For SLEEP- What helped me immensely was MELATONIN. 1 or 2 3mg chewables is all you need. I've had lack of sleep due to pain (arthritis) for almost 20 yrs. 1-2 hours sleep, up...1 or 2 again, up...repeat. I actually have gotten a few full 8's with the Melatonin. Natural, and better than more meds you don't need. Hope it helps.

Oh, by the way…regarding insomnia - NO afternoon napping, take melatonin and magnesium - and NO blue screen light after 10 and your sleep will improve. LOVE all the humour in your posts!

I love your reno series and your very dry, sarcastic sense of humor. You make it so much more entertaining....I am from BC, but now live in Vegas. I look forward to your reno and what looks and sayings you do. Must say I think your lovely wife is a saint.....your a handful but a ray of joy. Keep being you!❤😂

As jealous as I am of the locations you are shooting in, I am much more jealous of your skill with compositions. Damn, you've got an eye, Gavin!

Thanks Jerry :)

I was insomniac for 20+ years. What fixed it in the end was cutting all carbohydrates from my diet. Took 4 days and I slept the whole night, every night. I also lost 10 kilos and I didn't even try. Plus joint pain gone. No shit, seriously. Hope it helps.

Hi Gavin , my best mate burned the wick at both ends for years running his business and trying to stay in contact with family and friends spread across the world in different time zones , despite many warnings that his body would catch up with him including driving an RV in Canada with his eyes shut he died here in NZ in a motor accident of his making when he went to sleep in the family Toyota and had a head on with a 4x4. Don’t be that guy, and I know this is going to hurt and initially give you two weeks of headaches you’ve got to give up the caffeine addition , I did four years ago and believe me it made a hell of a difference to my sleep and anxiety levels. BTW love those autumn shots 😀

As dramatic as that sounds, there is a message here. You won't see the effects of go go go until you see them. By them it is a bit too late.... We are really bad at pushing you, we would love to see the next video RIGHT NOW, but that pressure, if you are not sleeping, it is killing you. I was a physician back in my country, I probably do know what I am talking about but that is irrelevant. The business is very important and we all get it, but try and look ahead and see where all these efforts are taking you, not the business, I mean you. Finding the balance is hard, the pressure is big, but disregarding your health is probably not a good plan. Just a though bro. This is Orlando from Vantage Point P. Cheers.

Wow great to see Simon on your Channel, Sorry to hear that you have problems sleeping, hope you sort it soon . Great Video thank you.

Sorry your not sleeping well, its awful. I got over most of my insomnia with listening to audiobooks as I was falling asleep (soothing ones) and using them if I woke up later. I think the audiobooks got my mind of daily concerns and I could drop off listening to them rTher than trying to force myself to sleep. I cut my screen time, which was getting out of hand and stopped using screens after 10pm. I upped my walking a bit and checked my meds online (in 'users' web sites - the official ones seem to miss what appear to be fairly common side effects) and changed some and am now sleeping OK most nights. Hope you get your insomnia sorted and get back to feeling your usual lively and flatulent self!!

I was hoping for some footage of the drone low-battery-auto-landing-over-the-ocean adventure.

Hi Gavin, great video as usual, beautiful photographs too. Your vlogs and other photographers vlogs (yes Im sorry I do watch other vloggers) are keeping me sane at the moment as I've just left hospital having had total knee replacement surgery so no getting out and about for a number of weeks!. Also Gavin you really need to take care of your own health too, look after youself mucka and again a big thankyou from me. Steve Hassall

What a beautiful area and gorgeous photos♥️I love all the seasons but autumn is especially beautiful 🍁

it's so great when I notice over my morning coffee that you have a new episode. the day starts great because your humor makes me smile😊.

Love the drone images of the waterfalls and fall colors along the coast!

The challenge with autumn colors is every year their intensity and timing change so drastically. But that is what makes them so special.

Your show is something I look for to. Thanks and the picts are all great.

