I love that your life is actually mostly composed of side quests.

Foresty, you pointed out in the logbook at the cabin that a lady named Kim Gardner had been to the cabin numerous times and that she is well known. I had never heard of her. I found an online article about her in Adventure Sports Journal. Her story of overcoming serious difficulties in her life by running up and down mountains was very inspirational.
Thank you for noticing her log entries and mentioning her in the video.
You and Kim have a lot in common because you both are people who serve as good role models and sources of inspiration to all of us. Thank you for that also!

Love how you’ve reclaimed your life from YouTube. You post videos on your timeline and you take time off to live your life your way. Awesome approach to YouTube and to life. Your top priority is living your life your way, YouTube is secondary. Well done!

Rocko brings Big Smiles 😃

You are an incredible athlete. Only someone in peak physical condition can do the hikes that you do. Hope you can continue for many more years. Be safe.

A lot, of my YouTube involves skimming over and starting but not finishing videos —- but this channel I always watch START TO FINISH! Awesome!

Rocko goes above and beyond as your little helper. I'm so happy that she got her driver's license. She so cute

🥰

Loved seeing Rocko demanding to sit on your lap when you were in the cabin! So cute :)

I live in Vegas, and I really enjoy exploring the old ghost towns and mining cabins around this area...and yeah, you hit the nail on the head. The most amazing thing about all of them is...how in the hell did they get the materials up there to build that stuff?? We have helicopters, and engines, and modern technology. They had mules and donkeys. When it's 120F outside, in the desert, in a place with no natural springs... there's a cabin, or a hole in the ground where they were mining. It's just incredible how they did all that stuff 100+ years ago. Great video, Foresty!

Is there a better creator out there than FF? I think not.
He is L-I-V-I-N and we get to come along.
Thanks, Simon, from the bottom of our hearts.

What an exciting adventure. The history alone is fascinating. Thank you for taking us to a place none of us will probably ever see. Very cool!

[MrMarkAMartin]

You are one weird dude Foresty! Most Youtubers would have made 5 videos out of that adventure. That's why I love your channel and tell everyone I know about you too.

When did Rocko get her license?!?!?! 2 summits in one vid, plus a hidden cabin make for a fantastic Foresty Friday! The scenery is gorgeous, thank you for sharing it with us.

I love that you let Rocko drive once in a while. I love your videos, very creative. Mike from MASS.

Another great video from Rocko taking the wheel, Cozy sleeping bag for 1 and 1/4, amazing Timelapse of the night sky to that cool a$$ cabin. Another summit to boot. Totally appreciate your commitment leave no trace.

One of my favorite videos so far! Gonna show this one to my 93 y.o. Dad.. we used to back pack in that area in the 70s, but not as adventurous as this..
