Baxter’s protections are much more wilderness oriented than the national parks. Wilderness comes first there, recreational activities second.

Seconded on Free Press for some good local political content and events. It’s quite good (and the best fire starting paper around).

What, exactly, is bioresin? Is it plastic? Does it off gas? How flammable? What’s the R-value? Anyone have a link to this type of data?

Pour Farm!

It ain’t bad! I mention it just in terms of what habitat to look for.

I have a decent amount of hares on my land. There is an area of my woods that had a spruce blight 20 years ago and most of the spruce died and blew down. It’s a little swampy. They LOVE it there. Lots of cover, young spruce and old logs.

Drawer full of candles, lighter ect. It’s really nice to have some cozy light

Ah, sorry, it already happened this year. Apologies. Check with Side Country, they have trade ins / used if you ask

Check for the Camden Hills HS ski sale. It’s bonkers and a kind of swap where (rich) parents donate last years skis and everyone moves up a size. It’s a one day mad house where people line up early, but you can get stupid good deals. Im not sure which weekend but it is soon. You can equip a kid for pennies on the dollar. It benefits the Camden skit team. Seriously, this is exactly what you are looking for!

Is Augusta too far? State Lunch and Cushnoc (especially if the back/ riverside area is open) are excellent
