I will say this is the soul of TH-cam. 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!
This channel should have a 100,000 subscribers! Remarkable journey and stunning storytelling. Can’t wait for part 2!!
Fantastic adventure video! The obstacles you face with a calm demeanor is impressive! I am looking forward to Part II.
Sunday morning coffee and an hour long video from mr shoalts. Awesome!
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!"
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.
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.
You’re NUTS….I love it!
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.
Great to see you in the wild after reading the book. Thanks Adam
ME AND THE WIFE NEED PART TWO ! ! !
I'm exhausted just watching you. I need to take a break
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!
What a treat! Thank you for sharing another beautiful adventure! Always grateful. Thanks Adam!
Love the adventure Adam, never stop exploring!
Thank you for this! Looking forward to part deux...
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!!!
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!
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'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!
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 TH-cam channel takes off. You deserve it!
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.
Adam what a journey ! that was amazing, looking forward part two. Thank you sharing this.
Keep up the hard work, Adam. Thank you for sharing with us, your books and videos go a long way.
Thanks!
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).
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👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
100% PURE LEGEND
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.
Really good - looking forward to part 2
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.
Thank you!
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!
True persistence,very commendable
Happy to see you have your own channel. Subscribed!
Wow! I heard about you from Canoehound and he was right. Very impressive adventure!
Really enjoyed this
Such a wonderful adventure!!
Hats off to you! What a REAL Adventure! Cant wait for part 2!
Dude, your trips are friggin' hardcore!
Epic trip so far man! 🙌🏻
Love the addition of wild edible plants!
That long portage looked killer ☠️
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.
The start of it looks awesome. I can't wait to watch it later. Thanks for sharing another video.
Hope you enjoy it!
Adam, as much as I like reading your books, I loved watching this so much.... This is no mean feat filming yourself...
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.
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!
Thrilled for your next book and part 2!
Great canoe adventure! Thanks for sharing your story and wisdom.
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!
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!
I can't begin to imagine that challenging portage. Wow!
Great video Adam. Looking forward to part 2 already!!
This looks like a BBC documentary my friend! Absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks! I'm not quite sure it's up to their standards, but I'm glad you think so!
Love this! Absolutely hooked from start to finish!
Awesome adventure! Can't wait for part 2.
Absolutely incredible! I'm in awe.
Wow-that takes grit and dedication. I’m tired just watching you. Best of luck and stay safe
That's awesome! Can't wait till part 2!
The beaver dams create little ponds, much easier for travel, imagine if it was just a creek.?
Dedicated and persistent, that was amazing to watch im excited for part two.
Can't believe you stayed upright with a partially-swamped boat and no air bags!!
Fantastic video Adam. I love your work. Im always looking forward to your next inspiring adventure.
Thanks!
Well done, thanks so much for the inspiration
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing. 👍151
your video is very good. great youtube❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
Loved this! I can't wait for part 2!
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 😊
Thanks!
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!
Incredible, love your books Adam!
Thank you!
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 TH-cam channel.
Really cool. Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. Maybe you could add a map of where your travel took you.
A place so inhospitable that not even Sasquatch can be found…. What an adventure though!
Awesome! Thanks for the ride✌
Adam Shoalts ASMR kino for going to sleep thank you sir
I just finished your book, "A History of Canada in Ten Maps" so perfect timing for your voyage!!! Highly recommend everyone read it!!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the book!
@@adamshoalts loved it! I didn't know about many of these early explorers and didn't understand why Franklin was given two other voyages after his first.
My copy just showed up yesterday in the mail. Can't wait!
Just finished reading, "Alone Against the North". I couldn't put it down! It is a novel used for ELA30
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. That was my first book, and it's about this very landscape, the Hudson Bay Lowlands.
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.
That was a fun video :) Subscribed for part 2
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
Excited to see you on TH-cam. 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.
Thanks! The whole thing was filmed in full HD. If you select the settings in the lower corner, TH-cam lets you switch the resolution to as high as you want.
Nice adventure solo journey enjoying with nature
Great as always Adam!
Amazing! Can't wait to watch!
Really enjoyed this Adam!
I don't know how you do it? But I'm glad you do!
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!
Thank you!
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.
Finally someone showing some poling skills
yeah interesting. Never heard of it till this. Looks like seriously hard, long work.
Epic adventure!
Beautiful
Can't wait to watch!
I just came across you're channel, great adventure new sub here.... Cheers👍😎👍
Sunset @ 1:10:54
Wow
Amazing journey. Admire your positive attitude, very inspiring! What camera equipment did you use?
Thanks! I have two cameras I pack: a GoPro and a Sony Handycam (mainly for wildlife filming).
Wow, you really should have a cape on your back, what a super human effort, so awesome……….
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?
This was in 2021, the year before I did my Lake Erie to the Arctic journey described in the book Where the Falcon Flies.
Amaazing!
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.
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!
