- It's been sort of a rough start with a danger scare and trying to get the Jeep situated while also traveling. However, that hasn't stopped me from enjoying some of the Oregon coast and exploring down quiet forest roads!

Hey Loui,
Thanks for the shout-out about the platform. You did an amazing job with it!!!
The extra spaces cut out of the legs also makes the platform lighter in weight. Every bit of weight savings along the way helps.
Enjoy your travels.
Cheers.
Thank you!!! I’m gunna pin this comment so more people find your channel! I think I will cut the legs to get rid of more weight 🤔
Im a Van dweller. If mice are getting under your hood or in your rig use peppermint oil. I put peppermint oil down every night. You can put a good amount on some cotton balls and put it under the hood and take it out in the morning. You can also would put cotton balls down by your tires
Just some advice, always be prepared to defend yourself. I recommend getting your cwp and a side arm
2. Open your hood at night. It prevents rodents and other things from messing up your electrical.
I was wondering, for safety, have you thought about putting a camera on the outside of your car so you can see your surroundings while in the car and giving access to your mom?
I was thinking the same thing
Great idea...would need to upgrade my battery system first I think 🤔
Some one told me that newer vehicles, the insulation on the wires is made from a vegetable based oil that rodents love to chew on,I can't confirm this but I would definitely get some plasti-dip spray and put a few coates over those wires asap
A squirrel ate the wires on a coworkers vehicle. I think peppermint oil is a deterrent (the smell).
I like that smooth jazz nature vibe 😎
There’s no need to advertise that you don’t carry any personal protection. I recommend you take the appropriate training and reconsider that decision. Stay safe.
Oh my goodness, when you were telling us the story about William surfing! My heart was melting! Lol
He’s a little cutie pie 🥰
Love you both!
I’m very happy that I discovered your channel a few days ago. You are a breath of fresh air. As I person who is trained in survival and self defense, always listen to your gut. If it doesn’t feel right there is something wrong. I traveled in the area you are in 30 years ago in my Jeep with my dog. The only difference is your Jeep is way nicer and I carried a gun. Something to consider? Sending you love and respect.
I just send her a message about the gun,
Oh wow! So cool to follow in your footsteps! I’m really not sure about the whole gun thing. For me, I have to be ready and in the mindset that it could potentially be fatal. I think I’d need A LOT of training to feel comfortable carrying one first. I’m looking into no lethal protection tho
@@AdventureTimeLoui same here, buy and gun school, it will be ok, and always put it in a safe, you are not sure about the gun thing, but rest and assure when the time comes to use the gun, that's when you will said, wow, I have one
Put mothballs in a small drawstring bag and put them around all of your tires and hang 1 bag under your hood on 1 of the hoses. DONT FORGET TO REMOVE THEM BEFORE YOU DRIVE!!!!
I honestly would subscribe to patreon just for the campsite information! I’m working full time while on the road so finding sites is always something I barely have time to do myself.
This is great feedback thank you!!
Loui: Always go with your gut! Please stay safe, and Will is such a cutie pie!
You'll get used to bumps in the night. If it's a bear or something, you'll DEFINATELY know it. We were exactly the same way at one point, "Oh My God! It was just A MOUSE!!" We call ourselves "Adventurers" as well ... explorers.... but one thing we do when getting onto the dirt for an extended period of time, is air our tires down.... that's a beauty spot.
That mouse woke you up for a reason. It was still odd that a car was coming up as you were leaving. Always trust your gut!
It's not embarrassing. Why would it be embarrassing to err on the side of caution? Also, who cares what other people think?!
I'm also soloing in my jeep. Been back and forth across USA 4X now. My 3:00 AM adventure was a mountain lion getting a closer look. I felt like a meatball on a plater for him in my roof tent with no weapon. Sooooo now have a gun companion. Also, pro tip if solo... You can string a hammock diagonally across the interior of your jeep by latching a carabiner to the passenger side front roof latch hook, and the other side to the back of roll cage. Works so well I punted my roof tent and don't need a platform either. Is fantastic too because you only need to park level front to back and can be pretty wonky side to side and the hammock just levels itself out.
As a mom…My mom hat is saying “Please go and get a realistic looking pellet hand gun with carrying case”… Wishing you safe and fun excursions.
Nice Jeep and platform! I grew up in California, but moved to Oregon and I love it! It's so beautiful...
I like where you are going w/ your DIY platform. Some simple hinges and backstops to openings can give you all the easy access you are striving for. Critters are a serious issue for your wiring - so don't take that lightly as you could get stuck out in the wilds due to a wiring issue. Amazon sells a super Mint spray, etc. Just spray on the underside, wheel well, and/or where they would access your engine bay and electronics because if you saturate everything - then it will stink up your entire rig so you can't stand it either. I also read keeping the hood open helps so no heat gets trapped inside, i.e., if the engine bay is colder than outside - makes the vehicle less attracted. The theory sounds good, but not sure about the practice - maybe when you stop -open the hood so all the heat escapes your vehicle and close when you bed down. Good luck!
