ABOUT ME
Hi I'm Loui! I am an adventurer at heart who loves to share every step of the way. My travels so far ,via camper van, jeep camper, and foot, have taken me all over North America. I started this channel in 2019 in hopes of inspiring other people like me who didn't exactly grow up living an adventurous lifestyle and who might be afraid to get started on their own adventures. Since then, it has turned into my full time job and something that I very passionate about. So, stick around to see the journey unfold!

Hey everyone! Thanks for being patient while I took a little break from this platform! I was however posting stories regularly while I was off on my Instagram: instagram.com/adventure_time_loui

[@adventurebythemile]

I have a question: when you cross the border with your dog do they check any health certificate or shot records?

[@adventurebythemile]

I’ve never seen a video of going to the artic ocean! I’m excited to watch!!

Loui I don’t think you have to have all these earth shaking happenings, it’s just nice seeing you as you go through your journey.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Yeah it’s definitely a struggle on this platform to find balance of producing content that will help you grow and not pressuring yourself too much!

Take it from a 59 year old, you don't have to figure out your life just because society expects it. If you want to great but you don't have to. Living in joy is the best focus of any life, everything else will fall into place with it. ❤

[@danreasinger2115]

So true

[@danreasinger2115]

Thanks

[@quietlife7186]

Loui, you are special to me. You don't have to be doing anything spectacular. Just being able to "hangout" with you and William is a joy to this elderly, old lady shut-in who rarely gets to go anywhere but to a doctor's office. I really enjoy watching you and seeing all of the amazing places that you share.❤ I have missed you so much!!!

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Thanks for coming back 🥰 I’m happy we can provide some entertainment for you!

[@fillhixx]

Don’t let content demand hijack your life. Run your business, don’t let your business run you.

[@margoburns9085]

I completely understand your amazing relationship with William. I did years of back country adventures in my Chevy Blazer with my dog Freddy. He passed away in December at age 14. We had 13 yrs of canoeing, camping and off roading together. I also had to alter my adventures to accommodate his age, but he was loving the mountains right up to his last days. Another awesome video!❤

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Aww my condolences 💐 your dog had an amazing life! Definitely all we can do is keep them doing the things they love but in a way that works for their age!

[@ollie2034]

I am so happy to see a video from you. You definitely don’t have to show every aspect of your life. You need to enjoy the moment and not have to worry about filming all the time. I am just happy to see whatever you can share

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Thanks for being here Ollie 🥰

[@kati-ana]

Happy Belated Birthday Loui. Hi sweet William. Bless your heart about your knee. Loui thank you for taking such great care of William. And oh my gosh LOUI I say the same things too about my fur babies, "I birthed them" and don't ever call them "DOGS", they are "the kids" lol. My eldest boy is 15.5 now and coming near to the end of his life and it's killing me. I've loved ALL of my boys fiercely but this boy is a tad bit extra because he was my husbands service and he was what we both shared and loved together. Losing him is like losing the very last of my husband. Ok enough of that. Loui I'm glad you are able to know when it's time to turn the camera off for "you time". That's a healthy way to live. Never apologize for that. We adore Simon and Rocko and so happy we found you and William through them. Take care darling. Keep you and Willam safe.

[@willie163]

I hope William has a speedy recovery!!! What an angel!!

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Thanks Willie! Hoping he will be feeling much better in a month or so ❤

[@zemtek420]

@@AdventureTimeLoui something you might want to do to enrich his life is teach him some easy things. I know since my RubyDoo tore her ACL Feb 1 this year I have worked on teaching her some new things. She was starting to seem depressed since I wont let her chase critters, climb up stairs or go outside without a leash. Well that last one we finally stopped doing just recently. I do hope you and others will check us out as well on Pawsuasive Dog Teaching. My RubyDoo knows over 60 tasks so far. I am a professional dog teacher with over 30 years of exp.

He is hurting and needy now. Just love him.

[@Scorpio1168]

You definitely need a healthy balance between living your life and what you decide to share with your community. I'm glad to see you out with Simon, as I think your friendship with Simon is worth its weight in gold. Lastly you should get a "Joolca" portable shower that runs off propane so you can get a hot shower. All you really need is a good clean stream yo throw the hose in and outdoor hot shower it is. Safe travels!!

