I stumbled across this book in a small, independent bookstore in northern Wisconsin. In addition to being my kind of subject, I have to admit the spooky cover didn't hurt when I decided to purchase it. :). Needless to say, I couldn't put it down and it was great to find these accompanying UA-cam videos. I just finished "Beyond the Trees" (purchased at the same bookstore) which is almost as good. Keep up the great work Adam!
I just found this video. Watched it after I've read to Chapter 16, "In the Shadow of the Mountain". Perfect encapsulation. This is a great story, and on my next outdoor canoe adventure, I'll likely retell some of these great short stories to give our canoe trip guys something to dream about! Thank-you Mr. Shoalts!
I'm really enjoying living vicariously through your adventures! I enjoyed this video after having read your book on this Labrador expedition. Looking forward to part two!
Thank you for your additional (video) content! It motivates me to read "The Whisper on the Night Wind" again :) @10:58: "duly noted" Can't wait for part 2
Page turning book! I couldn't put it down! Every night when you turned in, I feared for something that went bump in the night! I love kayaking but will stay local!
Thanks for sharing your adventures! I read the accompanying book and I’m now reading Alone Against The North. Only a rare individual would be willing to endure such hardship to explore unknown reaches. The bugs too appreciate you sharing yourself!
I received the book from my daughter for Christmas last year. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it's nice to see some actual footage from the expedition to go along with the pictures I drummed up in my mind while reading this fascinating tale!
Wow, I cant wait to see the cave and part 2! I was south of Brisay, Quebec looking for caves a few weeks ago. I hope you make it to Cave Creature Lake in the Mealy Mountains and tell us the story of the cave creature!
Great adventure and book. Thanks. Have you thought about using a machete for such a trip? With two people taking turns, it seems it would require less energy.
Thanks for sharing this. Read some of your books and enjoy using my imagination to picture what you’re going through. Seeing the footage is fantastic however. I’m sure your channel will get some traction soon and I look forward to the next adventure.
I absolutely loved this book (as well as all of your others). Very cool to see some of the wild terrain that you wrote about. It sounded pretty brutal reading about dragging the canoe and bushwacking. This video proves how brutal is was!
Great job filming this during such challenging terrain! I also really enjoyed your book 😊. Question, did you unfortunately lose the canoe rope along the way? Stay safe out there 😉
We forgot the rope when we were unloading the car, but I actually holding onto the canoe directly (rather than a rope) when wading upstream, as it helps maintain balance.
Hey Adam! I’m a young person hoping to be an explorer, planning my first expedition to a remote crownland lake and just wondering if you have camp without a tent and instead a tarp?
Yes I have, but I wouldn't recommend it if the bugs are bad. It's best to sleep in a tarp in the fall when there are no bugs, or else early spring or winter.
The thick foliage along the banks prevented the use of tracking lines. They'd just get tangled up and force us down into the water. Since we had to get in the water, it was faster/easier to just drag the canoe and use it for balance.
@@adamshoalts I understand. Just did not see any lines. FYI, a game changing piece of gear is tractor boots from Patagonia. Aluminum on the bottom sticks to slimy rocks during bump and drag. Sticks like Grumman canoes used to stick on the rocks. Saves lots of energy from slipping around. My two cents.
I will never understand why there is not hundreds of thousand of views in your videos . What you do is amazing, I hope to do the same one day !
Great to see this actual footage while reading the book. Was well done Thanks
I appreciate no cringy background music and no video "effects." Just natural sounds and good clear video.

Grateful to have this footage of Junks. RIP Brother.

Nice to have some video after listening to the audible book. And here I complained about some of the Temagami portages. LOL!

Thank you!
this is amazing to see. I read the book ,now i have a visual of it , great job .
What a slog! Can't wait to see when you get to the highlands!
That looked absolutely brutal! Best of luck on book sales! I always look forward to your content.
Thanks for giving us access to your work, and also shedding light on our past.
Great book, even better to see it come to life. Thank you.
I read some of this in your book! Cool. Awesome book and neat to see the video to go with it.

I was hoping to see some video from this trip. Thanks for posting it.
Another Excellent book Adam! Thanks for the footage too. Can't wait for part 2.

That is some rugged country! Not just anyone that can punch through that!🤘
So cool to see parts of the book come to life
Awesome man. Your books are great.
Man! I’m watching you guys struggle through that terrain…how could a big bear go through that???
Thanks for sharing this. Read some of your books and enjoy using my imagination to picture what you’re going through. Seeing the footage is fantastic however. I’m sure your channel will get some traction soon and I look forward to the next adventure.
Mike Sandone linked ya, so I'm here enjoying your adventures!
Why didn't you have painter lines on your canoe? Great video!
After reading your book it was really nice to see the the video of where you went, should do that with all of your books from now on.
I just need to find the time to edit the footage from all my expeditions! It's on my List of Things to Do.
wow! those rapids!! I'm so excited to read the book!
Thanks!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the book!
When you guys were heading up the mountain, why did Zack bring his canoe paddle? For a walking stick? To fend off bears?
One of the funniest parts of the book is the explanation for why he did that...basically a walking stick, without giving too much a way.
I try not to comment, but... of all people... where is the pole?!! ;) (honestly though, fantastic as always! Thanks for making the effort to film!)
Great job filming this during such challenging terrain! I also really enjoyed your book 😊. Question, did you unfortunately lose the canoe rope along the way? Stay safe out there 😉

Hi Adam. Have you ever lost your canoe on any expedition?
Not yet!
that was a most excellent bushwhack
maybe muskeg skis could be a thing ?
You went to the Mealy mountains?
Brilliant
As fascinating as the book was, the video documentary is equally compelling.
man, that is some nasty bush !
Where are your tracking lines?
The thick foliage along the banks prevented the use of tracking lines. They'd just get tangled up and force us down into the water. Since we had to get in the water, it was faster/easier to just drag the canoe and use it for balance.

Ha ha, don't get into an argument with Zach over the last piece of lichen.
so this book is a true story?
Yes!
