Whisky Fireside Chat #84 - Adam Shoalts, One of Canada's Greatest Living Explorers.

[@thevoyageur2152]

People who haven’t spent time in the woods wouldn’t understand your situation. I liked your 1st book. Paddle on Adam! Thanks for the interview Kevin.

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Awesome Interview with... Yes, a true Canadian Explorer Adam Shoalts. Well done and thanks for sharing with us Kevin and Adam

[@musingwithreba9667]

I think people who *don't* get out to nature for some adventure are crazy! Folks think I'm crazy because I'm female and go backpacking solo and I call it fun 😁 Canada was built by adventurers! I think it's great that there are still people who want to do that, and share their adventures with us in books, or movies or KZbin.

[@hadrux4643]

Men of the Last Frontier and Ontario's Lost Canoe Routes are two of the books that got me hooked on canoeing and tripping when I was a teenager too. Gonna have to pick up one of Adam's books asap! Stellar interview, thanks Kevin!

[@k.n.v.b1113]

Just bought the book A HISTORY OF CANADA IN TEN MAPS and then this interview comes on KCHC ! can't wait to read the book ! keep living the dream Adam thank you for sharing with us

[@Sraccoon68]

Thanks Kevin and Adam, fantastic chat! Honestly, quite inspirational.

[@canadian4life796]

Great interview, very excited to hear what Adam had to say. Loved his books and happy to hear there is another on the way!

Speaking of mosquitos…I live in the Northwest Territories as a child. I remember one summer when the carburetor in our car died due to immense, overwhelming clouds of mosquitoes…truly NO joke! I think we should have bought stock in bug spray, as we were always covered in it, as well as wearing bug shirts and masks. As a child, we never thought it was unusual, so now when I hear of people complaining of a single mosquito or black fly bite, I laugh (as long as it’s not a serious allergy). There is much JOY being in our pristine wilderness…I hope more will begin to bring their families into our amazing wilderness, as my incredible parents and grandparents did with us! Just remember to RESPECT nature and all its glory, so generations can enjoy it long after we pass to the great beyond! Cheers!🇨🇦

Great interview Kevin! Nice to hear some varied questions, not the typical media fodder.

[@TheHappyCamper]

I really enjoyed that part myself.

[@larrydahmer3212]

this is great to see Kevin and Adam together! imagine a canoe trip with these two!...perhaps that could be a future happy camper video?

[@grounded81]

Excellent interview with a fascinating person. Thanks, Kevin.

[@DENNISHARDY1]

[@conniewaite1996]

Very good Canada's got some very special places .Glad you shared .

[@trishaharrison6183]

This was awesome. Thank you so much Kevin and Adam.😘

[@timmiller3010]

Great interview Kevin and Adam. I find it's amazing how our lives grow from the seeds that are planted so early. It's a beautiful thing when it all flows just like a river! You can see it on Adam's face when talking about being crazy or not. Well done!

[@wolfoutdoorscanada]

Awesome Interview !!!

[@birdnerd119]

Loved this! I've heard Adam talk at the University of Guelph arboretum and he is incredibly fascinating to listen to! I always look forward to hearing about his adventures and reading his books

[@joshualewis8068]

This was an amazing surprise!!! I didn't realize who Adam was until his book Alone Against the North was mentioned. I enjoyed listening to every second of his book and this interview!!! Thanks for this interview.

[@CoveringWater]

Awesome show guys!

[@Brian-ye3kn]

Wow! When he said that his first outdoor adventure was when his Uncle dropped him off in the bush, it brought back memories of when my Dad did the same for me at 13. Being still a young guy, he makes many of us jealous of his fantastic life up to now.

[@TOOZECRUISE]

I don't even use this term but OMG!! Kevin! Adam Shoalts!! 🤘🤘

[@VFTC678]

I admire this man. A true role model in a world of false prophets.

[@dennisley3553]

What an interesting guy, with enviable adventures..

[@Evan_Le5]

Lost in the Barrens is what started it all for me too I just got a copy for fun a couple months ago!

[@jamjw1]

Thank you Kevin i was waiting for this interview for a long time.

[@TheHappyCamper]

Glad you caught it. I enjoyed chatting with Adam.

[@nula.moonsnail]

It would be really cool to see Adam Shoults and Bruce Kirkby join forces for a project/adventure

[@mynameisnickish]

What a cool interview. I started his book Beyond the Trees after hearing the interview. I think the comparisons to Indiana Jones is wrong, he is more of a Frodo Baggins to me. If he ever decided to write a fantasy epic I would read it in a heart beat.

[@adamshoalts]

I think you'll like my next book!

[@musingwithreba9667]

@@adamshoalts I loved the LoTR reference with the map. That was hilarious 😄 Uncle Bilbo would be proud!

[@trishaharrison6183]

Hi Adam

[@cretan911]

hahahaha i have all those books too

[@graveltravelcanada]

When's part two of the interview?

[@conniewaite1996]

It may seem odd to paddle against a current.but think a moment,fur traders were loaded down with furs,once sold,had to go back and return
