The North Maine Woods! Truck Camping on Realty Road

Join me on another North Maine Woods Truck Camping adventure! On this trip my friend Mike and I from ‪@bnatural2‬ traveled to Ashland Maine, to pick up Realty Road at the Six Mile Check Point. The mission was simple, spend a few days taking in the sights and exploring a new section of the North Maine Woods. Check out Mike's channel as well! He is responsible for the photos you see here on the thumbnail!
My goal for the video was to pass along a bit of information so it is a little longer than is typical for a 3-day trip. I tried to focus on the sights and sounds, provide camp cooking ideas, show the campsites, and even current road conditions as of 7/9. While the video might give you an idea of places to explore, I beg folks who watch my, and other youtubers videos, to take care of these areas. Some are put off by the sharing of information about locations because it increases impact to the areas. However, folks like me hope increasing awareness about good practices and locations will help preserve them and access to them will continue. Most of these incredible places are private property and if care is not taken resources could be impacted and access could be lost.
Lastly, I am including several links for gear used in the video below. The first and most important is the Atlas used to plan the trip. I would highly recommend it if you were looking to adventure in the North Maine Woods.

Good stuff, thanks for sharing the sites

My pleasure! Hope to get back up there soon!

[@thomcarroll5845]

Chamomile will keep those bugs off ya

[@projectknifehand]

I've tried the natural stuff. I complained about them but i only took a few actual bites. I usually try just using layers if I can help it. But I will give that a shot!

[@buckchase1]

Love your vids of Maine, buddy. What camera set up does your friend have, I want to get one like that for my wife. We are from Maine and spend a lot of time in VERY remote areas like you.

[@projectknifehand]

Hi there! Thanks for watching first off. I know more about the action cameras and video then I do about that level of camera. He may chime in here or you can check out his channel and ask him if you like! I linked his page in the description.

[@thomcarroll5845]

Y’all haven’t dropped a fly at either sites y’all should check em all out worst site might prove best

[@projectknifehand]

We fished the sites we stayed at. The goal was to spend some time relaxing at the second lake site so we moved on quickly. That being said I love spending time there and suck at fly fishing lol. I will be going back as soon as the knee heals and do just what you said. Hit the water is several different places.

Is that 12 gage bear protection?? Love it!!

[@projectknifehand]

Sure is. Folks will argue it is not enough, but I do not agree, and besides it is what I have.

[@davecastoldi9564]

@@projectknifehand if that’s what you have, then it’s perfect. Thinking about checking out the golden road late next month. I watched your video on it. Awesome. I’m gonna bring a G20 (10mm) with me. Hopefully I don’t need it. They don’t try to discourage you from bringing protection, do they?

[@projectknifehand]

10mm is what I have read a lot of folks prefer. I had the shotgun and I also carry my 9mm with FMJ in my chest pack. As far as I know they do not discourage it. Especially considering these are all hunted areas. And not to sound rude to anyone who is reading that is against it, but I don't care lol. It is Maine, and they allow it so I will! I appreciate you checking out my videos for sure. There is a lot of beauty up there and I am learning a lot about the areas I visit. Love it.

[@RomeoEdward]

@@projectknifehand 12 ga with slugs is more than enough for bears.

[@projectknifehand]

Like I said I disagree with people who would say otherwise. They do exist, folks who think it is not enough. I am of the opinion a 9mm is enough for black bear. But the Mossberg came on this trip as well.

[@thomaswick4260]

I was just up to Moosehead Lake last week and on the golden road heading out a moose was on the road and had no choice but to just walk right next to my truck about 3 feet from us and we got some awesome video of it. So far this year I’ve seen 6 moose 5 black bears and a shit ton of deer. I live in Albion Maine so everyday is an adventure living in Maine and we love it.

[@projectknifehand]

That's awesome. I love Maine myself. I often feel like it's the last frontier! Well on the east coast anyway! Lol. I spend a lot of time up north. Whether it is there or NH. I do feel like it is where I belong.

[@thomaswick4260]

@@projectknifehand we moved here in 2019 from Texas. My wife is from Bar Harbor and I’m from Syracuse NY best place in the world to live hands down. It’s like being on vacation everyday here. Plus the world is crazy right now and I feel very safe here in rural Maine if something went down

[@projectknifehand]

some day I hope to at least have a camp up there. Since I travel there so often. Frequent 8 hour drives are tough

New to your channel great video Maine is awesome ⛺️🏕️-the 🪳