I use mint extract too. I have a spray bottle and I dilute it with water. Every night I spray everything, engine, tires and undercarriage making sure to coat brake lines and wires. I also open my hood and let the engine cool and look things over every morning. I was also skeptical about this being effective, but it seems to work. I dont notice the smell. This can be difficult but I am am very careful about keeping food well sealed and I dont eat in my Jeep. Another thing, if I hear something crawling around I hit the panic button on the key fob. Since mice seem to love the engine compartment, the noise sends them running.
DuckNinja is correct, rodents can do serious damage and they seem to be able to find a vehicle incredibly fast. They are high on my worry list when I camp. I read some wire coatings are made with a soy product which rodents like to eat. Not sure if thats true.
I’m thinking a Jeep cat is in order to shut down the mice. 😂😂😂
Can’t wait to see the construction!!
LMBO you are a wonderful doggie parent!!! The beach story hand me smiling…. Or puppy, Nola would have been unruly like that. I’m new subbie, right off the bat I wanted to support your channel. I have aClass B and I want to make it to the west coast beaches someday soon. Stay safe and blessed! 🙌🏽🙏🏽💚
Happy to follow your adventures lady . I have got a jeep Wrangler Sahara and have been enjoying my car for 10 years now .
Greetings from France .
You might use a zip lock bag and mothballs. Place the bag in a safe place where the mice keep trying to build a home. A neighbor showed me this trick when we were building a house near St. Helen's. It worked pretty well.
Don’t let Bigfoot keep you awake at night . Much love
6:57 me too!
I live in Oregon...raised in Eugene. Enjoy yourself and be safe.
I heard peppermint is good to keep rodents from chewing wires on your jeep...and also getting into any food that is not in a sealed container...hope this help with any pesty problems .
Your videos are alway so relaxing and a joy to watch. Can't wait until the next very adventure with you Loui😀
I was looking forward to this video. So happy to have found this channel.
I was watching another influencer, and they said if you sleep with your hood up and exposed, as well as sit something with a little mint oil or Irish spring soap in it it will help keep the rodents away. They like the hood closed for the warmth, and they despise the smell of mint oil and Irish spring soap. They also do not like mothballs. However, traveling with the smell of mothballs in such a small space would be difficult. Safe travels.❤️
Where is Tiffany said the same thing in her van life video.
Hey I'm Dante n I'm lovi,loving, loving ❤ ur channel probably the only way I get to relax is watching ur channel thank you so much
Always listen to your inner voice. If it says go then go
I love the video, I enjoy watching you and your mom’s journey. Use moth balls and peppermint oil for the mice. I saw that on Where’s Tiffany, I see your mom had the same issue and she watched the same video. Good luck keep taping and stay safe.
That jeep is coming along for off grid camping I am loving it great job on the platform.
Great stuff, keep it up!! Your content is so motivating. Just got my Jeep a year ago and have been slowly rigging it up so can't wait to get back out exploring.
Happy travels!!
Good luck Loui!!!! can't wait to see the progress
You can always pick up a can of wasp spray for protection...if you don't have pepper spray for the time...bear spray is also good for protection not only for bears but cougars or the 2 legged ones...that might not be friendly. I have a black jk as well 4 door 2016..be observant of your surroundings..and vehicle's in the bush..
Fantastic idea for the platform! If I'm ever able to have a life, I'll definitely be taking this route for more space.
William cracks me up, he's always so serious looking. 😁
Your mouse woke you up at the perfect time. Glad you’re ok.
Jeep after market parts for building out platforms with drawer storage is available, but the part's are pricey. I believe building your own is more cost effective.
agreed!! it’s waaay too expensive. I spent more money on the exterior build knowing that I was going to be very frugal with the interior
Always think safe 💖Love the start of your build Hi William 🐾
I would be absolutely terrified out there.
Great video, thank you
Wow, when I see all the pudding cups and debris at your campsite, I wonder who does that? How piggy can they be?
Just came across your Jeep build episode and now watching some more. Great Jeep and videos. Enjoy your time in nature and with your dog.
The platform project is so cool. Honestly thought you were talking about building a platform for the roof until I saw what you did. Can't wait to see how this all develops!
Omg look at your Jeep 😍😍😍😍
Fantastic video! Great music!
