Hey everyone! This is part five of my journey to the Arctic Ocean via Jeep Camper. A dream I've had for years now, but haven't always had the cash to do it or the confidence in my camper set up to feel prepared. So, hop in and come on the road trip with me this Summer! 💗

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!

Your pronunciation of the town and area is amazing.

@AdventureTimeLoui Месяц назад

😅 thank you! glad to hear it. I wanna be as accurate as I can be!

@DManGrand Месяц назад

Your solo expedition to the Arctic Ocean is not just a trip; it’s a bold adventure that reflects your spirit of exploration. It’s a journey that many dream of but few undertake, and your experiences will undoubtedly inspire others to embrace their own adventures, whether alone or with companions.

@AdventureTimeLoui Месяц назад

I sure hope this inspires people to go on adventures that they’ve always wanted to go on! ❤

@Styder111 Месяц назад

I remember Foresty's Tuktoyaktuk video in the dead of winter. Seeing it in the summer along with the all the historical information is awesome! Great video! And the sentence "drive SOUTH to Alaska" is surreal lol

@GregDinAZ Месяц назад

Yes, I watched that video with Simon also. At least he didn’t have to deal with the mosquitoes!! 😂

@GK49245 Месяц назад

Wonderful chapter in your chronicle. Congratulations on reaching the Arctic Ocean. That is no small feat. Your video is nicely assembled, has rich content, and a solid story line. Glad the mosquitoes didn’t suck y’all down too badly. Thanks so much for sharing.😊

@WheelchairCharlie Месяц назад

Thank you for taking us along on this adventure. My goal since I became paralyzed, has been to make it to Tuktoyaktuk. Since I see the troubles that you had, I know my wheelchair van will not make it at this time. So I thank you for taking me on the journey I’ve wanted to go on for a few years. This is the best video I’ve seen this year on RU-vid. And as always, you are an excellent narrator. Please be safe in your travels.

@AdventureTimeLoui Месяц назад

Awww thanks Charlie! If you aren’t following driving the Dempster highway on Facebook I recommend it! You might find someone to go with that is down to assist or get some great tips for your specific style of travel! Cheers ❤

I was in Tuktoyuktuk in June (this year, 2024) on the 18th. Met a family there that went up in a Ford van, Ford Focus & a Toyota car They made it there & back with little issues. Time of year is very important when planning the trip combined with weather patterns I lucked out with no issues, others behind me had to deal with rain, snow & fire (and the ferry not running)

@NaeKid Месяц назад

@@WheelchairCharlie I put an "old" set of 33" mud terrain tires on my Jeep and just about burned all the tread off. No flats encountered. My recommendation is to run the smallest rims possible with the tallest tire you can fit on your van. Make sure you have multiple anchor points on your van in case of trouble & have a backup plan (a friend with another vehicle) that can do the trip with you Take a thousand pictures and it will still not be enough

@WheelchairCharlie Месяц назад

@@NaeKid thank you for the info. We are good at taking pictures. That’s for sure we have over 153,000 uploaded to Amazon. My son and I have done the trip to Alaska before in 2017. We are at least going to do that if we don’t go to Tuktoyaktuk.

@ShirleyJarrett Месяц назад

Hurrah!!! You did it! So brave to dunk in the ARTIC OCEAN with all those mosquitoes...UGH 😂. 👌🇨🇦

@johnganshow5536 Месяц назад

I've been to Dawson City about 10 times, when I lived in Alaska for 37 years. Never did take the Dempster Highway turnoff, always wondered about it as I passed by. Thank you for showing me what's up there!!!

