    Looks like y’all had a good time. My wife and guide in that area and spend lots and lots of time around there. It never gets old!! I just came out of the woods last week and saw around 30 moose in 4days.

      Wow! I have never seen that many, but it's every time I always see at least a few! I am hoping to head more north for the next visit. Thanks for watching!

    Loved your video, take my grandsons there many times in the summer, the boys love it, we buy the season camping pass, so we spend most of the summer up there, thank for the good footage. Spent a lot of my younger day there cutting wood.

      Devastating! Romp will be different for sure. Also it was a nice break in the drive to the North Maine Woods. I'll miss it, my daughter always knew I would bring her home some giant cookies every Winter Romp.

    I noticed you have the Seasucker roto pack adapters, any issues? I just bought the roof rack for my 2013 LR4. Nice video and I’m not a purest overlander, I’d like to keep it stock and certainly don’t want to scratch the paint which is pristine. Thanks for sharing!

      Hi, I’ve never had an LR4, I had a 3 for a while and went lots of places in it. The Seasuckers/rotopax mounts are nice, very secure, it says to
      Mount them vertically, but I had no issues mounting them horizontally on the roof. I pumped them every day, but usually they didn’t need it. If pumping them doesn’t make sense it will once you use them. I also modified one to take my radio antenna so now that is completely removable too. Once they’re on and pumped they are solid, maybe too solid, id bet I would lose the window before they let go.
      I agree with stock, especially for overlanding, I did a lot to make my LR3 “better”, bigger tires, compressor, skids, steel bumpers, tire carrier, rack, and it became a heavy less comfortable place to spend time. I’m trying to keep this D5 as comfy as possible. There’s virtually no overlanding near me, so everything is lots of highway before the dirt.

    Nice trip! What percentage would you need 4X4?

    • @joemcdonough326
      @joemcdonough326  6 місяців тому +1

      You wouldn't need 4x4 at all, I would be more worried about a tire puncture. If it was rainy or snowy that could change, but I think a 2 wheel drive with nice tires would be all you need to get out there.

      I agree, it's all owned by paper companies now, and hopefully the way things are can continue, but I would hate to see the North Maine Woods become anything but natural woodlands. Thanks for watching.

    OMG....you fly anywhere near an airstrip and its like a $27k fine.

    • @joemcdonough326
      @joemcdonough326  6 місяців тому +1

      Regardless of fines, I'd just hate to be flying, and then hear a plane, then look around for that, lose sight of the drone,, and anything could happen. At that point, anyone would prefer any fine to what that accident could look like.
      The FAA seems to have a list of Airports you can't fly near, and those not on the list like this one have much more relaxed rules, that being said, I won't be flying there again.

      I'm broken hearted. It was the springing off point for all my Maine adventures. Many times I'd leave home at 5am to start with breakfast at Big G's at 8. I miss it for sure. Thank you for watching!
