Really beards man This is just the shallow end of the vast ocean that is natural food sources and Really you could spread such a different and 10 times more positive message if you just documented different natural food discoveries ( ROOTS , PULPS , TEAS ETC) Rather than encouraging your audience to kill? When some of them Wont even have had a chance to form their own opinion but now they are doing what you project because they think its right.. its a sad world for the majority !
You're a very lucky man to have a son that is into what you do. I can see he really enjoys being with his Dad :) I could not believe how thin the sap was! I thought it came out of the tree a lot thicker. Thanks again for a great video. Can't wait to see your callab with Bob Hansler.
Seriously my dad is into finance I'm into cars, motorcycles, fishing, hunting, camping etc. We only talk when I need to get a loan from the bank or when I'm investing.
What's with you men. You don't have to be into the same stuff not be able to have a great relationship. A relationship depends on the person, the individual. Whether the dad is nice enough and loving enough to engage with his child boy or girl. Girls aren't always into their daddy's stuff but can have a wow relationsihp as boy. If the dad loves them enough and he himself is loving then he would always keep trying to engage with you. School stuff, your friends and how you getting on. You can have a lot in common and still not get on because of the individual. Many son's work along side their dads and can't stand them. A child is one of the most flexible beings and if he or she grows up not close to the parent usually it's because of the parent and their personality. Don't make that mistake if you ever have a child. If you do have a child and you are not close and it's not too old, it's never too late. It's all about YOU as a person and the way you are with your child. A child has many things going on - school, friends, activities (hopefully) you can always converse about what s/he is doing, how they are getting on, are they happy. It is for the parent to make that child mentally healthy and not for the child to make the parent happy. With that making the child happy will also make you happy and build on a relationship. Don't be limited, inflexible and think relationships with children are gender specific and a certain way. We live in a modern societ so keep a mondern approach. Just learn to love children and in return they will always love you. Sorry for your dad's lack of relationship as I can relate with both parents.
@@tinacline474 runs about 50.00 a gallon here in Upstate NY. I buy by the gallon and break it down into quarts and freeze it for use all year. Love it!
And if you want to finish and fully dry it out get like a cookie sheet pan and spread out the crystallized maple sugar and set the oven on low heat crack open the door alittle so the moister can leave the oven and you’ll have fully dryd crystallized maple sugar that you can place into a container and use when ever !! I put mine thru a coffee grinder a few times to get it evenly crushed and it’s amazing !!! Love the channel btw !!!
if you cook it until it gets to "hard ball" stage, or until it comes off a spoon in an apron, put it in a wooden bowl (so it doesn't cool too fast) and Stir Stir Stir! it'll fluff into "granules" all on it's own, no grinder needed!
I am from Maine and I have very fond memories of my father and I going out into the wilderness and tapping sugar maple trees hundreds of them. He always used an old school hand drill to tap the trees. I will always cherish these memories. Thank you for reminding me of the child inside of me that I have almost forgotten.
Just a hint for next season. I used to live in Vermont and made syrup for 5 years. You can cut your boiling time down if you remove the ice from your buckets. The sugar doesn't freeze, only the water does, so remove the ice and you'll have a more concentrated sap.
I saw liquid with ice dumping out of your buckets. The liquid part is the concentrated sugar. I would empty all my buckets into a 40 gallon plastic tub I had, cover it and let it freeze overnight, they the next day I would pick the ice out of the tub before boiling. I guess it depends on how cold it gets. But usually you can chip the ice away and just boil down the liquid. At least that's how it worked for me. It took me 3 seasons to learn that.
I love watching your videos because I learn something new every time you blew my mind making syrup and then brown sugar out of sap. I never knew and I've never really thought about how you can make that. I hate you combined the pots and had a boil over but still that end result was spectacular it was great meeting your brother in the video. Keep doing what you're doing much love and respect from Alabama. 😊
Ha! Yeah, and the funny thing is that I did it again on my second batch! I will spend a lot of time scraping up the sugar and that's my turn to "lick the bowl" my son gets anything left on the stove and everyone is happy!!!
