Van Life - Fridge and High Output Alternator Installation 

Because he"s never wrong!

He edited out all the @#$***

reminds me of my late husband who grew up on a dairy farm. He could do anything with a good nature.

Canadians are nice and no drama unlike many other nations where everything is a massive deal.

@@mop2254 Canadian here ... we have plenty of drama queens here as well

Those Canadian gals will just love Foresty Forest! They will be banging on his door!" If they don, t find you handsome they might find you handy"👍!!

Foresty'Gyver he's building his van!

@@josephlwallssr6166 Can you imagine Foresty Forest and Red Green doing a show together. 👍🏻

He also manages his own youtube channel, films and edits his own videos and engages with his fans through his patreon.

😂...he wasn’t born, he was created! 😇

You just wrote my comment 🤣 Thank's! Jesus bless you 🕊

He is a true Craftsman. Oops, I mean Craftsperson.

Anyone know his actual name?

@@Hypeman10 Geoffrey.

Simmon

Yes, my same thoughts!

delicious

I can't even go outside when it's colder than 10* F.

I don't lay on concrete anymore. Much less snow in -30c

yup... lol

Hell yeah I got out of bed to get my snacks

it's 7:07am here in my town 😅😅😅

@@clearwater9118 cool man, do you drink shit water?

life is nuts no?? hahaa

Now that's phunny!

You are so funny.

I think that’s because he keeps Kosher ya know

😂😂😂

Should the crock pot and fridge do battle, one wonders who the sewing machine will side with? 😎

No frills too. All authentic. Doesn't try to be entertaining yet is infinitely entertaining

Let's promote this guy I look forward to this it's like the only sane part of my week sometimes.

and there is NEVER clickbait like "exploring a cave" He goes places other RU-vidrs bait about.

Being a patreon supporter is pretty much just that, the build images and other additional information are basically the dividends. Best dollar a month ever spent!

This guy inspires me so much!!

congrats!

Wow, congratulations!

Bless your wife and family!

Sending best wishes!

Congratulations 🎉

Great suggestion. When he said about the fuse I felt anxious for him. Like when I order really specific bicycle parts after I break something and it takes weeks except that's just my hobby and I don't risk freezing to death while I wait.

I have a danfoss compressor in my small marine fridge. Its been constantly running since 2001 because I use it as a freezer. It may cost more up front for Danfoss yet is a great investment for full time living.

@@cheapcigs9772 I have an Icecool JP50 with a Danfoss compressor. Used as a refrigerator to cool things to 36 degrees from 75 ambient temperature, it uses about 8 watts per hour on average. I can run it for a week on a 120Ah battery. It may use more in warmer conditions and/or used as a freezer. Figure on maybe 12 watts in a worst-case scenario, which would be 1 amp per hour.

Oh wow! I'm sitting here on planet earth reading your comment from planet earth. I can't fucking believe it!

@@TheNaKio No way dude, same planet? That is so weird that we are both sitting here watching the same stuff!

@@manuelmartensen amazing!

Ikr 😀

The way it should be. We should be celebrating our differences and be more friendly to one another. Most vanlifers get it.

Yes I can't stand ignorant people who think van dwellers are all jobless, homeless bums, mooching off of tax payers.

I live in a van ... down by the river

Canadians are the original definition of chill. They bring it out in others.

Yes, but we love the Foresty Forest song!

Lol, right. ❤

What about any of this is hard? Lol

@@Mrblakk100 EVERYTHING!😁 Maybe ur equally as talented though....Me? Not so much.😁

@@mikejensen4238 Seneca would enjoy the simplicity of the theme tune.

@@t.m.c.740 Absolutely!!!

@Baba Ganush I actually rewatch some of his stuff every now and then to analyze his demeanor. Not a creep, lol, just very inspired by how he holds it together, even if things were edited out.

He’s the only one worth watching, most others “vanlifers” are entitled chicks who get followers only because they use bikini pics as thumbnails.

lol

The boogeyvan!

I always put Monster energy drinks under my bed for this reason.

🔊🎼🎵🎶🎤🎺🎸

The song is super wak. Need a more gangster version.

Foresty Forest, he’s the crockpot dude!

Even better!

Singing it with the voice of Barry White imo definitely gives it justice. 😌

Lol

I know, right! ✨

May have something to do with the warning light he got.

...about 4 hours.

Funniest thing I've seen in months. Comedy genius along with all his other multiple talents. Love it.

He really is the best on YT! He’s the man!

Evaporator a not condenser,but yes you are right, I was cringing too! After it was done,I imagined Harvey Korman saying "Gentlemen, gentleman,rest your sphincters!" 😁

Never thought of that, yikes. I was gentle and just pierced the metal casing. Definitely didn't hit anything underneath.

Thank you! The minivan was super cozy. Glad this one is starting to look more like a home!

I was thinking something similar...I don't know about the newer GM's but the newer Dodges computer systems have whats called powernet(or something along those lines) and basically the engine computer(ECM-Engine Control Module) communicates with the other computers on the vehicle(transmission computer and body control module) and if it sees a electrical signal aka something pulling more power than it should or not pulling enough power than it will throw a code...most likely that is what the issue is and it might just go away on its own if the computer detects it enough times in a row or something and determines that is the new normal lol..but I would contact that alternator manufacture to make sure.

