Your style of "painting" is the best:-))))))))))))))
Yewwww!
You have convinced me to get a jigsaw.
Are you sure you want to have your kitchen or any fluids above your electrical? That seems risky. Best of luck with your new build and adventures.
Looks like the good ole in place visualisation design method. No better way to build it practical.
great song at the start... what is it??
Add permanent wood stove too
If you do cut those holes in the bed platform to let heat come up and want some custom vents/covers for the holes, let me know the ID and I’ll print and send you some. 👍
This is comimg along quite nicely
Be carefull with that warm bottled water, could be legionella in it.
So how much would you charge to build one for me?
I miss your videos
Did B-Quiet get ahold of you? I recommended you to them when they were looking for van builds!
gee whiz look at this guy just taking his sweet time while the crock pot hasn't had a sip of electricity in weeks! You are a bad crock pot dad foresty. HAHA!!!
I like to check if my bath is safe by throwin' in my Gf's hairdryer.
Like, when your GF is in the bath?
SEworld wanted to know if this video was the following... "informative, life changing, useful, enjoyable, calming, heartwarming, inspiring, and other"...
@Paulo Neutegem lol
@Jon fancy a Remax add popping up...
@Paulo Neutegem They want to be funny putting on Home Depot Ads of all things
SEworld is like: Why in the world is not letting us plague his videos with adds 🤑 Foresty's like: Not on MY channel!!! 😎
They must be on to the baby wipes.
Long time listener and first time caller..... As for insulation.... Is there any way to drill and do some foamed insulation between the panels of the interior and the exterior? Like foaming an old house? Just thinking out loud.
Bro waiting for long time for ur video where?
reverse the piano hinge on bed so on underside
Do not go with a cubic mini😟 It is a gimmick!! Small wood is a pain in the ass and goes out every hour Brrrrrr!!! I'm using a stainless steel light quality wood stove in my airstream.🦩 And I've been using woodstoves every type in all my different vessils.Stay tuned I will get motivated to film it next couple of days cheers from another albertian🇨🇦
I just subscribed after watching your last video. I love videos like yours. Build build build.😃 Its my fix. Keep em coming. Thanks.
Waiting for a Foresty Forest news flash is like waiting for Groundhog Day. Every time the dude pops up, it feels like it's gonna be an early spring.
Loving the van build series! Would you be so kind as to post links to those cordless tools you’ve been using? They appear to be somewhat compact compared to what I’ve seen guys in garage-type home shops use! I’m certainly NOT a carpenter or hard core woodworker, so I don’t necessarily need “professional” grade kit. But I DO enjoy using the right quality tool for whatever project I’m trying to do- and those tools look extremely competent, and also manageable for my small hands. Thanks for sharing your extraordinary skills and wonderful adventures with us!! 💐💐💐
Perfect again
Any updates on the next video? Slow and steady wins the race but we're keen to check out how it's going
@Paulo Neutegem Nah, what you need is a Drone Express Air Delivery.
@Foresty Forest Your 'Job number 2' is taking a long time. Take some Ex-lax it'll fix your constipation in no time, Eh! 🤣
Urgent telegram for Foresty Forest... The dog sled is hurrying to deliver your mail. Be patient. Hopefully there will be no more storms this week.
@Foresty ForestOh sweet man that's good news 🙌🏾 Thanks for the reply
Hey Jamie.. I'm waiting on a few things to arrive in the mail.. so i can finish up a certain job. Could be another four days 😟
Just love it, but insulation, I just haven’t seen or heard anything about insulation. And those windows. Surely heat is just flying out of there. Maybe I worry too much. Carry on.
Im amazed! Very inspirational. Lol how did you kearn to do all this stuff my Foresty Friend?
Looking dope, keep up the good work!
I do kinda question putting 3 cooking methods (electric, gas, wood, and croc pot) in such a limited space. That's a lot of space and weight dedicated to 1 task redundancy. Is there no other way you would want to use the space?
I agree. I think we need more cooking options, 3 isn't enough...
I can't wait for Forest to be back baby wiping his chicken before cooking it.
Forest you are so smart! Can't believe you taught yourself how to put all this stuff together! 💯
How much wood in a wood stove could a Foresty Forest chuck if a Foresty Forest could in a wood stove chuck wood? As much wood in a wood stove as a Foresty Forest could chuck if a Foresty Forest could in a wood stove chuck wood.
@Paulo Neutegem You're welcome, Paulo Geppetto. Now gimme a whistle, Eh!
@Michael Rows Thanks a lot man! Your comments are priceless! Ps: My nemesis is Jiminy cricket!