I would like to express to you my great admiration for the benefit and the knowledge that you offer to people as well as to your generous family, who provide you support and support👍🙏
Your son is going to really thank you for the knowledge your teaching him when he gets older and has a family! He already is knowledgeable. Just started watching you today your the best!
Your videos are very inspirational !! Your son is blessed to have a father like you. Many children in the world would love to have this type of bond with their father. God Bless !!

Reminds me of my Maple Shack days in Quebec.....We used to have 5 stoves and the sugar water would go from one to the next as it got thicker. We would always have cups of sugar water at about the middle stove...not water but not sap yet...kept us warm and energized...great memories..thanks for that
Man, ur pretty awesome. I can't stop watching these videos. I'm a OTR trucker and don't get to get out much bc I'm always working. Just wanted to say thx for sharing ur knowledge. ☮️
Makes me extremely happy to see a man teaching all this kind of stuff to the next generation bushmasters. You sir are as great father as Your beard is awesome :D
Bro your son is awsome and you can tell he truly has a pure heart, your family is really blessed, and it shows that your efforts are paying off. Keep up the hard work. God bless you guys
Sugaring brings back memories for me. I grew up in Vermont and can remember the days when either a horse drawn sleigh with a tank on the back or a wagon with horses was used to collect the sap. Then technology came around and the woods were strewn with plastic lines that went directly to the sugar house. Nothing like sugar on snow! The ultimate snow cone haha! Good video!
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the industrialization, but that's where we are. Instead of running the kids around with buckets, they sit on their a$$ eating $20 suckers and sh*t. We could really put all the kids to work, and they would LOVE IT! The tours of sugar shacks..bothersome. But hey, nothing stopping me from doing it myself.
Hey my beard brother u had ur son helping say that felt good spending time together best thing bout outdoors spending time with ur kids or wife just all around great thanks for posting from Rob in USA Virginia

"Waste is a human term!" How right you are... thats the way children should be raised to think and understand life (just like the way you teach such important lessons to your son). 👏
23:30 That Canadian passer by smile. I swear damn near every person you pass on the streets up here has that same smile. Only small addition is the slight nod. And you always do the same back. The mutual "ey buddy".
Teaching your kids is so important especially at this age I respect that a lot man, keep inspiring and teaching your boy. I think it was important when you said that nothing goes to waste and that mother Earth will fully incorporate the body back in the Earth. "Waste is a human term"
For the garden and the weed situation, you can get things like: Black weed barrier fabric to lay around plants- upside is it warms the soil faster so you can start growing sooner and it can be reused, downside is its plastic based and it costs. Pine needles / dead leaves /hay applied as a mulch around plants. Can break them up into mulch or leave them whole. Upside = natural option, holds in soil heat, slows water evaporation so less water is required, slowly disintegrates and gives nutrients back to soil, pine can be used to help acidic soil plants, loose mulch gives a home to beneficial bugs,free option if you gather it yourself. Downside= labor of gathering it, can hold in humidity which is good in some cases, but also can promote molds particularly around squashes- not sure if that would be as much of an issue in your location though. Can also look into permaculture techniques as they require less maintenance and weeds are usually just left to do their thing. Usual thought is they'll choke out plants, but there's evidence that the competition among plants promotes more phytochemicals/nutrition/medicinal benefits pound for pound. Also, in your videos about the garden, I saw quite a few edible/medicinal weeds! They're volunteers, lol! Eat them too :D
Thanks Leah, big problem is that we have clay soil here. We really need a truck of sand to break it up. We have lots of pine needles though! If we get things right, the plants we want should be able to grow and shade out the rest. That's the end goal anyway. We'll see. It's hard since it's not a huge priority for my brother and he has better access to all the things we need. In time though.