[@Inglewood_Addition]

We love you Loui & William, and have been missing you. Glad you’re back but understand needing a break from time to time so you don’t ever need to apologize and/or feel bad for doing so. Looking forward to watching you on your next adventure(s). 🖤

[@tittyskillet3413]

Missed you. Glad youre ok

[@veeemit9719]

I admit pit bulls make me nervous, but William has always been the most chill, sweet dog ever.😊

[@xcalibertrekker6693]

Might want to try that one again.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Im glad we can show the positive side of this breed!

[@Tinalicous]

@@xcalibertrekker6693 My niece has a fear of pitbulls cuz she watched 2 tear her cat apart infront of her. So yeah, some people are fearful because of their experiences.

[@ElevenD6]

You're suffering from Awesome. Nobody else would understand, because they don't have it :) Actually you both have it!

[@anonymeister123]

Our dog has completely tore his CCL. Goes in for surgery in a few days. I’d also try those hip and joint chews to help slow the development of arthritis. Hopefully William feels better soon!

[@PriyaNembhard]

Don't worry about exciting content. Watching you out in nature is enough. ❤

Dogs are so loving faithful,and the very best company I love them to death.❤

[@cynthianorrod1928]

My 11 yr old dog ,(with Williams build), had her L knee replaced 2 years ago and is having her R knee replaced in 1 week. The recovery is very tedious but she felt SO much better after the surgery (-; I dread this next surgery but know it's the right choice for her!

[@happynotes5106]

I'll pray for a smooth surgery and quick rehab process!

[@vagabonddeesadventures8491]

So good to see you have a friend in Simon. Glad someone checks in with you occasionally and that you check in with him. When I was first watching his channel I wondered what would happen if he had a problem when he goes to such desolate and amazing places. I will not be rude and ask you any personal questions. Looking forward to seeing your journey to the arctic. Most of us aren’t looking for amazing every day but your scenery and how you learn about the places and the culture of the people is way more than enough. Please be careful. Too many native women go missing up there. I say a prayer for your safety every time I watch a video. Be well. Stay safe.

We missed you and William, Loui. Sometimes you just need a break. You don't have to be doing anything special; we just enjoy watching you and William. We totally understand about William. We have a baby boy dog too and we would do anything for him. We are looking forward to following you on your summer adventures! ♥♥

Great vid! Try not to over think and do what makes you feel good!

[@jackiegammon2065]

I have a pit as well, and they are wonderful. My Brooke has the same issues, my one suggestion to you is to NOT let him jump in/out of your jeep. I know it's a pain, but after seeing Brooke, I too had to make that decision. I have a ramp that folds in half while in storage and others have foldable stairs. I know that it takes up extra space, but I think it's well worth the effort. Good luck!

[@cathiecollins7320]

You are very kind, sweet and talented!❤

[@jenford7078]

Okay, I have to pause at 6:00 and compliment you on the editing, photography and music in this one... Wow! You are growing as a filmmaker. Louie and I congratulate you! 💞 Sweet ol William, he's such a good boy. And at the end of the video... Can't wait to see your Arctic trip videos! Yeah!!!

[@user-nl1ym1oq3s]

You and William are so Beautiful. You brought tears to my eyes. Im so blessed to have my fur Baby Teddy. I have 2 children and 6 grandkids but they don't live really close. My daughter-in-law got Teddy a miniature poodle for me. Everyday he waits on me to get home from work. My husband and I treat him like he's a baby. William and you are so lucky to have each other. Your such a Blessing to watch.

[@jomicheleseidl2033]

I'm so excited that you got to go out fishing in a kayak! I'm really cheering for you as you continue to pick up the fishing skills. There is so much to know. I'm sure you'll do what is needed so that William continues to enjoy a good comfortable life with "just right" adventures for an older fella. RE: the trip to Tuk...Don't underestimate the mosquitos and biting flies. You've got to have a hat with a net that tucks into your clothes. And finding shade and coolness for sleeping on days with 24 hours of daylight will be challenging.

[@redrockrajahdog]

I wonder if an ortho brace would help William? Yes, life changes with an older dog. It's beautiful seeing how much you love him.

I drove the dumpster last summer as a solo female. I took extra gas but did not need it….filled up whenever I got the chance. People said a flat tire was guaranteed but I did not have one. The ranger told me speed was a major factor so I took it slow and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Yukon is beautiful…can’t wait to see your video. Have fun…your vehicle is built for roads like that one.

