Mt. Edziza Provincial park is a volcanic complex that was active as little as 1,300 years ago. The Tahltan First Nations people have been living in this area since 10,000 years ago. This area was important to them for gathering Obsidian to make tools and weapons. Presently, access is very difficult and it is normally recommended to take a float plane into it.

    This should be on Netflix. Foresty has really worked hard to bring us places we can only dream of. Thank you
  • its interesting how often an unassuming, soft spoken, peace loving (not necessarily muscle bound or macho) person has the biggest balls and has the passion to do the most strenuous, dangerous, physically challenging undertakings...born out of pure love and passion for nature.. Big respect Foresty

    That has to be about the shittiest hike I've ever seen anyone take. Grizzly bears, constant bugs, slogging through freezing water and sticky mud. Full credit to you FF for fully 'embracing the suck' of this hike, and thanks for taking us with you!
  • My wife and two other women spent a week navigating their way across the volcanic moonscape of Mt Edziza back in 2011. Just after starting the trek she came down with some sort of a stomach bug but managed to complete the backpack. It was a wild time seeing caribou and bears, they even  managed to get lost at one point. The ladies arrived at Telegraph Creek 6 days later and called across, as instructed, for their prearranged boat ride over the mighty Stikine River. She was 58 at the time. Pretty proud of that girl.

    I love the regular ten- to fifteen-minute videos, but this was epic, and it made total sense to do it as a single video. Thanks for all your hard work, Simon. I am always conscious that for every trip you take, you've also got to set up all the shots and take the footage that is later transformed into these experiences. It must be exhausting, and it's much appreciated.

    Foresty and Rocko. Canadian national treasures. 🇨🇦
  • The Swiss Army of trail dogs, perfect! Rocco just keeps getting more adorable the older she gets. You and her are the perfect pair. Thank you for always making us smile!

    Love the fact that adverts are a minimum, product placment seems natural, and Foresty makes enough to continue his lifestyle without the need to milk it. Just makes the whole thing a wholesome viewing experience. Love it. Highlight of the week in our household. Thanks for doing what you do.
  • @kevhead1525
    You really picked the right kind of dog for all ways you hike. And what a winner she is.
  • @shawnlund
    It’s nice to see someone who has a healthy respect for bears but not a unfounded fear.

    Congratulations on 400,000 subscribers, Foresty! Break open that bottle of champagne and we will all say a collective CHEERS to the best content creator on YouTube! 🍾 🎉
  • @DoctorOfSpice
    So, I know Foresty always survives these adventures because they get posted on YouTube after-the-fact, but I still get the cold sweats every time he runs into wildlife like bears. Thankfully he has Rocko to protect him.

    That bear looking at Forestry on the bike, oh nice Uber Eats delivery!
  • @BongRipBing

    What a great shot of her standing on the rock by the flowers. She is the swiss army knife of adventure dogs. What a slog of a hike, appreciate the ride, paddle & hike along.
  • @tommackay7433
    I used to backpack with my German Sheppard and I remember how she knew exactly where my remote off trail campsite was from the year before. She led me right to it.
  • @vacationocean
    I am convinced Rocko is living a life better than most dogs could even imagine! Adventure on! Congrats on 400k right around the corner. Well deserved and a huge feat. to be celebrated.
  • @ohcrapwhatsnext
    Rocko..."like the swiss army knife of adventure dogs". She is amazing for sure.
  • @jasontroyer4409
    In celebration of 400,000 subscribers and because that was better than any movie I've recently seen.

    "I remember seeing that mysterious foot path to the south- I just can't let things like that go." I salute you, Foresty Forest and faithful companion, Rocko.
