I will say this is the soul of KZread. A person sharing their own adventure, not some hack monetizing someone else’s life (or death) by reading wikipedia articles about obscure things and editing videos taken by others, thank you for sharing!

You are the only young long distance canoe tripper, I’ve seen, that EVER bothered to learn how to pole a canoe rather than get a $3000 dry suit and drag upstream. Respect. Brother. Respect. Plus you have a skill that will last a lifetime and never wear out. Fair winds and full bellies.

This channel should have a 100,000 subscribers! Remarkable journey and stunning storytelling. Can’t wait for part 2!!

Sunday morning coffee and an hour long video from mr shoalts. Awesome!

Fantastic adventure video! The obstacles you face with a calm demeanor is impressive! I am looking forward to Part II.

Awesome video, can’t wait for part 2. I am James Bay Cree from Kashechewan. Albany river and Kenogami river is our highway for moose hunting, fishing, and harvesting by a freighter canoe, with all the rivers and creeks along the way. I’ve also paddled from Kabinakami river to Kashechewan James bay. Looking to do it again this summer before fall.

Nothing short of legendary... Amazing and thanks for sharing your journey.

Taking a moment to enjoy an unripened cloudberry is tops in my opinion. You are true grit, determined, inspiring, educational story teller. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge, journey and passion with us all.

Watched the entire video! Inspirational! Great to know there is at least a little bit of wilderness left in this world.

You’re NUTS….I love it!

Great to see you in the wild after reading the book. Thanks Adam

What a treat! Thank you for sharing another beautiful adventure! Always grateful. Thanks Adam!

This brought back memories of paddling the Albany starting at the Kabina and Kenogami Rivers back in 1977. We paddled all the way to Fort Albany on James Bay. Wonderful to see the Lowlands are still very wild. Looking forward to Part Ii!

Enjoyed your 10 Maps book and gifted it to my son in law. Would be interesting to see your rations and meals along the way.

I'm exhausted just watching you. I need to take a break

Gotta wonder, how many years, or decades, or ever, since a human navigated that small tributary....Adam, you're building memories to last a lifetime, someday you'll look back and say "Man, I did that!"

Love the adventure Adam, never stop exploring!

Some beautiful sunsets and views! I've got most of your books! You should post more videos of your amazing journeys! Maybe even gear reviews and/or gear lists. I know you're a busy person, but I really hope your KZread channel takes off. You deserve it!

ME AND THE WIFE NEED PART TWO ! ! !

Great video Adam. Looking forward to part 2 already!!

100% PURE LEGEND

I really love that you share your knowledge of the area and the natural resources that are available to eat or heal, a lot of us have lost that knowledge.

I've been intrigued by your adventures since I saw your interviews with KC Happy Camper and a few other videos here and there. This morning I saw this video and I was thrilled to learn you have your own channel. Can't wait to watch part 2!

Wow Adam! A man of knowledge and determination (not to mention filming and editing). Hats off to you. This is my first encounter with you channel which kept popping up on my feed. You earned a sub.

Adam what a journey ! that was amazing, looking forward part two. Thank you sharing this.

This is fantastic!! Just brilliant!! You are an inspiration, thanks Dr. Shoalts.

Thank you!

To do something like this takes incredible mental resolve. Hats off to you brother. AMAZING documentation of your expedition!

So enjoyed learning about woodland items/food sources you "enjoy"! I was secretly moaning while watching your long portage through the "Canadian quick sand"! So enjoy your stories! I very much enjoyed "Beyond the trees" and am half way through "Where the falcon flies!" Your adventure are amazing! Stay safe!

Nothing beats the feeling of freedom you get from exploring the great outdoors. This video transports me back to the sense of adventure I felt on my recent camping trip. Liked!!!

Really good - looking forward to part 2

Happy to see you have your own channel. Subscribed!

Wow! I heard about you from Canoehound and he was right. Very impressive adventure!

1:03:45 - I'm really fascinated by the ease with which Adam talks while being bitten by mosquitoes

Hockey and Football players have nothing on you, no gun? Real survival of true adventure. Knee pads would seem obvious, luxury, no? Yet your educated instinct always kicked in and kept going like a man, I am proud that my Country that is in peril from humans and political (lack of) leadership is still alive and sort of well in the great North, we have all the wild beauty and resources in the world here, you Sir, exploited it in the Right way! Tipping my hat to you and thanking you for taking us along. I wish you happy trails on many more solo adventures, since it is a true self-reliance adventure you have taken on that will forever enrich you has a man. Thanks for showing me places of my home that I never got to but only dreamed of, says a lot in this day and age. Merci Coureur des Bois! (your Historical French name).