Epic drone Landscape…⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍

Loved those dreamy waterfall shots, especially with that beautiful music.

Top drawer yet again, thank you.

Excellent fun to watch, thank you sir. I love the image @10:45. Good stuff. The drone footage is really lovely too. Sorry to hear about the insomnia, good luck.

OMG! I point out ‘Recto Verso’ every time I see it! I told my wife ‘it’s what happens when you don’t get enough fibre!’ Great video!

Beautiful scenery…beautiful music….beautiful voice…brilliant photos!

Gavin really enjoyed those waterfall photographs, especially with the added atmosphere of the background music. Thank you.

Awesome scenery, stunning images. Best wishes to Simon, hopefully he recovers quickly.

Throw those carbs in the garbage. Try to keep the carbs under 100 per day, no sugar. Weight and blood pressure will drop quickly. Some nice shots and drone footage is spot on.

I watched this (and then a few others) in a hotel room on a 55inch Samsung TV, and it looks fantastic, especially the drone footage. Well done, Gavin, as usual!

Another masterpiece! The end made my face laugh and my trousers shout.

Burst out laughing at your response to the treadmill. Northerner same you you.

This vid. was wonderful.

Those drone shots are amazing!!! you really have mastered that drone camera

Loved the waterfall with the fallen branch. The reflection pano is gorgeous too.

Nicely put together, phenomenal shots man, really spectacular.

absolutely beautiful. video, photography, music. completely hilarious at those parts of course but all your videos are so beautifully made. feeling the sleep thing. horlicks???!!

You make me smile! And yearn to get out with my camera. Every time. Thanks brotha!

That photograph of the waterfall with the log in the foreground......superb!

Loved the first image, and the drone footage is stunning. Hope you get on top of the insomnia issues, not easy. Take care

Beautiful waterfall shots Gavin… and the drone pano looked amazing. Hope you get sorted soon with the lack of sleep. Must be exhausting all the best 👍👊

Those drone shots are epic.

This year in New Jersey has to be the most beautiful fall season in many years. The colors from yellow, red and orange was so amazing to photograph.

Hehe great content again colour’s amazing and can’t knock a good waterfall pic this time of year 👍

Thanks Gavin! Once again, this is very high quality production. It stands out to me at times. Like at the beginning when the drone flies over the river and you superimpose your voice over + music + extra recorded noise from the creek in perfect tune. Simply fat produced and very much effort.

Just Amazing as always 👍😀👍

That is some of the most beautiful waterfall pictures I have seen in a long time. Living in Utah many years ago we had many waterfall locations in Immigration Canyon, and in the Spring, I did the same thing. The new leaves would offer some really outstanding shots in the existing light near the falls. Great job to you. As for your health.....Never allow your efforts and life to cause issues. I was the same way sleep wise until I turned 60, then I forced myself to sleep, but it did cause issues with my health, prior to that age and I knew I had to take over keeping myself well.

Kicking Horse coffee first thing in the morning....hmmmmmm yummmyyyy....best way to start the day before heading out for a few hours of photography. The arial pano is really good

Loving those drone shots, especially the one at the beginning going up the canyon. If I keep watching your videos I’m going to end up going down the drone rabbit hole.

This one was exceptional, Gavin. I learned a lot. Thank you from Kelowna

Thank you!

hehehehehe, loved the waterfall shots this week, the pano was fantastic. thanks for the giggles.

Awesome episode.

It's manageable when it's soft......light. phew glad you completed that sentence 😅 5:20 years of sunrise and sunsets has taken its toll on your sleep pattern. I had similar issues when I worked nights. I could never sleep. The body requires normal sleeping ours, we arnt designed to be awake at all hours. CBD is a good shout for this. Worked for me just to help relax the body. Sounds mad but a few totes on a joint will do no harm either. Like everything, it's fine in moderation and less harmful than alcohol.

