>>289260Hey, I'm from Northern Maine too, 19 also.
I definitely know what you mean. I have my grandfather's old ax that is a 1930s snow and Neally from Bangor. That ax is my iron lifeline, but a lot of the urbanites have laughed at me carrying it, calling it bulky and unnecessary, On one such occasion, I got the last laugh as the urbanite's ax broke in two.
anyway, you just kind of have to laugh at all the people from Massachusetts coming up with their neon colored northface or whatever, thinking they are the shit and master outdoorsmen, when in all actuality they are pieces of shit and couldn't survive for two nights in the deep Allagash
