Tell me about the North Maine Woods

Hey all,

Anyone here trek through the North Maine Woods at all? I'm looking to start making outings somewhat soon, but am seeking some experienced advice as far as how/where to go about it.

I'm already spun up on the preparedness aspect, I'm not new to remote camping. Extra fuel, spare tire or two, backup upon backup of food/water, GPS Locator beacon, recovery gear, watch for logging trucks, etc etc. I just can't seem to confidently wrap my head around how to actually start the journey and find nice scenic spots to truck camp for a few nights with a Napier bed tent.

I've done some reading and watched a few yootoob videos, but nothing that really explains further than "it's beautiful, just go out and do it" montages over music.

Any advice and/or waypoints would be appreciated!

I am not a fan of the search function on Tacoma World so I typically just run a Google search where I include the search terms I want and add in Tacoma World to the search. I find that method much more effective. Try searching that way and you will likely find a number of threads, some of which will be old but will still contain useful information.

 

I actually just now ran a TW search and found a few good threads. Not sure why I didn't think to try that before.

Thanks!
