Who are we? Well we are a group of old farts who love adventure! From hiking to camping or where ever the life takes us, we love to go explore. We love our state and the rich history behind what has made Northern Maine unique. You will see most of our adventures take take place from north of Bangor (yes there is life beyond Stephen Kings hometown)! Plus you may get some cute videos of our cats as well. So what is a Ditch Chicken you might ask? Well it is a Ruffed Grouse/Partridge. Remember, Life is good when you're a little crazy!
Iron heritage Savage Axis 22-250 for my cousin of mine that passed away. I took it out and fired it against my Ruger number 1 and my 1966 Remington 700 both of those have super high quality leopolds... That damn cheap Savage axes with his cheap norinco scope, out shot both of them! I picked up a Ruger m77 heavy barrel 22/250 let's see if it can outshoot that Savage?
Had mine purchased 2017 go into slamfire mode, it in quick succession emptied the magazine of 27 rds with many firing before being in battery. After I cleaned brass shrapnel out of my face and gained my composure i promptly boxed and sent a email to kt to have them send a package slip. Two weeks or so later i received the arm back untouched with a work order stating all the repairs that were completed. NONE of which had been done. firing pin was still inside arm broken into two pieces, almost three. I once again emailed with a to be expected ticked off email of how i would move there to be a competent smith and fulfill repairs to a satisfactory standard. after the second and ACTUAL repair this pos example still does not function worth its weight. its a GEN 1.5 essentially. they didnt replace the barrel. the slide. as stated in rep order. only the broken firing pin and pin spring. The hammer to firing pin in battery geometry is so bad. I explained why the pin broke in the first place to no avail. The hammer comes in contact w F pin at something like a 40 degree angle and in turn flexes the firing pin at its lightning bolt shaped zig zag. mem part? Took me all of 5 minutes to figure out. A complete failure of what was close to a great arm... Its a jam O matic on every magazine. may fire 20, may fire 3. never know. Hands down the worst firearm i have ever purchased and or owned... I would like it to not be buttttt.
Thank you for watching and sharing. I loved the idea of this firearm but know have a complete lack of faith in keltec. Thankfully you are safe as I have spoken to some gun shops and they had worse things happen to customers, resulting in injuries.think it is time for Keltec to admit they failed with this and recall all the older models.
😢 hope you were ok! Spoke to a gun shop last week about these pistols and they said they have had so many complaints. They had one where the whole back of the top rail blew apart. They need to either recall these or make them stronger
@@mattdelaflor9675 I would say it’s about 3 to 5 feet deep depending on rain and how dry the summers of course. Not sure how well the trailer would work with backing in because I think the water was fairly shallow for the first maybe 10 to 15 feet. At about a foot or two deep.
@DitchChickenAdventures sounds like enough water for me to try atleast haha. I'm planning a fishing trip up the golden/telos roads and plan on ending my trip at Spider.
It is a great trip in to visit them. If you have the right camping gear, you can camp out at one of the sites along the way. Popup camper or tent is usually the easiest for many of the sites.
When I was a kid we had one of these types of loco's parked in a Brick Factory rail yard and we would play on it like a jungle gym.. bring back memories. Looking fwd to the follow up mate. Cheers.
Thank you so much! Living up here for all these decades, we are still finding these amazing places to visit/camp. Wish more were accessible for the camper but I fully understand why they are like this. Will have some more modern camp ground videos soon!
Lombards were built in Waterville Maine and my grandfather who lived close by to the old one on display near the bridge told the city that people were stealing parts off it. They covered it up, but a few years ago they cared more about putting a wider road in and removed it. The city of Waterville just wants a new image and cares little. About their history or heritage.
It is sad that people act like that. There is so much great history this state has and yet so much is never taught. Waterville should be proud of Alvin Lombard and what he did for the industry. Great inventions. This is why we work hard to promote the museum and volunteer when we can. Thank you for sharing.
Man this things a Beast.. ive never seen one of these before and Im so glad I came across your channel mate. Good on ya for keeping this machine alive. Cheers.
Good day and thank you. Does your company offer Ram products? You can send details to our email if so. I would interested in learning more, but do not own a jeep.
Sorry you feel this way. I was born and raised in the county. Growing up we camped a lot up in the NMW or explored there. Family also helped restore the ghost trains. My love for the woods is why we work hard to show the beauty of Maine. Hope you have a blessed day and an amazing week!
Good morning from Cape Cod ⚓ I follow King of Obsolete in Northern Manitoba. He has a couple of Linn tractors and Lombard sleighs, still with skis for staring. It's very cool that you guys are maintaining and utilizing this awesome equipment 👍✌️🇺🇲
They are working on getting a set of skis for the lombards. The 1914 Steam Lombard has a set, but the others are in need of them. Will make the winter event much easier to run on them.