[@dynoreed7235]

I'm glad you are back. I had a sweet Shiba Inu ChowChow mix that tore both of her rear CCLs one after the other about a year apart. Our vet drid a repair surgery that helped wonderfully. But it's always hard to see your fur baby in pain. I hope William heals quickly. All the best to everyone.

[@finnrider777]

Just glad your VERY GOOD DOG PAL and Loui is okay. Have fun you two stay safe.

[@jeffsoyk6994]

Thanks for sharing

[@vietopia-san]

Loui, you are super special! Thank you for sharing your slice of life. Good luck with healing, Yung William ❤️‍🩹 My german shepherd completely tore her CCL and I had to get her TPLO surgery. It was scary and took some time to heal (~4months from surgery to leaping for snowballs), but three years later she’s a strong hiker and no more knee issues. Sounds like William’s is only partially torn, but I wanted to share that even in ~worst case scenario~ the surgery works really well. And for the joints, fish oil gel vitamins and Cosequin (glucosamine tablets) are a tasty treat and help keep the joints lubricated. And some galliprant prescribed from your vet to help with inflammation for the big hike days. Thank you again for sharing 🩵 wishing you lots of love and luck on your summer journey

[@-Chugwater-]

A lot of people give their dogs as do I Glucosamine and Chondroitin for those joints. Ask the vet about it if he is not already on it. No prescription needed.

[@tomtommy2227]

I was about to say get on the water with your dog then saw the pack raft!! My dog and I have been from coast to coast to coast etc and we used to run 10 mile trail runs together, do multi-day backpacking trips etc but he is 13.5yrs old now. I made the adjustment from travel on foot to canoe adventures with him. He and I spent over 100 nights camping last summer that included a 28 night unsupported canoe trip! He uses a ramp to get into my Jeep now, it took him a while to be cool with it but all is good now :-) This season he wants to stay up later than I do beside the fire. Have a look at the Canol rd either before or after the Dempster, it is fantastic in that area. Happy travels!

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

What a lucky dog!! aww 🥰 thanks for the tip I will check it out!

[@patb4622]

I’m so glad that Foresty introduced me to your channel. I love to see you and William adventuring and am looking forward to your Arctic Circle trip. Hope William’s knee is better fast

[@moons.and.mornings]

I'm happy that your break was self imposed and that nothing bad happened! Take breaks like that whenever you need, but also know that you don't have to be doing something special (like driving to the arctic) for us to find it entertaining. In addition, don't worry about the special things not being 'original' - everything has been done before, but not by you, and that touch of you is why we are all here :) Besides that, as someone who lives quite high up north, I completely get how much easier life feels when it's bright! I always miss my bedtime now because I just want to be up and do things and enjoy nature. This year in July I'm also traveling further up, so we'll both get our first midnight sun! Exciting! PS, cuddly William is adorable!

Happy Birthday, Loui! So good to see you again. You may think time here or there is too boring to post, but it's always a good day when there's a video from Loui. No pressure - take time if you need it, but the content of your videos is just lovely, no matter how 'mundane' it may seem to you. Soothing and so much beauty, always. Your appreciation for the simple things is a wonderful quality that I enjoy so much. Yay for you, you have your very own water craft! Love that Dutch Baby, and the adorable little Dutch oven. William is so lucky to have a parent who loves him so much and will take good care of him when things get difficult. And yeah, you are special. Your trip won't be like any other. It'll be a Loui trip. And we'll love every minute.

Despite there being things to complain about, youre an inspiration when it comes to being greatful. Thank you! As much as I complain about my apartment here downtown and want to live the van life, im pretty lucky to have it and the price and location and all the amenities, the weather... if you ever want to try the "city life" let me know ill trade you my plac for your jeep straight up for a few weeks or months or whatever. Im half joking but sort of am dieing to get out and explore more ive been stuck in the city too long and curretnyl saving up for a vehicle to get out there. Thats another thing , vehicles and their prices, have me discouraged too, gas prices... our cheapest ev costs 40k, thast the average salary in Canada, meanwhile in China, the cheapest EV cost 32k of their money, which is only 1/4 of the avg salary. Seems like we get a worse deal here driving. Anyway if youre seriouse about going overseas China is pretty cool i hear, have you seen their sky highway? really impressive engineering, they're really high tech over there, we're starting to look like the backward ones heh but it would be interesteing to see it from a travellers perspective for sure.

I could not afford the opperation so we doing the natural way. I cant wait till she not limping at all. I figure another month at least.