@Paulo Neutegem Dude, your mind chucks like a Master Grasshopper. 🙏
Sounds like that new series with Chuck Norris, Elijah Wood and Forest Whitaker...
I'm waiting to hear some Foresty Forest through the grapevine. But then I remember to listen through the *Beervine.*
@Michael Rows 😂
@Paulo Neutegem Oh, I'd love to try some your Portuguese 🇵🇹 *Pieonnetti* 🇵🇹 ... 🤣
@Michael Rows lol! No man! That is real food. As in Peacan pie witch is my favorite!
@Paulo Neutegem Wait what, is that some kind of food fetish?
Michael Rows Now I feel like eating pumpkin pizza!
That wood stove is causing quite a Beaver dam in the comments. Don't worry, Foresty Forest got his handy Woodpecker to take care of business.
Its coming along
Dude this is awesome!!! Motivation for me
5:35 you gotta pull those wires back out and twist them. you cant risk having a lose piece of wire shorting something out.
ok I will tell you a warm tape or electrical tape + wire on the glass and then the solar battery you only need a couple of batteries you need the glasses will always be warm
Why not use the flexible lightweight solar panels that could conform to the shape of the roof?
Hey forestry! My girlfriend noticed that you have your head at the back door but in a video a while ago you talked about not wanting that because of the possibility of being rear-ended while sleeping on the side of the road. Love the videos!!
Is he serious day 23? No way that has taken him over three weeks, has to be a inside joke. Please don't think I'm having a go at Mr.FF, not saying that to be mean!!!!!
Looking cool AF 😁👊🏻...yes to the wood burner for many reasons ☺️✌🏻
Posting today?
Very nice
You know it's serious when you hear your first name
Dogbert's got a sunday newspaper rolled very tight! And he aint look too happy!
Time for an update Simon
You heard him!!! Whoever u are!
yea waiting for the next one
Awesome forest. Your putting in a wood stove Wicked !!!!!
Great Stuff. Just stumbled across this channel. Awesome. Now I need to go back and start from the beginning. Getting some good ideas for my Honda build!!
Something about u I can't explain but u take people away from there problems .and this terrible life. God bless u with ur journey..always my friend gb
Foresty I am camped out at Lake Mead Nevada and a van just like yours complete with tinted windows drove by in the near distance. Are you in Nevada?
Well, I think you shouldn't use wipes on your chicken. It's weird. That's what I think. So there.
The first time I saw it I thought he'd gone nuts. Then when I realized it was a joke it was triple the fun. 😁
You know he's joking, right--he's joking, that's why baby wipes come up often.
I want to see that wood stove insulation you ever thought about adding a TV
All good but do you install the spoiler, neons, TVs and 500 watt system sound system?
I guess you have to appease your paying crock pot cult subscribers, but with your new power supply, I'd dump it and go for a vintage pyrex bowl with lid and a microwave. I did that years ago and have never missed that old crude pot. No appeal. Make a double reflectix cozie for the bowl and lid and save even more on electricity while your food cooks away slowly without any electricity.
Microwave? You sound like a city slicker. Good luck with your Ramen noodles, Eh! 🤣
post frequent videos please, I love your videos but it's too long of a wait.
Forest , how can I send you pictures? I use to have a van like yours , you could make a custom box in the rear window and use it as a refridgerator during winter , no electricity needed.
Hi from Newfoundland , Foresty... Great idea, the Wood stove.... check out the Dwarf mini wood stove... seems better than the Cubic Mini according to the SEworld videos i watched... built in ash pan ... burns longer over night ... many pluses.... several vans on SEworld , similar to yours, have a wood stove .... dry heat , free fuel, save battery power -win-win-win.... who knows, they may donate one to you !! Chris
How many amp the new Alternator going to be?
Great videos as always. Unfortunately you guys have a very limited choice of Diesel Vans compared to Europe. Most can get an auxiliary Diesel Heater mounted in the engine compartment from the factory which uses the cars existing heat ducts and vents. That would eliminate the need for extra space in the cab and extra Diesel tank.
I'm just waiting for the next video .
So I know you do a lot of slow cooker recipes. I just seen something tiktok. You maybe interested in. It was a pancake made in a slow cooker. But being as you live in a van it maybe a perfect recipe. For someone on the road.
I need your address. I want to send you some Carmex. You will love it.
Were you singing the Foresty Forest intro while you were showering? haha
Walking around the house singing "Foresty Forrest he lives in a van. Foresty Forest!" the husband asking what song do you keep singing? What is a Foresty Forest?
