Hey I’m Loui, A couple months ago my mom and I and our two dogs Lady and William arrived on an island in Southeast Alaska. We had never been to Alaska and after traveling almost the entirety of the US we decided that it was no better place own property. After a bunch of research we settled on a a 3 acre plot of land and bought it sight unseen. As you may know winter is approaching us and living in vehicles was not going to cut it for the cold season so we are renting out a cabin while we wait on building a driveway to access and live on our new property next year. We are SO excited to spend our first winter getting to know the people and land in our new home and share it all with you. So don’t forget to subscribe and click the notification bell to find out if we make it through our first cold dark Alaskan Winter.

I just love William with the dog toy. Him running off with that toy was priceless.

[@MyArnette]

My thoughts just sleep while you can your body must need it, so many are complaining about being so tired laying down then can't sleep. Thank God for it and enjoy. You deserve it. You two are amazing

[@lindac7146]

I think you've found the answer to your sleeping too late, schedule something to do early enough in the morning to get you out of bed. What a generous subscriber. Glad you were gifted with so much to help you through. Glad the patron thought of the furry babies too. Beautiful footage. Thx for sharing.

[@lexistapleton687]

jus to let u kno it’s ok to sleep in . A hundred yr old woman told me a piece of advice on how she lived so long she said people need too sleep! Eliminate stress, that’s the Key. Do nothing to the extreme! Take time to enjoy life.

[@SimonaRich]

Excellent advice. Working for myself, I'm very grateful I can sleep as long as I want. Why to wake up so early if the body asks for more sleep.

[@SherriceSledgeThomas]

OMG! The unboxing! It felt like a birthday party or Christmas. So thoughtful of the gifter.

[@samanthasunshine1766]

SO VERY THOUGHTFUL ❤️! SUCH A BLESSING!!

[@veeemit9719]

What a blessing you have in such generous friends.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

SERIOUSLY such a blessing!

[@joy5004]

Hi, having spent many winters in Alaska, Bristol Bay Area, I found the Full Spectrum Lights on a timer worked well with Vitamin D supplements. Time the lights to come on for sunrise time of 6am. If that doesn’t work fly to Costa Rica.

[@ashleyholloway792]

You could use a light alarm clock. A ultra violet light shines on you when your alarm goes off. Oh and it may be a good idea to check the health of the trees on your land before you start to build. Incase you need to remove any to avoid tree falls near your home or walking paths.

[@carolreid876]

Wow, that was truly a beautiful experience. It’s almost unbelievable. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. And the patreon gift made me feel so excited; as if I was at a birthday party watching you open your gifts. What a thoughtful, beautiful gesture. ❤️🙏🏼

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

It will be a gesture that we will remember FOREVER!

[@terristenacious2279]

You cuddle your dogs as much as you need too! When it gets cold youll really be cuddling just to keep warm!♥️♥️🐾🐾

[@liqdelshaun]

If you don’t do it already... Exercise in the morning! It’s something to look forward to, you can do it first thing in the morning so it doesn’t get in the way of things later in the day and helps you fall asleep faster and improves sleep quality overall.

[@kellystinydreamsbus]

I worked nights for many years and was always a late sleeper. Almost 4 years ago I started adopting birds. I've been naturally waking with them and the sunrise, or before, ever since. I absolutely love it! Early mornings, in the mountains especially, are so magical. 💜☕

[@PossiblePotential]

Sooo good! You should make postcard prints of your glacier footage/ other scenic footage and send those for your Patreons. Or sale large prints/canvases .

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

That’s a great idea!

[@SimonaRich]

Awesome idea

[@estherstephens1858]

That’s an AWESOME idea!

[@SimonaRich]

Wow that was sooooo nice for someone to send you all these things. Probably the person has the experience in living in remote places.

[@11herbsandspices]

Am I the only one who saw William in the shadow of the ice chunk at 22:44? ;^) So fun! Beautiful, thoughtful gifts, and that glacier was absolutely unreal. Best part of this video is seeing the love being showered upon you two and your pups by friends. It definitely gives me hope!

[@bigtsperspective5831]

Love the new edits . Not gonna lie . I’m going to live vicariously through some of your vids. Take lots of pics and vids for $. For get about the sun , set alarms and follow them. I’m 40 an cannot be asleep past 430am . Set my alram for work when I was 18 , an now I never need it. I wish I had people like you an your mom in my comunity. Alaska is lucky to have you 😁❤️

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Thanks friend!! I hope that we can at least be a part of your digital community!

[@theriverqueen]

I love that someone sent you such wonderful stuff!