The Wooded Beardsman hmm yeah sand would help a lot then for drainage and air/nutrient issues. The weeds are probably helping that process too. Many disturbed/poor soil weeds are soil healers. Can add compost and leaf mulch to start building up new soil too. Each fall when people rake leaves, grab their bags full of leaves! Great opportunity for free compost/soil, lol. Run lawn mower or weed wacker over the leaves to chop em up a bit, rebag or toss in a giant heap pile. toss it around to aerate and add some water / worms every now and then and by spring you'll have a good amount of soil or compost to help amend that clay!
When I made mine a few years ago, I used the stand mixer to whip the moisture out of it. Ran it for about 3-5 minutes and made some fantastic granulated sugar. This year, my plan is to take 20 gallons of finished syrup and make sugar for storage. Great video.
You mentioned that Native Americans would have had a hard time making stew for lack of methods to boil but wouldn't they have had clay pots to boil in? Clay can take intense heat, like the bricks you used to support your vat over the fire. Thanks for being great. I enjoy your channel.
You should try to find or make a much much more shallow tray system for boiling off your water. In Michigan we used a metal boiling table about 4x4 feet with a 2-4 inches deep of sap.
Keep ice cold heavy cream handy. When the syrup boils up high at the end dump cream all at once to bring the temp down right away and scrape the fire out. Yum
I was gonna ask why you asked this and say something like "why wouldn't they it's only (however long) long" but then I checked to see how long it was and only noticed then how long I've been sitting here watching this video haha
I live on Vancouver Island where we have Western Big Leaf Maple which can be tapped from December to early March. I get after it every season. When your sap freezes the sugars concentrate in the remaining liquid.... not in the ice crystals. You can pull out the ice with minimal loss of sugar and save some time and heat energy when evaporating. I know a guy who puts his sap pails in the freezer until they are half frozen in order to concentrate the sap before boiling it off. That's his step one.
Your site has impacted me, it’s about reality, hope , and I see that every one is not brain dead. I sometimes go to a pretty good site called Emmymadeinjapan. It has some fun stuff on it. Interesting food and crafts. Your site is incredible. Thanks again.
Hey dude, your caveman video of extracting the marrow from the bone really took off. Not sure how into it you'll be but what if you made a meal (i know, bear with me) of JUST bone marrows, and broths (fish bones). It's just a thought but I think thats what a lot of people (including myself) loved that video
It's an idea, just fish don't have big enough bones. I'm thinking of a few other ideas, but you are welcome to suggest some. It would be nice to get into some bear again, it's a gold mine of resources.
Hey guys. This is an essentially lost skill. Share it! Help people relearn self sufficiency. It’s just not healthy to buy white sugar from the store. Learning how to make your own will do you good in the long run. Like share and comment!
White sugar is highly refined and I believe that it is during that process that it loses it's natural properties or at least becomes worse for our bodies. I could not explain beyond this point since I'm not a nutritionist or biologist ;)
If you rub butter around the top 2 inches of the inside of the pot, it will cause the syrup to flash back down when it bubbles up. Also, you can use a stand mixer such as a Kitchen-aid to mix the syrup. Works great and the sugar is much dryer and finer. I spread mine out on cookie sheets for a couple days and then put bigger lumps through a fine mesh sieve.
Your son is great. I feel like your a little mean to him at times. My dad never did anything with me. And it took away 10 yrs of my life. You 2 make an aweose team. Happy to see a strong dad/son team. Thanks brotha!
Hey brother I love the channel even when I’m not watching I leave your channel play for view time, Your very inspiring keep it up, Would love a Shout out sometime, take care buddy.
If you would, clarify something for me please? When you tap these trees, there is no 'sand' or inedible grit in the sap, correct? I am thinking that where one company was showing their maple syrup having 'sand' in it which they had to filter out, perhaps this was actually silanes from the tree metabolizing the silicates in the soil which then oxidized and precipitated out, or else perhaps some kind of calcium like crystals. Do you know anything about that? ~( .m.)~
There should never be sand! It might be crystalized sap..into sugar which happens when you go too far past the temp you need to make syrup. If you go long enough, it turns into dry sugar which I have done.
