks for all this Foresty.

THE CROCKPOT IS BACK! PRAISE BE!

luv video you always show brilliant views and scenery. your a very good cook. stay safe.

Foresty, you plugged the crockpot back in and reconnected in so many more ways. Stay safe, sane, and sanitized.

This is my favorite camper van cooking show

I feel like such a dork getting so excited about your croc pot vids! ...well...feeling like more of a dork than usual! ;)

Man it made my day seeing you post something. Time to watch!

Even before I found your channel... my dream destination has always been top of a mountain by myself... i need to do it very very soon

another great Video by a man that could single handedly bring back the once poplar crock pot. cheers to you my van loving mountain hiking crock pot master chef

You know what would be dope? An interview with FF ran by a follower/supporter/patron.

Boy, talk about adventure on YT! No, not the mountain climbing -- the sauce pouring. It had me on the edge of my seat.

The Foresty theme song would make a great ring tone! Good luck to Kira as she begins her van life adventure!

Ive been looking forward to old videos with just Forest and his crock pot. Best channel on youtube hands down. Only one I actually watch.

Now my night is complete...i sware i just opened a fresh beer too :)!!!!!

Forest, thank you for all you do. The wet t shirt comment had me and my wife dying lol

I watched because I can longer hike due to health issues. I get to see places I will never have a chance to see otherwise. I love the drone footage plus I love the quirky commentary. And you can’t beat the crockpot recipes.

Absolute best cooking show on RU-vid ❣️

The crock pot is back and so is Forest :) Good video and good job on Kira's van! As always I love the mountains videos with the drone! Nice hike to the top! Thank you for another good show :)