[@molly8789]

Hey! I live in a place with pretty cold, dark winters with very little sun. We have an alarm clock with a light that slowly gets brighter as you wake up. It's been pretty helpful and helps introduce light gradually into a room even though the sun isn't up yet, kind of like an artificial sunrise.

[@jennifercesario9238]

Oh my gosh! The woman who sent you all of the stuff is literally so, so kind, and generous 🤗what a sweetheart!

[@chanthechinook7830]

I just moved into a sweet lil’ cabin in the Redwoods of NorCal. I’m soooo happy. It took me 18mo to find it and it was totally worth the wait. You guys will find pure contentment when your cabins are done!

[@romonasafree3151]

Wow, this was so enjoyable that I watched it twice! Christmas in October is certainly fun! But the glacier footage was magnificent! I agree about figuring out how to give yourself something to look forward to in the morning. I am considering volunteering twice a week for that very reason. But there is a lot to mull through with the way the world is right now!

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

True about the a lot to mull through. I feel strange starting to do things like normal again. It's definitely part of the figuring out how to enjoy life like normal again haha

[@romonasafree3151]

@@AdventureTimeLoui I just committed to a volunteer training tomorrow at a social service organization called Prism in the town where I live. I'm hoping that being around people in a safe way while working for a common good will help me to feel like things are more normal. Truth is, I think we all have to figure out a way to create new normals that feel life giving and forward looking. I know you will be able to find/create what works for you, Loui! You are truly an exceptionally brave and powerful young woman...but how could you not be with a mother as powerful and loving as Bex! You will be more than ok wherever you land.

[@TroyOttosen-jg7tt]

As a longtime Alaskan resident who lived in this area you filmed , it’s hard to describe to people the place, especially those who have never been up here! No place on earth like coastal Alaska. Simple.😉👍

[@thatboholife5150]

The gifts were so kind. There are still lovely people in the world.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

For real! It’s a good reminder that most people mean well in this world!

[@simonewright2951]

I'm in AWE when viewing NATURAL BEAUTY. Thank you for your perspective🌹🌹

[@ajusbflyyyadventurervlifeb696]

I’m so happy for you both. Such great Karma brings wonderful people.

[@thelisaofmonalisa4829]

Oh goodness this was such a great video! So fun to see your joy opening the packages of the generous supporter. And the glacier footage is amazing!!!!

[@roseburke4012]

You could save money by getting a couple of extreme sleeping bags and an extreme medium tent with a camp stove outfit for warmth and cooking. Put it on your property. You can get acclimated to the weather in your part of Alaska that way.

[@AaronHendu]

For waking up early when it's still dark...it's all about routine for me. At the start, might take some work...multiple alarms...pick ones with the most irritating alarm sound, and put them across the room so you have to physically get up to turn them off. Make sure there is no "auto-off" for the alarm...pick ones you have to manually turn the alarm off. Also...no treats before bed except for maybe a bedtime tea. Perhaps put a lamp or light on a timer so that it turns on at the time you want to be awake and turns on / off at the same time everyday. Once you have the routine, the alarms can be scaled back and you'll barely need them. Also...make sure to always go to bed at a decent time...if you want to be up at 8:00am, make sure you are in bed asleep by midnight.

[@kit3182]

I love the beginning when your mom is trying to clean up at 1pm and can’t. She needs coffee! 😂 I love y’all! Such a beautiful place y’all are in! Still can’t wait until y’all are in your land!✨✨✨

[@charlycarter6806]

You all are proving that you don't have to be on the road to find adventure. Adventure is an attitude. Tell Captain Danny I cried when I saw the glacier.

[@kell909]

Your drone footage is spectacular! The footage of the icebergs at the end were beautiful too. I so enjoy your videos and your mom's too! Thank you!

[@mariahwhisper712]

Sometimes if I wanna fix my sleep schedule I'll pull an all nighter and then go to sleep super early the next night. Some other things that make me wanna get out of bed is making smoothies when I wake up, listen to music and dance/sing my heart out, as well as flow arts. Hula hooping in the morning and getting my body moving helps me get my motivational juices flowing

[@afroboricua]

I don’t know if someone already suggested this, but you should try planning to do something you really like early in the morning. Nothing work or chore related (even if you enjoy it). Something you really enjoy… even if it’s a small guilty pleasure. Something that gets you out of bed. This small guilty pleasure will act as your motivation to get out of bed so it’s not a chore, then keep yourself busy with work or chores so you don’t get back in bed.