Large raw meaty bones about 3-4 times per week will keep Wil's teeth and gums in top order. My dog loves them, and never had any teeth issues. All the best!!
love this online and real life space u cultivated 🥳🥳 i adore these videos, loui; many blessings to you 💚💗
You can put mint oil soaked moth balls around your jeep when you park. I have seen videos on RUclips on how and what mint oil to use. Look it up and that should help with the mice because from what I hear they can do some damage under your hood if they hang around there too long or bring in their friends. lol
I saw a Van life video on RUclips we're she put down moff balls around her vehicle to keep the mice out. And she says she bought them at Dollar Tree and the little netting material to put them in so that she can pick them up and reuse them. And you get a little Sell container to keep them in when you are driving and when you Get to your destination you put them back out around you vehicle and under the hood.
love the videos . cant wait to do it myself
I really like your vlogs. They're pleasant and easy to watch 😊
Always love seeing updates from you! Your build is so exciting!!! I agree with other viewer about cameras on outside so u can see all around ur rig when inside!! Also your video is getting better!!! Love the drone shots! Great job Loui!!!
You need a boom stick...or some form of protection...it's not negative energy...things are different...especially in the last two years. Take that experience and pay attention. Cameras and modern technology will only get you so far.💜
I am so glad you left that spot! The universe may have been protecting you especially since you saw the people after you heard the noise.
“Melanin activate melanin activate!” The next hot billboard lyrics, HA
Q tip and querrilla glue to cover the exposed wires in short term.
PNW has awesome energy
Great video stay safe
Glad you’re ok
Great job Loui!! Safe travels to you and William.
Sounds like they were watching you and good thing you were aware of your surroundings! Pls stay safe!!! And def invest in cameras with night vision
Hahaha a mouse ran you off your site. Tuff little guy. We'll call him mighty mouse.
Stay safe….🦋🦋🦋
Consider taking a self defense course. Some are short and minimal. Some use peppermint oil drops and some use a light under the vehicle to determine pests. Also, maybe talk to a dog trainer and put that beautiful dog to work protecting you! Beautiful video, thank you! 👍🐾🇨🇦👌💜💪
maybe a Squirrel
be aware, they are attracted to heat
and they are attracted to coolant....
it helps to keep the engine compartment clean

I’m glad I found your channel. Nice to see a real down to earth explorer. I had to subscribe. Oh and the way you done your hair is cute as heck! Also don’t worry about that booty shot! 😉
Always fun watching your travels and creations. ✨
Personal protection... See BYRNA....
i want to come join you in my jeep lol the scenery is incredible
Im singing "Awwwwww No shameless boots shots...Emoji sad face. No shame's booty shots today! lol 🙃 "today" sung in a high octave. That was funny and unexpected. Also I think William would definitely let you know if somebody's messing around on the outside of your vehicle. Enjoy the journey and glad you kept your power tools.
Safe travels #Artisbluu
New subscriber, nice jeep and hello from Idaho, Shoshone country ✨
I didn't want your videos to end! I was so enjoying this videos.
Keep up the excellent work and look forward to more videos
Ill be in Oregon next month♡♡
I suggest your Mom check out DualEX on RUclips. I'm sure, with your brilliance, you could gain more inventive ideas from him. Viewing his videos directly influenced my approach to finalizing my cargo trailer build. 👍🏿
🎯🎯🎯
Dude! He is a genius!!! That would be awesome if she cld have a sit down with him
DETER RODENTS. OR IT WILL COST YOU 1500 electrical repair.
1. Put a rodent Gard around jeep. Just stale a 2 ft tall aluminum board around it. Aluminum sign board is cheap and colorful.
Spray board with peppermint sprits or popouri they hate her smell of that. Just make sure nothing else around that lives the smell of that.
ruclips.net/video/bMo0s7h11AQ/видео.html
Other RUclipsrs pop their hood and put Solar lights underneath their engine. Which keeps the mice out. And mice likes chewing on some peoples engine wires.
Nature's Mace... Mint scent rodent spray/treatment for rv's.... Don't know if really works....
Perhaps you should pack. Go east of Portland and talk to Coyote Works. Keep yourself safe. It's your right.
Love the progress on the build!
Out of curiosity, do you ever meet up with viewers? I'll be at Smith rock at the end of the month and would love to see the jeep! Totally understand if you don't though, I have a friend who does van life and she was pretty sussed out by people wanting to meet.
liquid tape from auto parts store, make sure the wires are not touching
Bear spray works good on humans and bears.
Put hidden camera in the car, now a days they have it, in style,like in picture frame, and you can connect it to your phone to see what's going on.
And keep in mind when you buy it, is supposed to be a serect, don't tell anyone about it, not even your mom, and family.
You know who doing this right? You feel me?
Is like a core your inner circle surrounded watch out for close family in your circle
Come on . Get a super long leash and tether William to you . Don't deny him that swimming pleasure.
🔥🔥
Get you some protection! I know William will be but never hurts to have an extra layer for safety
i want to do what you do! sand dunes sound good,
Love it!!!
Everything sounds larger in the woods at night. Spending enough time alone in the woods, something will spook you eventually.
Love your jeeep new subscriber
👌
Have you thought about getting a roof top tent?
You look like you should play in adventure movies, you're so gorgeous young lady 😍 💖
William is a dare devil 😂