@RottenlyMoodyChild Месяц назад

YOU DID IT!!!!! Congratulations 😁 amazing! What an incredible achievement. Thank you again for adding all the indigenous names and translations. And for adding the festival footage. Gotta keep the cultures alive ❤ I hope you and William had the best time 💚

@RottenlyMoodyChild Месяц назад

Hahaha the Arctic Ocean polar plunge was definitely worth it for the memory despite the impeccable amount of bugs and mosquitos 😮 sooooo many jeeeez 😅

@kellyriddle9915 Месяц назад

You have collected some Epic views on your journey, and I am Very Grateful/ Thankful to you for sharing your experiences with us 🙏🏻🙏🏻🫶🏻

@RodMurray Месяц назад

Amazing journey and journaling of your adventure to part of my own country I’ve only ever dreamed of seeing! There are 3 things that make me tear up, and one of them is indigenous drumming! Thanks for the video from the Arts festival. Congrats too on daring to swim in the Ocean. You are so tenacious! Keep the story telling coming.

@CaseyB Месяц назад

I’ll think twice before complaining about mosquitoes here in Arizona 😮 Love watching these northern adventures. And love the inclusion of a José González song. Perfect compliment to the adventure 👌

@kellyb5980 Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing this journey with us! You showed us stunning places but also shared your sense of adventure. Enjoy your trip to Alaska next

@DaveOnTheInterWebz Месяц назад

@theopenroadahead Месяц назад

My wife and I have been following your channel for a while now, but this is the first comment - we loved this video series of your Arctic Ocean drive. Absolutely epic adventure, and you captured it exceedingly well. Thanks for taking us along on your once-in-a-lifetime drive… now go get some new tires!! 😁

@jedblow Месяц назад

One of the best documentaries I've ever watched on tripping through the Canadian North. I had no idea what it's like up there or the difficulty driving there.

@thelisaofmonalisa4829 Месяц назад

I always appreciate you sharing some of the history of the lands you travel to. ❤

@veeemit9719 Месяц назад

Woohoo! Way to persevere Loui😊! You made it!! You tore it up🎉. I’m so happy for you.👍🏾

@timthompson8297 Месяц назад

Five minutes of that noise is plenty. You’re a brave young lady!

@lindaharleygirl1 Месяц назад

A lot of RU-vidrs are heading to the artic. I love your view.

@ThatOneDudeNick Месяц назад

Those mosquitos are crazy. I would've died out there, mosquito bites grow to golf ball size on me.

@panchosproduce Месяц назад

Just discovered you can rub vanilla/water blend on you to hide your scent from 🦟 from keep them away from you! It works! I also use vanilla insence.

@metalkittens 24 дня назад

Me too! It's called Skeeter Syndrome. You're allergic to their saliva

@davetaddeo Месяц назад

too cool! i was just there for the summer solstice and the festival of the sun. but it was overcast, blustery, and 2°C. i hope your trip stays in your memories for a long time.

@alanclouser540 Месяц назад

I bet it was amazing seeing the arctic ocean !! ❤

@keyarawveg Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing! I love this expedition. You and William are so precious.

@duringthefire Месяц назад

Thank you for taking us on your adventure! ✨✨✨Going to the Arctic Ocean has been one of my dreams and I hope to do it one day! Truly awesome journey and you did it by yourself! Watching your stuff gives me the courage to do more solo things! I'm planning my first solo backpacking trip thanks to the inspiration of your videos. Getting a flat is always it's own adventure but woohoo on getting it fixed!

@0230Raveena Месяц назад

Loui, you are amazingly brave. Congrats: Living vicariously through You. Thank You for Sharing. Safe Travels.❤

This is another awesome video. Thanks for taking us along. You are a brave young lady.Safe. travels.

@cotter9751 Месяц назад

Fabulous Update! Thanks for sharing history of the area, and some of the traditions (and the care you took in sharing). The mosquito hoards look dreadful, but being at Tuk, and the ocean, and dipping in... amazing! What a journey! Inspiring and entertaining. Hope your travels south are interesting in the best possible ways! 👍

@minicoletta Месяц назад

Tuk feels like a really nice place - except for the bugs, but hey, summers are short! Thanks for sharing ❤

@duncanmuir9275 Месяц назад

Congrats on an awesome trip Loui!!

@jongrant4504 Месяц назад

I really appreciate your time dedicated to history and culture inTuk. For so many YT overlanders it's only about them and their drive. I have been to Tuk twice for work, summer and winter. The mosquitoes in July are indescribable!