That is an absolutely gorgeous area wow ..wish we were still in fall..just had 2 ft snow dumped on us and another 2 in today so I've been a Bearcat since Thursday..im ready for spring! to early for this crap..lol. Fanatical video/photos!!👍

Sigh - so beautiful!

Thanks for sharing about your insomnia. It's an awful thing. Had it in college and was down to one hour of sleep some days. It resolved after some issues causing anxiety and depression were addressed. Yoga in the middle of the day helps. Before bed it gets me too pumped up. Maybe I'm weird that way. Oh, and thought I'm sure you've read the advice about not using backlit screens and hour or two before bed, it's worth mentioning. That definitely does help. Really hoping you get the help you need to get on top of this. Truly, insomnia sucks.

Flake dogs its always the quiet ones to watch out for ! fantastic photography ! really really loved the first waterfall shot ! stretch the imagination and the log becomes a anaconda with mouth fully opened drinking from the cascades !

Awesome shots especially the drone. Amanda finally found someone who appreciates her flake dogs, LOL. Thanks for the laughs and I hope you find a solution to your insomnia. I find routine to be helpful and not engaging my brain in work or activity at night that requires lots of thought. I'm not sure if that makes sense but relaxing the mind as well as the body helps me.

Gavin, great vid as usual. I must get to Cap Breton in the fall.

That drone panorama was amazing. Going to have to have a go at doing some of them.

I haven’t slept a full night in years. I did a sleep study that said nothing was wrong and was going for a second one when the world was put on hold but shockingly healthcare in Canada isn’t as good as we tell other countries it is. No appointment in sight. Good luck to you with the issue because I gave up trying to get help in this country

Another fantastic video and shots. I too suffer from insomnia Kevin and I do understand your frustration with sleep. I tend to get between 3 to 5 hours sleep a night on a good night. Defo see your local GP as they could refer you to someone who specialises in Insomnia. Take care u2 and look forward to your next video.......Steve

As one who also suffers from insomnia at times, I find its usually that I can't turn off my brain, no matter how tired I am. So a few tricks that work for me, some nature music or a movie that I've seen a ton of times. Volume has to be set to a level that distracts the brain but doesn't engage it. Also, caffeine after noon hour tends to be a tough one for me. Hope you can find the cure. Love the video. Simon seems to have warmed up to your shenanigans and he's got a good sense of humour.

That Chuntering Ponce Falls composition by the bridge will look almost as good in early Spring when the new leaves have that light yellow-green glow. Spring runoff might make the stream hard to wade without appropriate footwear though (waders, not flip-flops). Sounds like a good time of year to get up there. 😉

Love your channel Gavin..incredible content and lots of laughs...thoroughly enjoyable! Insomnia is a bitch...been there..done that. Melatonin helps and is enhanced with CBD dummies (relaxation type). Truly hope you find a solution to your sleep issues soon as this takes a terrible toll on your health and well-being.

The tread mill reaction got me good 😂🤙🏻

The treadmill reaction had me 🤣 thanks for the laugh Gavin

That new Mavic puts out some epic footage! Great shots! My lowly Mavic Pro is balled up in the corner crying right now, in shame! 😵😁

Great video I loved! And I hope 🤞 you get better by your sleep problem.

Decaf coffee is essential, no food or drink after 7-8pm. No alcohol - hard but essential. Sleep deprivation is life threatening, particularly in men. This regime sounds tough, but the alternative is tougher. If that doesn’t work, come back to the UK! Less travelling to photo sites and a much better health service.

You are truly a master in picking very very compelling photos. I never would have done that waterfall the way you did , being so tight on just the bottom and the falls itself, but you nailed it as you always do. Keep up on the great , funny and interesting and informative ones your doing as of late. Not a big fan of the church conversion, but I understand you had to do something while rebuilding you new home. Thanks again and keep up the great work. Wish I had the extra $ for one of your prints.

I don't follow directions very well so continued to look for "Recto" until I found them here. Although, ours are "Flipsides" - a little less of a nasty name. (Thanks for telling us both names).