No, there is never any sand. We have clay soils and as the sap boils and reaches syrup phase, minerals precipitate out and form niter or what people call 'sugar sand'. It is not gritty, it is very, very fine powdery feel. No taste. We hand filter and can never get it all out, even when using pre filters and Orlon filters. The 'sugar sand' does not harm you or the syrup flavor. It settles to the bottom of our jars leaving clear syrup above. I watched one woodsman who uses the sugar sand in granola. Hope this helps!
You and your brother are awesome. Inntresting and educational videos. I have always had real maple syrup and candies. I applaud the way you are raising your son.
You are a lucky man to have such a wonderful family and your videos are great. It was nice to see a shout out on your show those kids are doing thibgs we all should be doing. Thank you for posting take care stay safe keep up the great work.

No, this is a simplified version. Real Canadians have to boil down the syrup in their igloo without melting it.
It’s just expected you do this on a monthly basis
TupperWoo no Canadians don’t we do it every day to prove that we are Canadian.
in BC we have no maple trees sooo
You're a very lucky man to have a son that is into what you do. I can see he really enjoys being with his Dad :)
I could not believe how thin the sap was! I thought it came out of the tree a lot thicker. Thanks again for a great video.

What's with you men. You don't have to be into the same stuff not be able to have a great relationship. A relationship depends on the person, the individual. Whether the dad is nice enough and loving enough to engage with his child boy or girl. Girls aren't always into their daddy's stuff but can have a wow relationsihp as boy.

Every time I tell someone how much sap they'll need to make a good amount of syrup they immediately lose interest.

Season 3 with Bob and Season 4 with Jeremy in Woodland Caribou PP.
Just recently came across your channel. Love what I have seen so far. Great to see videos about survival, how its done, and what it takes. Hope that you continue to do this for a good long time.
In a survival scenario you'd just want all the water from the sap anyway, so you'd just drink everything you get; no boiling off in the first place.
Your videos are awesome. This is the first one I've watched with your son. I'm always looking forward to having family around to help in the future.
I worked with my father since I could walk. I'm so thankful he had the patience needed to slowly bring me along. It allowed me to have a real relationship with him, something money can't buy.
This man is the paradigm of what all people should be. Never stop doing what you do good sir!

Man, ur pretty awesome. I can't stop watching these videos. I'm a OTR trucker and don't get to get out much bc I'm always working. Just wanted to say thx for sharing ur knowledge. ☮️
Thank you so much! You really inspire us to go into the wild more and more!
You're welcome buddy, keep at it!
Nice!
We will :)
The new God Of War looks good.

Makes me extremely happy to see a man teaching all this kind of stuff to the next generation bushmasters. You sir are as great father as Your beard is awesome :D
Bro your son is awsome and you can tell he truly has a pure heart, your family is really blessed, and it shows that your efforts are paying off. Keep up the hard work. God bless you guys
Your brother needs to grow a glorious beard like yours
Hahah, he's the real red-head. My hair is actually brown on top :)
Anyone else see the kid almost slip on ice at 4:05
He's a hockey player...messing around testing his balance :)
that was so cute lol
get a life lol
He intentionally edited it into the video. Literally everyone saw it. It took up a majority of the screen even.
I was waiting for a good laugh.
It may be the first video of yours that I've seen but you've got a very majestic beard so I'll probably watch more videos 😂😂
I like that you put your boy in this. We did the same with our 3 daughters years ago. Now they're very self sufficient. Great Vids!
I love the smell of maple sap boiling down, it like how heaven must smell! Absolutely divine!
I start paying attention when the sap starts smelling like syrup. Every spring i make a qt or so from my four trees.
Sugaring brings back memories for me. I grew up in Vermont and can remember the days when either a horse drawn sleigh with a tank on the back or a wagon with horses was used to collect the sap. Then technology came around and the woods were strewn with plastic lines that went directly to the sugar house. Nothing like sugar on snow! The ultimate snow cone haha! Good video!
