Adam Shoalts is an accomplished Canadian explorer with many big expeditions under his belt. He’s been a guest on my podcast (The Strenuous Life Podcast) multiple times, always with new, amazing stories.
In our most recent conversation he explained how mindset and mentality are MUCH much more important than gear for staying safe in the wilderness. He went into detail about how you should be an anti-adrenaline junkie when navigating large lakes, running difficult rapids, or dealing with dangerous situations in the bush.
You can catch my complete conversation with Adam on episode 374 of The Strenuous Life Podcast here.
Cheers,

CHECK OUT MY NEW BOOK, PERSEVERANCE, LIFE AND DEATH IN THE SUBARCTIC!
Perseverance, Life and Death in the Subarctic, is the story of my 42-day solo expedition across the Canadian Subarctic after coming back from the brink of death. On this trip, I encountered bears, storms, forest fires, and raging rapids, and had to find new ways to unlock new levels of endurance and tenacity.
I’ve been told it’s a great adventure story, has lots of useful tips and tricks for the outdoors, and is an inspiring read as well. I’d be honoured if you check it out at the bookstore of your choice or at the links below…