[@maranutt775]

So cool Loui! Miss you, but so glad you guys are having such awesome adventures!

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Miss you too Mara! 😍🥰

[@cindyloehding6037]

That was truly incredible. Breathtaking!! Thank you for taking us along with you!

[@leestimis9264]

Time stamp 23:50. Water color perfect picture. A must do. 🥰

[@blackpearlz13]

Absolutely beautiful Loui. The glacier looks unreal..What an experience

[@estherstephens1858]

Your videos (both yours and your mom) are absolutely amazing and breathtaking. That was so thoughtful and gracious of that subscriber to send the gifts. I bet you’re missing your mom but I love that she’s spending time with HER mom. Please stay safe and warm.

[@Locd4life707]

Seems like you ladies are making alot of friend in the community.👍 Enjoy your gifts and treats! Angels do exist still! 😃 That was so sweet of your subcriber! Enjoy and stay blessed! 🙏

[@mysticalmisfit1332]

Amazing!! All of the goodies you all received 🙌🏽🙌🏽 William & Lady are adorable 🥰

[@dorothy2063]

Have you tried a Sunlamp? Sunlamps in the morning and to turn off equipment and movies by 8 pm for sleep training may help?✨🤗

[@ilovelushxo]

Omg those clips at the end were such a treat! So beautiful

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

So glad you enjoyed them!

[@depilou]

The glacier took my breath away! WOW!!!!!

[@belindaknowles7440]

What a beautiful video. The glacier was amazing! Thank you for sharing😊

[@SherriceSledgeThomas]

I can’t wait to hear the tips for waking up earlier in that part of the country this time of year. William reminds me of our childhood pit. His name was Spank.

[@AdventureTimeLoui]

Spank is such a cute name! 😍

[@kristenj3517]

I grew up in Alaska. You just get used to it. But try one of those alarms that light up as if it was the sun. I didn't have one but it may help. And in the summer black out shades. :-) And if Alaskans put their life on hold because of weather we wouldn't do anything! Get out there! Love it all! I personally love rainy days and snow days *sigh*.

[@DianaSanchez-dy1yu]

You and your mom are truly something to watch and aspire as far as relationship with parents. I look forward to your videos. You both quite rare, not pretentious and genuine. 💙 was very sweet and considerate what that subscriber sent you both!!

All of the scenic and drone content is so beautiful. Christmas in October was so fun. William and Lady are so adorable with their new toys. Thank you for sharing🙂

[@ScoopGirl]

For tips in getting up early. I do retail over 40 hours a week for going on 22 years. I got so use to waking up it became easy now I wake you at 4:30:am even on my days off some times. I'm on a set schedule now. So that also helps to make it an everyday thing.

[@latonyawilliams2891]

5 boxes was very generous ! They Rock

So very Blessed 💞 And what a surprise to Make a special day .

[@jillw.2524]

Hey yall.. in Iceland I struggled to wake up also. I slept great in colder weather. In California no issues. I used blackout curtains in summer.. I bought timers for my bedroom lamps/lights. Alarm clocks in bedroom & kitchen next to coffee pot were my friends.. This was in late 90s.. Google to see if still can order.. take melatonin same times every night. I pray it helps.

[@elizabethpope1232]

Breathtaking footage. Awesome awesome❤️

[@sharonk9325]

Wow! Beautiful gifts and thank you for sharing your adventure. What a beautiful place you live in. I have been following you for a long time. It's so nice to see you both on here smiling and having a great time.

[@terristenacious2279]

Thanks Loui that was beautiful...

[@rrhopewell]

Absolutely beautiful. I love Alaska and would love to visit there one day

[@zmenow3162]

I knew someone who had a relative from the Netherlands that would have a fluorescent light above his primary sitting space. Sort of artificially changing his biological sleep schedule? I live in Ca so I get lots of light.. never had to do that. Maybe it helps to gradually get used to those long winters with a fluorescent light?

[@Bigcat624]

That was beautiful. Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@goddesst]

These videos are so relaxing 😌

[@AncientOne963]

Once there is snow on the ground it will seem brighter outside. Have you looked into buying a SAD lamp?

[@melonie9605]

There are alarms that have lamps that simulate sunset and sunrise. That may help your sleep schedule. I have considered getting one for myself!

[@ehopem4877]

Regarding awakening earlier, I wonder if one of those sunrise alarm clocks would work: they use light and sound to awaken people.

[@linesthatmove]

It's gunna be my first time experiencing a real winter this year (I'm from south Florida) so I can definitely relate to the getting up early thing, its solo hard when its already cold

[@TheStephencowell]
