Trip to the North Maine Woods - Part 1 

Afternoon, GBN - Excited to have found this, your Maine adventure. I grew up in Maine and frequented the Allagash, hunting & fishing. This is going to be a treat to watch, thanks & take care...

Love the music

I love the back roads Maine New Hampshire, and Vermont. Take it over Disney AnyDay❤🇺🇲

I lived in Maine for 45 years,born and raised in Northern Aroostook County in a small town called Portage lake,spent most of my life in Washington County until moving to N.C in 2020 love Maine always will.

Love Maine, moved from Rhode Island fryeburg, planing a trip to Moosehead lake this year can’t wait for it.

Wow am I impressed! I've never been to Maine but seeing you take this trek makes me think maybe I could still do it! Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic. I love Maine, been there many many times over lots of years. Been down the Golden Road coming from Moos Head Lake to Millinocket. Fished and camped along the way. Beautiful place.

Please do more videos!

I stayed at Chase Lake the 1st week of August this year. We spent a day on Spider too. If you want solitude this is the place to find it..

Very nice man. I go to spider and pleasant every year

beautiful ! nicely done ! Jeep rigged very well. a winch is a good thing to have up there !

Nicely done!

Pretty common to drive 50 miles and never see anyone. Makes you realize if you have trouble your on your own. Can't rely on navigation from satellites either. Roads come and go quicker then the updates.

Nicely done video, I will subscribe. I love northern Maine, my wife and I just did 3 nights camping at Lily Bay State Park north of Greenville, beautiful campground, had wonderful weather. My favorite area to camp.

Awesome videos. I was just up there in August. Stayed at the Pittston Farm a couple nights and then camped 2 nights in the north woods. We did the whole golden road and explored some side trails around Penobscot Lake looking for a campsite. We ran into a retired trooper and his wife a couple times and they warned us one of the sites around there were occupied by some shady characters. So we ended up camping at Ledbetter falls, so it’s cool we have that in common. Beautiful site. It’s cool that everyone we met out there was nice and it seemed like people were looking out for each other. We played it safe since we had two little ones onboard but we’re planning to explore more next year

Some of your side trips are due to choice of mapping . I Strongly suggest you heat a Maine Sportsman’s bible, ( atlas/ gazateer) company would be DeLorme . Unfortunately when Garmin bought out DeLorme they decided to stop production. So you will need to find an older copy. DeLorme was bought out because their GPS/ Satellite products were superior. Most of the roads are not marked. Many times their are new roads built by the logging companies that are not on anyone’s map.I usually spend at least two nine day periods lost in the Northwoods. My set up is different than yours , full size pickup with a cap, allows me to keep gear dry, 4- 6 gallon cans of gas. Canoe on truck racks and 14’ boat and motor on a trailer. Tent, sleeping gear , food and cooking gear in the truck bed . I use modern coolers , Yeti and Cabela’s , no need to go get more ice for the entire trip out. Tires on my truck and trailer are ten ply, I also bring a patch kit and a small 12 volt compressor. Two come alongs and a thirty foot length of tow chain. I set up a base camp for several days or sometimes the whole time. Then I make outings to other places to fish or sight see.. didn’t see what you were using for lures, but try some copper or brass super duper’s , silver and blue spoons , gold and orange, copper and red spoons. Brand does not seem to matter. Keep exploring. Also keep in mind a lot of the road names have Canadian roots Boulet ( boo-ley). Happy trails . If I see you in my travels up north I stop in and say hello!

I think that Maine is one of the most beautiful states in the nation: back in the '80's, I worked on a crew planting trees for Scott Paper Co. (which owns most of the northern part of the state)- we drove, pulling our camper trailers, 70 MILES on gravel roads to get to our work site. Spent a week in the middle of absolute nowhere.....

Looks like a fun time, thanks for sharing OB7099.

QQ: Does the rooftop tent kill you MPG? I have a Gladiator and was thinking about getting one also did you need lockers in Maine or just 4x4 I only have a sport model without lockers.

any flat tires from the shale on the roads ? Nice video !!

Quesiton: could you traverse the North maine woods from south end to the very top near Canadian border in a day and half?
