Adam Shoalts is a Canadian writer, author, historian, and authentic wilderness explorer. Being a land explorer in the 21st century is hard work: with all the great rivers, mountain ranges, and land masses long since discovered or explored, Shoalts confines himself to less glorious prizes. On his expeditions, he explores remote areas of the Canadian wilderness that have never been mapped from on the ground or explored by non-aboriginals before, and where many of the landmarks and waterways remain unnamed. He has been the first person to document various nameless rivers in the James Bay watershed. Unlike other would-be explorers, his expeditions are done without the aid of satelite phones, GPS, guides, or guide books.

When not on major expeditions, he frequently undertakes smaller adventures, and is a regular newspaper columnist, award-winning environmentalist, author, and historian working towards his Ph.D, specializing in the history of exploration. He is currently focused on researching the history of Sasquatch sightings and reports in the journals of early explorers.