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the industrialization, but that's where we are. Instead of running the kids around with buckets, they sit on their a$$ eating $20 suckers and sh*t. We could really put all the kids to work, and they would LOVE IT! The tours of sugar shacks..bothersome. But hey, nothing stopping me from doing it myself.
this mans just appeared on my recommended like three days ago for some reason. He is now like on of my favorite youtubers.
Dude, why didn't I knew about you earlier? The stuff you do is awsome!
your Lil baby is the cutest i have 4 kids of my own and they bring soooo much joy to my life.
Dude! So dope to see a young kind learning real skills and is obviously happy!!! I hate that people shelter their kids so much! Btw live your videos
Hey my beard brother u had ur son helping say that felt good spending time together best thing bout outdoors spending time with ur kids or wife just all around great thanks for posting from Rob in USA Virginia
Yup, thanks Rob!
This super phenomenal bushcarft channel and the video he’s makes are great way to help people with their skills bushcraft and learning activities and to be education about outdoors and i am glad to support this amazing man and his experience exciting bushcraft channel and this amazing TH-cam channel and this video is great learn from 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴
Thanks Donna!
I just watch because its the only original YT content nowadays
You guys are like kratos and his son from the new god of war.
Thomas Muehldorf agree nothing like father and son bonding :)
Boy.
Thought this was gonna be a great new TV show or movie to watch about survival only to find out it was a game 😒
CarefaceKarl What’s wrong with that? It’s a good game
"Waste is a human term!" How right you are... thats the way children should be raised to think and understand life (just like the way you teach such important lessons to your son). 👏
23:30 That Canadian passer by smile. I swear damn near every person you pass on the streets up here has that same smile. Only small addition is the slight nod. And you always do the same back.
The mutual "ey buddy".
Fascinating how people back then make their sweeteners!
Ahh, to be canadian~
I’ve never been so proud of someone saying “centimetre”
Watching you with your boy makes me realize how much I miss camping/backpacking with my dad
Teaching your kids is so important especially at this age I respect that a lot man, keep inspiring and teaching your boy.
I think it was important when you said that nothing goes to waste and that mother Earth will fully incorporate the body back in the Earth. "Waste is a human term"

For the garden and the weed situation, you can get things like:
Black weed barrier fabric to lay around plants- upside is it warms the soil faster so you can start growing sooner and it can be reused, downside is its plastic based and it costs.
Pine needles / dead leaves /hay applied as a mulch around plants. Can break them up into mulch or leave them whole. Upside = natural option, holds in soil heat, slows water evaporation so less water is required, slowly disintegrates and gives nutrients back to soil, pine can be used to help acidic soil plants, loose mulch gives a home to beneficial bugs,free option if you gather it yourself. Downside= labor of gathering it, can hold in humidity which is good in some cases, but also can promote molds particularly around squashes- not sure if that would be as much of an issue in your location though.
Can also look into permaculture techniques as they require less maintenance and weeds are usually just left to do their thing. Usual thought is they'll choke out plants, but there's evidence that the competition among plants promotes more phytochemicals/nutrition/medicinal benefits pound for pound. Also, in your videos about the garden, I saw quite a few edible/medicinal weeds! They're volunteers, lol! Eat them too :D
Thanks Leah, big problem is that we have clay soil here. We really need a truck of sand to break it up. We have lots of pine needles though! If we get things right, the plants we want should be able to grow and shade out the rest. That's the end goal anyway. We'll see. It's hard since it's not a huge priority for my brother and he has better access to all the things we need. In time though.
The Wooded Beardsman hmm yeah sand would help a lot then for drainage and air/nutrient issues. The weeds are probably helping that process too. Many disturbed/poor soil weeds are soil healers. Can add compost and leaf mulch to start building up new soil too. Each fall when people rake leaves, grab their bags full of leaves! Great opportunity for free compost/soil, lol. Run lawn mower or weed wacker over the leaves to chop em up a bit, rebag or toss in a giant heap pile. toss it around to aerate and add some water / worms every now and then and by spring you'll have a good amount of soil or compost to help amend that clay!
