I will say this is the soul of KZfaq. 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!

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

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!!!

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

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 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.

You’re NUTS….I love it!

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.

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

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

ME AND THE WIFE NEED PART TWO ! ! !

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.

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!

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.

Love the adventure Adam, never stop exploring!

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

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

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 KZfaq channel takes off. You deserve it!

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

100% PURE LEGEND

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.

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

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

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!

Enjoyed your intervier with Jim Baird. Bought your book, "Alone against the North". Excellent read. Thanks for sharing your story in such a well written book. Cheers. Keep your paddle in the water.

Hey Adam. Another fantastic adventure & video! Thanks for sharing these beautiful, rarely seen landscapes along with the wildlife and your foraging tips. Truly entertaining! Congrats on this accomplishment and hoping your plans for 2024 are going well. Cheers from Fonthill👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻

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

Really good - looking forward to part 2

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!

Happy to see you have your own channel. Subscribed!

Well done, thanks so much for the inspiration

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!"

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.

True persistence,very commendable

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

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).

Such a wonderful adventure!!

Dude, your trips are friggin' hardcore!

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!

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!

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

I can't begin to imagine that challenging portage. Wow!

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!

Love this! Absolutely hooked from start to finish!

Absolutely incredible! I'm in awe.

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.

Awesome adventure! Can't wait for part 2.

That was a fun video :) Subscribed for part 2

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

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

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

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

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

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!

Fantastic video Adam. I love your work. Im always looking forward to your next inspiring adventure.

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 KZfaq channel.

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

A place so inhospitable that not even Sasquatch can be found…. What an adventure though!

Just finished reading, "Alone Against the North". I couldn't put it down! It is a novel used for ELA30

Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed the journey so far. Hard core trippin’ for sure. I have fished much of that area but by fly-in fishing charters with Cochrane Air. Looking forward to part 2 😊

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

Wow, you really should have a cape on your back, what a super human effort, so awesome……….

Can't wait to watch!

your video is very good. great youtube❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This looks like a BBC documentary my friend! Absolutely gorgeous!

Incredible, love your books Adam!

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

Sunset @ 1:10:54 Wow

Excited to see you on KZfaq. 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!

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

Beautiful

Awesome! Thanks for the ride✌

Amazing! Can't wait to watch!

Epic adventure!

Great as always Adam!

I just finished your book, "A History of Canada in Ten Maps" so perfect timing for your voyage!!! Highly recommend everyone read it!!

Really enjoyed this Adam!

Very cool. Been in some hoary places in my past but with bugs like that? Nope. I'd have the screamin' meemies within a day.

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.

Fantastic, Dr. Shoalts! Your calm determination in overcoming the rigors of traveling through the bush is inspiring. When was this trip in sequence to the trips in your books?

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.

Adam Shoalts ASMR kino for going to sleep thank you sir

Amazing journey. Admire your positive attitude, very inspiring! What camera equipment did you use?

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

Amaazing!

Finally someone showing some poling skills

You the man

Might just be me, but if I have a spruce and a cedar side by side, I'm grabbing cedar for tea every single time. Great video!

Oh wow ...Adam has a KZfaq channel! just watched part 1, very good1 I especially enjoy the educational bits about the plants, resins, etc! This looks to be based on the same journey as one of several of your books that I've read ...Alone Against The North" ?

Legend!

Almost looks like The Dead Marshes from LOTR. Also, did you swear when you dipped your foot in the water during the logjams? (40:38) Haha not that I blame you, because that looked fun....