It's a forest... a forest that smells... foresty!
what the name of the diesel heater you have and what size is it or does it matter why i'm asking is because i want to put one in my camping trailer it's a 28 footer will i need to put two diesel heater or could i get away with putting just one
the sound is very low
Foresty, when you're hiking so much as you are, always alone and very often in a bear habitat, I strongly advice you to have your bear spray on a belt around your waist, and NOT in the backpack. Chances are that if you encounter a bear in close proximity, it will be a surprise for both you and the bear, and you probably won't have much time to take the spray out of the backpack. Furthermore, you may become separated from the backpack, which will leave you defenseless. So unless you're in big open spaces, the spray should always be instantly accessible. I hope you are well-informed of what you should/should not do in case of different scenarios of bear encounters. Stay safe and keep it up! Nice progress!
Definitely need a fully automatic baby wipe dispenser. Also yes do the woodstove. They make amazing small but awesome ones now. May I suggest you seriously consider a nice flat panel tv mounted on a swing-out metal arm. Or just mount it above the kitchen area. Gonna send you a nice new lead-free chemical-free crockpot as a house warming gift.
Not sure why you are worried about that outlet location if your not worried about your kitchen actually sitting directly on top of your fully exposed entire electrical system? WTF?
Put in a little bit of light green and some orange to contrast..... all grey looks like a bunker Big van though
Wow your videos are starting to do numbers Forestry
A wood stove would be an easy way for some good cheap heat. But it would take space in the van. As well as take away from your stealth because you’d have a chimney coming out of the top of your van. Depends what you want more. Cheap heat or more space and stealthiness.
Nice.
I saw you have a crock pot drawer, have you ever considered ditching it for an Instant Pot instead? Vanlife tested by many others and does what a crock pot does plus so much more. You should investigate, I'm taking mine to the grave!
Looking fabulous.
Unless you cover all those windows as well as the 'walls' with insulation, it will have no effect. Just saying, eh.
0:20 One second you're painting out of a can the next you're eating out of the can?? Oh wait, replay shows different can! LOL Seriously, love your vids!
@0:46 Crockpot has made an appearance! LOL.
More videos or we riot
@Jon Okay! Dogbert eh?! Newspapers riot agains Foresty!!!
@Paulo Neutegem it's actually Dogbert with a roll of newspaper which makes it even more threatening than you could imagine 😁
@Jon Says a dog with a club at hand. Berry threatening!
@Foresty Forest Nice. Good to know you're rinsing and wiping really well 👍
New video is just a few bean rinses and baby wipes away.
Release more videos
Foresty Forest, allow me to introduce you to Kim: www.foodnetwork.com/shows/guys-grocery-games/episodes/rising-stars You're awesome man. I watch you so much I saw this chick and thought "Damn, this is the chick for Foresty Forest." Vegetables and Bacon.
Are you in Airdrie Alberta ?!! We used to live there and it looks like you are at our old Home Depot!! Stay warm Foresty we love watching you !!
Calgary mostly.. van is almost ready to sail away from the city.
Best show on TV right now!
Building the van to have a chick come over
Dont forget there's room for a cradle in the rear part too. 🤣
Would be great if u could do 2 videos a week
Really enjoy watchn your videos
We are awaitn a new video plzzzzzz
Haha working on it man !
re: your alternator ground, 'BADGE EVERYBODY NEEDS ONE', you should have him on speed dial, also a fellow Kanuck.
Haha so i hear! I figured it out though, should be all good once i receive all the pieces.
You've probably answered this somewhere, but do you have training as an engineer or something? How do you know all this stuff?! Keep up the good work!
Now thats nice and roomy! Now you can have a guest! 🥳
I'd like to see how your wifi setup works, or if you see any good wifi setups for your van in remote areas
Great job!
Take the second chair out
What is the music at the intro... nice pop / soft rock vibe .... is it unlicensed SEworld music .... I would love to listen to it more LOL
Hi from Newfoundland! I have a crockpot same colour and everything, as yours and I love it

@Jon Definitely! You can also use a Flying J's gift card.
@Paulo Neutegem Can I use my Home Depot card?
Insert 5 Cents and leave your comment. When he comes back from Home Depot he will read it asap.
Great videos I love your way of doing things
really cool dude, been wanting to build a 5ton dry van into affordable mobile living to afford racing rally car forever. a tought on the wood stove is save it till you insulate the roof, build a roof top fireplace (outside of course) so you can have a vent and fan to draw in smell and heat as well as open the doors in the woods and let the ashes buck on the drive out. Keep up the good work inspiring stuff
Just a thought and I may be totally wrong. A wood stove on the inside of your vehicle that has liquid gas in it? If there are fumes inside your van from the diesel fuel or from the underside of your van from the exhaust, into your van if there are and undetected leaks. Gas fumes are more lethal for inflammability.