Gotta work
I'll let this run through and watch ya later
Peace ✌
Excellent video, its great you are passing these skills to your son, that's being a great dad!
When I made mine a few years ago, I used the stand mixer to whip the moisture out of it. Ran it for about 3-5 minutes and made some fantastic granulated sugar. This year, my plan is to take 20 gallons of finished syrup and make sugar for storage. Great video.

You mentioned that Native Americans would have had a hard time making stew for lack of methods to boil but wouldn't they have had clay pots to boil in? Clay can take intense heat, like the bricks you used to support your vat over the fire.
Thanks for being great. I enjoy your channel.
Yup, that would work. I'd have to look because I don't see a lot of records on cooking in clay...because they didn't have any written history :(
Boiling sap long enough to produce syrup would wreck a clay pot. It's boiling point is higher than water. It takes hours upon hours.
They had written history lol Europeans just stole it and said they created it. But I love the work you do
I bet everyone in your family begs you to make them maple syrup
AHah show me the syrup.
You should try to find or make a much much more shallow tray system for boiling off your water. In Michigan we used a metal boiling table about 4x4 feet with a 2-4 inches deep of sap.
This was fascinating! You made this city boy really think twice about appreciating living in the countryside! Thanks so much for uploading
He looks like a Viking. I think it might have something to do with that majestic beard
3:55 he’s talking so good about his son and his sons over there slipping and falling😂😭😭
My son's a ham!!!
waste is a human term .... I love it...there is no waste..but what about haste;)
Haste is a real thing!
So glad I found this channel. Please do more videos with your son on icy paths. Lost it seeing him sliding around.
Your videos are always informative and you never seem to act like you know everything...I like it.
Ever tried maple syrup/maple sugar mixed into milk? Very Delicious.
Like the video, very educational, thanks!
It is good to learn those things like the temperature variations, the issue of the sap getting bitter and so forth! ~( 'w')/
Every Canadian kid remembers their field trip to the maple syrup place. Tapping trees and getting syrup :D
Omg yes
Grew up in bc for us it was making maple syrup candy by boiling it and pouring it on the snow
This has been a joy to watch with your family and all your education info included. God bless you.
Keep ice cold heavy cream handy. When the syrup boils up high at the end dump cream all at once to bring the temp down right away and scrape the fire out. Yum
Who else watch the whole video from start to finish
Mikethemilkman * me
Me
Yessir
not me. when I saw that awful excuse of a fire I stopped the vid.
I was gonna ask why you asked this and say something like "why wouldn't they it's only (however long) long" but then I checked to see how long it was and only noticed then how long I've been sitting here watching this video haha
When his son started slipping I lost it😂😂😂
His son is so smart!
I live on Vancouver Island where we have Western Big Leaf Maple which can be tapped from December to early March. I get after it every season. When your sap freezes the sugars concentrate in the remaining liquid.... not in the ice crystals. You can pull out the ice with minimal loss of sugar and save some time and heat energy when evaporating. I know a guy who puts his sap pails in the freezer until they are half frozen in order to concentrate the sap before boiling it off. That's his step one.
I love it. His son thinks his dad is the coolest person on 🌏. These memories will stay with him
Your site has impacted me, it’s about reality, hope , and I see that every one is not brain dead.
I sometimes go to a pretty good site called Emmymadeinjapan. It has some fun stuff on it.
Interesting food and crafts.
Your site is incredible.
Thanks again.
Thank you.
I lmao when you said he looks kind of dumb when he eats
Sooo funny! The kid bats no eye
Here in Arizona, 100°+ is considered a hot day haha.