Keep up the hard work, Adam. Thank you for sharing with us, your books and videos go a long way.

Next level stuff, Adam. I love tripping solo but I can scarcely imagine the solitude of these places. I'd be interested to know what the staple meals of your food barrel are and how many calories you need in a day to be able to pull through that muskeg. Looking forward to part 2!

Very good, it's like to see a very good movie, Fantastic adventure. I have many pictures in my head now. Tank

The start of it looks awesome. I can't wait to watch it later. Thanks for sharing another video.

Thrilled for your next book and part 2!

There’s a reason you’re the only one out there. I thought I was adventurous. I wouldn’t have lasted a week!

True persistence,very commendable

One time I thought a short cut through Cootes Paradise was a good idea, I fought hard to not sink to my death....seems like a cakewalk compared to your adventure. Your like a modern day voyageur. Love your adventures, keep it up.

Great inspiration ❤

Outstanding Adam, to gain knowledge of all the useable plants in the Forest…such good information. And the very obvious outcome, healing from balsom fir sap!

Hats off to you! What a REAL Adventure! Cant wait for part 2!

Great video! I thought the rapids were bad....then came the logjams....then came the portages....then came the marshland. With bugs the whole time. Thanks for putting yourself through this so I can watch from my couch!

Great report, my hat down young man. I'm glad you came back to tell us about it, because you took a great risk doing this solo.

Awesome! Thanks for the ride✌

That's awesome! Can't wait till part 2!

Love this! Absolutely hooked from start to finish!

Great as always Adam!

Great canoe adventure! Thanks for sharing your story and wisdom.

I follow outdoor channels and I love them. I thought your video was excellent, you have a lot of knowledge and courage. I loved the tips on how to use resins to repair clothes. The tree sap to heal the wound was incredible. Greetings from Brazil.

Well done, thanks so much for the inspiration

Loved this! I can't wait for part 2!

Amazing! Can't wait to watch!

Really enjoyed this Adam!

Thank you for this! Looking forward to part deux...

Wow-that takes grit and dedication. I’m tired just watching you. Best of luck and stay safe

Awesome adventure! Can't wait for part 2.

Dedicated and persistent, that was amazing to watch im excited for part two.

Epic trip so far man! 🙌🏻 Love the addition of wild edible plants! That long portage looked killer ☠️

Adam, as much as I like reading your books, I loved watching this so much.... This is no mean feat filming yourself...

Such a wonderful adventure!!

That creek and the muskeg was like the Slough of Despond, much respect Adam. The floating bog made me think of the utility of wearing snow shoes across it lol. At well over 200 lbs I would probably have to make a pair for that crossing! Loon poop can be a freaky bottomless pit.

Absolutely incredible! I'm in awe.

Can't wait to watch!

Greetings from Finland! I`m a big fan of yours, I have read two books from you and just started to read ”history of canada in ten maps”. Great to see some video footage also!

That was a fun video :) Subscribed for part 2

The beaver dams create little ponds, much easier for travel, imagine if it was just a creek.?

Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing. 👍151

I just started listening to your book alone against the North on audible. Heard about it from John Ontario of lost lakes. Didn't know you have a KZread channel.

Really cool. Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. Maybe you could add a map of where your travel took you.

I tried those clams a few times as well and I’d have to have one foot in the grave to bother with them again haha

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. That was my first book, and it's about this very landscape, the Hudson Bay Lowlands.

Can't believe you stayed upright with a partially-swamped boat and no air bags!!

When I'm doing youtube full time, one trip I want to take is to float the entire Peace River. It's unfortunate I won't be on days off when you're in Hudson's Hope.

Nice adventure solo journey enjoying with nature

I just came across you're channel, great adventure new sub here.... Cheers👍😎👍

Absolutely amazing nice sound.thanks for sharing your journey.guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak.add this sound in your bucket list.

I don't know how you do it? But I'm glad you do!

Excited to see you on KZread. Would love to see more of the wildlife analysis and notes, fauna and flora. And maybe better video quality? Thanks for the video! Love your books.

Thank you for filming your trip! I have read three of your books and enjoyed them immensely - and I just ordered: "Where the Falcon Flies". Watching the video footage of a trip of yours was particularly fascinating. Thank you for making the extra effort to capture your experiences on film. New subscriber here!
