Whisky Fireside Chat #84 - Adam Shoalts, One of Canada's Greatest Living Explorers.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- Another whisky Fireside Chat from The Happy Camper - this time from best selling author Adam Shoalts (Alone Against the North, A History of Canada in Ten Maps, Beyond The Trees). Adam has been labelled "one of Canada's greatest living explorers" and "Canada's Indiana Jones."
His career has included mapping rivers, leading expeditions sponsored by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and Mountain Equipment Co-op, numerous archaeological digs, photographing elusive and rare wildlife, and completing a nearly 4,000 km solo journey across Canada’s Arctic. His greatest love, however, is simply spending time in the outdoors.
Shoalts is a regular guest on television and radio, and his work has been featured in media around the world, including the BBC, CNN, CTV, CBC, and The Guardian. In 2016, Shoalts was named a national champion of the Trans-Canada Trail and in 2018 Explorer-in-Residence of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society; although he’s not resident and keeps wandering the woods.

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 UA-cam.
Awesome Interview with... Yes, a true Canadian Explorer Adam Shoalts. Well done and thanks for sharing with us Kevin and Adam
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.
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!
Great interview Kevin! Nice to hear some varied questions, not the typical media fodder.
I really enjoyed that part myself.
Thanks Kevin and Adam, fantastic chat! Honestly, quite inspirational.
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
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?
Great interview, very excited to hear what Adam had to say. Loved his books and happy to hear there is another on the way!
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.
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!
I admire this man. A true role model in a world of false prophets.
This was awesome. Thank you so much Kevin and Adam.😘
Excellent interview with a fascinating person. Thanks, Kevin.
I don't even use this term but OMG!!
Kevin! Adam Shoalts!! 🤘🤘
Very good Canada's got some very special places .Glad you shared .
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.
a very interesting discussion and a new author to read and follow on youtube...well done kevin
Awesome man and great interview,thanks
Awesome Interview !!!
Thank you Kevin i was waiting for this interview for a long time.
Glad you caught it. I enjoyed chatting with Adam.
Awesome show guys!
It would be really cool to see Adam Shoults and Bruce Kirkby join forces for a project/adventure
What an interesting guy, with enviable adventures..
Lost in the Barrens is what started it all for me too I just got a copy for fun a couple months ago!
Hi Adam
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.
I think you'll like my next book!
@@adamshoalts I loved the LoTR reference with the map. That was hilarious 😄 Uncle Bilbo would be proud!
hahahaha i have all those books too
When's part two of the interview?
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
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