[ง •̀_•́]ง he’s also using Celsius which is about 216 degrees farenheit
You mean 100° is a normal day here
It's amazing the amount of work u put into your channel. Man you must really love what you do
I love how he seems like a quiet man and hes is humble and his son looks so much like him!
Hey dude, your caveman video of extracting the marrow from the bone really took off. Not sure how into it you'll be but what if you made a meal (i know, bear with me) of JUST bone marrows, and broths (fish bones). It's just a thought but I think thats what a lot of people (including myself) loved that video
It's an idea, just fish don't have big enough bones. I'm thinking of a few other ideas, but you are welcome to suggest some. It would be nice to get into some bear again, it's a gold mine of resources.
YOOOOOOOOOOO that would be insanely awesome!!!
C'mon, surely you must have known that was coming!!!!
Hey guys. This is an essentially lost skill. Share it! Help people relearn self sufficiency. It’s just not healthy to buy white sugar from the store. Learning how to make your own will do you good in the long run.
Like share and comment!
Yep and it retains all it's nutrients too!!!
Unless you live in the Québec countryside like I do and have family that make this beautiful golden nectar in large quantities every year ;)
Vision Quest Outdoors But isnt white sugar supposed to be cane sugar?
White sugar is highly refined and I believe that it is during that process that it loses it's natural properties or at least becomes worse for our bodies. I could not explain beyond this point since I'm not a nutritionist or biologist ;)
I just don't buy sugar at all as that in itself is healthy!!! Can use honey from beekeepers as the supermarket kind is rubbish.
wilderlife seems like a cool channel to me!
Lucas FFF *crikey*
are you an Aussie? haha
Man i love ur way of life no stress just peace and silent i whish i was lived like u
If you rub butter around the top 2 inches of the inside of the pot, it will cause the syrup to flash back down when it bubbles up. Also, you can use a stand mixer such as a Kitchen-aid to mix the syrup. Works great and the sugar is much dryer and finer. I spread mine out on cookie sheets for a couple days and then put bigger lumps through a fine mesh sieve.
2:19 happy-normal-happy-normal-sad
Hahaha, he does that all the time
If you pull the top ice off it will decrease your boil time. Sugar is the last to freeze.
jaspatters1 I came to the comments to see if someone pointed that out.
That is what I was thinking.
It's nice to see you doing this stuff with your boy will turn out better for him
Your son is great. I feel like your a little mean to him at times. My dad never did anything with me. And it took away 10 yrs of my life.
You 2 make an aweose team. Happy to see a strong dad/son team.
Thanks brotha!
Hey brother I love the channel even when I’m not watching I leave your channel play for view time, Your very inspiring keep it up, Would love a Shout out sometime, take care buddy.
your kid is gonna become a great man.
If you would, clarify something for me please?
When you tap these trees, there is no 'sand' or inedible grit in the sap, correct? I am thinking that where one company was showing their maple syrup having 'sand' in it which they had to filter out, perhaps this was actually silanes from the tree metabolizing the silicates in the soil which then oxidized and precipitated out, or else perhaps some kind of calcium like crystals.
Do you know anything about that? ~( .m.)~
There should never be sand! It might be crystalized sap..into sugar which happens when you go too far past the temp you need to make syrup. If you go long enough, it turns into dry sugar which I have done.
No, there is never any sand. We have clay soils and as the sap boils and reaches syrup phase, minerals precipitate out and form niter or what people call 'sugar sand'.
It is not gritty, it is very, very fine powdery feel. No taste.
We hand filter and can never get it all out, even when using pre filters and Orlon filters. The 'sugar sand' does not harm you or the syrup flavor. It settles to the bottom of our jars leaving clear syrup above.
I watched one woodsman who uses the sugar sand in granola. Hope this helps!
You and your brother are awesome. Inntresting and educational videos. I have always had real maple syrup and candies. I applaud the way you are raising your son.
You are a lucky man to have such a wonderful family and your videos are great. It was nice to see a shout out on your show those kids are doing thibgs we all should be doing. Thank you for posting take care stay safe keep up the great work.
