Finally someone with street cred... canoe cred? who is willing to tell people that, not only is it ok to stand in a canoe, but that poling is a very valuable skill. Thank you!

You make it look so easy. Reading Beyond The Trees right now. What an amazing adventure you took us on. I also bought the movie. Thanks for sharing these with us🥰

I just finished the beyond the trees audiobook. It was a lot of fun to follow your journey using Google Earth. Your descriptions made it so I could usually figure out where you were.

Awesome, I'm booked to learn this skill this summer. Though 59 lbs isn't what I would call light for a canoe.....

Subbed! Looks great Adam! It’s fun watching your adventures. I’m terrible at balance though, I’m pretty sure I’d just fall in haha

Adam! I just finished "10 Maps" and am about three quarters through "Beyond the Trees". Excellent read! My son, Noah recently completed a canoe crossing of Labrador. He recommended your books (one of which was a significant inspiration for his travels). Thanks for being a modern Voyageur!

Mr. Booth! Big fan of your son! Love NORTHERN SCAVENGER. That was an epic crossing Noah and the boys did. Proud of your boy I bet! One of ,if not my favorite series on KZitem. Adam inspired him, Noah inspired me. It's what it's all about!

Hi Adam, Interestingly, I'm just reading about your poling exploits on the Mackenzie and Hare Indian rivers. Thanks to your demo, I can now see how this would work, but man, so much would depend on the depth, bottom type and especially your ability to keep the momentum up. Were you able to train for this before setting out? It also suggests to me that SUP boarders might have an advantage going upstream if they used their paddle as a pole, especially given that their balance problems might be less than in a canoe...

I could never pick this up in the Allagash Waterway. Had to fight my way paddling upstream.

Books are great. But you should really consider developing your youtube content. Like or not but that's the medium where most of reach is done nowadays. Will help funding more travels. Good luck

How do you keep the canoe from spinning in the current?
@adamshoalts

You brace the canoe by pushing down with the pole and touching the bottom. That and the forward momentum from the thrusts is enough to keep the canoe going forward.

15 feet is a nice solo size boat, I run a Swift Prospector carbon fiber, 15 feet and in many tight streams the extra 2 feet on a 17 foot boat is too much between the obstacles, being rocks and tree logs etc.

Although I'm always happy to welcome new people to the outdoors, I just can't wait for the plethora of newcomers brought on by the pandemic to lose interest. Littering, vandalism, theft, and new restrictions is usually what comes with the masses who don't have respect.