@deborahrobertson4670 Месяц назад

You did it🎉🎉🎉What a momentous trip. Thanks for taking me along. 😚

@ambyramenra Месяц назад

I always appreciate your history and culture lessons. Please keep including them in your videos. Congratulations on making it up there!

@Peter-kz2zz Месяц назад

@margoburns9085 Месяц назад

What an accomplishment! You are in a select club of people who can say they have gone swimming in the Arctic ocean. Onward and upward...look forward to your next adventure!

@nereidgreen6653 Месяц назад

You made it! The Arctic Ocean is beautiful! The sun just rolls across the horizon. To dip in it, twice? You truly are an adventure, mainly in facing those swarms of gigantic mosquitos. No way.

@maxineoliver7404 Месяц назад

You truly are living your best life, right now! And love the scenic views and beautiful people there!! Take care and be safe!!🌅🐶🦟🦟🏔🏔

@scootergants Месяц назад

Loui, this is an excellent series. You are such a wonderful story teller and an inspiration.

@alariaesculenta8177 Месяц назад

I really want to thank you for presenting Canada in such a bright light (no pun intended with the midnight sun LOL, oh well, yes, why not...), with such kindness, reverence, interest, and positive attitude. You really seem to have adopted the country. Congrats on changing the tire, this is my next thing to learn, what if I'm ever stranded in such an out of the way place. No, serious, I gotta learn, I admire your guts and tenacity. Beautiful trip !

@jomicheleseidl2033 Месяц назад

Yay, you made it! You went through so much to make this trip and I'm glad you reached Tuk, safe and sound. I hope your trip south goes beautifully.

@Darrell-r6k Месяц назад

Thanks for highlighting my home ... I'm an Inuvialuit Elder now living in Edmonton. I estimate I've done the Dempster Highway at least 20 times out and back and it is, IMHO, the best drive in Canada. Take good care Loui ... and thanks to Simon for introducing you to me / us.

@AdventureTimeLoui Месяц назад

Thanks friend! It was a pleasure to get to experience the beautiful nature in that area and a learn little bit about Inuvialuit culture. I will never forget how incredibly welcoming and helpful everyone was 🥰

@Snoogleheimer Месяц назад

Yay, thanks Loui, that was great.

@michellel6596 Месяц назад

Lovely finale Loui! Thanks for documenting for us! 🥰

@krawie77 Месяц назад

So awesome! I loved it! ❤

@richardp6461 Месяц назад

Congratulations on a very successful and entertaining trip. I am a big fan of the information that you dispense to us. OH, how you have grown. We have never met, but when I met you. You and your mom bought the property in Alaska. I used to love to listen to the dreams you guys had for the place. I know you are headed back to Alaska, and I hope we see your mom and brother. You are officially braver than I. Because I would have never got in that water with or without the mosquitos. I have also heard that Polar bears don't mess around and if they see you, they try to eat you.

@colettenkids3949 Месяц назад

Awwww I loved all your video’s plz don’t stop filming tho your journey’s are incredible much love from uk 🇬🇧 and I love seeing William bless him

@waynewelter Месяц назад

I can relate to the emotions. I did a similar trip a few years back after planning for at least 2 years and achieving the goal felt like big release.

@loriaversher5477 Месяц назад

I truly enjoyed your adventure. Thanks for taking us along and be safe...

@user-bw1zg7sg5o Месяц назад

Only bad thing I've heard about towns way up north is the mosquitoes.

It’s definitely my only complaint on this entire trip!

The mosquito swarm there reminds me of the one time I hiked around the local 'water conservation district' (aka swamp) here in Florida during mid-summer.

@lindaharleygirl1 Месяц назад

That’s Louis power. Regarding the tire statement.

@richarscott Месяц назад

Really enjoyed following your journey. It brought back many good memories of our trip last year (my wife driving a Scion FRS and me driving a Subaru Forester with a couple of friends in tow). Glad we escaped without a flat tire, delays, or windshield cracks, though my wife's windshield cracked on the road between the Dempster turnoff and Dawson City.