@@livingourdestiny9075 Oh how car electrics were much simpler in the 70-80's. Everyrthing worked but now it is all connected to the canbus and you can't take taps of some cables for power else you get error messages.

In America if you go to the local chain parts store they will check codes for free and reset the computer if nothing is wrong might be the same there

Obviously double check all of your wiring. On some vehicles, when you swap out our change parts, the new part needs to be made known to the vehicles computer. For instance, when I installed the factory fog lights on my VW Routan, I had to take it to the dealer and have them program the engine computer to make the fog lights "known to the computer" and part of the system before they would work.

@@Skips1964 at that point, "hack the planet" kicks in and I wanna DIY! or something...

Ive been watching since he worked in a factory. I bet the place he worked as a machinist was very sad to see him go. He is very talented and skilled

@@izang5800 - What factory was that?

@@jeffreyzain he never said for privacy reasons but imagine how disappointed they were when he left. Notice at the end of the video he says thank you to the patreon supporters for keeping me out of the factory. He mentions it almost every video. In his early vlogs when he worked he woukd mention his job a lot. Just not where it was or who he worked for

@@izang5800 - Thanks. I appreciate that back story of my fave RU-vidr 🥷🏻🎏

He is so talented! The range of ability and knowledge is superb

As a suggestion perhaps a large cooking pot, maybe a 12 quart pressure cooking used for canning, might be found at a second hand store and then modified to become a water storage container.

@@unclebs74 if anyone can modify it.....it’s forestry forest!!

Was thinking the same thing, unfortunately. Best to mount to the floor in a more secure cabinet. Also, the lower center of gravity will help the handling.

Not if you worked there. I'm glad I only did delivery.

Do you think the Home Depot employees watch Foresty Forest.???

pinkerton, if the HD folks workin’ corporate were smart, they’d be watching and taking notes.

Was looking for someone's input on this (since I have none). Now that I've read this, I also wonder if a reputable mechanic with OBDII could reset and update those parameters since it's an oem alternator. Or, in FF style, just get said mechanic to say it's no big deal and live with the new ticker on the dash.

And possibly get a bluetooth OBD scanner so you can clear the code yourself (assuming no actual harm is being done).

@@iammarkstewart I have gone to Auto Value to read/clear codes. They do it for free.

You sound like a lot of fun

@@iammarkstewart first...I'm not a mechanic... but I think the real solution is a hardware swap. Most of the sensors/regulators are wired with resistors/capacitors/etc that are all analog. Summit racing or other aftermarket vendors may have an upgraded sensor/regulator (whatever the offending thing is) that can both cope with a beats of an alternator, and a factory chevy van computer.

I'd be that goof that would say it with a hard T at the end. Just because.

How do you insult water? Hey, you're below 0. What ya gonna do? Freeze?

@@legojenn Water, so tasteless. Water...inflated sense of ego when it gets cold out. Water, has to be so anomalous. Water, so much tension, always at the surface. Water, so pretentious...puts "Dihydrogen oxide" on it's business card. You wanna insult water? That's how you insult water.

Thank you!

@@forestyforest dude seriously ur videos are awesome U, chad from living the van life and mav really have me rethinking getting an Audi and just getting a beast ass van and going everywhere. These videos are an excellent escape from the chaotic world we live in. Thank you man!

I couldn’t agree more!

Wish you all the best, here in boiling Australia I just saw all the news about your brutal weather! 💖

@AlphaWhiskeyCharlie Most of the US. I'm in the NC (southeast). Have had sleet, days of rain, a level 3 tornado over the 7-10 days. People nearby are still without power from the last round of ice. We will have more freezing rain/sleet tonight and most of tomorrow. Followed by 2-3 more inches of rain. Flood warnings will follow winter storm warnings. Thus, we'll be doing all of our routine pre-hurricane preps today, as the forecast is for enough ice to bring down power lines over a large area. Thankful that I don't have to go to the grocery store today. That'll probably be a mob scene with shelves stripped bare of milk, bread, batteries and bottled water.

Same here in Arkansas. It is just cold but next week we should triple our high for today!

And all faux "news" headlines: Green energy fails. When in fact one nuke plant and some of the natural gas generating stations failed in Tx. The North has wind turbines and they are still working, so faux "news" bite me!!!

@@JR-playlists why do up feel the need to bring up faux news reporting in a conversation about weather?

Haha 😄

would be more warmer if those two green curtains are replaced with wood, and a spot light could be mounted on the wood for night time video shootings.

So true. But now living his dream, and being really entertaining. My favourite youtuber.

You actually WANT really smart people working in factories - consider the alternative.

@@janm8477 yea but i was watching the channel when he was a factory worker and he wasn't rolling in the big bucks of factory worker. One of the reasons he started living in his car was because rent was high and he didn't want a roommate anymore.

@@janm8477 I dont get what your saying?
